HUDA Foundation & NARS Foundation

Absolutely in love with both of these products, it is completely out of this world. Amazing! I can not add anything more than to say I am one happy paying customer present to future. #Amazing products. Thank you Cult Beauty

S

Love it

First time trying the Nars Sheer Glow and I absolutely love it. Got the colour Punjab matches my skin perfectly. Would definitely recommend.

Eman

I love it!

Love the look of this foundation on the skin and give a healthy look as it can be built to your preference.

Best foundation!

Favourite foundation!

Still my favourite go-to foundation. Beautiful coverage with a natural, dewy finish.

Kay

Love it

Didn't know what to expect with this due to my eczema, but this worked so well for me and the coverage was lovely, didn't feel heavy or cakey. Would buy this again

Nicky

My favorite foundation!

Makes my skin look fresh! Gives me full coverage but my skin still looks like skin.

Montymouse

Damn near perfect

Thought about this purchase for a while, considered other similar foundations with it, Charlotte Tilbury, Aqualumiere, Double Wear, etc. I was also nervous about choosing a shade without actually trying it on my skin. Well I can say, I’m glad I did buy it, this is a lovely foundation, I’d say medium coverage; which is what I was looking for; although I guess you could build it up or sheer it out as required. It gives a lovely glowy, natural looking cover which lasts. Not too heavy, never cakey or powdery - I would definitely recommend and have no hesitation buying it again.

S.

Nice, though not perfect

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this foundation. The coverage is a nice light to medium coverage, and probably buildable, however, I find that the foundation can emphasise any texture you might have on your skin, as well as cling to dry patches and make them look even worse. The foundation looks very natural and seamless. The wear is okay, but in my opinion, not the most long lasting. Also note: bottle comes without a pump, but you can purchase pumps separately.

s.

Good - but no pump

It's good for dry skin, but it really sucks that there is no pump.

Ivana

It’s good but...

I ordered this foundation because I saw so much positive feedback. It’s definitely sheer, glowy and buildable. But! I have dry skin and I don’t think it’s for dry skin because after a few hours you can see every dry bit on my face. Another thing is that I have scars after acne and with this sheer and glowy finish you can see everything bad on your skin. So, I would recommend this foundation to girls that have normal skin without acne and scars.

HR

Best Foundation EVERRRRRRR!!!

Thought my "Born This Way" would be my ride or die - then I tried this. It can do it all... Light, medium, full - whatever you are in the mood for. The tiniest bit goes such a long way. Argh - thank you NARS, I adore this foundation over & beyond.

Ellie

Amazing foundation

This foundation is so beautiful on my combination skin. The shade is precise for my fair skin (Gobi) especially now in the fall/winter. In the spring/summer I'll need a shade darker probably. It has quite thin liquid consistency & feels light, blends right into my skin and looks "live" matte. Sits well for a long time and looks great with other products. Love it.

Sasha

Disappointed

I had a really high expectations for this foundation, but it looks awful on my nose. Other areas are looking good though.

Lorelai51

Another Nars favourite

After using the Radiant Long wear for a while I decided to try the Sheer Glow for a change. And I really like it. It's lightweight but buildable if I want more coverage, but is fine with one application. It has a lovely finish and lasts all day with me only having to powder the combination skin round my nose once or twice, which quite honestly is no hardship. The only reason I've dropped a star, is because unlike the other Nars foundations AMAZINGLY, it doesn't come with a pump... Why? For such a high end product this is ridiculous. Plus the lid doesn't fit over the pump which leaves the nozzle open to the air. Something I really think Nars needs to address.

Pegleg

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

This is the best foundation I have ever had. It covers your skin but it’s so light, I don’t feel like I’m wearing any foundation and doesn’t look like I am, just a fresh, even look.

