Excellent coverage for scratches and blemishes
A Sephora employee recommended this product to me after I got a scratch from an overexcited puppy. I used it as concealer and it has worked better than any cream concealer I have used. As a foundation it is also pleasantly light and provides coverage without looking too cakey. I wish I had owned this product during my years of bad acne in high school and college. Highly recommend!
Makeup Forever is my new MAC powder foundation
I use to wear MAC studio fix powder for like 20 years however with the new colours and formula it just wasn’t working out for me. I got matched at the Sephora for this one. It has buildable coverage, colour match is good. This is my new go to. It lost some points as the compact is a bit large and there is not as much in the compact as the Mac one.
A Must-Have!
My absolute favorite powder! Doesn’t crease, and lasts all day. My face looks so smooth
STOP CHANGING THE FORMULA
I used to love the old formula but this new one is awful. The color is so yellow and this formula makes me breakout so bad! I have tiny little whiteheads everywhere I applied this.
Got rid of their original colors
Bring back the old shade names. It’s confusing that they changed all the colors and messed up the formula. I will be switching to another brand. The OG colors were less orangey
Amazing For Mature Skin!
Just picked this up and wow! I’ve always gravitated toward liquid foundations, but found I could never find the perfect finish or colour for my skin and tone. This powder foundation is unlike anything I’ve tried before including MAC. It’s lightweight, blurring and feels silky on the skin. I wouldn’t call this matte, more like a natural finish. Unlike other powder foundations, this does not make my sensitive 57 year old skin itch! Highly recommend for ageing, sensitive skin that...
Not a substitute for MAC’s studiofix + foundation
I was sent here after seeing online recommendations to try this powder if you were also a victim of MAC’s changes to their studio fix powder + foundation formula change. I was very optimistic but unfortunately, this powder only scores a 6/10 for me when compared to MAC’s old formula. For the price it is, I’m actually happy that it is’t going to serve as my substitute. I did not get the coverage I was hoping too and I also felt it exaggerated the dryness of my skin, even when paired with...
Holy Grail Powder Foundation
This powder foundation is incredible. Not too mattifying, and the velvet finish is very skin-like. I use this to set liquid foundation and wear it by itself. The key to make it last and not transfer so much is to add a lot of setting spray on top of powders. I've used MAC fix+ and Make Up Forever Mist & Fix spray with this and both have worked well. This foundation has lasted through a full work day and a work out without moving or creasing. If you're looking for an easy makeup day and need...
Nope
Since the new reformulation, none of the shades have worked, have to go to a new brand
I didn’t need to wear foundation at all throughout my 30’s and early 40’s. At 45 I’m getting those dark circles, redness, uneven pigmentation so I decide to try my old go-to MAC studio fix powder foundation. I bought this too of a whim and holy moly I LOVE it. Doesn’t look heavy or cakey, stays through out the day, passes the nose test (doesn’t accentuate the pores on my nose or look totally patchy). Love it I’ll be using it for as long as as it works with my skin.
Decent formula, meh color choices
Coverage is quite buildable, especially for a powder foundation. Feels a little dry on the skin. The shade range isn’t great and definitely needs to be expanded on both ends of the spectrum. I chose the lightest cool toned shade, and it I look like I have bronzer all over m face, and I’m not super pale
A Grail Product for my skin!
I have a very oily t-zone and large pores. This powder foundation keeps me matte and helps to make my pores less noticeable. Very happy with this foundation!
crap!
No where does it say this is a waterproof formula. It's horrible. Does not blend. Doesn't look natural.
really nice for the final step of spot concealing spots, can last surprising well if a long lasting primer is used
Very nice coverage
It’s worth the price. Works very well with my oily skin.
Much Better Options Out There
I wanted a powder foundation for days I work from home to speed up my routine, and unfortunately I have to keep looking. I’ve tried this in the past and it was good, but the new formula manages to be cakey, dry, and oily at the same time. It makes my skin look dull. It’s difficult to apply evenly and looks so bad after two hours I end up taking my makeup off and applying my usual liquid foundation. Try to get a sample of this and wear it for a day before purchasing.
The best!
Still one of my favorites. Been using it for years. The color match and the coverage are just sooooo good and I find powder foundation like this, easier to work with. I love it
Works well on my combo skin and doesn’t cling to dry patches. The texture is super smooth, so it looks natural on the skin. Not the best option if you’re looking for full coverage though.
Thee Best
my favorite foundation ever, and I’m not a powder foundation person. So much coverage, very light feeling on the skin. I can use this all year.
MUST HAVE POWDER FOUNDATION!
BEST powder foundation! Stays all day, plays well cream blush, layers well, buildable to full coverage!
NO FOR OILY SKIN
Other than the color match, this was not for me. I am very oily in my t zone and no matter if I used a little or a lot of product it looked so cakey and oily after 20 min. Im disappointed cause it was so hyped up :(
I love this makeup. It’s what I’ve been looking for. A powder base with great coverage. I do use a primer or gel moisturizer under and it applies and covers great. Only buying this from now on
Amazing for Oily Skin
This is the best foundation for my oily skin! It looks super natural and feels lightweight.
Great coverage, nice color, does not leave you oily
impressive
I have not worn make up in years I walked into Sephora met with Emily said I dont wear make up I just want something easy with coverage with was a HIT.... Very impressed.
This is the best foundation EVER!! It truly is undetectable if a heavy spray of rose water is used to set. Looks just like my own skin. Being a guy, haters would call me out if they thought I was wearing foundation. NOBODY has said a word!! Be
Decent foundation
I don’t wear foundation, but if I did this was great. It wasnt too drying and it didn’t irritate my skin, two problems I have which is why I do not wear foundation.
The best skin product on the market!
Truly one of the best products on the market. In addition with your normal concealer or foundation, it creates an incredible blurring effect. It adds the kind of coverage only a FaceTune filter can add. If you struggle with acne or redness, this product covers it up so easily. I genuinely cannot live without it.
In love with this
Best powder foundation I have ever used ! I will be buying more. Actually this makes me want to try more make up for ever !!! I was shocked how it matched my skin perfectly! It’s great. It also has the blurring effect it claims to be. It also feels so silky and good on your skin
Great for combo skin
I have combination skin with rosacea and large pores, so finding a foundation that has good coverage without making my texture look worse has been so hard!! This powder helps hide my redness without looking super cakey
GO SEE CHUCK AT MAKEUP FOREVER
So I’ve always 100% loved make up forever it was one of the first makeup brands I ever owned that I bought with my own money and it’s kinda my ride or die with the way I keep getting compliments on my makeup
MUFE Stan now!
Forever using powder foundation now because of this! My skin either looks cakey or greasy with liquid so I gave this a go and I’m never going back Very easy to apply and not drying! The coverage is amazing and longevity is definitely there! You have to kind of play around at first to see what works with your skin!
Nice product perfectly blend into the skin, for those who just want to do minimal makeup will be a good choice
Meh
Color match is perfect, I love how it covers all imperfections on my skin, and the compact is amazing quality. However, it shows up really dry and cakey on my skin no matter how much exfoliating, moisturizing, and prep I do
Skin like alternative to foundation routine staple
been using the product for two years now, gives a perfect skin like base blurring pores without the cake that foundation gives, will last all day with setting powder my favorite thing about the product is it doesn't make me breakout only recommendation use a brush instead of the puff.
It’s just ok.
Overall, it’s ok. It’s a little too drying for my skin. I tend to have dry areas from time to time. I recommend it for someone who likes a nice matte finish. Received complimentary from influenster.
Best foundation I have tried yet
I have complex skin (highly sensitive, acne rosacea, excema in some areas, flaky, sometimes crusty, and also combination) and this foundation is a godsend. So easy to apply. comes with a nice sponge but I use a brush. I am shade 3N54 Hazelnut and it is a perfect match. I will continue to buy this product. It feels very lightweight, buildable, does not settle into creases around the eye area, smiles lines, or forehead. A truly amazing product.
The product I received was already used one made me break out even the foundation bottle is broken i bought same day
A must have in my routine
Wow I love itttttt it’s cover my whole face i recommend it ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful formula
This is by far the nicest powder foundation I’ve ever used. It’s lightweight, and it gives good coverage without making my skin look dry or cakey.
