NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint Review

https://youtu.be/SEUPmFk0ln0

So, here’s my NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint review. You can either watch me rambling about this foundation on my Youtube channel, or you can read all about this foundation in this review. I pretty much say the same thing on the video and this post, but probably I have a better train of thoughts on this post.

I do apologize if my video is a bit confusing or that I kept rambling, I’m still trying to get used to talking in front of a camera. Anyways, let’s get the review started!

NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint review

The NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint claims to be:

  • Oil free
  • Has a soft matte finish
  • Contains SPF30
  • Wears all-day
  • Has 12 shades
  • Contains blurring powder

In the shades of MAC, I’m usually in between NC25/NC30. For this NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint, I think Alaska is a good match for NC25. I did pick a sample of St. Moritz, but I realized that it was a bit too dark on me. I’d say NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint in Alaska is a match for MAC NC25, while I think the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint in St. Moritz might work for NC35/40.

My take on this foundation:

  • Great for combination to oily skin, especially in the Summer when we tend to get a bit more oilier.
  • Blurring technology is awesome, my pores definitely look smaller and in some area, my pores are not visible.
  • Not sure why they call it a skin tint when it has a lot of coverage, this is definitely a foundation.
  • Similar to the MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation in that the formula is not runny, it’s more like a gel-type foundation.
  • Definitely a medium coverage, not sheer at all. You can even build up layers to cover any redness and discoloration.
  • Very lightweight, doesn’t feel like I was wearing any foundation at all.
  • Quite pricy, CA$54 for 50mL.

My verdict:

  • I am in love with this foundation. Great foundation in general, and my skin looks amazing! Definitely keeping this one!
