Your Makeup Routine’s Must-Have Secret Weapon?

July 13, 2020

Promising radiant skin and 16 hours of wear time, is the tinted NARS Glow Booster a secret weapon you NEED in your makeup routine?

Tinted NARS Glow Booster Review I Dreaminlace.com

Be it summer or wintertime, a beautiful glow is always in style. Sometimes it’s natural, other times we need a little bit of help. And that’s where makeup can come in to help bring that radiant light to your complexion.

Whilst perusing the NARS website recently, I spotted their tinted glow booster under new arrivals. Turns out this was released a few months back and I’m actually bummed I didn’t discover it sooner. How it slipped by me undetected till now I do not know, but I had to get my hands on it. After all, NARS is one of few brands that I thoroughly trust when it comes to base products. Add to that a number of rave reviews from customers and I was sold! 

The Tinted NARS Glow Booster

For the last several weeks I’ve been using this religiously and I wager it’s one of the best products of the year. The NARS GLOW Booster is also a rather versatile product that you can wear in three ways:
 
  1. On its own as a tinted moisturizer
  2. Beneath foundation as a primer, adding a nice glow and extending your foundation’s wear time to up to 16 hours
  3. Atop your foundation as a highlighting kiss of radiance

Above, I’m wearing the NARS’s Glow Booster underneath the Longwear Radiant Foundation AS WELL as on the cheekbones for some extra highlight.

SHADE RANGE: 4 COLORS

Currently, NARS offers the Tinted Glow Booster in 4 shades: light, medium, medium-deep and deep. Picking this up online, I sat deliberating back and forth for ages trying to decide between the Light and Medium shades. In the end, I went for Medium and it is the perfect color match for me. For reference, I wear the shade Punjab in NARS foundation.
 
Honestly, the limited shade range is a drawback. As the product is currently said to be limited edition, I understand not wanting to create a huge surplus of shades but 4 seems rather limited in my view. 
 

Light Coverage

As a tinted product, the NARS Glow Booster does deliver light coverage that evens your skintone out nicely. I’ve really loved wearing it this way on days where I have errands to run but don’t want to go the full foundation route. 
 

Lightweight

I’m beyond thrilled to report that the Glow Booster is so lightweight it’s practically undetectable!! This is especially great news for those who want to wear this underneath their foundation as it won’t leave your skin feeling weighed down. It also looks and feels looks like your skin.

Weartime: LONG!

 
While I don’t think I’ve worn the NARS Glow Booster for a full 16 hours, I have definitely come close. Both under and over foundation, I find it really does have incredible lasting power. It also really does increase the wear time of your foundation. Such as, I wore this with the Covergirl Clean Fresh foundation that tends to break apart on me after 6 hours. It stretched that wear time out to about 10 hours before I washed my face which was a pleasant surprise!
 

Great for Oily Skin

 
A lot of the time, those with oily skin need to tread very lightly with “glow” products. Fortunately, that isn’t the case here as the product is both water based and oil-free. It boosts glow with a satin, not dewy, finish that you can safely wear without fear of your face becoming a greasy mess. 
 

Added Skincare Benefits

As if delivering glowy skin and 16 hours of wear time wasn’t enough, NARS also packed some skincare benefits into their glow booster. The product includes a Jojoba Hydraglow Complex to hydrate to nourish your skin throughout the day. A hydration boost is always a plus in my book!!

NARS GLOW BOOSTER RUNDOWN

PROS

CONS

  • Limited shade range
  • Currently said to be limited edition — which I seriously hope changes as I’d love to see this become part of NARS permanent range

Overall Grade: A+

Well, well, well. This is a very rare occurrence. In fact, I don’t think I’ve even awarded an A+ grade before but I truly love this that much!

As it is limited edition, I’ve already ordered a backup and think I might grab a couple more just *in case * it well and truly does go away. In the meantime, I highly recommend you pick this up as it’s absolutely the new secret weapon in my makeup routine. I love this on its own and under foundation most of all — but it does give a nice kiss of radiance to the cheeks as well as a highlight. Seriously, how is this not receiving more hype? It’s phenomenal!!
