I'm puzzled why it's not ranked higher. I've tried various foundations including Estée Lauder, but since discovering NARS, I've stuck with it exclusively. The best part? It never looks cakey and adheres to my skin like a second skin. The coverage and hydration are just right, and it comes in a wide range of cool and warm tones. If you test it in-store, you'll understand why people rave about it. Though the quantity may seem small, it lasts quite a while.
ConsYou need to buy the pump separately, and its quality isn't particularly impressive. Mine broke during use. In Korea, it's nearly 20,000 won more expensive.

Here's my review! I have combination dehydrated skin that's a bit sensitive. My foundation shade is 22-23 warm tone. I bought this last March and finished the whole bottle! It's a foundation that really worked well for me. No deep dryness, just the right coverage for daily use without feeling heavy, no dead skin cells accentuated, no blemishes, and the color matched perfectly. It satisfied me in every aspect! The photo I've uploaded shows my skin about 2 hours after applying Sheer Glow. (It was taken with a beauty camera, so there's some skin correction, but I wanted to show you that subtle glow. Let's ignore the bit of oil on my nose!) My nose tends to get oily quickly, causing makeup to break down, but Sheer Glow breaks down beautifully! And the subtle glow it gives makes my complexion look amazing to me!
ConsAs many people point out, you have to buy the pump separately! Come on, NARS, can't you just include the pump?
TipSheer Glow applies perfectly whether you use your hands, a sponge, or a brush!

As a sensitive skin type, I'm glad there's no allergic reaction.
ConsSince I have a slightly dry skin type, I need to properly moisturize my skin.
TipPurchasing online is much more affordable than at department stores.

My skin tone is 23 and on the darker side, but I have a smooth complexion with no blemishes or uneven texture. I also have light freckles on my cheeks, which I prefer to leave uncovered for a natural skin look! I was considering trying the new matte foundation from NARS, but since it's winter and my skin tends to be quite dry, I ended up purchasing the Sheer Glow foundation instead. This product has more of a satin-like finish rather than being super dewy. I really like the soft, velvety look it gives my skin! After 2-3 hours of wear, my face develops a beautiful, natural glow that lasts all the way until night. I don't usually prioritize heavy coverage, so I don't use concealer at all. If there's something I'm really self-conscious about or if I have dark circles, I'll just add an extra layer of foundation in those areas. But this product provides great coverage with just one application - it covers most imperfections without making my skin look cakey. It applies so lightly and evenly! A little bit of this foundation goes a long way, so you have to be careful not to use too much, or it can start to look heavy. But overall, I'm absolutely in love with how this makes my skin look and feel!
ConsIt doesn't have a pump dispenser 😭😭😭 So it was really awkward and inconvenient to use at first!! I heard you have to buy a separate pump for this product. If you need one, make sure to get the pump too!
TipThis product requires a separate pump dispenser to be purchased. If you don't have a pump, you can use a cotton swab to gently dab and pick up just a small amount of product from the bottle, then apply it to your skin. Be careful not to dip the cotton swab in too deeply, as that can pick up way more product than you need. Just lightly touch the top of the product and dab it onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then blend it out with your fingers for a natural, beautiful finish.

The longevity and everything is just perfect. It's not dry, even though it's dewy. It's like creating a new skin? Other foundations just blend into the skin, but this one feels like cracking a new egg on your face. It has great coverage without being drying, and it literally just lays a new layer of egg on your skin, which I love. I think I'll only use this from now on!
ConsIf the application is not controlled well, it can look thick and the breakdown can be strange. Proper application is the key! And if you prefer a natural-looking makeup, this is not recommended!
TipSince this product requires precise application, just do one pump and spread it thinly with a brush, and this is truly... a holy grail product. I absolutely can't use anything else after using this.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe most important things for me when trying foundation are: 1. Skin irritation 2. Breakdown 3. Flakiness 1. Skin irritation: Among the foundations I've tried, Estee Lauder Double Wear didn't cause any skin issues, but it was too drying and actually made my skin worse. After watching Paeony's foundation video, I tried this one and it didn't cause any redness, bumps, or other skin problems. 2. Breakdown: If I don't pat it on enough, it definitely clings to the porous areas around my nose and cheeks and starts to look patchy and cakey. But if I really work it in, it barely breaks down at all!
Cons3. Flakiness: It just doesn't feel hydrating enough :( I've tried applying it with my hands, a puff, and a brush, but it always ends up looking so matte. And if I try to build it up, it always emphasizes the flaky skin, especially on my forehead!
TipLike with any foundation, if you really work it in, it barely breaks down even after 8 hours!

It applied well even if I just slapped it on without much care, and there was no emphasis on flaky skin, which I liked. And the best part is that it didn't look like I had applied it thickly, but rather thinly, which I really enjoyed.
ConsThe downside is that when I touch my hair or lightly touch my face, the product rubs off in that area, which is a bit disappointing. And while I thought it applied nicely at first, over time it seems to get a bit messy and break down. And because it's so moisturizing, it feels like some oil is coming through.
TipEveryone says it's better to apply with your hands, so I tried that, but I didn't really like it. It was a bit tricky to apply around my nose, so I've been using a puff to apply it, and I find that the puff application gives a nice, even skin finish as well. Of course, it may vary from person to person.

It's a good foundation for summer use. It sets immediately after application, and without powder, it stays matte and non-sticky. Around fall when it gets drier, mixing in a drop or two of face oil before applying works great.
ConsOther brands at a similar price point all have pumps, so it's disappointing that you have to purchase the pump separately.

There's no crumbling or flaking. I used to only use Estee Lauder Double Wear in Korea, but I bought this at the duty-free shop on my way to my exchange student program, and it's the best! The region I'm currently doing my exchange student program in has almost 0% humidity, so I think I would have had a hard time if I had continued using Double Wear, but this one is perfect! It's not drying or oily at all! And if you take good care of your exfoliation and oil control, it's really amazing!! The skin expression is the best, and the color is so pretty!
ConsThere's really no downside! But after being in a dry region and then coming back to the most humid Korea this summer, it does get a bit worn down. However, if you take good care of exfoliation and oil control and apply it well, there's almost no wear and it's really smooth.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe longevity is long-lasting, the color is natural and beautiful. The luminosity is also natural, and it doesn't feel dry or anything like that, perhaps because it's still summer.
ConsSome days it looks radiant, but other days the makeup seems a bit dull. The coverage and longevity don't seem to be extremely strong, contrary to expectations.
