Good, but not great- 11.11.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, smooth, pricey, nice scent
As someone with oily skin I've been actively seeking a foundation that doesn't make my problem worse. The YSL oil-free Matt Touch Foundation allows me to go hours without looking like I'm melting (unlike other foundations I've used in the past). Other reviewers have mentioned flaking but I've yet to experience that issue.
The downsides of this product are the lack of coverage and price. I could get past the price if the product was better but I have somewhat uneven skin tone (I have issues with redness due to previous and current acne problems) and I felt this foundation didn't solve my problem that much.
If you ALREADY have "good" skin I recommend this.

Wonderful, unique product- 11.09.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing
This foundation has a texture that resembles a gel, so it goes on lightly, blends easily and doesn't feel at all greasy or heavy on the skin. In fact it is weightless - yes somehow gives great coverage for my ruddiness and broken capillaries! I don't have any problems with flaking that other reviewers mention. Wears well and works beautifully!

Great Concept...Lacking in some areas- 10.21.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder, nice light fragrance
I bought this less than a week ago, I love the texture and matte finish it gives but today I noticed when I put it on that it did indeed flake off. I thought it was left over pieces of cotton from toning my face. But I didn't use a primer this time and I think I didn't use enough of the foundation so it didn't go on a smoothly. Also, I notice if you pick at your face before hand (which leaves cracks in the skin) this does amplify the uneven texture of your skin, but I find that with other foundations. So I am not deterred and will continue to find ways to make this foundation look the best it can. Overall it is a good mattifying foundation.

AMAZING!!!!!!!- 07.21.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing
I have very oily skin and have tried for 20 plus years to find a foundation that doesnt look cakey or oily on my face. Matt Touch was suggested to me by a makeup artist. She was soooo right. What lovely makeup. It has a light texture and gives good coverage. It does not oxide or make my face look cakey by the end of the day. Hallelujah, hallelujah!! Thanks YSL!!!!

Best Makeup- 07.20.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, mousse
I just bought this a few days ago and I love it. It has the consistancy of a mousse and it smells great. It sits so lightly on my skin, I think it is the best I have ever bought.

Comments from YSL Brand Ambassador- 06.09.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder
Hi everyone! I am the YSL Brand Ambassador and I am writing this review to comment on the topic of color that has been brought up by multiple reviews below.
To achieve the best result from a foundation, the right color for your skin tone is key. When choosing a color on-line, be sure to not only look at the color swatches but also to read the descriptions next to them.
For those with golden undertones, we have four different golden shades for you to choose from depending on your skin color. To enhance golden undertones, please take a look at our Teint Parfait, which enhances the complexion when applied under a foundation. Bronzer is also a great way to warm the complexion, especially in the summer!
Hope you continue to enjoy YSL products!

Matte Touch- 06.01.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing
This is a great foundation that doesn't look cakey or streaky. The "sand" color is terrific for fair/light skin; it adds just the right touch of color without looking too dark or orangey. The finish stays matte all day without looking dry.

Velvety smooth, controllable coverage- 05.09.09
Quick Take: long wearing
This is my favorite foundation! A little moisturizer and a dab of Matt Touch and I'm good to go. The coverage is light to medium depending how you apply. It stays put all day and blends SO smoothly. Its matte finish keeps me from shining in the T zone but doesn't dry out my normal areas. I'm a fair girl with a bit of a tan and Sand works out great.

Magic in a little tube- 03.29.09
Quick Take: oil-free, cream to powder
This foundation is absolutely amazing! I have very sensitive/complicated skin with large pores and a very oily t-zone and this foundation not only evens out your skin tone but shrinks the large pores and provides a mattifying effect with out over drying! Love it!

Yves St. Laurent Matt Touch Foundation Review- 03.17.09
Quick Take: oil-free
I've been looking for a matte foundation for several years now (that actually works) and I can finally say, I've found "the one". The silky texture of this foundation makes applying this a breeze. I like it that it's not heavy, that it fills in my pores, and stays put all day. I only have to touch up once a day. Once it sets, my complexion looks flawless (do note, that I brush a little bit of mineral powder over my face, too).

I love this foundation. It goes on silky and covers great. You can wear it for medium coverage or build to a heavier coverage. Goes on so smooth and makes you look flawless.
