Foundation I Can't Get Enough Of

I have very oily skin.  It's gross.  I want to be matte.  I am jealous of girls with dry skin.

I would go into work at Sephora and people would come up to me and be like, "Oh, I want to get the dewey look like you have!"  Oh, Really?! Well this is pure oil  oozing from my pores and I want to be matte!

I have used several different foundations to try and keep my skin matte. Everything from drug store to high end.  I have used mattifiers and everything else under the sun!  I have learned to embrace my oils, but that doesn't mean that I still don't look for a foundation or setting powder that will help me stay matte.

I used to use Matte Velvet my Make Up Forever and I was very happy with the product.  I didn't find a perfect match color wise, but I do really like it and the price is pretty on point.

Recently, Becca, came out with a foundation called Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme.  I took a sample to test out and I am really really really pleased with this foundation! It took me a few tried to find the perfect color, but there are 20 shades so I knew I would find a color I was happy with eventually.  Becca also has a matte foundation, but that didn't work for me.  It would pill up on my face and I would get all these little dots everywhere.  I wore it a few times and just gave up on it, so I was kind of hesitant to try this their UCCC, but when I saw how good it went on my clients, I knew I had to try it.

Ultimate Coverage Comlextion Cream foundation is for all skin types.  It is super pigmented so it gives your a full coverage look with out the cakeyness or dryness that some full coverage foundations do.  It also has over 20% water, so your skill will stay nice and hydrated when you wear this product.  If you feel like you get red, or have dark spots on your face, UCCC helps with hyper pigmentation so not only will it cover these spots, but they will fade form it over time!!!   I am happy to say that this foundation keeps me matte for longer then any foundation made specifically for oily skin.  It makes my skin look flawless.  Sometimes I notice when foundations sit in my pores on my nose and it bothers the Hell out of me! This has yet to do that.

I think the best way to apply this foundation, for me, is with a damp beauty blender.  I used my round kabuki brush to buff it into my skin, but it didn't sit right ton my face.  Also the primer that works best with it, for me,  is the Benefit Porefessional.  Next time you get a chance go to Sephora and pick up a sample and tell me what you think!
