I bought this foundation on the recommendation of the girl and the beauty counter, and it is certainly matte which is great for oily skin. I have combination skin and some days it felt too dry or like a cast, and I always felt it was quite visible and couldn't be worn without a full face of makeup. The brush that came with it wasn't useful at all and the concealer is SUPER oily and doesn't stay put. I like to get my money's worth so I used the whole bottle, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Although oil-free, this foundation is very creamy to the touch yet has a matt finish with a subtle glow to it. It comes with a useful travel sized brush which scoops the foundation off the unusual shaped applicator. Or use a sponge or your fingers. Having the concealer in the lid is great - for a start it matches the foundation! it blends beautifully.