Nadhia124

Love this foundation

I have been using Nars sheer glow for the past 8 years and I absolutely love it, I mix all my other foundations with it. You can build this foundation to be full coverage and I love the finish. I’m an nc30-35 in Mac and I use the shade Stromboli which has such a perfect golden yellow undertone. Since Huda beauty’s foundation came out I have been mixing the 2 for a full coverage finish. FYI if you want a full coverage concealer get Kevin Aucoin Sensual skin enhancer OMG it is amazing

Ansa

Good

The foundation is great however the colour I had chosen was dark for my skin. If I had chosen the correct it would have been perfect.

CAL

Works for me

Love how glowy this makes my skin look. Downside is being very pale, I find the shade Mont Blanc does oxidise once it drys down and also it is a little difficult to built coverage. But it does make my skin look beautiful.

Dreamer

Surprisingly good

Better than other NARS foundations... Lightweight and has a satin finish. Best one.

Witham

Nars Foundation

I have been using this foundation for a month now, I have found that I need to build gradually with the addition of a little primer. A little goes a long way and gives beautiful coverage. It's not sticky or heavy in my skin. I found it best applied with a brush rather than sponge.

Olivia

Just average

I had very high hopes when I purchased because of so many positive reviews of this foundation. I have dry skin, this foundation is very matte, hence it is little too dry for me. AND, it doesn’t last on my skin! I have to set it with tons of powder otherwise, it will start to crease. Well, it is a good foundation but definitely won’t repurchase.

Kruthika

My first (good) foundation

I was using Clinique before this, infrequently, but halfway through the day dry patches were accentuated. Could also be that the make up was really old? But I find that Clinique doesn't work as well for me as it did a few years ago. Switched to Clarins for skincare (their products are incredible; they do what they say), and after a lot of research and trials (Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, and M.A.C) I decided on NARS for my foundation and concealer. It took me a few tries to get it right. I use just the tiniest amount on primed, moisturized skin, and my skin stays touchable-y soft throughout the day. No breakouts, or bumps so far, and it's been a month or so since I started using it. Use it a few times a week.

RhiRhi

So, I've used this before...

I used this foundation before years ago and ran out. I don't know why I didn't purchase again because it is one of the nicest foundations I've used. It gives a good coverage for my skin. My skin is normal and I get the occasional blemish. It covers my skin without looking heavy but leaves a lovely glow. It stays on all day too. Probably won't be as suitable for a oilier skin as it a little more dewy. I use the shade Deauville for my fair but olive skin. Love it

Emmie

Love!

This is my all-time favourite foundation. It's so lightweight but it gives such good coverage and is really buildable. It blends like a dream and lasts all day!

Maria

BEST FOUNDATION for combination/dry skin

I usually have combination skin with dry patches on my cheeks and forehead, but lately my skin has been super extra dry and I’ve tried so many different foundations but the NARS sheer glow works like magic! I also have medium large pores but this foundation covers it all up with a great medium to full coverage. Absolutely in love!

Wing

Terrible

Make my face feel like I'm wearing a mask.

Mimi

Nars

Love it!

Emma

Amazing!

Builds beautifully! Whether you want a no make up look or a heavy glam look, this foundation can do both! Stays on all day with a little bit of powder and looks very natural and not cakey.

Gab

Best foundation ever

Love it. Always been unhappy with any foundation I’ve had before I found the Nars sheer glow. Completely weightless on your skin. Leaves my skin flawless. Light but medium coverage so also covers blemishes. Love!!!

Miss M

Amazing foundation with a skin-like finish

I've been searching for an everyday lightweight skin-like foundation. I love this thing. I usually have a very hard time finding a shade in foundation because they either oxidize too orange/dark or they're too yellow/ too pink. That being said, I tried a Gobi sample a while ago and was amazed that it blended almost seamlessly with my neckline so I decided to buy the full bottle and what a good choice this was! My skin type is oily/combination sensitive with dry tendencies during winter, dealt with acne in the past. This is based on my personal experience: Pros: - buildable - does not oxidize - matte-satin-y finish , gets more dewy during weartime - skin-like finish - does not break me out Cons: - does not come with a pump and I forgot about it, but there's always a next order :) - if you're more on the oily side you'll want to set this with a good powder Overall I am very happy with this purchase, this is my daily HG foundation and I'll definitely repurchase!

