When you want long-lasting coverage and a matte finish, forget about foundations that dry out your skin or make your complexion look dull and flat. From NARS comes Velvet Matte Skin Tint SPF30/PA+++ ($70 for 50ml), an oil-free formula that boasts shine-control properties while blurring imperfections and giving skin a fresh, natural look and feel. 

The all-in-one skin tint uses an innovative Velvet Illusion Complex technology to create a soft-focus effect with a soft-touch feel. Transparent Blurring Powders blur imperfections and even out your skin tone, resulting in a soft matte finish that does not look masked or cakey. 

As you blend the sheer-to-medium-coverage formula into your skin, you will notice that it feels velvety-smooth. This is thanks to the unique spherical shape of the Transparent Blurring Powders. Rose Fruit Extract minimises the look of pores and controls shine. The tint, available in nine shades, is your quick on-the-go foundation for all-day sun protection and perfection