Flawless!!
I'm absolutely thrilled with this foundation! Using a brush helps it glide on seamlessly, providing a flawless, lightweight finish that feels incredibly natural. The coverage is truly exceptional, leaving my skin looking and feeling its best.
Super cakey and gave me terrible allergy reaction. It does not cover anything but magnifying blemish x10000.. I would give zero star if i could
Obsessed
I have been using this as a setting powder and I’m obsessed.
Wrinkle-Enhancing!?
Not for mature skin. Used to be good. All the brands seem to be going downhill.It settled into every line!? Bag Lady not a good look. :-(
Definitely a matte finish!
Overall, it’s ok. It’s a little too drying for my skin. I tend to have dry areas from time to time. I recommend it for someone who like a nice matte finish.
A must have!!
Formula is amazing, super soft feeling. Super blurring and ties whole make up look together!!
It’s okay!
I liked it at first, but when I continued using it will always cake on specific sides of my face, along the brim of my face.
Flawless and long lasting
Just the coverage I was looking for and long lasting. Even after being in the sun or sweating at work, this foundation was flawless.
Fast Fresh Natural Finish but Fragile
Fast application, total effortless coverage, excellent shade selection are the pros! The only negative is if you drop it, it will crack powder. Even the gym ladies were all astonished how naturally fresh my face looked.
Perfect
Perfect color and feel. I love this product. I will buy it again and again.
I liked it! The packaging is slim enough for on the go and the feel is nice. Feels like my skin
Good wear, but breaks easily
Had this 1 week and already fell apart. Product seems good, but broke inside my makeup bag while traveling.
will definitely buy again
i don’t typically go for powder foundation, but this has changed my mind! good coverage while feeling lightweight
Really wanted to love it… but it just didn’t work
I really wanted to love this product. I tried — I gave it several chances using different application methods and prepping my skin in various ways (I have oily skin, and I know my prep routine well). But no matter what I did, it always ended up looking cakey on me. I use the foundation from this brand and it works beautifully, so I had high hopes. It’s clearly a great product for many people, but unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me.
Didn’t come in my order, got random sample instead
Don’t miss out
THE best blurring foundation powder on planet earth. Period.
OK product
I have used this product for a couple of weeks and I would say that even though the colour match is reasonable it is not as good as I had expected. The coverage is OK, I have used better and less expensive products in the past, which have unfortunately been discontinued. The makeup adviser steered me to this product after doing a colour match however I was not given any alternatives to compare to. Next time I will ask that they give other options to choose from.
Exactly what I was looking for…
The finish is leaves is non-cakey. So skin like on my textured skin. Still provides amazing coverage but still looking like skin. So beautiful and the shades they have are really nice.
Great choice!
This is a great foundation! Does everything it advertised. It does crumble a little bit when picking up powder with a brush though.
Great brand for male customers
Light to wear. Blends well. Doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.
Good product
Loving it and matches my shed. Covers my face perfectly.
Great with or without foundation. Smooth and blends easily..
Not for Dry Skin
Cannot recommend for dry skin. Very drying! The texture in the pan felt nice but on the skin it was not great
Blurring and matte effect
I love that this powder foundation sets perfectly on my skin. It’s matting but not dry and patchy.
Do not buy
This is the worst foundation I have ever used. If you have sunscreen under, or have slight textual issues, the foundation magnifies the problem 100*. The same thing also happens if you want to build coverage after a few hours. Worst foundation ever, wish I had returned it.
Clings onto dry patches (and I'm an oily girly!)
Used this product for 6 months and after testing it in different climates (dry, humid, summer, winter), I can absolutely say that it is NOT a good product. I had faith because I loved the old formula when the powder was still in the black (instead of nude) packaging. It settles into all the nooks and crevices into your skin and clings onto my dry patches—and girl, I'm oily and use two moisturizers and sunscreen and primer before applying so I don't even know how that happens.
it is super matifying and stayed on the entire night.
Not for dry skin
The product ends up being cakey and adds texture to the skin. It’s very drying
Love
I love this product, it cannot be missing from my routine.
I enjoyed this product as a spot cover up for blemishes and uneven skin tone. I’ve gone through most of the product
Double check shade range.
A staff at the mall of America location matched me with this. It was too dark. Not even close to my shade. Unfortunately, I was unable to return it because it dropped. Don’t rely on the store lighting.
A great product
After using this product for awhile I really like the results and how it feels on my skin. Sometimes I will use this alone and some blush and bronzer.
Price jump?!
I absolutely fell in love with this product and it became my ride or die, but not incentivized/paying with my own money, it’s now $60 (CDN)!! Don’t know if this is in part due to the tariffs or what but seriously! I truly love this but not sure I can afford to repurchase or keep loving it. 😢😞
Cracks up
Didnt work for me. It’s been long since i have it and hardly used it. It cracks on my skin. Even the lightest application cracks and looks really BAD. I was expecting more. I wish i could return it.
New formulation is both oily and cakey, swerve
Before the HD skin reformulation, this was my GRAIL product. Now it burns my skin, does a horrible job controlling oil, and sits cakey and far more yellow. "Rosy" undertones are far more peach. It's sad, now I have to hunt down a new powder and with my part Indigenous, part Greek colouring that's REALLY hard.
Just ok.
Just ok. I was hoping for more of a foundation powder this didn't provide much coverage or last very long. I won't be buying again.
the powder for everybody!
I love this powder and recommend it to anyone looking for a great pressed powder! I first received this product in gratis and fell in love with it because of how smoothes the skin, sets it, applies consistently with no patchiness, and wears gracefully. I have used it on many clients of all different skin types (oily, combination, normal, dry, & mature) and it has looked great on everybody I have used it on. my clients at sephora absolutely love it and so do I :) I have combo-dry skin and...
I really like this powder foundation it really is full coverage, my skin is super oily and while I still get oily with this powder, the product still stays on, it doesn’t separate or slide off. Pretty convenient to carry around. My mom has mature skin and this powder lasts and looks so good on her. mature skin and
Light weight powder that actually matches my skin color. This powder also give better coverage than other powders I have used.
AYOO
So skin like so blurring, full coverage (w/o feeling cakey) breathable, long lasting, skin like finish, literally last me through intense workouts, it’s the best. Just get it
HOLY GRAIL FOR YEARS
If you want to look done up in seconds, get this. I always finish it was whatever setting spray I have to transform it into skin like. But I’ve been using this magic powder for years. I have 3 colors in my collection at all time. I’m 32 and have been using this since I was in my 20s. Holy grail!!!
HO IS YOU MAGIC?
for real because i have dry skin and large pores. this as a setting powder literally POOFED my pores into oblivion! it is the most blurred and non caked I've ever seen my face.
Absolute must-have!
One of the best color matches & blurring powders I ever used❤️. Please keep making this! I would suggest going to a store & getting matched in natural light, it's very easy to buy the wrong color, great coverage whether applied with a sponge or brush & decent lasting power if set with a setting spray.
I have one in my purse and one in my vanity.
I had used multiple foundations through the years. this stuff is the best. it matches my skin perfectly, stays on all day, doesn't make my face oily, and doesn't looked caked on.
Great buildable full coverage
Smooth and great coverage. I am giving 4 ⭐️ instead of 5 ⭐️ only because it does cost a good bit. I'm sure women who get most or all of their makeup at Sephora may not think so. I have only gotten things here and there over the years, but the older I get, the more into my skin care and hiding my aging skin (wrinkles and even some dark spots on my face and not just dark circles under my eyes now) I have been buying more of their products. This costed me $45 I've not tried many other than...
Love this product! It is a creamy full coverage Powder that goes on easily
Cakey and doesn't blends well
After using this product and trying to give it a chance, definitely would not recommend. It leaves my face cakey and doesn't blends well. Completely bummer and will return
Must try on
What a great blur effect this product has. I usually have pimples after any powder I have been used, but not this one. My skin looks perfect, and had a light coverage. My girlfriends have been asking me what do I use :)
It’ll last FOR HOURS
I still give a 5 stars since it’s sooooo good even tho it’s not my skin match :( it’s a little too dark for my skin, but I really like it, next time i need to get a better skin match after I finish this one, totally recommend tho
Don't like this product at all. It eccentuated fine lines & wrinkles. Has a weird yellow tinge to it as well that doesn't compliment skin.
