[XoXoSakuraKissXoXo]

You look absolutely gorgeous here!

[divakbear]

[Lisasz09]

@divakbear I am NW30 I think I havent used mac in so long i am not sure

[NewBeautyByLouis96]

Your hair, skin and make up look gorgeous! Love the accent too! Stay Beautiful xoxo

[SaphiraFashion]

your eyeliner looks amazing in this video... what are you wearing?

[Lisasz09]

@SaphiraFashion Stila Smudge pot in black in both parts!

[coach12]

you're supposed to use your hands to apply the product. 

[k112an1]

what colour did you get in the nars sheer glow?? thanks

[Lisasz09]

@k112an1 punjab

[PutOnYourLipstick]

Great review- all the first half of the video I was thinking that from what you described, you MUST have gotten a wrong match! It happened to me too. You really do need a good undertone match in this one, or it will go super blotchy. I absolutely love it now that I match it properly

[xuxu252]

love your hair!

[jazminnnnxx]

your skin looks amazing here lisa!

[careynvegas21]

I HATE this foundation: streaky/ hard to blend,emphasized my pores and cakey on me! I was able to try this for 4 days. I appied it in different ways and nothing worked. I am so happy I got a sample and didn't purchase it. I did go back to see if there was a better color for me, but the colors are so limited. Buyer Beware don't believe all the hype on this foundation on YouTube b/c it didn't work for me. Love ya Lisa for always being so honest!

[ThePinkChilli]

Hey Lisa, Great review. Can you do a comparison of the Nars Sheer Glow and the Mac Miineralize Satinfinish foundations?

[Lisasz09]

@ThePinkChilli The MAC has lots of shimmer to it and the NARS although it is called Sheer Glow does not have shimmer and has a great finish- I would suggest NARS over the MAC one!

[ThePinkChilli]

@Lisasz09 : That's really interesting. Thanks for taking the time to respond Lisa. I know it must be hard considering how many comments you get per video! :)

[MyLittleSecret7]

Hi Lisa, I was wondering which do you like better... the dior nude or the nars sheer glow? I wanted to purchase either one since they seem pretty similar. But I don't know which one to get. Can you please help me out? Thank you =)

[Lisasz09]

@MyLittleSecret7 NARS! :o) The finish is amazing!

[MyLittleSecret7]

@Lisasz09 Thank you so much! =)

[Qu33neY]

very helpful video! Keep it up :>

[luvlychanty]

can you please do a review on the nars sheer matte foundation?

[Lisasz09]

@luvlychanty i dont think the matte version will work with my skintone so i dont think i am going to purchase it- sorry!

[BaaabyTi]

Lisa, i wear this in fiji but it matches my face and i dont think it matches my neck and rest of my body....so i feel like i look a bit ghostly..i have a feeling im in punjab just b/c ive actually recdieeved 2 different shade opinions by 2 diff nars sales associate. could i ask, what shade in mac are you ? so i can refer to =)

[Lisasz09]

@BaaabyTi i havent worn mac in so long but I think I would be 30!

[grewaljassu]

@BaaabyTi hey....dropping in hoping to help....I STRONGLY suggest that u do not purchase punjab shade if at present u r using Fiji....Because these two colours are WAY APART from each other in the spectrum.....Instead try ceylan or santa fe...Am sure it wud work with u

[BaaabyTi]

@grewaljassu thanks, but i acutlaly did exchange fiji for punjab and it was definately the better match. out of all shades i have ever tried in this world, it is literally THE perfect match for me. fiji was definately way off. the girl got it all wrong. good thing i knew enough to exchange! lol.

[jbshinyfuzzy]

I just got this foundation. The girl I was talking to at the store suggested applying it with your fingers because it warms up the product and will apply better. It seems to be working well.

[japanesedoll00]

hi pls try the kryolan hd foundation im loving it

[Lisasz09]

@japanesedoll00 I have never heard of that- where can you get it?

[MsKaeJay]

this is the best ur foundation has ever looked.

[ShopaholicWithNoCash]

I really want to try this foundation but I don't have anywhere that sells NARS near me, so my only option is to buy it off the internet. I'm NC25, any idea what colour I should go for?

Also, I saw a dramatic difference from the 1st review to the second, your skin looked so much better in the 2nd review! :0)

[Lisasz09]

@ShopaholicWithNoCash gosh i am not sure- it depends on your undertone- if you are a yeloow undertone I would say Punjab- since t hat is what I wear but if you are more pink I am not sure! Sorry!

[mons2010]

I have really oily skin, do you think this would stil work for me?x

[Lisasz09]

@mons2010 yes I am combo oily!

