Amazing foundation - 01.05.09
What a great foundation. It really only takes a tiny bit to cover your face and you can also layer for more coverage. It never looks caked on or heavy and blends very well. I still love the MUFE HD foundation but this one is just as awesome. I never get oily during the day and it never wears off. All in all, a fantastic product!

LOVE THIS - 01.05.09
Quick Take: oil absorbing

If you are oily and you shine...but not in that good way...you will be sooo glad you tried this. It is a heavier coverage, but a little goes a long way, so you have some control over that. I had tried EVERYTHING...

Quick Take: can be added in small amounts and does wonders

I am beautiful, but have a little discoloration on my face. This foundation has brought the true me out. In pictures, in person up close and kissable.. I think I am in love all over again.

best foundation ever - 01.03.09
Quick Take: moisturizing

It lasts, provides soft coverage without ever looking fake. You only need a small amount and the color is true. It is a phenomenal product and well worth the money. The best foundation I have ever found.

MATTE - 01.01.09
Quick Take: moisturizing, gorgeous, fresh

beautiful! I just now put on this product and I have never used liquid foundation before just powders and this is perfect for me because sometimes my skin is oily and this foundation gives me a matte and satin finish! We will see how it does my first week using it! hopefully it will fill all of my expectations! We will have to see!

Never looks cakey. Has good coverage, works fine as a normal foundation or if you need to build it up for more coverage.

Only use if you don't have dry skin - 12.30.08
Quick Take: long wearing

My cheeks are dry, and this makeup settled into my skin creating roadmaps. It accentuated my small wrinkles, making them huge. It did ok on my nose and chin though, which tends to be oily. Guess they should have mentioned the dryness part in the store. I did return this product.

Perfection - 12.30.08
I love this foundation. It goes on with a powdery finish, but it doesn't flake or look dry at all. That could also be a result of my moisturizer as well, but I am thrilled with the results. It goes on perfectly smooth and mat and the warm ivory color is perfect for my fair redheaded skin tone. I still get shiny at the day's end, but I don't think any foundation in the world will prevent you from producing oil, so blotting sheets are still always a must. I would recommend this product for anyone looking to try a mat foundation. The price cannot be beat.

All or nothing - 12.30.08
I normally only wear sheer cover powder, but if I am going out sometimes I will use this foundation as well. However, I have to use a lot of it to get the smooth look I want. Otherwise, it just looks streaky and highlights any dry skin, usually on my nose. But in large doses good for special occasions when you want to look flawless.
Note: I have fair, but not pale, skin- and I use alabaster, the lightest shade available.

Mat Velvet + is a BigPlus - 12.23.08
Quick Take: definitely for those with oily skin.

Excellent foundation. Perfect color match. You only need a little. It's worth the cost.

Disappointment - 12.23.08
Quick Take: a failure

I was very excited to receive this hyped foundation. But distraught to find that it doesn't work on my "normal" skin. It gathers as any flaw and amplifies it, and about 20 minutes into wearing it started to separate on my nose. It took a lot of constant up-keep to maintain a decent look. It can also be very mask like and made-up looking. I suppose it has good coverage despite its plethora of flaws.

Quick Take: moisturizing, natural looking, enhancing

LOVE this product. helped keep a matte, porcelain-like finish through the whole day. i tend to get a lot of shine later in the day; this product needed minimal touch up, and looked great even in pictures with flash. looked very natural and smooth. i plan on using it for my wedding makeup.

The BEST! - 12.23.08
This is by far the best foundation I've ever used...and I've tried many! This foundation is perfect for oily skin...it will never dry your skin out...it just controls the oil and keeps your face looking absolutley flawless. I've been using it for over a year and plan on using it many more!

I like this foundation because it goes on nice and even and it lasts pretty much all day. I ordered mine online, but had to go to the store to exchange it for a better color, which was no problem at all.

WOW for Oily Skin - 12.21.08
I love this foundation! I have very oily skin and usually need to apply powder by 10:00 am. I combine this foundation with another foundation and only begin to show oil by the end of the work day. This foundation applies very dry on its own so I do combine it with another one but the outcome is wonderful.
