For those of you who favor Pressed Powder Foundation over liquid foundation and have Combo Oily Skin, AND are a fan of MAC Studio Fix, Lookey here: Makeup Forever Dou Mat Powder. Wow. I have been using MAC studio fix for what seems like forever. Knowing that there HAD to be something else better out there for my skin type. Sure I dabbled into other brands like Shu Umera, Shiseido, Lancome , yet I always kept going back to MAC studio fix, BUT I wasnt quite satisfied. Grrr.
Well, after some pretty intense research and COUPLE of trips to Sephora, I went with my gut and finally bought Makeup Forever and LOVE it. I had to wait a couple of weeks before posting about it though because I wanted to really make sure it was good and not just a quick buy,excitement sorta thing.
Anyways, it glides on so smoothly. I would say it has less coverage than MAC studio fix BUT you can still layer it with a concealer brush for more troubled areas. The best part is, it has to be the best makeup so far that actually keeps my face shine free for most of the day. I only blot once a day and then ad a dab of blot powder and the make up lasts throughout the day.
I usually start my face out with well FIRST, moisturizer with SPF , Then I go over with a concealer around my eyes, trouble spots and nose area. Then I sweep my face with this wonderful powder using a powder brush for medium coverage. After I take a look at my face and build more on the trouble spots with a concealer brush, and then finally one last sweep of the Duo Mat and Im good to go! This I love right now and dont think Im going back to Studio Fix for a while. :)
BTW, Its $32 at Sephora