Oily skin girls!
This is every oily girls dream. You can customize your coverage for the no makeup looks, or pack it on till your look is achieved. It took me 3x to get my color match as they do run warm or slightly yellow. Just a heads up!
Great for mature skin
Great for older skin. Smooth and great coverage - hides fine lines - does not get caught up in them
Was not the right color I looked white and old and dry and idk if it was the product but I got a rash also so had to return it.
Great as a setting powder
I used this as a finishing powder and lightly set my whole base and it locked me in for the whole night! After a 12hr shift at the hospital it stayed put!
must have
this product keeps my skin feeling hydrated and looking amazing. highly reccomend
Great foundation
Great foundation. Looks good. Easy to use.i have been using for years
What is this sorcery?!?
Powder and I have always been on opposite sides of the beauty spectrum. She was like that classmate you never spoke to, despite sharing every class since the 4th grade. But this powder? It’s a game-changer! I can’t get over how effortlessly it gives you an airbrushed finish without any dryness or cakiness. It melts into your skin like magic on contact. The only tip I’d give is to try the shades in-store, as some of my usual favorites didn’t quite hit the mark. Overall, this powder is...
A solid powder foundation
It's a solid powder foundation, it is buildable but not completely full coverage. I do have to set it with a setting spray otherwise you can see the powder sitting on the skin, but it does what it needs to do.
Holy grail product
Holy grail product. I was color matched perfectly in store. Good coverage that’s not too heavy or light. I have super sensitive skin and this has continued to work for me.
Easy to apply and great coverage
This sits so well on my skin and is my perfect colour.
Mine get broken and I got color sand and didn’t match
terrible. would NOT reccommend
Something about the formula makes it terribly reflective in photos. it is cakey and the color looks off. do not buy if you plan on taking pictures with flash because this would ruin them
It's pretty good
Goes on sooo smooth and stays the day! Ensure you're using a hydrating moisturizer to prevent any flaking
Fit my skin tone as Asian. I used a brush to tap on my face, after applying primer. Love this matte look.
A lovely powder foundation!
As a person who typically uses liquid foundation this powder was very nice. The application looks smooth and I love the matte look. It was very easy to apply with a kabuki brush. I sometimes also used it as a setting powder. The foundation would last me most of the work day and it never looked cakey.
The old formula was amazing but definitely this one is far from those results. This one I feel like it cracks after an hour or so and you have to be re-applying which makes it look cakey after.
Don’t buy!
At first I thought, oh this is nice! Wrong! After like 15 minutes my face, especially upper lip and nose looked so cakey! Ugh! Keep in mind, I use the best base and the BEST setting spray out there! I’ll be going back to my tried and true Clinique powder foundation! It’s the best, but lightweight so need more . I can live w that! So disappointed makeup forever
My everyday foundation! already buying it for the 5th time
Not the same as the older formula
I loved the old formula. This one I hate. No matter what I do, it looks cakey on my upper lip and will not stick to my nose.
Amazing lo necesitas
My shade is 3N48 Is an amazing face powder you don’t even need concealer I love it reminds me Mac powder go get it you won’t regret it
A good filter for under eye and it control the oily spots on your face, I really like it. On of my favorite products.
NOT for oily skin!
Terrible for oily skin. I think this makes my skin MORE oily. Looks great when it’s first applied, but by midday I’m horrified at how cakey/oily and gross my skin looks!
New formula is not it .
Wanted to love this since I needed a warmer shade aside from my other one which is the old packaging/formula and this is just not it. Upon application it looks great but as the day goes buy it looks so oily/cakey. Did not have this problem with the old one. Sadly will be returning.
This powder adds the most stunning airbrush almost like a filter IRL- however it’s very fragile and breaks easily :( Mine arrived to me cracked, however I was still able to salvage it a bit and I do really like the formula but it cracks easily I guess!!
To be honest when I first tried this, I preferred the old formula better. But after playing with this a bit more, I realized that I was applying too much and when I do, my lines and pores stand out more. Now that I apply it lightly, it stays on the whole day and doesn't settle into my lines as much. It's not the best for me, maybe cause of my oily skin but I don't regret buying it at all.
I do not like wearing heavy makeup and feel most liquid foundation weighs me down. However I live in a dry area so pure powder foundations are no good either. This formula is very light, doesn’t weigh me down or dry me out. It also helps smooth out my complexion which is great since I have vitiligo as well.
A terrible replacement for the old formula
I used the previous formula for many years, which blended well and was easy to apply with or without primer. My skin used to look perfectly smooth and natural after putting this on. This new formula is cakey, looks more dry and powdery on the skin. Even the sponge has changed which makes it worse. The formula looks slightly better when used with the old sponge, but not the same. I regret buying two to stock up and will not be buying this product again.
2r28 low saturation medium cool olive
2r28 is a near match to my medium cool olive low saturation skin tone.
Sat on my skin and in my pores. Was not blurring unfortunately.

Perfect for “no-makeup” makeup look
I wear this powder on my face at work during my “no-makeup” days to cover any redness, acne, or underage circles I have. Honestly you cannot tell that I am wearing any make up. And that’s my favorite part about it.
This is an amazing product. It has arrived as described. I love it ❤️
HG foundation - FINALLY!
This is my HG foundation! I’ve tried SO many liquids and they usually made me look cakey and dry, and really emphasized dry patches that I didn’t even know I had. As long as I prep my skin well, this works wonders - it’s a soft blurring matte and so easy to use. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my skin since using this. I have not tried the old version so can’t compare, but I love this product.
I prefer using powder foundation due to my oily skin, and finding the right shade for my very pale complexion can be challenging. That's why I'm pleased that Makeup Forever offers a wide range of shades. This particular powder foundation applies consistently, is buildable, and doesn't change color throughout the day. It's an essential part of my daily makeup routine.
This product is ideal if you enjoy a matte finish. It provides buildable coverage that stays smooth and doesn’t cake up. The included sponge applicator is decent, though I find a brush works better for me. If you like a more substantial makeup look, I’d definitely recommend giving this a try.
Try it
It has buildable coverage. Light wear. Little to no sent which is always a plus. No bad for a powder foundation at all especially for my old school clients.
nice
The HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation is a game-changer for those seeking a flawless, matte finish. It provides excellent coverage while feeling lightweight on the skin, effectively blurring imperfections for a smooth, airbrushed look. The longwear formula ensures that your makeup stays in place all day without caking or settling into fine lines. Ideal for oily or combination skin, it controls shine and keeps your complexion looking fresh. This powder...
Great for oily skin!
I used this years ago and wanted to try again - still is great! I live in a humid area and have oily skin so is great for that!
Excellent
This is a fantastic foundation. I use a fluffy-ish brush to apply, as I wear this when I want light coverage. I was worried about powder on my dry skin, but after about 15 minutes it seems to meld into my skin and just looks NICE. It looks very natural and lasts well. I use the little sponge it comes with only if I need to conceal something and that works very well.
Definitely a must-have!
This HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear foundation is a game changer! I like the packaging, the applicator has 2 sides which you can pick on how you want it to use it that will give you either medium or full coverage. I like wetting the sponge a little bit so that it will give me that full coverage and flawless skin texture. It is very good in covering all your unwanted blemishes and dark spots! I love it! I will definitely recommend it to a friend!
Amazing for covering acne
This is honestly the best foundation I’ve ever used. The coverage is so buildable and does an amazing job covering my active acne and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I have combination skin but this foundation wears beautifully regardless of whether my skin is more oily or dry that day. It’s a very smooth natural matte finish but still allows my natural glow to show through. By the end of the day my skin still looks just as amazing if not better than when I applied. I have never reached...
This product is amazing, It goes on so smooth and I love the way it just blends into my skin. The color is also perfect for not only my summer color but by my winter color as well! I am obsessed! I love it!
Love it! Best foundation ever.
OMG! I’ve been looking for a foundation that covers and does not look like a full face of makeup ….this natural looking product is totally a game changer! They know what they are doing with this
Loving this product
Make Up For Ever's HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation is a game-changer for those seeking a flawless, matte finish.

