    I bought it in 04-Pebble (here in Italy we can't find all the shades you have in USA), and I think it's very good, though not excellent. Medium-slight coverage (I don't need more, but it really...

    I used to be a faithful user of Prescriptives Oil-Free but hate the reformulated Virtual Matte. Thank goodness for MUA because I found this instead. I have very, very oily skin with redness....

    The light whipped texture makes this blend well, and it really feels great going on my skin; not heavy or even greasy. At first I thought there was no way it would last until lunch, but despite...

    I got a sample of this in Linen and have been using a week now. Have to say I avoided trying this for some time because of the word 'matte' in the title. I have slightly dry skin and was afraid...

    This is a wonderful foundation. Looks great in pictures and evens out my skin with medium to light coverage. Feels like a powder consistancy when it dries on my skin and feels as if it smooths...

    I got two samples and wore one yesterday. This foundation seems to float on your skin. My skin has been suddenly oily so I have been avoiding foundations but yesterday I wore it all day and it held...

    I love this! I used to wear Double Wear and the lady said that Ideal Matte wouldn't give me as much coverage, but it does, as its not as heavy and cakey.

    I had read about this foundation in more magazine which caters to over-40s readers. I found the matte foundation lightweight to apply. It is not as heavily matte as EL Double Wear. It gives good...

    Wonderful mousse-like texture & nice finish, but as usual no shade light enough for me (NW15). The lightest shade is much too dark, perhaps equivalent to NW20.

    I like this product because it has a wonderful finish. You only need a very small amount for substantial coverage, in fact it looks fake & cakey if I accidentally use too much. The SA decided the...

    I just bought this product after wearing EL Double Wear for 8 years, and I must say I think this foundation is BETTER than the Double Wear -- which I loved. This will be my HG foundation from...

    "Matte"? I wouldn't describe it as such. It has a dewy finish. I have combo skin, and I need to blot after application of this. However...it does look very natural. It is composed mostly of...

    This is a truely great foundation. It comes out like a soufle, and a little goes a long way. It wears great and lasts all day on my combo skin. My skin looks flawless.

    I love the way this foundation goes on & the creaminess of it...try it. The shade I was matched with was Dawn, but I believe I could even go a shade lighter. It doesn't settle in my pores either....

    I absolutely love this foundation. I have a neutral skin tone, so it is soo very hard to find a foundation that is just right on me. My EL rep suggested "Dawn". I first took home a sample (always...
