I got this foundation a few weeks ago because I wanted to get one for everyday wear. I wanted to get something that I knew I would love so I did my research by trying to find out what the makeup gurus on YouTube wear when they are getting ready. NARS Sheer Glow came up as an option for a dewey finish for dry skin which is exactly what I wanted. When I first went in to Sephora to get it, I picked out a shade on my own based on what tones I usually stick to. But when I tried it on at home it was clearly too dark for me. So if you are trying out this foundation for the first time, I would highly recommend getting matched. The shade that worked for me was Syracuse.
If there is one thing this foundation is known for is how it is neither sheer nor glowy and both accusations are true. It has medium coverage and has more of a matte finish than a 'glow'. BUT I think the sheer actually refers to its consistency during application and not its finish. It goes on very smoothly and if you moisturize well beforehand, ends up being semi matte in finish. In fact Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse is very similar except it dries a little more matte.
One thing I noticed about it is that it transfers pretty bad if you don't set it with powder. I usually never powder because I have dry skin but if I put my face in my palm while reading something, I noticed it stains my palms and consequently everything else I touch.
The square bottle is very chic and feels luxurious.
Overall though, I am very pleased with this product because of its beautiful finish. As an added bonus, NARS does not test on animals. :-)
Pros: Even finish, matches really well with skin tone, smooth application.
Cons: Tends to transfer, bottle does not come with a pump.