ERIALC

Reliable, everyday foundation for medium coverage

I was always on-off with using Sheer Glow but it speaks to the product if I've been using it for the past 4 years. The finish is roughly medium, and buildable to full, with a satin finish that's moderately glowy and good staying power. It does need to be powdered and I usually apply it with a beauty blender, which gives a flawless finish. It's a staple in my makeup collection and I return to it whenever I'm unsure what I feel like using that day.

Alesia

Best foundation for dry and extra fair skin

Девчонки, этот тональный-лучший,что я пробовала. У меня экстремально сухая кожа и так же очень светлая. Оттенок Siberia идеально сливается с моей кожей. НЕ подчеркивает шелушения, и даже наоборот, увлажняет кожу. Заявленный глоу эффект очень выразительный! Выглядит как своя кожа, только лучше. Очень рекомендую! *** This is the best foundation I've tried. I have extremely dry skin and also very light. Siberia hue blends perfectly and moisturises the skin. The claimed glow effect is very impressive! Looks like your skin, only better. Highly recommend!

Nita

My favourite foundation

I’ve been using this foundation since it was released. At the time at 19, I found it pricey. But in all honesty, it’s worth every penny. At a time when there was literally no other company to cater for dark skin apart from MAC I had no choice but to try. Never looked back since. I have tried other foundations but always come back to this. It’s great for daytime (use less) or mix with my moisturiser, and for nighttime (build up coverage). Amazing!

MunchkinJ

Secret weapon

This is the bee's knees. It doesn’t matter how little sleep I’ve had (mama to two little terrors) I always get told my skin looks great/radiant - that’s with 10 years of adult acne scars to cover up too. It just blues away any imperfections, is incredibly light so doesn’t look like you’re wearing anything, doesn’t block pores or cause breakouts. It lasts all day even on my oily skin and is my secret weapon to looking put together. As it’s so light it takes seconds to apply and you can’t apply it badly, it just melts in.It also photographs beautifully. I cannot rave about this enough!

bell

My holy grail

I have used a lot of foundations over the year, desperate to find that perfect one. From Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation to Fenty Beauty, the struggle has been real. But over a year ago I stumbled across this foundation and have honestly not looked back. I've repurchased this foundation approximately four times, this being my fifth and not regretted it once. It's long lasting, has a dewy finish and despite rumours is perfect for oily and combination skin, I wear this in retail work 10-hour shifts and it does not budge. I love this foundation to the earth and back, and could cry with joy seeing I can now just order it here! Wow, this was a long winded review basically I love it 10/10 would recommend to all my friends and family.

Lesley

Just l-o-v-e this Nars foundation.

I know it is a lot of money to pay for a foundation but my goodness it is worth it as far as I am concerned. I am in my late seventies and it is the first foundation I have tried that doesn’t sit inside my facial lines. It is light and gives an exquisite finish. I found it difficult to order the correct colour online and Cult Beauty were amazing and exchanged it without any problem as I originally ordered an unsuitable colour. Will be ordering again from them.

Marley

Love, Love, Love it x

Absolutely amazing product. I'm not amazing at makeup but this is so easy. Just tap it on lightly, and your face just glows. I'm so glad I bought this NARS foundation. I'd love another 10 to try them out. Just add bronzer, blusher, mascara & go!!! 10/10

Soleda

Disappointed

I had higher expectations, very thick product, no matter how much you shake does not come out easily, not suitable for dry skin, even if you super moisturize your skin this foundation leaves patches and looks terrible in a few hours, 10 euros foundations are much better, this is not worth your money!

mari

good foundation

I was pleased with Nars Sheer Glow, it has nice finish, comfortable on the skin.