[Bebalon]

i havn't tried it yet but did you try using a damp sponge after applying the foundation?

[Lisasz09]

@Bebalon no I havent tried that- I will try it soon! Thanks for the tip!

[Savyeatsalot]

I got a sample from sephora...love how lightweight it is but I'm totally not in love with it especially for the price. Also, I was in the fitting room and I notice the makeup comes off too easily as I was trying on shirts! I will stick to my MUFE Mat =)

[MsAshleyCrim]

I've had a hell of a time finding my color match! They matched me as Cylan as well, and I ended up with Santa Fe which hopefully work out better. Punjab to yellow for me, I'm an NW20. Thanks for this video, people should be warned!

[elmo0127]

analemus - i would try the barcelona shade its a tad darker than punjab

[analemus]

Hi Lisa, I bought nars sheer glow about 2 weeks ago in the colour punjab and i do not like it. I feel like it doesn't go with my skin. I am a NC35 with mac products, what would you suggest me to exchange it for? I have heard so many good reviews and I want to like it but hmmm.....

[Lisasz09]

@analemus is it to light, to yellow, to pink or to dark? I am assuming it is not to dark- let me know and I will try n help! :o)

[veromiami]

@analemus Hi Analemus i am NW25 and my color is SAnta Fe the color that you picked is not right for you ! check santa Fe or the next one i think is Barcelona hope this helps !

[LinasOne]

Wow! i must say that this is the most beautiful haircut and color i have ever seen you in :)

[michibabe10]

Honestly, I did not fall in love with this foundation either. It is a nice product, but it kinda "slides" down my face and it never feels like it buffs all the way in my skin.

[ammurati]

Hi Lisa! Thanks for doing this review. I honestly thought I would like this foundation,BUT the first time I was color matched (Deauville) I knew it was just not right but the MUA insisted. It just looked ashy and super streaky! Anhow, I went to another store and the MUA color matched me (Fiji). It was better however it still streaks and does not look great. I am debating which color I should try next. Any suggestions?

[Lisasz09]

@ammurati I have also learned that this foundation is made to be applied with your fingers- it warms the product up and reduces the streaking- I am not sure if that will help but I hope it does! Good Luck!

[agniecha4791]

What colour for Chanel are you? I am also trying to match the perfect shade of Nars for me.

Best wishes from Poland

[Lisasz09]

@agniecha4791 I am 3.0 shell! :o)

[susu191068]

my first color was mont blanc and i hate it!! now i have deauville and - i love it!but,not the best foundation ever.i prefer the armani silk .for me the best foundation.

[winterhrts]

Thanks for the review! I really like this foundation but I find it to be a bit drying on me. I would love to try the Shiseido Sun Protection though! I know you don't have dry skin but is that one slightly less drying than this formula or just the opposite?

[Lisasz09]

yes the sheseido is not as drying! or Chanel pro lumiere is another great one!

[Lesliegilda]

The second product looks better. I love that foundation on you. You look totally different.

[StylzCrispy]

ur skin looks so great in this video. i love all ur videos and ur usual foundation but this one looks so natural and beautiful on u. i love it!

[fakingfrench]

i think it looks really good on you

[irammb]

great review, when i brought this foundation the MUA applied it with his fingers, he said to warm it up and then apply with your fingers and that this was the best way to apply this foundation for the best finish and he was absolutly correct, I have found that the foundation goes on brilliantly with my fingers rather than any sort of brush :) hope this helps

[waterisgood21]

have you tried applying the nars sheer glow with the sephora 55 airbrush? thats what i used and it goes on flawless. i honestly think the nars sheer glow looks best on you.

[Lisasz09]

I havent tried that yet! i will try it soon! Thanks!

[misscristina727]

yeah! im glad you like it bc thats my fav foundation and it work swell if you apply it with your fingers. im the same color, I was getting worried when I seen the first part of the video lol  im glad you gave it a second chance

[rosalia6119]

Can you please tell me what do you think of Bobby brown corrector i have somewhar dark cirlcles but I cant find anything that works, so now I thinking of the BB corrector. please help, thanks

[Lisasz09]

I love it- I do have a review on it also! :o)

[CandyLemonKiss]

You look stunning in this video! I love your hair.

What's your favorite foundation?

[Lisasz09]

I like the NARS, Chanel and Sheseido! :o)

[summersun024]

what would be a good powder to set this with? On the nars website they have a powder foundation. Would that work? Or a clinique one? I just need something that is more on the cheaper side. The nars powder is kind of expensive

[Lisasz09]

you dont need an expensive powder to set it- you can use anything you like. I use all different things! :o) The clinique one woull work fine!

