Is there a better foundation than Nars sheer glow?

I need new foundation and have been using nars sheer glow for a few years now and I do really like it, but I'm wondering if anyone who has already used Nars has found anything better for a dewy look?

I like a decent amount of coverage, not too heavy but not light either. I do find sheer glow good for this. And I have dry skin.

Is it possible to get testers?

Was also a big fan of sheer glow - my current favourite is Nars light reflecting foundation. Not the fullest of coverage but I guess it could be built up.

Sculpted by Amy Tint and Glow is fabulous. I'm 46 with oily skin and this still works great for me

Nars Light Reflecting

I’ve swapped from Nars Sheer Glow to this https://www.lauramercier.co.uk/products/real-flawless
it feels very smooth and silky in comparison.

Thanks for all the replies.

Could you kindly tell me how would you say the coverage differs from Sheer glow? And does it give "the glow"? 😄

Thanks, from what I have read the coverage of Nars light reflecting isn't as great.. I wonder if I could mix the two!?! I do love the coverage of Nars Sheer Glow. But I just wish it was a little bit more dewy looking.

I have both and Light reflecting is definitely glowy but thinner consistency & slightly less coverage than SG. I really like it for daytime as it looks really natural and photographs well (have worn to daytime events and holds up well with powder & setting spray) but think SG looks a bit more done so good for nights out/nighttime events. Love both but be aware light reflecting runs darker and warmer than SG. I have Fiji in both and the light reflecting is definitely darker and warmer and oxidises a bit versus SG so you might want to go down a shade.

Thanks for that. I think the light reflecting one sounds lovely, but I think I'd need slightly heavier coverage. I'll maybe see if the Laura mercier one mentioned has samples. I doubt if I'd get to a makeup stand anytime soon for a trial with it.

Dior forever glow or forever nude

it cosmetics cc cream.
Its name is totally misleading. Good coverage and very dry finish. I prefer it to NARS sheer glow

It Cosmetics CC Cream is what I swapped out NSG for.

I didn't really like the light reflecting, and couldn't get a colour match. Sheer Glow is a classic imho. If you want more dewy, how about the Hourglass illuminating skin tint? It's marketed as though it was a tinted moisturiser but it's medium coverage. Especially applied with a damp beauty blender it's nice and dewy.
