Maybe hg
addkg777 (229 reviews)
I've been looking for a foundation or concealer to use just on trouble spots that will last all day, cover everything, not make me break out and look natural. So far this fits the bill. I can't say if it will break me out or not though because I just got it but I'll update. You have to work in sections as once it's dry, it's not going anywhere. — 2 weeks, 6 days agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Has Pros and Cons
EireItalia (271 reviews)
This is a good coverage foundation in most aspects. When used sparingly it is not too heavy. The downside is that oily break-through will occur if you have particularly oily skin. The application of powder on top of the foundation to take away shine can cause cakiness and result in a heavy looking coverage. Blotting papers can help somewhat but the product will not look freshly applied due to the oiliness and uneveness in colour can occur. Normal to slightly oily skin should have no problem. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 8 people said helpful

Photoshoot Staple
Starluxe (298 reviews)
I've read quite a few reviews about this being a heavy foundation which isn't necessarily true if it used over a moisturizer. It may accentuate dry flakes if the skin isn't well hydrated but if the skin has been nourished pre-application, this gives a very flawless finish. I dislike the fact that after twisting off the cap, you get this squeeze tip that may leak because of the pressure build up from shaking this foundation. The bottle is quite thin but I like that it's plastic so that if it gets knocked off a counter somehow, it'll hold it's form. The benefit about this foundation is that I can highly recommend for the spotlight or camera ready people. This appears flawless and has an airbrush effect on photos and it doesn't wash out it's own color when reflected to bright lights. I know many women complain about their photos looking a bit pale because of the contents of their foundation. The best way to apply this is to start with a very thin layer of foundation, let it set and if you believe you need more coverage, repeat the process. Applying a clump of foundation all at once will cause the "cakey" effects and may even leave streaks of color in your face. Which is another tip I have to add, please buff this with setting powder because it may look a bit uneven when not blended thoroughly but buffing it out smoothens the look of pores and uneven color or texture. I've actually used this for three months and it's comparison is the MAC Studio Fix Fluid. The con of this product is the color selection, I know of many women who need more pink undertones or more yellow to olive undertones and this foundation is more neutral, somewhere in between so there has been quite a number that hasn't found the perfect shade yet. For the heavy price tags comes a reward; this will last quite a while. You need just a small pea size amount to give the facial area a good coverage and another for full coverage. The quality of this makeup is superb especially because it has been engineered by Dany Sanz, a french makeup artist herself and actually uses this on her clients. I also like that this makeup isn't hyped up in the moment to endorse itself like other major cosmetic companies but yet this is still popular which proves that this can live up to it's own potential without heavy marketing and media influence; it sells itself. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 17 of 22 people said helpful

I'd heard so many great reviews about this foundation but when I tried it I found it too hard to work with and the coverage wasn't as "full" as it was said to be. — 2 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great for oily skin types
MakeupAddict23 (7 reviews)
I received the MUFE HD Foundation set as a gift, but I slowly realized it was not that great for people with oily skin. I tried a sample of the Mat Velvet and it's amazing. The coverage is great and it really gives the matte look I like. I use a mineral powder blush to apply this foundation, so that it's easier to buff. The only reason why I wouldn't give this 10 stars, is because it doesn't match my skin tone exactly. It's barely noticeable to others, but I notice it. — 3 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love it
Jaylee217 (4 reviews)
Since the product itself if matte I like to use a silicone based primer beforehand. As a result I get more out of less product. I found that I didn't even have to wear concealer it's a truly full coverage foundation. I followed with a light sweep of powder and then finishing powder although I'm sure some will find its not necessary. It lasted about 5 hours before starting to look a tad oily but a quick sweep of powder fixes it right up. — 4 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Perfect for summer months
Nikmo (21 reviews)
This is perfect for summer months! It gives your skin a matte finish. I have combination skin n this really helps to keep the grease at bay in hot n humid Florida. I just feel you may be better off not using it on or around your eyes since most of us need more hydration there. — 7 months, 4 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