Its long-lasting formula holds up well throughout the day, even in humid conditions. The lightweight texture feels comfortable on the skin, making it ideal for all-day wear. Whether used alone or as a setting powder, this foundation...
Lately my pores have been getting a little bigger and with make up in the summer it’s been really hard to hide them so I was really excited to get this product to try because I’ve been very into the blurring make up lately. I’ve always been a huge fan of this brand, and this brand definitely lives up to everything I imagined it would their products are always so great reasonably priced and very beautiful on!
This powder is wonderful for my oily skin! It lasts all day and is definitely sweatproof! I get so many compliments when I layer this over any liquid foundation. Highly recommend will be adding to my professional kit.
Good purse powder!
This powder is a perfect addition to your makeup if you’re looking for a one and done. It’s so easily applied and it has the sponge with it. So it really just makes it an all in one. It lasted me ALL day and really finished so beautiful on top of my liquids and performed well on its own as well. If your really don’t like much. You can easily look to this powder for you.
This powder is fantastic for oily skin! It’s full coverage and wears wonderfully in hot weather. I love the sponge it comes with. The two different textures allow for different amounts of coverage which is so cool
Excellent Staying Power
I really love this HD powder foundation; it's like my skin, but better! It blends so well and I enjoy the buildable aspect of this foundation. This felt super lightweight on my skin and took me from work to happy hour!
Good for oily and combo skin
I have to say I really like the amount of product you get for the price. I have oily combo skin and I love the way it made my skin look even on top of foundation or alone. Say would it’s worth purchasing.
Love this powder!
Makeup Forever HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation comes in a beautiful compact with a sponge application tool. My skin is a little more oily and red in the summer and this powder does a great job of covering up all of my skin flaws. I love the versatility of this foundation as you can layer as much as you like depending on your coverage preference.
I love this powder. It’s very pigmented and covers a lot. I love using it when I don’t want to use foundation or I add it to foundation to take away the oily look. I definitely recommend this product!
I’ve been using the Forever Makeup HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation not for too long, and it’s become a staple in my routine. The coverage is impressive, providing a smooth, matte finish that lasts all day without feeling heavy. It also does an excellent job of blurring imperfections, giving my skin a flawless look. Plus, it's easy to apply and buildable, so I can go from light to full coverage depending on my needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a...
New favorite!
The Make Up For Ever HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation provides incredible coverage while still feeling lightweight on the skin. The matte finish is perfect for controlling shine from my oily/combination skin throughout the day. It does an excellent job of blurring imperfections (like texture and acne scars) and creating a smooth, flawless look. I appreciate how long-wearing it is – it stays put even on long, busy days and only needs minor touch-ups towards the end of...
Good coverage
I really enjoy the coverage of this powder. The finish is also good. I used the included sponge for application and I like that one side is softer I feel like it looks best when applied with that side. Overall really good for summer but probably too dry for winter.
Great matte foundation
If you are looking for a full coverage foundation, this is a great option, I really like it. It’s very easy to apply, just pat the cushion gently and then press/pat all over the face and voila! Even coverage and it lasts for hours. Doesn’t really have much of a scent, it is very matte so I would only recommend if you are going for that type of look but if you are, this is a great option! Honestly it’s really impressive how long lasting it is and I am trying this in Humid summer in Florida....
No Shine!
I adore Make Up forever HD Skin Matte Velvet foundation. It’s a mattifying powder foundation that blurs pores/imperfections and reduces redness. The powder itself is velvety smooth and silky. It goes in easily and builds nicely to medium coverage. The compact is nice on portable and easy to take along for touch ups. It comes with a sponge for easy application. Sometimes I use a brush to apply too. I always use over moisturizer and primer and experienced no caking or creasing. My makeup...
Yes please
So good for combo skin with a lot of oil. I’m always shocked how much better it makes my skin look!
Love this matte foundation powder! I use it as a finishing powder after I apply setting powder and it locks in my makeup and makes my face look matte. It is very hydrating and pigmented, so you can also use it as a foundation if you want! And it’s perfect for travel!
Great
This stuff is absolutely amazing for being a compact powder! it lies on super smoothly and literally no sitting in the creases at all, which usually happens with my skin when I use a powdered foundation
This powder foundation leaves my skin looking soooo amazing!! I love how I can use it as a powder foundation or with a lighter hand as a finishing powder. It’s so light on my skin but covers really well. My skin looks really natural and so nice! I would highly recommend this!
Amazing
This powder foundation is absolutely amazing! The formula is extremely finely milled and offers an amazing velvet blur when you apply it to the skin. The powder offers amazing coverage without making my skin look too cakey and controls my oil throughout the day.
Wears well all day! Get any coverage desired
This pressed powder is flexible so it fits my needs for every occasion. I can get either a full or medium coverage foundation depending on which side of the sponge I use to apply. If I’m seeking light coverage or to use this as a finishing powder, I can apply it with a brush instead. My favorite method is to apply this to my cheeks using the beige side of the sponge with the MUFE logo for the highest coverage to completely cover redness and then go in with the lower coverage of the white...
Beautiful matte finish
Love this makeup foundation, it goes on so smooth on the skin, as I have dry skin I just make sure to properly hydrate it first to have better results. So far, it gives me a nice flawless finish, with a smoother appearance and it last for a longer time, I barely need to reapply it along the day. I also like that I found the right shade for my skin tone.
This is a beautiful foundation that makes my skin look flawless. It blends beautifully and looks very natural, like my skin but better. It hasn’t broken me out and all and since it’s a powder it’s very easy to apply and touch up on the go.
not recommend it
worst powder foundation expensive and not worth it
I am not usually a powder foundation girly because of the coverage but this offers medium coverage which is very light weight on the skin. During the summer this is great because heavier foundations just sweat off. Lasts well and does not look powdery on the skin.
Smooth application
Awesome powder foundation. I use this to help cover up redness and some discoloration spots on my face. It blends very well and is smooth when applying. It is a nice compact foundation that I can take on the go. It is long lasting too. I don’t notice any fading throughout the day.
6 Hours Wear
This product was nice the color was a great match for my skin tone. It did last about 6 hours before I had to retouch my face. The power/foundatioin is buildable and I like did not feel very heavy on my skin.
Perfect for the hot summer days
I recently tried the HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation in shade 1N14, and I’m thoroughly impressed. This foundation offers exceptional coverage with a smooth, matte finish that blurs imperfections beautifully. The formula is lightweight and feels comfortable on the skin, which is ideal for daily wear, especially in hot weather. The shade 1N14 matches my skin tone perfectly, providing a natural look without any ashy undertones. It also has impressive longevity,...
Obsessed !!!
It’s SOOOO good, I’m a full coverage girly so tapping a little bit of this on top of my regular foundation is a game changer and stays on ALLLLLL day, I’m truly obsessed with the results !!!!!! Love it
Works amazing
This powder foundation works like magic. It’s looks really good on the skin. The coverage is amazing and it stays for whole day. You have to do skin prep before applying this powder foundation. It does blurs skin. Here’s to mention that their foundation do run on the warmer side of skin tones.

The best for touchups! Love the packaging as it’s sleek and easy to slip into a bag. I get oily through the day in my t zone, and this powder works great at absorbing oil and helping my skin stay matte without looking cakey or heavy.
I love this powder foundation! It took me a while to get used to the powder texture when I first tried it but now I feel like it’s even easier than applying a liquid one. This formula is buildable and works great both evening my skin tone and covering imperfections. Compact size and application buff inside the packaging make it a perfect travel friendly foundation and allow touch ups on the go.
Flawless
As someone that suffers from hyperpigmentation, I’m always on the lookout for products that can help with my needs. The Makeup Forever HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Powder has truly become my holy grail! I love how lightweight this powder is. It provided a nice buildable coverage. I used both the provided puff and brush and it provided the same matte finish that I was looking for. I highly recommend this product!
This powder foundation surprised me!! I really like it. It goes on smooth, i used it with the puff it came with and also tried it with a brush blends great both ways! I like to use it on the days i go to the gym so i can hide any redness on my skin and it feels so light and doesn’t look too powdery. I got the shade 2y30 i have light/medium olive skin and it matches perfectly.
The Makeup Forever HD Skin Matte Velvet Long-Wear Blurring Powder Foundation looks fantastic on my skin, almost as if I have a filter on. The compact is convenient for on-the-go touch-ups throughout the day. I simply press and roll the foundation on, and it delivers flawless results.
