NARS Sheer Matte Foundation

It's taken me a while to do this review but I wanted to really test this foundation out before I gave my thoughts on it. In the months that I've been in London, I must have purchased, with the exception of the MAC Studio Fix fluid, Studio Tint and Mineralised Satin Finish, every MAC foundation that my MAC counter had to offer. Now I love MAC. I really do. I would hyperventilate if they were to ever discontinue their MSF Naturals but while I was able to find a great match with their foundations and concealers, I hated the way they made my skin look (oily and mask like). After lusting over the NARS Sheer Glow foundation, I decided to pop into Space NK and get a foundation match.

I'm an NC44/45 in MAC foundations so Cadiz was the perfect shade for me. Due to the fact that I have combination skin, the MU artiste recommended the Sheer Matte after i told her I'd be on holiday for the Summer. I've been using it religiously since I left the UK and I love it! Now I must say that while in the UK...it was extremely great at keeping ALL oil at bay but since I've been home, I do experience some oiliness after 5 or so hours, which I guess isn't that bad and it's not enough to look like an oil slick.

Pros: Helps to keep oil at bay
         Improves Skin tone
         Perfect shade match
         Easy to blend
         Holds up under the hot Caribbean sun!!!

Cons: Price (29 GBP)
          Accessibility
          

All in all i love this foundation and plan to get the Sheer Glow when I return to the UK (just because lol)
