Final Verdict
It's not a foundation I would ever repurchase. The market this foundation is targeting is those with oily skin. Yes, it does start off as a matte/satin finish, but how long it lasts that way is questionable since only 2 hours into wear I noticed my oil was coming through. 
Along with oily skin comes blemishes and problematic skin, and yet this foundation didn't conceal those concerns. 
It had claimed to be a pore minimising foundation and yet my pores were visible and emphasised. 
I did however, enjoy the natural finish it initially gave my skin, but the finish isn't enough for me to be convinced in buying it again - I'm all about the lasting power and how well it maintains my complexion throughout the day. 
It doesn't live up to it's actual product name "Matte+Poreless". 
All I am is confused when I use this product, fair enough it doesn't suit my skin type (oily combination) and yet how can it suit normal/dry when it emphasis and clings to dry patches? Not too sure where they were going with this one but it was a miss. 

How did you guys find this foundation? How did you guys make it work?

    This foundation is the one I use all the time, I agree it has a natural finish, but I don't think it's for anyone with oily or dry skin, I have pretty even skin, I think it's good to have a light natural coverage to even out slight pigmentation but that's it. If your looking for fuller coverage this is not there product. But having said this I do love using it, it's my fave liquid foundation cause it does stay light and lasts for my skin type. Good review!

DIY Make Up Brush Cleaner

Image
Keeping your make up tools clean is a very important step when it comes to make up and skin care.  I do a regular spot clean, but spot cleaning isn't enough. Without deep cleaning your make up brushes they will hoard and make the perfect home for bacteria - a big no no for your skins well being.  Not only do you want a deep cleaning solution that will get the most deepest and stubborn of make up out, but one that is soft and gentle on the bristles.  I am a huge fan of AprilJustinTV on youtube (yes this story is going somewhere) and she always talks about this home made solution she found on the internet and it works absolute wonders for her make up brushes. I had to google it.  It turned out so great, cleaning my brushes has never been any easier. Takes less than half the time it use to. I just have to share the DIY solution with you guys!   What You Will Need: - Your brushes that need a good clean - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Soap (I prefer our ge...
