My go-to for over 20 years!
I have been using the loose powder for over 20 years and when they came out with the matte, I was even more hooked. I have tried all the other foundations as well - which are wonderful, but I always come back to this one. My skin looks natural, flawless and is protected with the SPF as well.

FAQs

What finish and coverage does ORIGINAL MATTE provide?

This lightweight, talc-free foundation delivers buildable sheer-to-full coverage with a matte finish and all-day wear.

Will this foundation clog pores or cause breakouts?

No—it's non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic, and won’t clog pores or settle into fine lines.

Does it have SPF protection?

Yes, it provides broad-spectrum SPF 15 with mineral sunscreens Titanium Dioxide (15%) and Zinc Oxide (5%).

How do I apply ORIGINAL MATTE for best results?

Swirl a small amount in the cap with the Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush, tap off excess, then buff in circular motions; repeat to build coverage.

How does it help control shine?
