Lift cap straight up (do not twist) to expose pump, then dispense 1-2 pumps of Light Reflecting Foundation and warm with fingertips.Living in Florida I’ve found my coloring changes on a weekly basis depending on how much sun I’ve been exposed to. One thing that I can't fault with the NRL is that it is a really lightweight formula, almost as lightweight as the ADLW but where the ADLW is very pigmented and watery thin you don't need a lot of product for coverage whereas with the NRL you do have to use a little more product.

Provides high-performing, full coverage that looks like skin and mimics a healthy-looking complexion with help from the skin-balancing benefits of Hydramatte Balancing Complex. The second time I used a damp sponge and found that not only did it blend in better but also looked better on the skin than the brush, but again didn't blend as effortlessly as other foundations I've tried. A 16-hour foundation that stays turned on by the power of radiance with medium-to-full coverage and a natural finish. Discover all-day satisfaction with a breakthrough in matte foundation: True color oxidation-resistant formula. I have worn this plenty of times and can get away with the shade (using with the Caramel concealer) and repetitively ask friends and family if my base is looking fine and they reassure me that I'm not looking awful, ashy or grey.This formula features superior blendability for an imperceptible effect that looks natural, like skin. Perfect for normal and dry skin types, it evens out tone immaculately and used daily over time it improves skins brightness and texture.

After looking at the shades I would say Valencia would probably match my darker areas better but I still feel like I'd just need a darker yellow olive shade whereas Valencia just looks more warm peach neutral. Sheer Glow Foundation is also a great clean-up tool: use it with a concealer brush under the eyes and around the lips to make sure lines are crisp and picture-perfect. The NRL isn't as smoothing on the skin, it's more like second skin where it mimics the skins natural texture, I also find it isn't super pore filling either. It claims to give you 16 hours of wear, however I actually find that sheer glow lasts longer on my skin before it starts looks shiny. Right now on me it lasts all day but it’s not transfer-proof if you touch your face (ie fingers or to sunglasses).

The sponge obviously absorbed a little extra product so I had to use more, but with a brush it didn't sit on the skin as nicely and looked a little more cakey than the sponge application.

Long time readers may remember I used to use the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in Punjab (formula is thinner than the new one). When this foundation was released, so many loved it and were raving about the coverage, however I was so into sheer glow (which I still am as you can tell if you read the above!

NARS’ first 16-hour foundation has a lightweight, breathable, fade-resistant formula and features medium-to-full, buildable coverage in 33 skin-matching shades to fit all skin tones and undertones. A hybrid “photo-friendly” formula contains powder that adjusts complexion tone in response to the intensity of light—skin never appears washed out.From my personal experiences with this foundation and my understanding of it's formula (you know I like to dissect formulas), I would say it will work best for those with combination oily skin or for those with a Normal/oily skin type or those with dry but smooth flake free skin, I feel like if you have oily skin it breaks up the foundation and makes it patchy.
