I know it has been awhile and I apologize, school has just taken over.
Alright so today I will be continuing with my Foundation series, and this one is for the Make Up For Ever(MUFE) Mat Velvet+ Matifying Liquid Foundation. I got this foundation from Sephora and it retails for $40.
The foundation comes with 30ml of product, it is oil-free and water resistant.
The reason I purchased this foundation was mainly because it claimed to be a "matifying" foundation, and since the majority of the time my skin gets oily due to makeup I decided to give it a try.
This foundation is a liquid foundation it is full coverage however it is build-able so if you require more coverage or less coverage it is up to you.
So how to use this foundation?
When you open the bottle there is a squeeze tube so there is no mess when it comes to this foundation. I usually apply a pea size amount to start off on my hand and dip my brush into the product and then apply it to my face. I recommended using a brush as it is a liquid foundation however everyone's preferences are different. Apply the foundation wherever necessary on your face and you can set it with a powder.
Results?
The results are awesome! My face looked matte and there was no shine to be seen. I liked the finish because I could then add a highlighter without my face looking shiny everywhere so it was tamed. The foundation was easy to apply and glided smoothly onto my face. The coverage was great and build-able and it looked flawless. I didn't necessarily have to put a setting powder as the foundation set itself nicely, however out of habit I decided to just put some on. Honestly, this foundation has great coverage and feels very light on the face so you don't have that heavy foundation feeling. This foundation lasts without having to touch up or having to blot your face. Just remember these results were individual to my skin type everyone has different results.
Cons?
To be honest I have no negatives about the foundation. The coverage was nice and the packaging was also great. Good Job MUFE !
Tips:
Make sure that you get the correct shade for your skin colour. There are plenty of make-up artists at Sephora to help you out with choosing the right one for you. This foundation alone has 16 different shades so you are bound to find something. Also, if you are at a Sephora store if you ask they can give you a small sample to try out the foundation so if you end up liking it you can buy it otherwise you can skip it. I think this is awesome because then you are saving money and time in case it doesn't work out for you. Another thing to remember is that Sephora has a great return policy, if you lose your receipt or even used the product they will still take it back so it's great to know what just in case.
Hope this helps and happy foundation searching =)