This powder has been amazing for my needs, I typically do concealer and a bit of blush and bronzer. I’ve added this into my routine to kind of blend everything together so it all looks cohesive. My skin is kind of a combo type, I get dry in some areas and oily in others and this powder has worked flawlessly everywhere I place it. My skin looks blurred and natural, not cakey. I love that I can use this without anything else below it besides some moisturizer. The applicator that is included...
My new go to foundation powder. Going to be taking this in my purse everywhere. With the big mirror and the sponge that it comes with that’s all I need. The product goes on very smooth with no patches. It hides my scarring and pigmentation
Love it!
I am loving this foundation! It feels lightweight on the skin and its medium to full coverage. I like that it makes the skin look blurred and doesn’t feel super drying for it being a powder foundation. If you’re someone that has oily skin this is for you, it makes the skin look matte.
HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation 2N22 Nude is a lightweight, medium-to-full coverage powder foundation that can mattify skin. I like the packaging as it is compact and on the go kind of thing.

This product came broken unfortunately. It is a very fragile powder so beware. However aside from that the product itself leaves a very satin and smooth looking finish. It did not crease easily which is the best thing in my opinion!
Unfortunately this came broken, so it is definitely delicate. I like the included sponge and found it picked up the perfect amount of product for coverage without looking cakey or too powdery. The shade match was perfect
Great Powder Foundation
This Makeup Forever powder foundation is amazing. I applied the foundation with a brush and it gave me great coverage. It feels light on my skin and blurs out all my imperfections. My makeup looks flawless and last me all day.

Use a light hand if you have dry skin
beauty | tech | lifestyle A Sci-Fi, gaming, tech, type and beauty geek. I prefer makeup, fragrance, fashion, homegoods, gaming gear and tech over ineffective skincare. I have combination skin with fine lines and mild texture. I'm fair skin with neutral and cool undertone. I prefer liquid foundations, but thought I'd give this one a try. Like most powder foundations this one is drying. However, if you go with a light hand (very light hand) and follow up with a damp sponge, it isn't too bad....
I am so obsessed with this HD skin Matt velvet long wear product. It works so well I would highly recommend all my family and friends. I am so obsessed with the packaging and the product that brand is absolutely amazing.
Nice coverage with this powder foundation. I did think that it was a little more orange toned that it looked online so be careful with what shade you choose. It did oxidize a little bit and it did cling to my dry spots a little bit but for those that love powder foundation it did give me nice smooth looking skin.
Great for oily skin!
Great powder! I have oily skin and I applied it after doing my normal makeup routine. I used the makeup forever powder as a final step and I must say it held up all day. Especially after work and the summer heat. I will probably apply it with a brush from now on instead of the sponge. I love the packaging it’s so cute! Great for oily skin women like myself.

This powder foundation is amazing! I live in a lower latitude city where I sweat a lot during the summer, and most foundations don't last more than half a day. But this one truly stays put, keeping my matte look all day. It's fantastic!
Disappointed
The first time I purchased this product, it was the formula in the black packaging, and I absolutely LOVED it. I recently used it all up so I purchased a new one. I tried it on but the shade had an ashy quality to it. I went to my local Sephora store and tried a different shade, which also looked a bit ashy. It was barely noticeable but my husband noticed it. I wish they would bring back the old formula and shades. This is a no go. For me. dark.
The HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Long Wear Pressed Powder delivers a smooth, flawless finish with excellent oil control. It provides a lightweight feel, lasting coverage, and a natural matte look.
Awesome powder foundation
This powder foundation is amazing. I have dry aging skin that tends to be blotchy and I need some light coverage but don’t want anything that will settle into lines. This powder foundation goes on velvety smooth and looks flawless. It’s not so long wearing though, but that’s ok
Mattifying and comfortable to wear
This mattifying powder foundation counteracts shine without looking patchy or cakey. My skin is prone to redness, and the powder evens out the tone nicely with medium coverage and a matte yet natural finish. Shade 1R12 looks darker than I expected in the compact, but it matches my skin once applied.
Looks beautiful on the skin!
I love how lightweight this powder is on the skin. It has great coverage that’s buildable and doesn’t look cakey on the skin. My skin is combination so I like applying this to my oily areas and it keeps them looking matte throughout the day. I love how easy this compact is to take with me on the go and the little sponge like applicator they included makes application so easy on the go!
Good but not great 🙂
Make Up Forever HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation 💕 I have mixed feelings about it 🤨 First, the good sides: the powder goes on smoothly and really helps to blur out imperfections on my skin. I love how it makes my face look soft and nice. It has a matte finish, which is great because I have oily skin, and it keeps the shine away for most of the day. The coverage is buildable, so I can use a little for a natural look or add more for better coverage when I need it....
Using this everyday!
I have stayed away from using powder foundation because they always tend to be cakey and heavy. But this one makes a whole difference. I have not stopped using this since I got it. We had a 20 hour drive and it held up pretty well even with mid day touch-ups. This is going to be a staple for me and would be recommending to everyone I know. This is that good!
Good for a powder
Ok i was super skeptical about this. I’m not a powder foundation girl because my skin is very dry. And when i tried the original formulation of this it made me feel itchy. But this is nice. I like it for summer. It gives me good coverage without feeling super dry or Cakey. I don’t like it with a sponge but with a brush it’s good for me.
Blurring effect to pores
This product is great at giving a blurring effect to your skin! I love that it comes with an applicator because it makes it so easy and convenient to use, in my routine or on the go. It covers and blends all of my pores so seamlessly. It’s light, yet buildable and extremely blendable.
This powder foundation looked best when applied with a dense brush on my combo skin. The sponge that comes with it has two textures but I thought either side left me looking a little too powdery. The coverage with a brush was light and pretty. I didn’t noticed this highlighting my texture or fine lines.
The perfect powder foundation for combo skin. I love how i can easily reapply through the day especially in the summer time i get oily in my T zone and this powder is super blurring and mattifying. It is very fine so it wont bother your skin.
I love this makeup forever HD skin matte velvet undetectable long wear powder foundation! I’ve been looking for a new pressed foundation powder and this actually has really good coverage and is easy to blend in my skin.
I have normal skin and i love using this powder as a setting powder and in the areas where i need more coverage. It is very blurring and keeps my face looks filtered! Works well with my other makeup products!
Amazing!
I have been a fan of makeup forever for a long time and I was so excited to receive this product in the mail! I love how the product looks on the skin, and how flawless of a finish it gives. I love the little sponge it comes with for application, and I love the compact case as well! thisbis such a great product to add to your collection if you like powder foundation.
Great foundation for oily skin!!!
I was gifted this product by Skeepers and Sephora for my honest opinion. I tend to have oily skin when applying foundation but when I applied this one by HD Skin it went on smoothly and lasted the whole night. If you have oily skin and are not satisfied with your foundation give this one a try you wont regret it.
Great addtion!
HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation by Makeup 4 ever is a great addition to your makeup bag. I love how sleek it is and easy to carry on. It doesn't leave any dry patches and looks very light.
Soft matte finish!
In hot summer months I enjoy wearing powder foundations more than liquid so I really liked this lightweight powder foundation. It’s very buildable (medium to full coverage) and blurs my skin really nicely! I have combination skin and it kept me matte all day long and I really liked that! The packaging is travel friendly and comes with a nice sized mirror and sponge applicator. I do prefer to apply the powder with a dense powder brush though as I get more coverage that way.
The palette itself is thick, sturdy plastic that latches and requires pushing in a button to open, so it's secure enough to toss in a purse without worry. The coverage is the best I've ever seen in a powder foundation, and that's just using the little sponge included in the palette. I'm usually a liquid foundation girl and I was stunned at how well it covered. It's matte but not too dry/dusty looking the way some powders are, the sort of matte of natural skin that's just been washed/dried...
I have dry skin with some texture across my cheeks and fine lines around my eyes. This powder foundation works really well for me despite all that!! I don’t put it right under my eyes, but my cheeks look great and the evening of my skin tone lasts all day! It reminds me of the compacts we wore in the early 2000s but WAY better!! The included sponge is a game changer for coverage and a smooth finish.
