I was so excited to buy this foundation because I have a really oily t zone, which causes my make up to melt off by noon most days. I really loved this foundation at first, because it really did keep me matte. But as I looked at myself in the mirror, I began to discover lines and bumps and grooves in my face that I had never seen before! I literally looked ninety years old! So while this foundation is definitely matte, it may be a little bit too matte! It would probably be best for those of us who have very, very oily skin.