[NiceGirl024]

You look so gorgeous in this foundation! Your skin is just extremely flawless and has a great glow!

[glitterxxit]

your skin looks so pretty and flawless in this video!

[aex3princess]

AHHH! your hair is AMAZING straight!

[kayce23]

Lisa--I've been wanting to try the sheer glow but I have combination/oily skin, right now it's a bit dry bc of the winter. On the website for NARS it says this foundation is best for normal to dry skin... do you recommend this product for my skin type over the Chanel Pro Lumiere?? Thanks :)

[Lisasz09]

I would say that this works on most skin types- i am normal/combo/oily and it works great- chanel is for a more noram to dry skintone!

[LoveBLENDnBeauty]

haha i was so sad that you didn't like this foundation and then i saw the 2nd part, haha! i was like noooo i love this foundation! =( hehehe ..

[madfabgab]

Same thing happened to me - I started out w/ Punjab, but ended up w/ Santa Fe. HUGE difference!

[arachnesweave]

I personally find this foundation applies like a dream with just my fingers. Sometimes less "tools" are better. Just my opinion. I love this foundation. For color reference I'm NC30 and Santa Fe is a perfect match for me. I finish it off with a little Prep + Prime translucent powder.

[glimmerrush96]

totally agree =) the fingers do make it look more flawless

[kimberlysue2287]

Hey Lisa, I hate to keep bothering you but I just noticed that you've been wearing the NARS primer alot, are you wearing the one in the white bottle or the one in the black? Also... are you going to do a review on it because I can't seem to find one from you about this product yet. Thank you!

[Lisasz09]

I have a sample if teh black one. I do have it on my list to review!

[cutevwbug]

Does it come with a pump now?

[Lisasz09]

nope not yet!

[LKerra1]

thanks for the review

looks like I'm gonna have to go get the product

btw you have really pretty eyes

[sxyblndeflirt]

I wish I knew why my comments are not posting half the time..Grrr!

Anyway..I wanted to ask you..............

Got Snow???

: )

[Lisasz09]

yes not much yet but it is starting to get worse- we are supposed to get the most through the night! :o(

[sxyblndeflirt]

Really? I thought you were suppose to of gotten a lot of the snow by now. ?.

For most of the day I thought we weren't going to get anything..But...umm...I changed my my mine now..LOL!

I blame the Groundhog!

: )

Kim

[Lisasz09]

They are calling for 2 inches per hour overnight! :o(

[sxyblndeflirt]

I know...Unbelievable!!!

I believe the amounts for my area were first said to be 6-10 inches. Now I believe it is anywhere up to 16 inches. Then we are suppose to have 30-35 mph winds tomorrow along with temps dropping..Ugggh & Brrrr. : )

Atleast I will get exersize shoveling..LOL! Then there is always Youtube (YAY) and right now I am making a huge pot of chicken corn noodle soup...so much for the exercize..LOL!!

But I will be cozy : )

[NaoiseLove]

you look absolutely stunning in the second part

[sonamlakhani1]

you are beautifullllll

[bubblegarms]

you look gorgeous - love the hair! great review! xx

[karen127123]

I am pretty much a liquid foundation virgin lol and I'm 24!! I just feel inadequate when applying it, and am afraid it will come out blotchy, etc!! I do have the Bobbi Brown Foundation and I had it applied at a Salon/Spa, and LOVED the finish, but now am afraid to try to re-create it at home! I have the complete Sigma Brush set so thats not an issue, just the technique!! Help lol. Great Videos btw!!

[missyl044]

I am a mua & and so when I read this comment I thought I could help. To apply your foundation use the ss187, start in the middle of your face and work your way out stippling it (tapping) on & then buffing it in on the outer edges of your face. Start off with a small amount of foundation & then build it up where it's needed. Lightly tap your face with your fingers if needed to work it into your skin, Also apply your concealer after the foundation so you avoid putting 2 much on.

[missyl044]

The SS190 works better for thicker foundation Like MUFE matte velvet+ or MAC studio sculpt foundation. So I would use the SS187 or buy Sigmas new flat top buffer brush. It's the brush I use everyday. You use it the same way as the 187 but after you stipple it on then you buff it into your shin and with that brush you cant go wrong. I do have a video here on YT showing how to apply foundation. I really hope this helps you. Have a great day =)

[Lisasz09]

looks like you have a great response below! I totally agree with her! :o)

[Lunes1996]

It's shiSeido, not Shisheido!

[sxyblndeflirt]

Lisa can you tell me if Vitalumeire shade cool beige (1.8) is close to your Prolumeire shell (1.5)?

thx

kim

I posted a question similiar to this but it never showed

[Lisasz09]

I am not sure I have never used the Vita one- I know that all the chanel ones run different! Sorry I wish I knew more!

