    This is one of the best foundations I've used. It is a bit expensive but a little goes a long way. The coverage is excellent without feeling heavy. It smooths the skin and doesn't get caught in wrinkles! I've received many compliments on my face while wearing it.

    I would not typically spend so much on makeup, but this product is great - I use it on a daily basis. It applies smoothly and lasts fairly long. It's a high-end brand, so that is to be expected from their products. I was not disappointed.

    This is the most I have ever spent on a foundation $47.00 CAD was it worth it, I am not too sure if I were to compare it to my current love the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation it would not be able to compete but as a high end foundation it was effective. It provided full coverage, matte finish but I found it make my skin look dry or lack luster don't get me wrong it is a decent foundation but I feel it is a more suitable foundation for spring/fall when the weather is not too hot but not too cold. I will test this foundation again in the summer to see what result I have then make another review to tell you my opinion.

    My go-to foundation. Very mattifying, so it's great for people with oily skin, or for those who like a matte look to their make up.

    This is a great matte foundation. It dries to a true velvet finish. It keeps my extremely oily skin matte for 4 hours. The coverage is medium-full. They offer a great color range too.

    This broke me out the first and second time I used it, then a few more times and it just made my skin itchy so I returned it to Sephora.

    Amazing foundation! Water based, so it's perfect for oily skin. Lasts all day, excellent coverage.I don't even need to use setting powder for it. It is $42 CAD, so it's a little pricey if your not used to spending a lot of money on make up. A little bit goes a long way though! Worth the money if you're in the market for a good foundation for oily skin :)

    I love Mat Velvet by Makeup Forever, it's a great full coverage foundation. It's a bit pricey if you are used to buying makeup at a big box retailer or drugstore, but the pigmentation is stronger so you don't have to use as much making it last longer. If you have anything you want to cover this will surely cover it, I also use their concealer in areas I need a bit more coverage. I work outdoors a lot and this is one of the few foundations that can hold up even in heat and humidity.

    Sometimes my face is an oil-slick, especially paired with glasses. It's always sliding down no matter what makeup I use or primer I put on beforehand. This product made my skin look matte and even after a few hours it still held it's power. I had to blot a max of 2 times for a 12 hour day which is pretty good in my books. I definitely recommend this product. I just wish the price was a little cheaper but a little goes a long way.
