This or That : NARS Foundations
One of my favorite foundations on the market is NARS Luminous Long wear Foundation. NARS as a whole just gets complexion eye well. They have some of the best complexion products, with the best undertones and finishes. NARS origin was an artistry brand and they create some great items for makeup artists to add in their kit. However, if you want makeup products that give you a flawless, professional makeup look; you have to try their complexion products.
In this post and as well as the video linked below, I did a review on NARS Luminous Longwear Foundation compared to the Sheer Glow Foundation. I had never tried the Sheer Glow Foundation on myself but I have heard so many great things about it. I wanted to see if it would top the Luminous Longwear Foundation. I tried them both in the same shade (my shade is New Caledonia) and they both look the exact same color on the skin, amazing undertone. They both blended beautifully. I have a neutral undertone and find most foundations for brown skin have too much of an orange undertone. This foundation shade however is PERFECT!
One thing that I noticed that was different was the finish. Although they both claim to have a glowing skin-like finish, however, the Sheer Glow had a very natural skin-like glow to the finish. Although it is medium/full coverage; it does have a natural skin finish. It also has a natural skin glow, so if you want your skin to like natural skin BUT BETTER, this is a great option. The Luminous Longwear Foundation sets into a light powder finish. This is what allows it to last all day long. It does have a natural skin look, but it’s more polished. This is a great foundation for a full face makeup application. I also recommend if you are going to have your makeup on all day, this is a great pick. I use this foundation on my clients who are doing a photoshoot or a wedding. It looks great on camera and in person.
Although I don’t think Sheer Glow will replace my favorite Luminous Longwear Foundation, I think they both hold a purpose. I will use them both, and now regret trying Sheer Glow because now I love it. The only downside to the Sheer Glow foundation is that it doesn’t come with a pump. I hate that I have to purchase it separately. It's very inconvenient and messy when applying it, however, it’s not the end of the world. Just wanted to mention that one con to this product.
