BLEND THE RULES
Matte maker. Rule breaker. Look changer. Introducing the first foundation stick with a built-in, removable Touch-Up Blender designed exclusively to be used with the Velvet Matte Foundation Stick. This all-in-one pro tool and foundation stick can be used for all-over coverage or touch-ups on-the-go. Its soft-matte finish and creamy, blendable texture layer easily for medium-buildable coverage. It can be applied multiple ways: with fingertips, directly from the stick or with the removable Touch-Up Blender, to create various effects.
Uniquely latex-free, the multi-purpose Touch-Up Blender makes artistry effortless with a simple, waterless application. The perfecting effects are right at your fingertips: apply directly to skin from the stick to layer and build allover coverage. Blend in with fingertips, or use the Touch-Up Blender to stipple on and buff targeted areas of the face. The result: instantly smooth, comfortable, soft-matte perfection that doesn’t dry, streak, or look cakey. Stick it to the rules.

Great product let down by packaging
Syracuse is the best colour match I’ve ever had, the product is a velvet matte finish which lasts all day and very natural looking. However I was disappointed by the amount of product you get for the money- half of the tube is taken up by a sponge applicator which I doubt many people will use. I wasn’t aware of this, it’s unnecessary waste of packaging and is very dated in today’s climate. I wouldn’t buy again as the value for money is better elsewhere.

Great but not perfect
I really like the natural finish it gives to skin but after 4 to 5 hours it starts to look greasy.

Keep it in the line
This is the the best foundation I’ve ever used. I have combination sensitive skin and I’ve always been envious of people who have found the perfect foundation for them until I found this. It’s smooth and looks beautiful and natural. I use Santa Fe and it’s the perfect color. Please keep it in the line!

My holy grail foundation, PLZ DONT DISCONTINUE!
When I started using this product a few years ago, I knew I had found THE foundation. The colour (Barcelona) and the matte formula made my combination skin flawless. It’s my absolute favourite and I’m so disappointed to hear that it’s being discontinued. I have tried the other Nars foundations as well as a handful of other brands and nothing compares.
PLEASE BRING THIS BACK :(

Please bring this back!
I searched forever for the perfect foundation and I finally found it in the Velvet Matte Foundation Stick in Deauville. There are so few options for light olive skin and this was a perfect match. It is creamy and goes on like a dream! This was set to be my forever product. Please, please bring this back!
