natural looking, good coverage
I have been using this for a while now and what I find special in that foundation is that is it fluid, natural BUT gives good coverage. Good coverage and not caky, not an easy to find combinaison!

Formula change
This is my second review about this issue, Mars why have you changed the formula, the iconic formula was much better than this version it has ammonum hydroxide in it which I’m allergic too, and the texture is not as food either, I’m running around trying too buy up all the old formulas? Please listen too your customers

Great foundation
I brought this foundation a few weeks ago and I’m so glad I did. After reading the reviews I was unsure whether to purchase it or not but it is the perfect foundation. I apply with my fingers and it goes on so well- so buildable. It looks lovely on the skin and blends out so well. I will Defiantly buy this again.

Formula change??
I switched to NARS Sheer Glow around 5 months ago and absolutely LOVED it! The colour match was perfect for me, there was no oxidisation or discolourisation, it lasted all day, and importantly it had a lovely dewy finish that had excellent coverage but that didn't make my 46 year old dry skin look caked in make-up!! I really felt that I'd found my forever foundation (after a LOT of boring work with testers and samples).
I bought a replacement bottle a couple of weeks ago and I'm really quite sad... :( It's decidedly thicker in texture, and definitely gives my face a more matte finish which looks more obvious and frankly a little cakey... The previous bottle of Sheer Glow was a bit runnier and did splash a little as I took what I needed from the bottle, but I would gladly put up with that if the formula was changed back to being a little more liquid with a truly sheer glow finish.
Do I have a bottle from a dodgy batch? Or have you changed the formulation? PLEASE change it back!!

Like your own skin, but enhanced
I've been a long time user of NARS Sheer Glow (Deauville in winter, Santa Fe in Summer) because it provides good coverage without feeling heavy. I find that issues with creasing, caking, sliding have more to do with the primer used than the actual foundation. This has been my HG foundation for 4 years now. Like you reading this now, I read many reviews before I made the plunge to NARS and I haven't looked back.

Beautiful Coverage
When I saw 'sheer' I definitely assumed this was a lightweight foundation, however, it is a thicker consistency. I use a moisturizer to thin it out and it gives me exactly what I want. It's absolutely gorgeous on the skin
