The Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint

Spring is now upon us and that means one thing; lighter bases. As a sufferer of dry skin, I like to adopt a 'less is more' approach when it comes to foundations and tinted moisturisers, as I find this avoids the dreaded dry patches. When the Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint was released I was extremely excited, but as it had matte in the title I was sceptical that it would make my lacklustre skin appear duller. Despite this, I have been trialling it for several weeks and have been loving it, so today I thought I would share with you my thoughts. 

With a soft focus finish, this offering disguises blemishes and uneven skin tone, whilst appearing natural and flawless on the skin. Although it's marketed as a tint, I would describe it more as a light foundation which delivers buildable coverage with minimal effort. I like to apply a thick layer of moisturiser followed by my Too Faced Hangover Primer to ensure that my base is nourished and hydrated as I find that it can be a little drying, though nothing that a little moisture can't fix. 

I personally like applying this base with my fingers and then go in with my Beauty Blender to make sure that everything is blended. If you're after a lightweight, flawless base that will mattify, yet allow your skin's natural glow to come through then this is one to try.
