    Makeup forever's Matte Velvet foundation is my too top choice out there! It is pretty thick and full coverage so I recommend a beauty blender for application.

    I was recommended this product by a specialist at Sephora. I am so pleased and happy with the advice she gave me. It has great coverage and it is build-able. I have really oily skin and the foundation feel so light and I have less shine on my face. It's a bit pricey since I am so used to buying drug store products but I wanted to splurge a little more for a high-end one, it's definitely worth every penny!

    Simply AMAZING!!! Make Up For Ever Professional Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation is one of the best foundations out there. Its consistency is perfect. It's not too runny nor too thick, like other foundations are. You can get that light or full coverage you're looking for in this product. It's perfect for women like me with oily skin. This foundation is so light it feels like you don't have foundation on. Although it is a bit expensive, it is completely worth every penny. Why purchase other foundations that aren't good and waste your money. This product is the one of the best. Believe me, you won't regret buying this foundation. Highly reccomend it.

    This is currently my ultimate favourite, high-end foundation that doesn't break the bank. Yes, it's fairly expensive but a bit more affordable than my "if-I-were-allowed-to-splurge" foundation.

    Like a trusted old friend, this one gets my combo-oily skin. Long wearing, mattifying, full coverage and LIGHT feeling, this gorgeous mama has it all. I'm amazed that such a light feeling formula can cover as well as this one.

    LOVE IT. GET IT!

    This is one of the best foundations I've used. It is a bit expensive but a little goes a long way. The coverage is excellent without feeling heavy. It smooths the skin and doesn't get caught in wrinkles! I've received many compliments on my face while wearing it.

    My go-to foundation. Very mattifying, so it's great for people with oily skin, or for those who like a matte look to their make up.

    Amazing foundation! Water based, so it's perfect for oily skin. Lasts all day, excellent coverage.I don't even need to use setting powder for it. It is $42 CAD, so it's a little pricey if your not used to spending a lot of money on make up. A little bit goes a long way though! Worth the money if you're in the market for a good foundation for oily skin :)

    I love Mat Velvet by Makeup Forever, it's a great full coverage foundation. It's a bit pricey if you are used to buying makeup at a big box retailer or drugstore, but the pigmentation is stronger so you don't have to use as much making it last longer. If you have anything you want to cover this will surely cover it, I also use their concealer in areas I need a bit more coverage. I work outdoors a lot and this is one of the few foundations that can hold up even in heat and humidity.

    MAKE UP FOR EVER
    Mat velvet matifying foundation
    $42CAD
    No.15 Alabaster
    Porcelain skin with pink undertones

    Let me start off by saying I am white, like casper's twin kinda white in the winter months. This is my perfect shade and the coverage is great.

    I generally don't have problem skin but some naturally rosy cheeks and freckles. This coverage is definitely build able, but one pass is usually all I need to look natural and have enough coverage to even out my skin tone at the same time.

    I have dry skin so I moisturize and prime like a mother - ahem, before putting this on and skip the powder afterwards.
