    Great powder foundation

    This is a very nice pressed foundation, but I have to say that you really need to prep your skin underneath as it can really highlight any dry skin. I make sure to use a good moisturizer and a hydrating primer (Ave some under eye concealing) before putting this on. I've used the provided sponge and brush, and it gives a wonderful amount of buildable coverage. It really blurs the skin and covers pores without looking cakey and doesn't feel heavy. It's a powered so I did have to reapply a couple times throughout the day. I love the slim and sleek packaging too! Great for everyday use!

    Look no further, this is the foundation you'll want!

    I've worn makeup for about 30 years now and it's always been a challenge finding the right foundation that didn't cake, wipe or smudge off easily, matches your skin but also lasted hours! This is all of those! I went into Sephora lost one day and the woman directed me to this winning makeup! Can't live without it!

    Best foundation for combination/ oily skin

    I have pretty acne prone/ oily skin, this foundation blends well and looks beautiful and flawless on the skin! I absolutely love this foundation! I recommend it to anyone y I recommend it to anyone who needs a good matte foundation that isn’t too drying

    Amazing Foundation

    My favourite foundation! One of the few that matches my skin tone and doesn't oxidize. Lasts all day. Very full coverage, but easily sheered out by a drop or two of oil if desired. Have repurchased multiple times!

    Not sure if it's the best for me

    It's not a bad product at all, but I don't think it's right for me. After an hour, my skin becomes oily and the foundation shifts and becomes blotchy. I've tried with primer, without primer, moisturized, not moisturized, setting powder, no setting powder, setting spray, no setting spray, and the results are mostly the same. And for $50 a pop, I'm just not satisfied. So it's not a bad product,,but not the right match for me.

    Didn't keep oily skin matte with setting spray

    Used this foundation with Urban decay de-slick setting spray and powder foundation. It kept my skin matte for few hours, but after that..I had oily skin. Still in the hunt for foundation that will keep my skin matte especially for special events like weddings.

    Perfect foundation

    I have tried a lot of foundations over the years and until now I was never able to find the perfect foundation. I have combination skin and have always struggles with some areas of my face being too oily causing a shine to my foundation. Matte velvet does not give any oily shine and is easy to keep light or build up to studio coverage. It is a small bottle but don’t be alarmed as long as you use a foundation brush this little bottle will go a long way. Great foundation

    love this

    I asked a Sephora consultant for a new makeup for good coverage and she applied this one me. I couldn't believe how it looked. Made my skin look flawless. I've been using Bare Minerals for a few years now but decided to try something more full coverage and this is great. Not as light as Bare Minerals but what do you expect for something that covers sun spots and other discolorations/spots.

    Very buildable

    This foundation doesn't break out my über sensitive skin and builds with a very small amount. a little goes a long way! It will last all day if you set it with a nice staying powder (like laura mercier!)

    I love this foundation

    This is the only foundation I have used that seems to stay matte on my face for a very long time. Even without setting spray it tends to stay on for longer. I love the matte finish of it and it helps keep my oils at bay. I will keep using this rven if I need to spend a bit more for foundation.
