I've been looking for a really good foundation that gives a matte finish, long-lasting and medium coverage. Most people would recommend the Revlon ColorStay foundation and the L'oreal True Match Foundation. Which I might just head down to the store and try it out but if you have any other foundations recommendations, please share.

Some of the foundations that I have used: Shiseido Dual Balancing foundation, Shu Uemura Uv Base foundation, MakeUp4ever HD foundation, ELF Studio Tinted Moisturizer and Maybellin Mousse foundation.

I hate the HD foundation. I used to use it for work and I was a waitress so I basically run throughout the day and it basically just disappear from my face. It does gives me medium-full coverage but I just don't like the texture of it since it was thick.

The Shu Uemura burned my skin I got it as a gift from my sister and wore it a few times but it literally just burned my skin. It felt hot and it wasn't easy for me to blend out. It didn't do any coverage for me and it dried out fast.

Shiseido's foundation feels lightweight however I get minimal coverage and I just feel like it disappear off from my skin after an hour

Maybellin was so thick for me and I wasn't able to blend in well and it dried really fast. It felt cakey and made me feel like I got slab on 3 inches of make up on my face.

I know this isn't a foundation but the tinted moisturizer was great at first but I've been using it for the past 4 months and it went from great to really bad. I mean it's a cheap brand and for the first 2 months it gave me great coverage and blends easily. However the last month, the tinted moisturizer breaks apart and didn't blend well.

Right now, I'm using Shiseido. It's okay for me cause I only use it when I go out for awhile but I definitely need a new foundation cause my new job requires me to stay on foot for 12 hours and run errands. The above was just a little review I guess and I hope it give you guys a clear picture of what I want my foundation to be. I'm open to any recommendations

ooooowh, i thought u meant pre-u foundation... now i know u meant make-up foundation. hahaha

KOSE's ESPRIQUE or SEKKISEI SUPREME are the best choices:

Nars sheer matte is pretty good too

I am a foundation junkie, I've a huge collection of foundation now, but mostly liquid foundy only.

However, the type that you prefer, matte, I'm not particularly fond of, because our face generally is not matte. Being matte looks too flat, so I like to choose foundation with a satin finish to make it look more natural.

However, you might have oily skin, so perhaps thus your choice. I could recommend you to use a oil-controlling primer so that your foundation keeps on longer.

My favourite one that doesn't slip away on my sweat-prone face, is the new DiorSkin Nude Foundation. It gives medium coverage, stays on pretty well, has a good selection of color match, doesnt emphasise flakes, spread relatively easily etc. My preference for it is that it looks natural even after several layers of build up.

Its DiorForever foundation counterpart is mighty good too. It gives a matte finish, and stays on for a long time, so probably that's what you might prefer. It's worth it to check it out in person.

That's my 2 cents, hope it helps somewhat. If you'd like recommendation for foundation of other finishes, or different effect, functions etc, I'd be glad to help. Like I said, I'm a foundation junkie.

p.s. And no, I'm not Dior's salesperson.
