Yet another foundation sample that has enough product to cover my entire face?! Thank goodness! Today, I am testing out the @narsissist Velvet Matte Foundation Stick ($45 for .31 ounces on @narsissistโs website – https://shopstyle.it/l/7Syo).
What it claims:
๐ Medium, buildable coverage
๐ Soft matte finish
๐ All skin types
๐ Oil-free
๐ Fragrance-free
๐ Sweat-resistant formula
๐ For all skin tones
๐ Long-wearing
My experience:
๐๐ป I find it odd that I received this sample fairly recently because, in my search for a price, I realize it has been discontinued.
๐๐ป When it was available, it only came in 20 shades and the range appears to have been pretty unbalanced.
๐๐ป I used the lightest sample shade, Deauville Light 4 (light with a neutral balance of pink and yellow undertones), and it worked well enough with my skin tone.
๐๐ป It blended out easily and worked well with all of the products I layered on top.
๐๐ป๐๐ป I was a bit oily around halfway through my day and it continued to get progressively more so, so I applied a bit more powder on and around my nose.
๐๐ป It started wearing off on my chin near the end of my work day (around eight (8) hours in).
My verdict?
Thank goodness this wasn’t the greatest foundation I had ever tested because, if it had been, I wouldn’t be able to purchase it! Now, if the claims sound like a foundation that would work perfectly for you, it looks like you can still find it on some sale websites and you may even come across it at a discount retailer. However, if you aren’t wowed like I wasn’t wowed, you can add this to your pass list.
What is your current favorite foundation?
