Recommended for makeup beginners! : It's easy to use and has good spreadability, not limited to brushes, puffs, or hands as tools. : The name is 'Sheer Glow' but it has a semi-matte formula. : Coverage: Medium (not too high, allowing for a natural skin expression) - Gentle ingredients : These days, other brands also pay a lot of attention to ingredients, but when I first encountered this product, it was almost the only foundation with such gentle ingredients. The ingredients are good and the formula is just right, so it's the foundation I reach for the most on days when my skin is sensitive. - Beautifully fades : Since it has a semi-matte formula, it fades naturally when it wears off. : It can't be considered to have extreme longevity, but if you touch up the oily areas occasionally, the overall wear is quite good.
Cons- Packaging : You have to purchase a pump separately to use it conveniently : There is a lock on the pump, but it's still uneasy to carry it in a bag.
Tip- The formula is best expressed when applied thinly, rather than trying to build up thick coverage. - If you need more coverage, it's recommended to use a separate concealer.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe main reason I liked it at first was that the foundation colors were diverse and the base colors were really pretty, so I bought it. When I told the store clerk that I have dry skin, she actively recommended it to me. The season of use was summer, so it was fine, but considering the name 'Glow', it had a rather semi-matte finish, so I think it would have felt dry if I used it in the winter 🥺 Those with dry skin will likely enjoy using it in the summer, while those with combination or oily skin will probably find it more suitable for fall and winter. The application was good and the coverage wasn't bad either. Aside from the finish, it was generally average, so I think anyone who buys it will be able to use it without any issues. It was a product without any major advantages or disadvantages.
ConsIt's a really average and unremarkable product, so there's no real impact.

It has a semi-matte finish, which can be a bit drying in the winter, but overall I'm satisfied.
ConsIt does get a little dry in the winter though :(

The finish is semi-matte, so there's no stickiness. I was a foundation nomad, but this may be the best foundation I've ever used.
ConsThe coverage may be a bit lacking. It may not be suitable for those who want high coverage.

Even after two applications, it doesn't look overly heavy. The ingredients are also great, better than any other foundation.
ConsI wish it was a bit more matte. The lack of a lid is inconvenient, but since it locks when turned, it's still okay.

Coverage The semi-matte finish seems to be the reason why I was satisfied with the level of coverage. To give you a comparison, the coverage would be: Estée Lauder Double Wear > NARS Sheer Glow > Make Up For Ever Ultra HD. Estée Lauder gives a very strong 'I'm wearing makeup!' vibe, while this product has a nice balance of coverage and natural look. 2. Gentle Ingredients. No Breakouts This is the first foundation I've seen with such gentle ingredients. That was one of the reasons I chose this product. Especially since foundations often cause breakouts for me, but I haven't had any issues with this one - thankfully! 3. Shade Range Personally, I think NARS has a great shade range. I chose the Dövil shade as I have reddish skin tone and am shade 22. I'm very satisfied with the color match. 4. Longevity The longevity is similar to the coverage - Estée Lauder > NARS > Make Up For Ever. I think this level of longevity is good. In the summer, it starts getting a bit oily after 4-5 hours, but in the fall/winter, it's perfect! 5. Value for Money I remember buying it for around $43 at the US Sephora. It's not extremely expensive, and a little goes a long way, so I think it lasts a long time. 6. Texture and Application Despite the semi-matte finish, the formula is still hydrating and applies smoothly. No issues there.
Cons1. The Lid!!!!! There's no built-in pump! When you open it, it's just like the Estée Lauder Double Wear - I heard a pump costs around $10. So you have to be careful with the amount you dispense, as it can be too much or too little at first. 2. Dryness I wouldn't recommend this to dry skin types. As others have mentioned, while it's called 'Sheer Glow', the finish is actually semi-matte, so it can feel drying. Even though I have oily skin in the summer, I found it a bit tight on my skin in the winter. ----Revised on 2018.11.24 Hmm, it does seem a bit drying to use in the fall/winter, so I'm taking off one star. But my recommendation for oily skin types still stands.
TipDispense an appropriate amount, then use your fingers to apply the foundation evenly all over your face. Finish by lightly tapping with a damp makeup sponge to blend it in.

The name is Sheer Glow, but it finishes off slightly matte, which is good for oily-skinned people. The application is also good and the ingredients are nice!
ConsThe breakdown is really disappointing 😢 If I don't use powder, it just crumbles apart in an hour. The skin expression is so pretty though :(
TipSo I'm mixing it with the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Foundation, and it's a decent combination that helps compensate for each other's weaknesses.

It adheres nicely to the skin, has good coverage, and doesn't break down or cake up as much as other products. It also doesn't darken as much, which I really like. One day, I applied it in the morning at 7:30 and didn't do any touch-ups throughout the day. When I got home at 7 PM and cleansed my face with a makeup remover wipe, most of the original application was still there. This means I don't have to do frequent touch-ups, which is very convenient.
ConsThe price is a bit on the higher side. Personally, I don't have any other major complaints.

The 22nd shade is slightly too bright, but the foundation adheres thinly without appearing cakey. It doesn't have too much yellow undertone, so it should work well for both warm and cool skin tones as long as the brightness matches. ✔️ It applies thinly and has excellent spreadability, setting matte on the skin with great adhesion. So it's absolutely top-notch in terms of longevity and adhesion. For oily skin, it breaks down cleanly, and for dry skin, there's no breakdown. The glow doesn't show, but first-time users might think it's a dewy foundation because of the 'sheer glow' effect. ✔️ There's minimal transfer, so you don't need to use powder, and it's lightweight, making it great for daily use all year round. ✔️ The spreadability is good, so in a hurry, you can just swipe it on with your hands, but for pore coverage, using a brush is better. I like to apply it with a pore brush or a flat brush, then lightly dab with an air puff. Sponges like the wedge puff might make it too dry. It's not a bouncy foundation or a dewy one, but a spreadable matte foundation!
ConsThe need to buy a separate pump. The coverage isn't very high.
Tip✔️ As a foundation known for its good ingredients, it doesn't cause breakouts or rashes, so when my skin is sensitive, I cover with the CanMake Color Mixing Concealer first, then apply the sheer glow foundation to overcome it.♡ The photo compares the Stromboli shade and the Deauville.

At first, it was semi-matte, but over time, the oil came up, so I had to powder it.
ConsIt was a shame that I had to buy the pump separately. Next time, I'd like to try a more moisturizing foundation.
