Makeup For Ever Mat Velvet +


Wore Makeup For Ever's Mat Velvet + foundation yesterday and today. Always looking at new Matte makeups, and needed to try this.

I was expecting serious matte but got a more muted, dewy matte. I don't do matte for dewy. This is a decent enough foundation but if you have oily areas it's not going to work. I got more shine with this than my non matte ones, on my T -Zone, and the warm air and humidity kicked up today.
The other dryer parts of may face were fine and it did last all day. It did not have the powdery finish described .
I felt the coverage could have been better on the T zone again, and more blendable. I can't say I'll keep it in the rotation. Perhaps the normal skinned ladies will have better luck.

I miss many of the old mattes that are discontinued but there are more to try. ( One of my favs is Bourjois Mat Lovely. A real matte,and still available).

So off to the next Matte makeup test- Chanel Mat Lumiere which from a quick sampling, I already love. I'll have more on that next week, after a full wearing.

Mat Velvet + is exclusive to Sephora and is $34.00
