THANK YOU for doing actual reviews!! So many first impressions out there, but I prefer reviews where one has used the product many times!

[shannonjenningsmakeup]

In Nars language

Radiant = matte
Glow = matte
Creamy = matte
Matte = matte
Sheer = whatevs

[fancypantsloser]

Karima setting the standard for what a great product review is! Includes swatches, does her research, tests foundation for weeks, uses different primers, doesn't use blurring filters, compares to other foundation in the brand's line, has check-ins, wear test longer than 8 hours. Honestly, A+, 10/10. Thanks for putting in so much effort, it's really appreciated.

Sheer Glow is a holy grail foundation for me and as a combo skinned girl who sufffers from breakouts - I could never use glowy foundations b/c they were too shiny and enhanced imperfections. Sheer glow was the answer to my prayers. It's not the foundation that is sheer, the glow is what is sheer. :)

Hi, I wanted to say that I REALLY enjoyed the format of this video: it was so well thought out, intuitive and informative, especially with the swatches and comparison to such a cult classic! Bravo! Might I made a cheeky video suggestion here? A review of the Pat McGrath Mothership Palettes: it seems to be a palette that polarises opinions, people love it or absolutely don’t think they are worth it. I would love to hear your take on it!

[Iamdivine.goddesslaura]

I love that you actually wear the right foundation shade! I’m so tired of people wearing orange/dark foundations that never matches.

[samanthawarren]

As a point of interest, I am a cool-toned person but love the NARS foundation range. I find the yellowness of their foundations fights a lot of the redness in my skin and actually evens things out much better for me!

[terricampbell]

I have both foundations. I’m 53 yrs old and SHEER GLOW is in my top 5 foundations of life, and I alway have a bottle working. The new radiance is good, but not I probably will not repurchase once my bottle is gone. I’m NC15 and use GOBI in both formulas.

[frecknic]

Interesting that you get such good wear out of Sheer Glow. I just can never get that formula to work on my face. It either fades really fast or if I use a primer, it lasts better but breaks down and looks patchy on my chin. I was excited to see yet another new formula from NARS but then equally bummed to see it wasn't brought out in Siberia which is kind of the gold standard for a really yellow pale shade. Most very fair shades are neutral or pink leaning and while I can make those work, I have to admit something with yellow looks better and helps take down the redness better. I kind of wonder if I need a fresh bottle of SG, but ugh.

[MrsBillWeasley]

Just leaving another appreciative comment on how you're one of the most thorough, hard working makeup channels and we appreciate you Karima!

[prernasharmamua]

Idk if that is just me, but the sheer glow side looks a bit more makeup-y! The natural radiant one looks a but better! And you look beaut as alwaayssss! 💕

[janesporton]

So I’ve had a few days of wearing the new Nars foundation, and I am in love! I did however need to experiment with different application techniques (I’ve settled with using fingers first and then finishing off with a beauty blender for a more seamless finish). I have combo, leaning to more dry skin, and found that it wears beautifully throughout the day unlike previous foundations I’ve tried. I definitely agree with the foundation being prone to transfer however I always set my face which doesn’t make it an issue for me xx

I know this video is 2 years old but it came up in my searches. The fact that you put time stamps in for people to skip through got me to subscribe! Loved this review.

[sahirarodriguez]

I actually mix the both of them and its my favorite combo! I was close to returning the Long Wear Foundation but the way I looked at the end of the day was Flawless! I just couldn't. It looked good to start off and much better after a while. Perfect! My current favorite combo. 💕

[madaniela]

the dedication of leaving exact time frames in you description box😍😍😍 so thoughtful

[PloysaiixD]

I have tried both of them at Sephora and for me that have quite dry skin, I think Nars sheer glow gives me dewy look while I get matt look from Nars radiant. Thank you for the video :) I really enjoy watching this.

[AshleeElizabeth]

Blown away!!!! I have super oily skin and even though this probably wasn't super helpful for my skin type I loved every minute of it!!! The detail and comparisons that you show is absolutely unbelievable! This is what a review should be! Great job 👍🏻👍🏻

[lukystarrklife]

I love the radiant long wear on my skin, been wearing it for like 6months now. But My major problem with it is that it transfers allll the time. I personally prefer foundation that doesn’t transfer. I actually started using the sheer glow for three days now and still assessing.

[gtfojuliaaa]

I have THE SAME unruly nose. How can a nose be so dry and yet separate foundation? One of life's greatest mysteries. I demand nose paradox research to be done immediately 😤

[hannahsvideoplaylist]

I have no idea how and why you don't have more subscribers. Your reviews are SO BEAUTIFULLY in depth. I've just ordered the Nars RL too, my first Nars, so we will see!