A new staple in my routine
As someone with combination skin that leans more on the oily side, I was on the hunt for a powder foundation that could provide a smooth, seamless finish while also controlling shine throughout the day. After trying out the MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation, I can confidently say this has become a new holy grail product for me. The first thing I noticed when applying this foundation is how finely milled and lightweight the powder is. It...
Satin finish powder foundation
This is a lovely powder foundation, but its description seems a little off. Rather than being medium-to-full coverage, I’d say this starts off much more sheer. It builds a bit, but I’d be surprised if you can get full coverage out of it. Also, I’m not sure I would call this a matte powder. It might be slightly mattifying, but it leaves more of a natural/satin finish, which I personally prefer to a matte one. This is very easy to apply with a brush and is quite forgiving. It’s not the most...
Long wearing foundation
I received something in exchange for this post Make Up For Ever HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation. A lightweight, medium-to-full coverage powder foundation that blurs the look of imperfections and mattifies for up to 24 hours for a natural, real-skin finish. This compact powder foundation complete with a mirror and sponge applicator is perfect for all occassions: whether that be instant touch ups on-the-go, finshing look or wearing alone as powder...
High Buildable Coverage!
Very nice powder foundation. I have very oily skin and large pores so a powder foundation that touches up nicely and doesn't accentuate my pores is a must. This powder ticks those boxes. My favorite method for this powder foundation application is with a fluffy brush and a base primer. I do enjoy that this comes with a nice applicator sponge for on the go touch-ups. The buildable coverage that this powder offers is so fantastic, probably the highest amount of coverage I've been able to...
Must have
It did last for hours! It matched my skin tone exactly as I am olive skinned but it matched so well my skin seemed to absorb it. As a result, it took layers to achieve a good coverage. Happy with this cover and will continue to use it! Highly recommend
This might be my favorite powder foundation. I like that it’s buildable coverage, so on days where I just want to look natural I can wear a very light layer just to even out my skin tone and cover up my discoloration. The packaging is cool too. I noticed looking at others online that the packaging color matches the shade you chose.
So smooth!
Makeup forever always has the most versatile selection for powders and shades. I used this product after foundation and it left my skin extremely matte and flawless. I would highly recommend for combination skin it covers up acne spots well!
Powder foundations have my heart and this one is so perfect! The application is so simple and easy. I love how it evens my skin tone without having to cake it on. Sometimes with powder foundation, it looks obvious that I have makeup on but this one blurs my skin. I love the size of this compact bc it’s so easy to take on the go! Also, it comes with a sponge for easy application! Love this so much!
Great powder foundation
I love a good powder foundation and with this heat I need one that can stay and mattify my skin. This HD skin matte velvet blurring powder foundation is wonderful! I love that the coverage is buildable and it definitely keeps my oily skin at bay
Long lasting in the summer heat!
My new favorite powder is this HD Skin Matt Velvet powder! The powder goes on smoothly, covering all the imperfections. Perfect powder for the summer time and especially if you have oily to combination skin.
Beautiful, buildable finish
When this arrived I panicked a little because I thought the shade was too dark (which is totally on me), but figured worst case scenario - it'll make a good bronzer. I applied with the included sponge initially and was pleasantly surprised at how nicely it blended and matched my skin! It's got a sponge side and a velvety side, and I much prefer the velvety side. However - this foundation REALLY shines for me when I apply with a brush. It gives a really natural, matte, blurring finish that...
This product goes on very smoothly and I enjoy it because you can cake it on for a very blurred look or you can smear it into your skin for a less blurred look on your skin! The packaging is adorable and has everything right there for you!
Perfect for touch ups!!
In love with this powder its is perfect for this hot summer. It helps makeup stay all day without casing it to separate. Its a perfect powder for touch up threw out the day. And the shade match is just right Im a lil darker then usually but it blends in just right.
This is a beautiful powder foundation. I have never tried a powder foundation before this so this is my first one but I enjoyed it especially if you put it on on top of a skin tint. Would recommend as a multitasker
How nice! I was very impressed at how quickly I was out-the-door ready with this silky foundation powder that glides on the skin. I appreciate the dual-sided applicator sponge that allows for variable coverage amounts. Often, my skin has some post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or melasma that I want to cover up, and this easily helps it! It lasts through the day and really blends well into the skin and evens out my tone. The compact itself is a nice size with a good mirror and looks like a...
I absolutely love this powder foundation. I loved the old formulation & this one is even better. It gives you great coverage and isn’t cakey. I love wearing this in the summer when I just want something lightweight & easy. It works great on its own, used as a setting powder or to touch up throughout the day. I just love it so much!
One product does more than 2!
I am almost 37 and am extremely particular with my base makeup because of combination dry cheeks and oily t-zone, along with large pores on my cheeks. I can only use and be happy with products that don't settle into my fine lines, pores and dry spots and I have to say, this product is not only great with that, but also covers my sun spots pretty well too! I love the handy compact with it's extra wide mirror and the sponge is quite unique. One side is a normal makeup sponge, one side is...
Flawless foundation
This makeup forever hd skin matte velvet long wear blurring powder foundation in the shade 1N14 beige is my perfect match. It looks so nice on my skin, it’s almost like I have a filter on. The compact is easy to bring on the go for touchups throughout the day. I just press and roll this foundation on and it gives me flawless results.
In exchange for my review this new foundation powder. I definitely have the wrong shade as it is much to dark for my skin and want applying over a dewy base very well. So I ended up using it as a bronzer which worked really well. I’m not sure that I like it as a foundation and do not like the sponge.
This has got to be my favorite foundation as I got it in exchange for this post and I love it. I love the way it feels when I apply out on my face. It has a really nice texture to it when applied I highly recommended.
Flawless finish
As someone with combination skin that loves to throw a midday shine party, I was on the hunt for a miracle. Enter Make Up For Ever HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation in 1R02. My skin concerns? Redness, uneven texture, and pores that feel the size of Texas some days. Application is a breeze: I use the included sponge, starting with the logo side for coverage and blending out with the plain side for an airbrushed finish. The result? A flawless, matte complexion that...
It was definitely difficult to pick my shade using the pictures available online. I end up getting a shade that is extremely yellow and too dark for my skin. The formula itself is highly pigmented mild and beautiful on the skin, but I think you might need to try this on to get the right shade
I am a certified powder hater ! As someone with dry over 40 skin powder isn’t my friend’l, however this powder is amazing! Its light weight doesn’t look heavy and adds when using a light hand a touch of coverage ! It’s a solid powder !
I have medium skin tones with rosy undertone and this powder foundation matches my skin tone so well. It blurs out the pores and just has a nice natural look. I have combination skin so it even helps that oily T zone area.
I guess I’m a powder girly now
This my first time trying Make Up For Ever and I am already IN LOVE! First of all I am not a powder girl and I think it’s because I’m really oily and sometimes I have issues with products staying on like they should. But this HD Skin powder foundation is so good!!! It must be the quality because I’ve tried some other products and nothing has worked for me like this has. It blurs and gives you a matte finish for HOURS! Literally I went on the whole day without worrying I was going to look...
Soft yet great coverage
Been looking for an alternative option for days when I feel like my skin is a little more oily and I want something that provides good coverage while still feeling light. The HD Skin Matte Velvet Powder Foundation is a great option. I feel like it definitely helps blur out my pores while still feeling soft and not super dry or cakey. I also really like that it feels like something I can toss I. My purse and use for touch ups throughout the day!
Must try!!
My new go to makeup product! I love that it is a buildable foundation powder with excellent coverage and blurring effects! I sometimes use it as a setting powder whenever i wear liquid foundations. Overall an excellent multi purpose product.
I was so excited to try this out. I love the compact and how easy it is to throw it in a bag and take it with you. I have some dark spots and this was really good at covering them up. It didn’t make my face look cakey and it applied really smoothly
Good Powder
After using this powder, my first impression of this is literally wow! First off the packaging is so sturdy and secure, I would feel very confident packing this when I travel. It is also super convenient to have the included tool which helps the powder blend seamlessly into my skin. I have combo skin and this powder further helps secure my makeup in place for 8+ hrs. It’s seriously so easy to use and super versatile. I use it to set my makeup in the morning and also for quick touch ups in...
