Hey guys! So today I will be reviewing the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab for you guys! I uploaded a youtube review of this awhile ago (here) and I just got around to typing up a blog post review on it. I picked this bad boy Sephora gave me twenty off of a fifty purchase in December and now that I have tried this foundation for some time now, I am ready to review this product for you.

Packaging:
This foundation comes in a glass bottle with a matte black cap. While the packaging is definitely on the more luxurious side, it isn't the most travel friendly unfortunately. I rarely travel with glass bottles because I am terrified that it will break (and with the price tag this one has, I really don't want it to break)! This foundation does not come with a pump, but you can purchase a pump separately for $6. If you do decide to get the pump, you can not place the cap on top of the pump unfortunately.

Swatch of Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab (Left is one pump of product, right is one pump of product swatched out)
My favorite method of applying this foundation is using the It Cosmetics OMG Foundation Brush, I feel like it provides the fullest coverage and the less streaky finish. I also will sometimes use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, but that one doesn't provide as much coverage as the It Cosmetics Brush.
Coverage:
This foundation provides a medium to full coverage! The end result is a nice, flawless finish. The finish is a satin and its a very natural. This foundation photographs beautifully, and doesn't cause a white cast. It takes me around two pumps to get me the desired coverage of this foundation.

Longevity:
With the BareMinerals Original Primer, I've had this foundation on for over 12 hours and it did not budge or cake up one bit. By itself, the foundation doesn't last as long, anywhere from 6-8 hours which is standard wear time for an oily skin girl like me. If you live in a particularly humid climate, I wouldn't recommend this foundation. I primarily use this foundation in the colder months, but with a primer, I can use it in the spring and fall as well! I avoid this foundation for full day wear the summer because Florida is just too hot, but I enjoy this foundation for shorter periods of time and at night.

Final Thoughts:
This, hands down, has been one of my favorite foundation purchases I've made. The formula, longevity, and finish have made this a winner in my book. I definitely think a primer helps with how it looks on the skin as well as its longevity. This is a high end foundation that has all the traits I'm looking for! Biggest downside is the price tag (especially if you factor in that you have to pay extra for a foundation pump).
If you are on a budget, but are looking for an alternative... I recommend you to check out the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation. It doesn't provide the same coverage and is slightly more luminous then Sheer Glow, but it still gives beautiful results. Between the two foundations, I do prefer Sheer Glow more, because I prefer a fuller coverage and a more natural/satiny finish that Sheer Glow provides.
