Product: 
This is a matte build-able coverage liquid foundation but leaves a demi-matte finish to the skin. This one is wax based and has a more natural texture on the skin. I still find the need for a primer with this one as it does not smooth out the texture of your skin on its own but it doesn't emphasise it either. I also found it clung to dry patches but these areas are when that skin could be flaked off with gentle exploitation before apply foundation in the morning.

The right side of Face is the NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation in Ivory, Left side of Face left bare. Applied using my finger to work it in.

Coverage was good. I took out my redness and unevenness. My blemishes are fairly covered but still needs concealer to get rid of the last of the redness. My freckles are mostly gone as well on my right side.

Colour:
Ivory is a pale yellow/neutral nude.

Wear: I got 9 hours wear during the heat and humidity without fading. But I get 16+ hours once set with a powder and primer!

Packaging: A simple squeeze Tube.

Daylight swatch: NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation in Ivory, heavy and blended out.

Flash swatch: NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation in Ivory, heavy and blended out.

Verdict:
This is the ONLY drugstore foundation that matches me out of the bottle.... Hazzah! The formula is nice on dry skin as well so it lives up to the matte but not flat claims.
