Nars Natural Radiant LongWear Foundation on Medium Brown Skin

It seems like I’ve been trying more and more foundations as of late. This past year I was solely using one brand, then with the launch of the Fenty line, I was excited to get out there and try something else for a change, especially since it had 40 shades to choose from. Unfortunately, for me, the Fenty Pro Filter foundation didn’t do well with my skin ( trust me I tried several times) and I moved on to another brand, Huda Beauty, that I absolutely love.

Nars Velvet Matte Foundation Stick Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

Nars Velvet Matte Foundation Stick Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

This is the second time I’ve stumbled across a foundation that’s made me completely snub my previous holy grail. Got Oily Skin? Need Buildable Coverage? Need to touch up on the Go? Want to be able to Blend without searching for your beauty blender? Then this Nars Velvet Matte Foundation Stick is perfect! Nars has blessed us with many cult favorite foundations, but this is the first Foundation Stick to be released by the brand. The Nars Velvet Matte Foundation stick retails for $45 and comes in 20 shades, and I received four to test for myself.   One of the…
