NARS Velvet Matte Foundation Stick

Just in time for Fall 2017, NARS Cosmetics introduces its new complexion product, the Velvet Matte Foundation Stick! The latest innovation from NARS, which is also the brand’s first ever foundation stick, arrives in no less than 20 color options, so you can find your exact fit.

NARS Velvet Matte Foundation Stick features a foundation formula on one end, and a special latex-free removable Touch-Up Blender on the other. The portable stick-format makes it great for on-the-go correction, instant touch-ups or effortless contouring, but it can also be used for full-face perfection.

The formula is extremely soft, almost melting, and has the most comfortable velvety feel. It’s very easy to apply, and yet it offers buildable, incredible coverage that doesn’t dry, streak, or leave a chalky finish. You can blend it with your fingers, with a brush, or with that special Touch-up Blender that moves the foundation across the skin to create a beautiful soft matte effect.

The washable, anti-bacterial blender is also removable, so you can also detach it and use to get into those hard-to-reach areas. This versatile foundation can also be used for contouring and adding dimension to the face. To create a fully sculpted look, pick a shade that is a few shades darker than your skin tone, and blend it underneath your cheekbone, brow bone, and jawline – anywhere where light recedes.
