Used them all.
At first it was great probably because I was using a cheap rubbish foundation before which caked and was heavy, but after a year of wearing it I’ve realised it’s just as bad but in a different way. It is super lightweight and is amazing within the first 15 minutes but if you dab too much with the sponge it disappears and then starts to seperate, and just basically slides right off your face within a couple of hours if that (I used powder on some days and it just made me look 900 years old, literally pulled all lines up and just looked horrendous)

Holy Grail Foundation
I have used this foundation for years. I have sensitive skin with mild acne and rosacea. This product gives me coverage enough over my redness and is nicely buildable. Importantly for me, it does not look like I am wearing much foundation. The shade I use (Gobi) is the closest match to my neck I have ever found, and the yellow undertone helps even out my redness without having to pile it on.
Very importantly for me, this foundation does not break me out at all, and I break out easily.
The product goes on well. I use my fingers now but have used sponges and brushes in the past, anything is good. The only reason I give this four stars instead of five is because I don’t find that it plays well with some other products. If I use a creamy highlighter or spot treatment it tends to clash and won’t settle or spread well. Otherwise I do not know what I’d do if this was discontinued!

Best foundation i have used
I used nars couple years back and stopped to use more full coverage foundations and honestly my make up never looked as good as it looked with nars. Currently im using the sheer glow foundation again and i love it i really think it does wonders !!!!

I’ve even using this foundation for a few years and I don’t have any negative comments to say about it. I love that it lightweight and my face doesn’t feel “caked” in make up however I can build on the coverage for a night out.
I have one question though, does this foundation have any sun protection in it?

Disappointed
I bought this after reading plenty of reviews on various websites, goes on lovely with a flat top brush, not as heavy as my usual brand and sets well, I also noticed my highlighter pops a little more than usual which is a bonus! But after only 6 hours of wear I have cracks in my smile lines and on my forehead. Gutted if I'm honest!

One of THE best foundations!
This is one of the best foundations and is a staple in my kit, it gives a gorgeous silky dewy look, perfect for Bridal makeup where you don't want to look too cakey or covered in foundation. The coverage is build able, granted its not great for oily skin types but for combo - dry skin its awesome especially with primer. I have 6/7 shades in my kit and my clients don't regret it!

Far too oily
The color is fine a little on the yellow side. My biggest let down however is its so watery. It will take ages to dry and when it finally does its patchy. Definetly not worth the price, drug store makeup has a better formula.
