Just the other day I found myself obsessing over once beloved MUFE Mat Velvet + Foundation. I could not find a decent shade for myself in the past so I had no other choice but to return it. Although recently it had sparked my interest again. So I decided that I would do some research and see if I could find a better and more appropriate shade. And in fact, I did! I picked up the shade 51.
Now this shade has very strong yellow undertones. If you are curious to know what other shades I wear I have another tab called, Only If You're Curious that lists all my shades. I wore this foundation recently to a few interviews. I found that it held up well, about 4-5 hours. It does look very fresh and flawless. I love the fact that it is oil-free just do to the fact that I have oily prone skin. So far it has not broken me in out in anyway *knock knock knock*. My skin can be so sensitive to certain cosmetics and products that it can be a problem finding a good product. I find that you do not necessarily have to set the foundation. It has a very nice matte finish and does not seem to oxidize too much. But I do have a pet peeve where if I can see the heavy foundation around the sides of your nose. So after I applied this foundation and allowed it to sit I did blot it a little bit with a tissue just so it didn't come over too heavy.
I have attached the information below for anyone who is interested (provided by Sephora.com):

Now I do not know whether or not the ingredients vary from shade to shade. If you have extremely sensitive skin and find yourself irritated with certain ingredients I would double check.
Corn Starch is one of the best mattifying agents out there. When people think of corn starch they automatically think that it is used for cooking. But to your surprise corn starch is actually found in many powders, just for that reason. It controls oil and helps keep them in control. Now when cyclopentasiloxane I would be careful. It is the chemical term for silicone. I know sometimes my pores can clog when I use certain primers with silicone. It is used a lot to help make makeup last and keep the makeup in place but it isn't for everyone. If we go down the list there is also dimethicone, glycerin, and mica that can be clog pores as well. Limonene on the other hand, you guessed it ! Is a form of lemon which carries Vitamin C which helps revitalize the skin and rejuvenate it so it looks fresher and brighter.
