Ever since purchasing the Nars Sheer glow foundation I've been in love with it. Although i do find it incredibly drying on my skin, so I've been searching for omitting a little more hydration. My favourite parts about this was its coverage, dewy finish and shade range. I find all three very hard to find in a foundation, especially in a cruelty free one. I'd heard a lot about the Koh Gen Do aqua foundation, with even Gigi Hadi loving it. I was incredibly surprised to find the brand was cruelty free and decided to try it out.
The shade range was limited with only 7 shades available at PM studios ( all of a very pink tone). I purchased mine in the colour 013. On me this foundation did not look natural and it was very hard to work into my skin. It really clung to the tiny hairs on my face which was slightly unpleasant. It had a very similar wear time to the Nars Sheer Glow foundation. From a distance my skin looked radiant and dewy. However my face felt heavy and sticky even after setting it with powder. For me it made my dry areas a lot more prominent. Though I wouldn't say it's my new favourite its defiantly similar to the Nars Sheer Glow and didn't further dry out my skin. If you're wanting an alternative to the Nars Sheer Glow thats a little less drying and don't mind shelling out a little bit of money this is for you. If you guys have any suggestions of foundations with a similar finish but less drying leave them in the comments bellow! Id love to her them.
