The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is crafted to provide a naturally radiant finish that feels light on the skin. Its unique formulation enhances your complexion without making it appear heavy or caked-on. This foundation performs best when applied to clean, moisturized skin, allowing its hydrating properties to truly shine.
Application Tips:
For a Natural, Everyday Look: Begin with a small amount of foundation. Dispense a pump onto the back of your hand or directly onto a damp beauty sponge or your fingertips. Start applying from the center of your face and blend outwards towards your hairline and jawline. This technique ensures a seamless transition and a 'my skin but better' effect.
For Enhanced Radiance: For areas where you desire a bit more coverage or luminosity, apply an additional thin layer and gently tap it into the skin with a sponge or clean fingertip. The buildable nature allows for layering without compromising the natural finish.
Customization: You can mix a tiny drop of your favorite liquid highlighter with the foundation for an extra boost of glow, or blend it with your moisturizer for an even sheerer tinted moisturizer effect.
Getting the most out of your NARS Sheer Glow Foundation involves proper preparation, understanding its compatibility, and maintaining good hygiene.
Prepare Your Skin: Always start with a clean, hydrated face. Apply your regular skincare routine, including moisturizer. For extended wear or specific skin concerns, you may wish to use a primer.
Dispense Product: Shake the bottle gently before use. Dispense one to two pumps of foundation onto the back of your hand or a clean mixing palette.
Apply Evenly: Using your preferred tool (fingertips, foundation brush, or damp beauty sponge), pick up a small amount of product. Begin applying to the center of your face and blend outwards using gentle, sweeping or patting motions.
Build as Needed: For areas requiring more coverage, apply a second thin layer and blend carefully until seamless. Avoid applying too much product at once to maintain the 'sheer glow' effect.
Skin Types: This foundation is specifically formulated to be suitable for normal, normal-to-dry, dry, and very dry skin types. Its hydrating properties help to prevent dryness.
Product Pairing: For best results, pair with NARS primers that suit your skin type and follow with a lightweight setting powder (if desired) or setting spray to prolong wear.
Storage: Store the foundation bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, to maintain product integrity.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, always apply foundation with clean hands or freshly cleaned tools. Regularly wash your foundation brushes and sponges with a gentle cleanser and allow them to air dry completely.