[justineheartsmac]

hey do u like this foundation more or chanel pro lumiere? let me know..thanks..

[Lisasz09]

They are pretty equal in my book! :o) Chnel is more coverage and NARS is more dewey matte!

[redgrapeandchocolate]

(Out of context) Hi Lisa, I was hoping you could tell me weather you've ever tried Revlon Photo Ready foundation, and if so, what is your take on the product? If not, would there be a way to squeeze in a review? Thanx! I like what you do =)

[Lisasz09]

I am still running tests on it now! I do have it on my list to review!

[fashonjunkee]

Thanks soo much for this video, I have the same problem with this product and just like you I tried everything to make this product to work! Well Im off back to Nars to change colours!!!! thanks heaps!!!!!

[Thappy28]

omg your hair and skin look gorgeous in this picture!

[bubblegum404]

lush and bright is so nice! it looks really scary in the tube..

can you do a review on the lipgelees you already own?

i have moonstone, which i like. but are the other's just as good? thanks :)

[Lisasz09]

I do have that on my list to do! :o)

[hannahsunflower]

Im really really pale, MAC NC15 is to dark for me. I dont know what foundation to try, I also need high coverage! Do you have any suggestions. Ps you are really great and have a review on like evvvverything so helpful! xoxo

[Lisasz09]

The NARS Mont Blanc is supper pale and people who 15 doesnt work on love this color! :o)

[FrugalFashion]

Your hair is rocking in this vid.

[ShyGirlBeauty]

Great review! I'm like you...I love trying out different foundations and finding new ones that work for me :D The Punjab looks great on you!! Thanks for sharing this :D

<3 Sarabeth

[nadalroxxoxo41]

your vooice is soo cool! it reminds me of laurens from make it or break it! :)

[kimberlysue2287]

Thanks so much, Lisa. I'd say I'm normal to oily but only through the t-zone. I just always see Pixiwoo reaching for Pro Lumiere and Sam's the same skin color as I. I just know NARS is slightly cheaper, and I've heard great things on both. I think I'll try the NARS first because of price. Thank you for your help with color, too, I am really fair so I'll keep what you said in mind. Much appreciated, Lisa!

[Lisasz09]

let me know how it works for you!  I really love it!

[kimberlysue2287]

not sure if this is a response to my comment but I will definitely write back and let you know! Thank you, Lisa!

[kimberlysue2287]

Thanks Lisa, I think I'll try it. Do you think it's necessary to set it with powder? Also, does it run light or dark? In other words, if I'm debating on color, should I go for the lighter of the two or the darker of the two? Thanks for responding : ) such a thorough review on every product

[Lisasz09]

I dont think you need to set it with a powder unless you get oily. It is hard to say how it runs- I would say it looks darker in the container than on the skin. I hope this helps you!

[kimberlysue2287]

If I am debating on Chanel Pro Lumiere or Nars Sheer Glow, do you suggest Pro Lumiere?

[Lisasz09]

ohhh that is a hard one- what is your skin type first? if you are oil I would say the NARS if youa re dry I would say the Chanel!

[Lisasz09]

it is on my list to review!

[Lisasz09]

it is on my list to review!

[pinkgurl3533]

Hi Lisa, Just for reference, what shade foundation are you in MAC?

[Lisasz09]

I am a 30-35

[hannahj83]

In the second video, the foundation makes your skin look so beautiful! I'm so happy you like this foundation now:) It's definitely my favorite.

[dippers18]

you look gorgeous!

would you review the mufe foundation?

thanks x

[Lisasz09]

it is on my list to review!

[reganjanegray]

can you do a review on the mat velvet plus foundation from make up for ever?

[Lisasz09]

it is on my list to review!

[tonyacr]

Hey Lisa. what primer are you using? make sure that its water based because the product is water based... It will go on streaky if you are using a silicone based primer...it just gets too thick?? if you might say. use it with the nars primer and see what you think.... ;)

[Lisasz09]

thanks for the tip- I dont usually use silicone primers since they tend to break me out! :o(

[macyrae81]

Is smashbox a silicone primer? Also, Lisa what is your favorite primer? Thanks so much!!!

[Lisasz09]

@macyrae81 yes it is a silicone one- I am LOVING the sephora smoothing primer! :o)

[xoxmuchlove]

Hey lisa! What tinted moisturizer would you reccommend for the winter time? My face is combination! :)

[Lisasz09]

laura Mercier TM! :o)

[sethakins7]

i totally agree with this review! i kinda think sheer glow is a tad over-hyped

[Birkinbag09]

Its great that you added on the extra review at the end. Take care xx

[cserannie80]

i love my nars. It's really a light foundation. I have Mont Blanc.

