It is easy to build up from medium to full coverage with this foundation without it looking cakey or feeling heavy on the skin. To cover all that requries a FULL COVERAGE, no less. I love that the Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation provides enough coverage to cover up my acne scars, dark spots, and redness on the cheeks and nose area. That's quite unusual since my face typically oxidizes more than the hand! Gah! Maybe 20 might look too light on my face - I'll have to go swatch it! 25 - Warm Ivory looks a little on the pink side. LOL! It blends into my face really well, but oxidizes on my hand into a slightly orange hue. I think 30 looks a little dark on me sometimes even though it is obvious only to me. I might want to see if a shade lighter, maybe 20 - Ivory, works.
MUFE Mat Velvet + 30 Porcelain for MAC NC 20-25 shade And 30 I got in spite of the Sephora MUA insisting that 35 works for me. I was most sure that 30 – Porcelain would fit me best. I always believe getting the right foundation shade is of utmost importance so I do intensive research on a certain product online first before going out to swatch it at the store. Why do MUAs like to give me the wrong foundation shade? Do I look odd or something? Like they see a different shade of me that I don’t see under their store lightings? Sometimes I find the lighting in Sephora stores a bit off.
I was matched 35 – Vanilla by the MUA at Sephora. MUFE provides a wide variety of foundation shades, so color matching is much easier than for brands that only come up with like, 4 shades. Make Up For Ever- Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation Shades for NC 20-25 =.=Īnother issue I have with the packaging is that I can’t see how much product is left in the bottle because the rubber bottle is so opaque.īut these are 2 minor irritations that don't affect how much I love this product. One thing I don’t like about the packaging is that there is no indication of the foundation shade on the bottle at all! Only on the BOX. With open-top bottles like the Revlon Colorstay, much product is often wasted because I tend to over-pour. I like that the MUFE Mat Velvet + foundation comes in a plastic squeezy bottle with a nozzle at the top - it makes controlling the amount of foundation squeezed out much easier. The MUFE foundation bottle is so light I thought it had less content than the other brands! But nope, they all contain 30ml. Think easily breakable glass bottles like Revlon Colorstay Foundation and Lancome Maqui Blanc Miracle Foundation. Packed in a lightweight, frosted, rubber-textured bottle, the Mat Velvet + Foundation travels well without you having to worry about it spilling or breaking. The result is flawless and lasts for hours.Īlthough this foundation provides full coverage, the end result is completely adjustable to fit your needs - a little goes a long way.
Hides imperfections, evens out skin tone, and mattifies with a non-oily, perfectly powdered finish. If you have oily skin like me, live in a hot and humid climate like Singapore, or just want a solution to keep your face less shiny, then buckle up and explore what I think is the best mattifying foundation yet! YAY!Ī shine controlling, oil-free, water-resistant, complete coverage liquid foundation. It was with great excitement that I discovered the MAKE UP FOR EVER Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation! I try to avoid foundations that promise a dewy finish because for oily skins, a dewy finish more often than not melts into a greasy finish. I was actually doing reasearch on the Make Up For Ever HD Foundation but wasn’t convinced it was good for me since many claim it gives a dewy finish. I’m a mattifying junkie, whatever that means.
Anything that has ‘MAT’ in it makes me sit upright, my eyes open doubly large, and forget to blink as I read review after review of how that product mattifies the skin, controls oil, and reduces shine.