I am someone with very uneven skin from acne who struggles to find foundations that will cover but also not clog my pores. Powder foundation is something that I have tried, but I have never found the right one. This product is a game changer and the included sponge works well to apply it. The product itself is very compact and easy to throw in a bag on the go.
This powder is great. It provides full coverage and blurs the skin. The packaging is sleek and comes with a sponge to apply. Using the sponge gives more coverage where a brush will give a little less. My skin looked great all day.
Must have for oily skin!
Im absolutely in love with this powder foundation! First , the packaging is compact and comes with a mirror which makes it convenient to carry around. The texture is soft and velvety and blends nicely. It’s perfect for oily skin because it has blurring effect and keeps the skin matte. Lasts long day and makes the skin look radiant.
The HD Skin Matte Velvet Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation in 2R28 Cool Sand delivers exceptional coverage with a lightweight feel. This foundation excels in creating a flawless matte finish that lasts throughout the day, seamlessly blurring imperfections and minimizing the appearance of pores.

Flawless look!
Makeup forever matte velvet powder foundation looks flawless on my skin! I’m in love with the professional look it has. My makeup lasted my whole work shift and didn’t budge! The foundation definitely blurred my imperfections and made me look photo ready!
I was very enthusiastic and excited to try this product but unfortunately it arrived broken. I would like you to please take care of the vulnerable and fragile packages so that this type of accident does not continue to happen and so the client can enjoy and treat at ease.
Mega Matte
The qualities that I liked the most about this powder foundation were that it really helped even out my skin tone. I have oily skin and this instantly achieved a matte complexion and eliminated shine. I also appreciate the built in mirror and application was easy with the sponge tool provided, it was perfect for carving out the cheekbones. For me this was an impeccable shade match (1Y08), a swatch on my arm was almost undetectable. Coverage is pretty good but I wouldn’t call it full...
I was surprised at how smooth my skin was after using this. Didn’t feel dry like some other powders make my skin feel. Truly a blurring powder. Worn with primer and setting spray and stayed on for my full work day. New fav
Velvet skin
This powder foundation is really matiffying and blurring my skin does look like a velvety finish I can really see the difference between my skin with and without the use of this powder although I do love using it to set my face because I usually just use concealer not foundation and it’s such a great combo!!
I have two of these foundations in different shades. Really great if you have oily or combination skin. I will say, get a shade lighter. I got medium neutral and it looked more tan but really full coverage.
This is a beautiful matte finish foundation. The packaging is sleek and the perfect size for carrying on the go. The longwear formula is perfect for wearing makeup during the warm summer months. I didn’t really have to worry about it melting off.
This is more a review of Sephora for sending me a totally unusable product then telling me there was nothing they could do but have me ship it back and see if it is eligible for refund. Incredibly disappointed that they would send a product in this condition then have it be the customers issue. Wish I could review the product but as you can see it was unusable.
Not over drying
This stuff really does it exactly what it claims to do and is really matte but without being over drying or making my skin look like it has cracks in it! It’s a velvet smooth finish and for sure full coverage!
Great powder!
Very good product that has a lot of coverage. I actually used this as a setting powder and it worked really well. My only issue was the price.🫣
Portable and perfect for your purse
I typically use liquid foundations as my preferred foundation type. Using this powder foundation by Makeup Forever was a real treat to try for the first time. I love how compact it is and how fun and easy it is to open it. I can take this anywhere I go to retouch my makeup while I’m commuting. The fact that it comes with the included powder puff is brilliant! I have an oily skin type, so this suits my concerns perfectly!!
Loving this foundation so far! Have been using as foundation and setting powder too. It looks flawless and really does have that blurring effect but if say it's medium to light coverage. Love the compact it comes in.
MUST FOR THE SKIN!
omg it feels so good on the skin! it looks great , no smells which is amazing & it’s very affordable! the build up is incredible & i would use this on my every day routine! i loved it & would buy it again
Great packaging and product
Love it! The packaging is first off so efficient. I love thst you get both a sponge and a mirror for easy application. Got a shade a bit darker but was able to use it as a beautiful bronzer. Really high quality product that blends like skin despite being a powder product.
Great compact
I was so sad that this was cracked up upon arrival, but I was still able to try it and it was not completely ruined!( Just one corner) sponge was great and the color was perfect! I love the way it makes my skin look and feel.
love the formula
I was very impressed by the makeup forever HD Skin Matte Velvet foundation. Being that it is a matte powder foundation and I have dry skin I wasn't sure how it would look. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looked! It did not clingy to any dry patches. It felt like I was not even wear foundation. Really love this one.
This powder foundation has good coverage that helps to hide my imperfections. This feels lightweight on my skin and blends in well. I do not find it to be patchy or anything. It feels good on and it provides a natural looking finish that I like. Shade finder was a perfect match.
Great foundation
This product is great! I love how smooth it feels on the skin and is super easy to apply with the included sponge. It gives great coverage and a smooth matte look that I prefer for the summer since I tend to be oily. It wears well throughout the day and doesn’t cause patchiness.
The Blurring powder from HD Skin has really helped my skin look flawless! I have some areas that tend to get red as well as some other skin imperfections. This blurring powder does just that, it blurs my imperfections to give me a nice, even skin tone.
Amazing!
I’ve been searching for a powder foundation that actually has coverage and does not cling on my dry patches or texture, this is definitely the one! This formula is very lightweight but I can actually make this full coverage if needed while still looking like skin. This is very silky, blurring, and actually helps to matify my problem areas and large pores! I love using this with something lightweight underneath like a BB cream or skin tint, but it’s also perfect on its own! I use this with a...
I am very surprised by this product I’ve tried powder foundation before but most of them never worked after hours of wearing they don’t last long but this product is a very long wearing product and has great coverage.
So good!
If you have oily skin, you will love this powder foundation! Do you guys remember the old MUFE powder foundation formula? I used to love it but it was very powdery once you tried to build it up? This one is so much better! After your skins oils set in this powder looks so skin like and beautiful. You need it! Plus it doesn’t oxidize!
Smooth finish
I have both very oily and rather dry parts. This powder works great on all areas! It gives me a smooth, soft, polished look. A small layer is enough and applies easily and quickly. Love the sponge included and the portability!
Beautiful formula shade didn’t work
The feel of this powder is smooth like butter. Has a nice velvet silky feel going on to the skin. Blends into the skin like a dream. Unfortunately the color I received was too dark for my skin tone for all over
Make up forever HD skin matte powder foundation is my favourite it is so light weight and blends so well on skin without so much extra efforts. I choose 2R28 colour which exact match of my skin. This powder foundation is perfect in summer makeup routine.
Perfection
Make Up Forever nailed it with their HD Skin Matte Velvet Lingwear Blurring Powder Foundation! It is so smooth, lightweight and good quality product. Packaging is top notch as well. It wears good throughout the day and I would deffinately recommend.
lovely powder!
makeup forever always owns the game with their new launches! i love this powder foundation to get rid of any oiliness on my face and even out my skin tone. I felt like the tone match was spot on and the powder is very soft and easy to blend.
A must!
Loved the finish of this product!! I have oily skin that always requires some type of matte product to control that and this does just that. I used the tool included to apply this and it was perfect and easy. The small compact really makes it versatile to put it in my purse & bring it on the go.
I am very impressed by the finish of this powder! It is silky, and does not create a patchy look, especially under the eyes. It looks very seamless. I ordered this a shade lighter than my normal shade for my undereye concealer, and it made it look so smooth! I recommend this.
GREAT FOUNDATION, GLIDES ON VERY SMOOTH AND DOESN'T CLUMP IN CREASES AND PORES. GIVES FLAWLESS COVERAGE AND IS REALLY GOOD AT COVERING BLEMISHES. I MAINLY WEAR FOR REDNESS COVERAGE AND IT DID A VERY GOOD JOB. OVERALL I WOULD MODERATELY RECOMMEND
The best full coverage powder foundation period. It applies very smooth with no cakeyness. The lasting power is great for a solid 8 hour. The only think I wish is the color selection. 1R2 is too pink for me but the next shade is too yellow.
Great foundation
Absolutely loving the this foundation! It gives such a flawless finish that feels weightless on my skin. I've been using it daily, and it really does blur imperfections while keeping my complexion matte yet natural-looking all day long. Definitely my new go-to.