[xpeacelovesarahx]

Thanks!

[freestylee19]

Does Punjab look good on Fair Skin?

[Lisasz09]

I am a NW30 in mac and a light color by them is a 15- so it depends on what color fair skin you have. You should get color matched!

[WinsomeTulip]

Great review! Thank you Lisa!

[iheartbeautynfashion]

you have amazing eyebrows....can you do a video on eyebrow grooming. Thanks

[MsCaligirl17]

Love your honest reviews and honest opinions. :-)

[Juicygirl961]

i use it with my hands... much better

[MascaraMania]

Is it full coverage?

[Lisasz09]

medium buildable!

[mademoiselletoffee]

normally how do u apply foundation? brush - which brush? or hands?

[Lisasz09]

normally I use a flat topped buffer brush!

[hippona]

I really like this foundation and Mont Blanc looks better on me than my old NW15

:)

[Puppysofia]

Thank you Lisa!!

[ayyad13]

i love your hair!

[emilieclarke]

Yah I'd like to try that.

I'm using Chanel Pro Lumiere and MAC Face and Body right now.

T is the best!

Great review! Thx

And following you on twitter.

[klotwig1]

SInce you are a foundation fan...have youever tried Estee Lauder Double Wear? I have tried Chanel, Dior, Lancome, MUFE. It is the only one for me.

[griff2020]

I totally agree! I use Estee Lauder Double Wear and it is just the best in my opinion. I just bought the Sheer Glow in Sante Fe and I like it and I'll definitely use it but it doesn't compare to Estee Lauder.

[Lisasz09]

I will have to give it a try!

[Lisasz09]

no I havent tried it yet!

[phenomenalgrl]

@Lisasz09 I agree with Kltwig and griff2020 Estee Lauder Double Wear is great but it has a white cast in photo's due to the high SPF in it. Their Double Wear light slightly less heavy and overall is insanely amazing! oh... and doesn't give the white cast.

[breathvictorian1]

Lisa! That foundation looks AMAZING on you!

[loveallabouteve]

What shade are you in Chanel now?

thx you so much .c

[Lisasz09]

I am shell #30

[loveallabouteve]

the Bobbi Brown SkinFoundation (in beige) .........is the best one for me!!! ;);)

[spitzmaus1979]

I have the foundation too. I am not sure I got the right colour match. I got Mont Blanc, the web page says it's for pink undertones. Although my face is naturally kinda red, I am more of a yellow tone. Not sure what to do.

In general I think it's a lovely product though. I love the finish, although I find it's a tat too easy to overdo it. The NARS girl said to apply with fingers but I don't like the finish and it waists product. I use an SS 187 and love the finish. I wish it longer lasting.

[bluflavorice]

@spitzmaus1979 I had a problem finding a color match also. Mont blanc worked for me only if I sheered it out with a very damp sponge. Otherwise its slightly too dark/pink. I also tried the shade lighter (Siberia), which was way too yellow. Bummer bc I really liked the finish this product gives but I return it due to color issues.

I'm a sad girl now :( lol

[pinkpowerranger808]

youre supposed to apply it with your fingers to warm it

[channelesque]

NARS makeup artist told me that this product was made to be applied with fingers; fingers are supposed to warm up and melt-blend this product. she also told me if i really want to use brush to apply, apply with fingers initially to warm up the product and use brush to blend out the rest:)

[susu191068]

please lisa-

say:shesaydo

not:shesheydo

P.S i love the shiseido to.

bad luck for me,i only can it wear only 4 weaks in the year during and after my summer vacation.

greetings from germany!

[Pescaicho]

Sie hat Shiseido richtig gesagt!

[hunnedfourthstreet]

i am punjab as well...the color match is pretty phenomenal where as shiseido's colors are too yellow =( although i love the color range for nars sheer glow..i hate it on my dry combo skin because no matter how much i moisturize the sheer glow just seems to accentuate those very dry areas.

[pradaholic91]

i love your hair like this!

[whitalisci0us]

What would be your recommendation out of the Nars Sheer Glow and the Chanel Prolumier?

[Lisasz09]

ohhh that is hard- they are very close for me- so it would depend which has the right color for you!

[TheCurrentCustom]

I would love to try the Shiseido foundation. I love the sheer glow.

[Lisasz09]

I sent you a DM on twitter about the sheseido!

[sxyblndeflirt]

Hi Lisa : )

What shade are you in Chanel now?

Thx

Kim

[Lisasz09]

i am #30 Shell
