Why We're Feelin' It

(wearing Cocoa)

NYX did an amazing job collaborating with Beauty Creator Alissa Ashley on this foundation! The shade range is amazing and it is only $15! This foundation formula is matte with a capital M! It will be a dream for those with oily/combo skin types. TBH I don't know if this foundation will last 24 hours .. but I know it will probably last you all day! If you have a more normal/dry skin type, I would suggest that you use a hydrating primer, and you should be all set. Note that this foundation takes a few to dry down to its true color - in the swatches above there are wet/unblended swatches on the left and dry/blended swatches on the right.
