NARS Sheer Glow Foundation



I prepped my skin with just my usual skincare.



Primer on one side of the face, I don't know why but I expected it to be sticky and it isn't.



Foundation applied using my favourite makeup brush Morphe M444, I apply the foundation on the side without primer first then onto the side with the primer. I know the foundation is not my shade, my skin seems to get lighter and lighter by the day.



Contoured using my NARS Paloma bronzer and Zoeva 109 Luxe Face Paint brush.



Makeup all done, I am also trying out a lipstick on this day.



17:30: I don't really see a difference in the sides.


Date Tried: Tuesday 19th March 2024

Bare faced.



Primer on the one side, the side with the primer looks quite smooth.



Foundation applied and the side with the primer looks more smoother.



Contoured using my NARS Paloma bronzer and Zoeva 109 Luxe Face Paint brush.



Makeup all done and the skin is looking good.



17:15: The side without primer has collections in fine lines, the side with primer looks smoother.
