THE VERDICT:

There are some days that you want to wear foundation, but sans the heavy feel and coverage yet still,  you want it to be long- lasting. You'll find a bunch of these foundations at Make Up For Ever such as Face and Body Foundation, Ultra HD Liquid Foundation, and recently, Make Up For Ever Light Velvet Lumi- Mat Cushion, their take on the famous cushion foundation of today. This light, long- lasting liquid foundation has high SPF and comes in a travel- friendly, hygienic compact!

Make Up For Ever Light Velvet Cushion is a lightweight foundation that claims to last for 12 hours, has SPF 50+/PA++++, and has hydrating factors that keep skin hydrated +22% for 6 hours. There are about 6 shades, if I am not mistaken; I tried looking for this product in the official website, but I was redirected to either Singapore or Philippines' regional sites so I believe this product is Asia- exclusive only. But feel free to correct me!

One of the USPs of the product is the hygienic compact packaging; instead of using a cushion, Make Up For Ever used a compact-tray packaging that delivers the product at command, which means less waste and more hygienic usage. Another product that comes to mind with the same packaging is Estee Lauder Double Wear Cushion.

Y315, according to the SA is the darkest in the range. I'm Y315 in Ultra HD Foundation, Face and Body Foundation, and Ultra HD Stick Foundation of the same brand as well. Love the consistency of Make Up For Ever's shade range! But for this one, is lighter than the rest because of the high SPF content. Texture is a light cream, has no scent, finish is dewy matte, feels extremely light yet provides good medium coverage.

Bare skin

One layer of Light Velvet Lumi- Mate Foundation

Most of the time, I only use one layer because it tends to look really light on me because of the high SPF content and then I only apply a second layer using the same product on the areas that have discoloration.

TBJ TIP: Use the sponge that comes along with it because it works with it fairly well. Just dab on the product on your skin to get the most out of the formula.

Staying power is great: 5 hours before my t-zone oils up and it feels comfortable on the skin. For very oily skin, this may be less so make sure to wear with primer.

This is a good daily foundation because it has SPF, feels very light (I've mentioned this a lot of times already because really, it is!), has great staying power, and overall, easy to wear and use. It's for those casual days where you won't be photographed because it will yield a white cast. I just wish that there in the future, there's a way for them (and for brands in general) to make foundation suitable for warmer skin tones despite the high SPF.
