Suddenly I Have Beautiful Skin
I was a fan of MUFE Mat Velvet, but I always felt it made me look too "made up". I was at Sephora to replenish my Mat Velvet, and, just for the heck of it, I squirted a bit of the Face & Body Makeup on the back of my hand. Many years ago I had tested the Face & Body Makeup, and all I remember is that in addition to most of the colors being pink-based, it had a texture that seemed to sit on every...read more groove, line, and pore on my skin. This initial test was many years ago, when Sephora first came to the US, but, based on this memory, I have a feeling the formula for Face & Body has changed since back then. This latest time when I tried it, it seemed to become part of my skin - as though it vanished - but my skin looked perfect; smooth, healthy, radiant. And that is how Face & Body has worked for me, every day since. I find shade #34 to be a perfect match year-round. This foundation blends with my skin, it doesn't cover it up, so it's more of an enhancer than a mask. Sunscreen is my nemesis when it comes to foundation, but Face & Body works beautifully over sunscreen. I find it to be most "flawless" when I apply it with a damp Beauty Blender sponge. If I'm not wearing sunscreen or anything else beneath it, I love the finish I get when applying this with fingertips. I never knew a foundation could possibly look to natural, and so much like real skin. And it's so easy to apply, and forgiving. You can't mess it up; it just seems like part of your skin. You can't even tell I'm wearing foundation with this makeup! There are parts of my face that I want to have more coverage than others, and I simply layer this foundation in those areas. It blends in like a dream, and you can't tell where there's more or less makeup. The finish is "natural", (especially because it seems to disappear). It leaves a very, very slight powder finish, but that can be blotted ot wiped off. This foundation is waterproof, and I think this is probably why it's also very good for oil-control. I do need to powder my nose, and do occasional touch-ups on my T-Zone, but I don't care. It looks like I'm powdering the nose of a face with nearly flawless, glowing skin. There are no streaks with this foundation, and it doesn't cake up, or glob up, or melt. It wears all day and all evening in all weather. This foundation is just about miraculous for the face, but it can also be used to mute bruises or smooth skin anywhere on the body. It stays put, and it looks like skin. This comes in a clear glass bottle, with a pump applicator. I pump it onto my sponge, and dot and blend it around my face; even my eyelids (for which it gives fantastic coverage). I've used other face and body makeup brands, including Visiora,and MAC, but Make Up For Ever is my very favorite.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 36 of 38 people said helpful

my new Holy Grail foundation !!!!
I'm sooooo Glad that i found the right one for my face. i've tried sooo many products from department store but nothing felt perfect for my skin. some ppl can feel it's so watery and doesn't look good on thier face. but for me, after long long jorney , i found the perfect one for me. it's so light , right after you apply it , it could be watery, but more you rub it gently on your skin, you can feel it's gorgeously absorbed to your skin. i love it . it last long for the rest of my day.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 9 of 9 people said helpful

After 3 years, I still love it
I had a makeover at Sephora a little over three years ago and the MA used this on me. I was a bit put off by the name and expected it to feel heavy and look sort of mask like. I could not have been more surprised when she was done. It is VERY natural and feels wonderful on. It is different from most foundations since it is a gel-based makeup. You need to shake the bottle really well and you need t...read moreo have a moisturizer on underneath. This tends to "set" quickly so keep that in mind. When you are done, you will have a beautiful finish that looks like your skin only better AND it is sweat and waterproof. The best out there!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 14 of 16 people said helpful

Lovely Sheer Buildable Coverage
I just bought this in Ivory 20 for my over 50+ Normal/combination skin and find it to be very natural-looking when applied. It looks and feels like my skin. It is sheer enough to replace a tinted moisturizer but can be applied for a bit more coverage, unlike the tinted moisturizers I've tried. No cakiness or settling into fine lines either. I apply it with a dampened sponge and the look is she...read moreer, even skin. I won't be without this stuff.

buildable coverage!
I'm very fair, with sensitive skin and usually have a hard time finding a foundation that doesn't leave my skin either oragey, pastey, dry or cakey. I am also between shades, and being a student I cant afford 2 bottles to mix and match the perfect tone. But this foundation matches my exact shade, and lets me build up coverage to cover my acne prone skin! It also doesn't clog my pores, but does nee...read mored to be set with powder to avoid the dewy look (I prefer matte).

Dewy!
If you are looking for a dewy look, this is perfect for you! This is great just to even out your skin tone. It's a gel consistency, so it's a bit different. I really like the look, but I like a bit more coverage than this. If you have great skin, this will be a perfect light foundation for you! I also love it on my arms and legs when I want them to look a bit more even.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 8 people said helpful

my favorite foundation
I discovered this foundation while living in New York City working in Television- the make-up artist on the shoot said this was the most long lasting natural foundation she ever had used and used it on all of her actresses.. well I went to the store in new york and they made me a special recipe of 2 different colors and I swear by this - it is quick dryng, light and so natural looking. Put it on with a special sponge form make-up forever.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful

my fav foundation
i have oily but dry flakey skin ( i get shiny fast), large pores and some pimples at times. essentially i have difficult skin, however this foundation is one of the best i've ever used , and i find that it leaves my skin looking pretty flawless in photos.
