I see so many people say that Double Wear is their ultimate foundation, but I also hear the same about Nars Sheer glow - so I thought I would compare the two - and tell you which I prefer. I guess if you disagree you can let me know why in the comments below, or better yet if you have another contender though that out into the mix too!
Nars Sheer Glow (£33 + £3 Pump = £36.00)
I am the shade "Gobi"
First up the shade range here is HUGE. Gobi is my perfect match. Nars seem to really look at the undertones, and this is the perfect Simpsons yellow for my pale skin lol.
Don't be fooled by the "sheer" it is far from it. I would describe this as medium to full coverage. It'll cover redness, but it won't cover everything. I hate the term "buildable" as I like to see foundation as they are what they are, so this is not full coverage, but the finish is stunning regardless.
I find this wears beautifully, it can last a full 12+ hours without sliding off my face, and will leave my skin natural vs matte. One of the few foundations that boast a glow but does not melt off my oily skin.
I use a beauty blender to apply this, and it is flawless with this method.
Estee Lauder Double Wear (£32.50 + £4.50 MAC Pump = £37.00)
I am the shade "1N1 Ivory Nude"
The shade range with Estee Lauder is huge, but I feel like there is something missing with the bottom palest shades. just a few more.
Double Wear is definitely a higher coverage than most, but not in a cakey way. Somehow it just covers everything, without clinging to areas or without feeling heavy.
As someone with oily skin I would say this is pretty mattifying - I definitely don't shine through this one. It also stays put all flipping day.
What annoys me about this one is the pump, it doesn't come with one and the mac one fits - but not perfectly, so you need to do the awkward tip and hope you don't end up with WAY too much. As a clumsy person, this is super annoying.
What I would also say is that the finish on this is beautiful, but I am yet to find an application I love with this. It is nice with the beauty blender, but could be better - but same with the brush too. So I would love to know which one you prefer!

| Sheer Glow Vs Double Wear |
So overall for me Sheer Glow wins, but only slightly. This would be the one I would run out and repurchase if I could only have one or the other. But Double Wear is still a stunning choice.
Have you tried either of these yet? Which one do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below :)
