An excellent foundation. Not quite the elusive 'perfect foundation' but very close. A thick, soufflé textured foundation that is packaged in a little glass pot.

L'OREAL MATTE MORPHOSE - 140 CREAMY NATURAL

*Ease of use 4/5
I apply this foundation with a brush and I find this gives me the smoothest, most even coverage. The thick soufflé texture makes it easy apply evenly. I do find I need to use my fingertips to blend it in under my eyes to stop it drying quite as quickly.

*Coverage 5/5
I think the coverage is fantastic and hides a multitude of flaws (blemishes, redness, pores). This is the thickest foundation that I personally have ever worn, yet my friends have not noticed the difference and still believe I wear minimal makeup! This is the best foundation I have tried for covering imperfections.

*Appearance 4/5
The matte effect works well at hiding any oiliness and shine. However, it also has a tendency to make skin look slightly dull and lose that youthful glow. I never really believed in all that 'luminosity' hype, but I really have noticed the difference in photos.

*Durability 4/5
The product lasts reasonably well on an average day. Just to point out that I always wear powder ontop of my foundation. Sometimes after a long day it can tend to look slightly patchy but a quick application of powder usually helps to sort that out.

Overall I would rate this product 4/5. I think the coverage is fantastic and as yet have not found anything to beat it however, the downside was that because of the matte effect , skin can look a little dull and lose that healthy glow. If it wasn't for this disadvantage then Matte Morphose would certainly be my perfect foundation!
