    Airy Touch, Particles Galore

    by Starluxe (300 reviews)
    Top 100 ReviewerTrusted Review
    This foundation is highly compared to MAC Studio Fix Powder. While it is air soft to the touch, it can be messy when used with a powder brush because the particles are so finely milled; therefore, it may get on your clothing. This is long lasting but it may also be a bit much when over applied which isn't hard to do since... even a powder brush can pick up so much product. The case isn't very impressive, the high gloss finish makes it hard to keep it looking new because of the fingerprints that adhere to the surface and any trace of dirt dulls the finish. It comes with a latex sponge applicator but I find that this will apply it unevenly or too richly that the face will form a mask when used to apply. To avoid this, simply pat the latex gently onto the surface of the pan and pat the face around, applying a sheer laying of powder and without refilling the sponge, buff it onto the face to smooth out the texture. I believe the price for this is a bit steep because I found that this powder will not last as long as the foundation formulas because many particles stray away from it when used and also because it's a foundation that begins as a sheer finish to a buildable matte full coverage but mind you, too much of this product will thicken with oils after a few hours so a blot powder will be highly recommended or a blot film. The colors are a bit odd, I find that they do oxidize quite a bit because I bought a color that was quite light on my skin and after setting past an hour, it blended perfectly into my skin. Typically, many foundations do oxidize but I found this has shifted colors drastically compared to others I've tried. This isn't skin irritating like the Studio Fix powder as some people claim. Overall, it's a decent keeper. May 1, 2008, 5:15 am

    Not What I Hoped It Would Be

    by IrishJane (135 reviews)
    Top 100 ReviewerTrusted Review
    When I purchased this foundation I thought it would be good for my oily skin. While it did provide coverage it wasnt the same as a liquid foundation or concealer. What most disappointed me was the fact that it did little to nothing for oil control. Touch ups can lead to extreme cakiness and streaking. The sales associate to...ld me that this was a good powder to use over foundation to control oil. I can attest to the fact that it is NOT. This led to even more cakiness and darkening of the colour once the skin oils broke through. Probably would work on normal skin or skin that has little problems with oil. But oily skin beware.

    Good

    by BottleBrunette (2 reviews)
    I use this powder foundation with a brush and i get good coverage. It works as well as everything else without being powdery. I've used Lancome Dual Finish Powder Foundation, Lancome Ageless Minerale, Mac Studio Fix, Sephora Mineral Compact Foundation, BE, and other good ones. The quality of this makeup is very good and pro...bably comparable to Lancome. It works better with either a primer or a finishing powder. I've tried it several ways and it definitely works better.

    Best i've used so far

    by b0ricubana (1 review)
    MUFE's Duo Mat is the ideal powder if u want great coverage and a really natural look. It's buildable and I always find a shade to match my skin tone whether it's winter when I'm the palest or summer with a great tan. The only downside to this powder is that i noticed it doesn't help with my oily T-zone, and i do have to re...apply, but all in all it's a great powder for every day use. April 19, 2009, 1:10 pm

    I love this!

    by pcherko (5 reviews)
    This is by far the best powder foundation. It gives great coverage and is not cakey. I used their lighter tones for my pale skin and it perfectly blends on my face. I like using it with a big powder brush, but it also applies well with the sponge applicator. July 10, 2008, 9:22 pm

    Good product

    by skincarejunkie (3 reviews)
    I don't wear foundation on a daily basis, but when I do I apply a tinted moisturizer and MUFE's duo mat powder foundation. I have oily skin and the combo of the 2 works well without feeling heavy on my face. February 23, 2008, 2:18 pm

    by kristina11 (3 reviews)
    I don't really use a lot of foundation, but this powder worked well on my skin. It didn't look like i was wearing make up which is a big plus. January 30, 2008, 11:55 am

  • Directions

  • Always apply dry (do not wet the sponge or brush). -Apply a maximum of one or two layers to the whole face with the sponge. -Apply a single, lighter layer around the eyes (too much will accentuate fine lines). -For an ultra-sheer result, apply with a powder brush.