Elien

Mont Blanc isn’t really like the advertised colour.

So, I use Nars concealer and it is my best concealer. I decided to also but the foundation. I don’t usually wear makeup; at all, but I thought this will be an investment, seeing that it will last me a lot! I purchased Mont Blanc. It’s a nice colour, but it’s much darker than it is advertised. I will probably give it to my sister; she has an olive tan, something like that. For my fair skin with neutral tones, it is really a tint or even two darker. The concealer is the bomb, though. Also, the price a Lil’ steep. Just a Lil’. I do like the texture!

I.

Amazing

A perfect match for my skin (finally!). I am in shade Oslo which is the best match ever, blends so easily and looks super natural. Coverage is exactly as described but buildable. I have combo skin but no oil issues with this. It does last for sure, have worn 14 hours and my skin still looked good!

Teena

Your skin but better

Now I know what the hype is about. Purchased Stromboli and Barcelona best suited for Indian Skin Tones. Amazing texture, the foundation beautifully sits on your skin. And shipping from cult beauty to India ++. 4 stars because Nars should redo the sheer glow packaging with a pump :)

Hawraa

Good

Good but very glowy

Chloe

Love love love

My new go to. I love this foundation. It’s medium coverage but buildable without going cakey. Perfect on my combination skin it doesn’t clog around my dry spots. Definitely get it if you’ve got dry skin. Can go oily around my t-zone quicker than a matte foundation, but easily resolved with powder. It does oxidize so be mindful of that when picking a shade (I recommend going one lighter than your shade)

Noor

Absolutely amazing!

I have been using the shade (Punjab) and it has done wonders. The coverage is good and the texture is really light and moisture that makes it settle on the skin for longer. The only downfall is that it comes without a pump and I find that really silly and ridiculous.

Lucy

Second skin

I have fair skin with pink undertones and my skin is very very dry. I have spent years finding the perfect shade and texture in foundation and I would absolutely recommend this one from Nars. The rating of this product should be 5/5. If you have oily skin this is not foundation for you.

nova

disappointed

So, so disappointed! looks awful on my skin (regular to oily skin).

Ella makeup artist

Just amazing

Despite many reviews that were opposite, I took the risk and bought it! I can say one thing, I have oily skin and this is at the moment the best make-up I have ever had!

Miracle

Perfect for me except the pump which is missing

The coverage is great as well as the texture. Love it! But I had to buy a pump since it comes without it... It will take time until it will be delivered so order in advance.

Sw1992

Not great for oily skin

Looks beautiful when you first put it on but even with setting my face was so oily after about an hour. If you have dry skin I'm sure it would be great.

Lina

Good but...

I'm happy with the consistency and the coverage, very nice and light texture, it's similar to BB cream more than a foundation. However, I found it so disappointing that the foundation comes WITHOUT a pump. This is ridiculous for a high end brand. And buying one on top of the already pricey foundation is a bit of a waste, plus not good for the environment as this is not a product you can reuse. So thumbs down to Nars for that.

NM

AMAZING!!!!

This foundation is completed worth the hype - an absolute must have!

Rosie

FAVE FOUNDATION EVER

I love me some beautiful, glowy, healthy-looking skin. And this foundation is a must in achieving this. It has a satiny finish with buildable coverage, and it just looks so natural on the skin. Blends perfectly and is easily set. It is breathable and lightweight - I literally don't feel it on my face.

AH

Perfect!

Katie

A little bit confused...

I like this foundation: it feels light and is barely visible on skin, applies good and easy. But there is no glow. At all. As a person who previously used Korean foundation, I see nothing glowy, unfortunately. But anyway, I will order this foundation again. Recommend.

S

Beautifull

Works beautifully on my fave. My dry skin hasn't looked this nice in a long time with foundation. Also the shade selection goes fair enough to work with my pale complexion.

