Review: Nars - Velvet Matte Skin Tint
The Nars Sheer Glow foundation is my all-time favourite base product so when I heard of this foundation its safe to say I had pretty high expectations. The product itself sounds ideal for me because my skin is oily at the moment and this foundation is designed to have a matte finish. If you would like to know how I feel about it then please keep reading.
I like to apply my foundation with a beauty blender instead of a brush because I find it gives a more flawless finish. However, even when I used my sponge to apply this product I could not make it have a flawless or natural look to the skin. I found it quite hard to build up on areas of my face where I wanted more coverage. Whenever I applied more product it just gave a more cakey appearance and looked far too heavy on the skin. I also found that the more product you apply the more it separates and just looks a mess.
Another problem I found with this foundation is that it really doesn't last long on my skin at all. It's marketed as a pretty long wearing foundation but personally it doesn't last long on my skin at all. Around the edges of my nose it started to crack and made my skin look really dry and gross. Even when using both a primer and setting spray this foundation still ends up breaking up and separating on my skin by the end of the day and I hate the way it looks.
I also found this foundation to be really hard to blend. I tried it out with both a buffing brush and beauty blender and I preferred the finish with the beauty blender. Although it was easier to blend out with a brush, it didn't give a very full coverage this way. However, with the beauty blender it had a much nicer finish but it took much longer to blend out.
Unfortunately, this foundation didn't lead up to my expectations and I will not be repurchasing it in the future. So, overall I would not encourage you to go out and try this foundation. For the price you pay I do not think the product is worth the money at all. I would reccommend you try out the Nars Sheer Glow, that foundation is just so gorgeous and a much better alternative in my opinion!
Thanks for reading,
