MAKE UP FOR EVER
Mat velvet matifying foundation
$42CAD
No.15 Alabaster
Porcelain skin with pink undertones

Let me start off by saying I am white, like casper's twin kinda white in the winter months. This is my perfect shade and the coverage is great.

I generally don't have problem skin but some naturally rosy cheeks and freckles. This coverage is definitely build able, but one pass is usually all I need to look natural and have enough coverage to even out my skin tone at the same time.

I have dry skin so I moisturize and prime like a mother - ahem, before putting this on and skip the powder afterwards.

Offers full coverage and keeps my shine at bay for hours. Although its pricey, a little goes a long way.

Best foundation I have ever used! Covers scars, blemishes & redness. Very good coverage. I do have sensitive skin & this doesn't cause breakouts. Stays on all day. Matches my skin tone perfectly. I just use 1 layer. It gives a natural look not cakey.

Great product
Beautiful coverage

I purchased this product for the first time almost 3 years ago now and used it every day until I purchased the Make Up Forever high coverage concealer. Again I love Make Up Forever's products because they cater to the fair skinned. I use No. 15 Alabaster and it blends well with my natural colouring. Depending on how you decide to apply this foundation is where it comes down to how much you'll enjoy it. I have tried using my fingers, a sponge and a foundation brush. I find that using your hands and a brush are two of the best ways I found the sponge technique left lines on my face. This product is oil proof and water resistant. It lasts all or most of the day, you don't have to use a lot as it is a full coverage foundation.

For reference, I am in the shade 60 Honey Beige.


I personally use this throughout the summer because of it's mattifying effect.Sometimes it can go a little red on me, but because I vacation in FL, i'd take that over an oily face!

This product runs about $40 at Sephora and although it is pricey, it is worth EVERY penny.

Once after you apply concealer, this foundation goes on very smoothly

CAUTION: it DOES get thick and cakey, so work fast and try to put as little as possible on it while getting the coverage you desire.


Overall, I love this foundation! It stays on all day lasts through hot humid days, and I would return to this every summer.




**Note: I was not paid for this review. I paid for this item with my own money.**

On my quest for the best mattifying products, I was recommended this by a consultant at Sephora.
Wow was I disappointed.
I used to have a lot of acne so I have a lot of acne scars on my face. This did not cover very well, even after trying to layer it on (as the consultant told me I can do for more coverage), my acne scars are still very visible. It did not keep my face matte for very long and within a few hours I had to blot my face. Even though I set it with a powder, I did not find the foundation to be mattifying at all.
I had higher expectations for it since I was told that this is a popular product for oily skin and how it works well, blah blah blah... Again, I was disappointed.
From reading some other reviews it seems like other people like this product and has worked for them but just didn't do anything for me. The quest continues.

To start off: I have combination, oily, sensitive acne-prone skin with hyperpigmentations

I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION - HG STATUS! I like to invest in foundations because i am an acne/scars suffer. I need a foundation that covers scar, imperfection, large pores, and lasts all day and this foundation does just that. The best part is it doesn't break me out!! I've tried many high-end foundations and they just all clogged my pores. As well, MUFE carries a somehow neutral/yellowish based tones in their line that's very uncommon in drugstores. This is a medium-full coverage foundation, it has a matte finish but natural (don't expect a natural glow look from this), excellent oil control. i can count on this foundation to last all day and i dont have to worry about blotting or touch up, love love love it.

I purchased it from sephora for $34. It is on the pricey side but for all the benefit it gives me, im sold!

This foundation is ah-mazing!

There are not enough good things that I can say about this foundation. I have combination oily skin and many foundations dry out my dry spots and make my oily spots e ven oilier. This foundation is perfect in making my skin look flawless and not oily nor dry. It makes my skin look covered and perfect! Although the consistency is thicker than its sister MUFE HD foundation, I rather enjoy it. Especially for summer or if you perspire a lot, this foundation really mattfies without drying skin out.

Even though it is a bit on the pricier side a little bit goes a long way and it is well worth it!

I don't wear make-up often. My skin routine goes like this: wash face, moisturize face, conceal, and powder. I do not use eye stuff unless I need to go out on a date or on a night on the town with friends. I have very nice skin, so I don't feel the need to cover it up needlessly. However, I bought this powder with my makeup savvy friend who convinced me to try it. The coverage is good and covers my red cheeks enough so I don't look like I just ran a mile. I like that I don't need to use a lot and still look flawless afterwards!