A great blurring foundation powder
I was excited to try this as is it’s warm in this middle of summer and I wanted something light to give my skin great coverage yet my skin remains breed able. This comeback was easy to use. I loved the large mirror and the included puff. The powder is easy to apply to the face and gives coverage to light spots and dark circles. It’s light to wear on its own or foundation.
I haven’t been impressed with a pressed powder foundation in such a long time. I love the shade ranges and the fact that it comes with a sponge which is perfect to take with you on-the-go. It works perfectly on my combination oily skin. It mattifies, seals, and smooths the skin. It has incredible coverage. It makes my skin look airbrushed. I will definitely be keeping this product within arm’s reach!
Awesome formula!
I love this brand so much! This is a light weight formula, but it provides a full coverage. Didn't leave my face feeling cakey, which is a must in the Texas heat. The packaging is well made, and the shade matched nicely. I'll be able to use in the summer and will warm up my complexion in the winter.
Highly recommended!
I recently tried the HD Skin Matte Velvet Powder from Make Up For Ever and it has become an essential part of my daily makeup routine. The powder perfectly evens out skin tone, concealing imperfections and creating a matte effect without weighing it down. It lasts all day, keeping my skin fresh and matte, even in hot and humid weather. The compact packaging makes it easy to carry around and touch up your makeup throughout the day. This powder is perfect for those who want to achieve a...
My new favorite!
It applies smoothly and evenly, covering the skin well without feeling heavy or cakey. As a medium to full coverage foundation, it provides excellent coverage without looking cakey or obvious. It covers blemishes, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation effectively, but still looks like second skin.
I enjoyed this powder foundation a lot. It didn’t leave me looking cakey but it provided amazing coverage. It kept me looking matte but not dry. I didn’t need to touch up throughout the day & it looked great at the end of the night. Overall, I enjoyed the powder foundation a lot & enjoy applying it with the applicator it came with or a powder puff.
Great for on the go
Enjoying the versatility of this powder. It has a comfortable feel while still making skin look matte. I used this as CD a powder foundation a while back, but now also enjoy it as a finishing powder or touch up powder. The slim packaging is what makes this one if my go to powders for travel. The sponge bc applicator is also great quality.
A must have
I absolutely love this matte foundation . I’m new to using power foundation because I’m usually a liquid type of girly but this has definitely converted me ! I love how seamless it glides on and it feels like I’m not wearing anything . Perfect for the summer and giving a natural look . Make sure you have a great primer and setting spray as well to make it last .
Powder foundation
I love this foundation powder. it is blurring and creaseless. It is medium to full coverage and gives a beautiful finish. It does not dry out the skin or oxidize. It is mattifying and super eay to use
So buttery
I feel like this really helped. Keep my T-zone modified throughout the wear it glides on so smooth and doesn’t leave a Kiki finish it blurs my pores and fine lines. I’m able to use it on my under eyes, my T-zone or all over my face. I used my Valore Powderpuff to apply and sweeping motions and I felt that gave me the best results.
summer foundation staple!
I absolutely love this foundation! I tend to for for powder foundation in the summer, and this one is top notch! it applies seamlessly, and the shade match was perfect for me! its very easy to were under any products as well.
compact coverage
I have heard over and over about the rave of this powder foundation from many beauty influencers and the beauty advisors in sephora. After finally committing i can say that it is absolutely amazing. The texture is soft and enough coverage while still gentle on my oily skin. I prefer this on those no makeup makeup days it’s such an easy step and compact for on the go touch ups.
I love!
This powder foundation covered all my redness and uneven skintone with one swipe. I love how it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing any product and doesn’t clog my pores at all. I would recommend getting a lighter shade
Obsessed with this foundation!
Great foundation!! Love the matte velvet finish and easy application! I really was able to pick the correct shade which made me so happy! I find myself reaching for this foundation and wanting it use it so frequently! It is compact and easy to travel with without fear or spilling which is amazing for a frequent traveler like me!!
Good for me!
As soon as I got home from work I was sooo excited to wear this!!!! It came and I ran out and had to put it on! It’s good packaging and the color matched close to me! I really like it, especially since it’s not really scented which a lot of foundations try to do now days. Which I hate, but I like this powder it’s soft and covered my pimples that I get from stress. I have dry skin so I just peeped which is face wash, vitamin C, hylaronic acid and my moisturizer (always sunscreen).
The color match was perfect. I was a bit disappointed by how easy it breaks in the pan but the product itself is by far my new favorite. I don’t find that it enhances my dry spots but it leaves me with soft blurred pores.
great buildable powder that looks like skin
This powder is beautiful! The coverage, finish, and build on it is *chef's kiss* . Make Up For Ever always kills in the complexion department. I love this on days I don't want to do a full face and being oily this is great for touch ups during the day.
In love with this HD foundation. I haven’t used powder foundation since the early 2000s, so I was definitely a little scared but it turned out so perfect. Makeup Foreve as a whole is a great brand. I love it!
I already really loved this powder and how it sets my makeup and helps it last all day so I decided to get my bronzer shade in this formula. I absolutely love how it blends out without being patchy and blends beautifully on the skin. 10/10 recommend
Works well!
Amazing! Really blends in with my skin tone! I have pretty dark eyebags and this has helped them minimize the appearance of them! I also use this on acne scars and it blends them out really well! No scent which is good although it’s not super full coverage but it doesn’t something so I don’t mind
Must have
The HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation glides on flawlessly. Reduced my redness and oils, leaving me with a matte look. I apply at lightweight and work up too medium coverage. You can also work up too full coverage. The compact is great on the go, has a button to push open. I'm happy to say I found my summer time foundation!
This foundation is so blurring and beautiful. Most powder foundations feel super dry on me, but this one has a velvet-like, and soft feeling. It looks so natural and is great for this hot summer weather.
Love it
Obsessed with this! I like to use it best almost as a setting powder to go over my liquid foundation when I want a more fuller coverage look or want my makeup to stay longer. It’s definitely mattifying and doesn’t look cakey at all on the skin. Highly recommend!
This powder foundation is so easy to apply. I prefer a lighter coverage finish, so I use a powder brush. There is a cool includes makeup sponge that is sponge like on one side and like a makeup poof on the other. I have combination skin and it didn't cling to my pores or a couple of dry spots. I also have very red cheeks, which the powder fully covered up. I still need concealer on active acne and dark circles, but it covers little imperfections so well. It did feel a little drying after a...
Wow can we talk about how cute and useful this compact is? I love how big the mirror is. This will be a staple in my purse from now on. Also appears to be refillable which is really nice. I got it in the shade 2N34 and it's pretty spot on. The formula it self plays well with my primer and sunscreen. Covers up the hyperpigmentation I have on my forehead and even does a good job of covering the redness in my t-zone. As an oily girly powder foundations can be hit or miss but so far this one has...
A must have in a great routine
I was gift this as a free trial. It goes on quite nicely for me. Blends in well for my skin color. It doesn't not seem like it irrational my skin. It covers an blemishes on my face an makes me look great.
This was my first time ever using a powder foundation and I am so impressed. I have a very oily face but literally as soon as I applied this foundation any shine I had disappeared! Also the coverage is perfect. The more you apply the more coverage you’ll get.
I'm pretty impressed with this powder foundation! The coverage is medium, but you can build it up to full if you want. It covers my post-acne marks and looks buttery smooth! I'm in love. Perfect for my combo skin!
I love this setting powder and how seamless it makes my makeup look. I use this as the final step with a powder puff and it makes my makeup look matte and not oily at all. It lasts all day long too! Love it
Delivers!
Make up forever is always producing quality. I love how this doesn’t take up over the course of the day even though it is about 80° outside and I am moving about I like a mat finish so I don’t look sweaty. I would highly recommend.
Nice Foundation
This foundation provides a flawless matte finish that lasts all day without caking or creasing. My skin look smooth and even. It’s perfect for those with oily skin, as it controls shine. Plus, it’s lightweight and I couldn’t tell it was on.
I’m a big fan of all the makeup forever products and this looks like a great full coverage powder foundation that can also be a little more sheer when used with a powder brush instead of sponge! I just need to get a different shade to match better