Ellie

Love!

The best foundation! Great coverage and a beautiful finish.

Samanta

Nars sheer glow

Absolutely no glow. It looks like flour on my skin, and cakey.

Nofar

Both love it and hate it

I have normal skin. It's light weight and beautiful, looks like second skin when you first apply it. But it doesn't seem to be long lasting and it clings on dry patches. It doesn't work with every primer. I used it for 2 weeks already and I'm still trying to find the best way to use it. I will use it until it ends but I wont buy it again. Too much hassle!

Noraina

Nars sheer glow

One of my favourite foundations.

Wawa

All time fav!

One of my fav foundation. Very good coverage.

Carly

Found my perfect foundation!!

I’ve struggled in the past with finding a foundation that matched my skin tone and also didn’t feel too heavy and thick on my skin! That is until I decided to try the sheer glow foundation and I love it!! Isn’t heavy on my skin even when I build up the coverage and the colour match is really good especially since I’m so pale with neutral/pink undertones & doesn’t separate on my face either. No.1 foundation for me!!

Kara

Not for me!

This foundation sat in my pores, really noticeably. Tried with and without different primers, no difference. The shades are excellent but the formulation is not. It didn’t last more than 2 hours before breaking up and made my face even more oily than it normally is. To top it off, the top of the glass bottle sheared off when putting the lid back on so won’t be repurchasing.

Bushra

Nars sheer glow punjab

A little goes a long....works efficient with a primer...stays all day.good for dry skin buildable. The biggest flaw is "no pump" .its difficult to know how much you are applying.

Ioana

Impressed

So I've been looking for an everyday foundation for my combination skin type as long as I can remember and I have always had a hard time finding something for my picky taste,but O.M.G! I can literally tell that this is by far my favourite foundation.The shade it fits perfectly (Mont Blanc) and the texture is just amazing.It blends seamlessly with both, brush and sponge, it feels weightless,has a very natural finish,skin-like,has a light to medium coverage but buildable without looking or feeling heavy and doesn't budge if settled properly.I really really love this product and recommend to everyone especially for mature skin as it doesn't emphasize wrinkles.

Flo M.

Love it

On my second bottle. I have combination skin with dry patches on my cheeks and this foundation works great for me. Medium to full coverage. Try to apply with fingers and you won't regret it.

Malin

Best foundation for dry skin

This is my new fave foundation. It looks like skin but still gives medium buildable coverage. The finish is luminous but not dewy.

Ellen

I wish I tried this sooner

This foundation is everything and is my new every day favourite and I'm sure will be for years to come. It's got amazing coverage, medium to full, and the finish it not dewy but still luminous, it sets beautifully and sits well with powder. It doesn't bunch up or go patchy throughout the day even in the t-zone. LOVE IT

daw33

Amazing

Love this foundation. You only need 1 pump for your whole face. It actually looks better the longer you wear it. It looks sort of matte when you apply it but the more you leave it on the more glowy it gets.

CJ

Excited

So pleased that my fav beauty shop now stocks my current foundation obsession. Sheer Glow is a must-have. Doesn't sit in fine lines like the countless other foundations I've owned. Has an excellent level of buildable coverage for day or night, that has never caked on me. Gives my dry'ish skin a lovely luminous look, (I use with BECCA Backlight Priming Filter). It's such an upgrade from Double Wear and IMO better than anything Tilbury, Tarte or Clinique makes. Was easy to match and goes on lovely with a blender. I add a drop of Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair to sheer it out a bit in the summer and give an extra glow.

Pia

My fave

The Nars Sheer Glow has been a favourite of mine for years. It’s got great coverage (I’d say medium to full), a gorgeous finish (not dewy, but beautifully luminous, lit from within), incredible stay power (I’ve worn it desk to dusk with no issue). It does need to be powdered in the t-zone. I recommend applying with a damp beauty sponge, as applying with fingers brings messy results.
