Favorite Sheer Foundations

I wanted to do a post showing you guys my favorite foundations of the moment, one drug store brand and one high end.

I don't like putting too much makeup on my face so I normally go for sheer foundations that give a dewy finish without making me shiny.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation has become kind of a cult favorite ever since its release. Its got a nice buildable coverage and a nice range of colors. I wear Santa Fe which suits me quite nicely. It gives a nice dewiness without going overboard and with a bit of primer lasts all day. It doesn't dry me out or break me out which is nice because I have serious combination skin which can be problematic. Its all in all a fantastic buy and I'll definitely be repurchasing. My only problem with it is that it comes with a screw cap instead of a pump which is annoying but I can deal with it. I believe they sell pumps at nars stores so I'll probably pick one up at some point. Overall its a fantastic foundation.

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation is a newer foundation for Revlon. I bought this for the summer to match my tanned skin and I love it. I'm generally not a fan of drug store foundations because they tend to cake on me but this stuff is fabulous. Its sheer and dewey, melts into the skin, and gives a gorgeous natural finish. It also has SPF 20 which is great for summer. I wear the shade 150 Nude which suits me quite well. I find that it isn't quite a buildable as Nars and isn't as long wearing but it looks slightly more natural on the skin. For only $7.99 its a great bargain buy if you're looking to spend a bit less on a foundation. It also comes with a screw on top but I guess you can't have everything... Again its a product I'll definitely be repurchasing in the future.

So far I've been using Nars for evenings out and fancier occasions because of the slightly better coverage and the lack of SPF for photos and the Revlon for day to day. I'm super happy with both of them especially for the warm summer months.

What are your favorite foundations for summer?
