I have lately been a fan of Make up Academy, especially since after I tried their eye shade palates. Made me fall in love with them even more then my Naked's. This foundation has been in my use for about a week now.
MUA is known for its dirt cheap prices, and this was the same, the foundation cost me PKR350 for 35 ml from just4girls.pk. Now since the price tag is so cheap I did not expect anything fancy from this foundation at all.
So MUA claims this to have a matte finish and keep shine at bay all day long. Which is a very bold claim.
This particular tube hold 35 ml and its probably the cheapest foundation you will find. The packaging is very simple, a beige plastic tube with a white screw on cap, and a small sticker on the front telling you the shade.
The claim of giving matte effect is completely wrong! It does not mattify your skin rather it gives dewy finish. If you want complete matte effect setting this foundation with a good powder is extremely important or else your foundation will slip away soon.I could notice that there is glitter embedded in the cream. When you apply and face strong light, the glitter particles are going to shine. It's a very subtle shimmer which has the effect of brightening the skin beautifully rather than making you look glittery, but nonetheless it's there and it does not give a matte effect.
The foundation has a very thick consistency for a liquid foundation, and the smell is the biggest let down, smells plasticky.
Quite easy to blend despite the thickness and provides medium coverage, I mean for me this is a light day time foundation, as it doesn't even feel heavy on the skin.
It comes in 3 shades Fair, Natural and Almond, I choose almond which is the darkest. Suitable for people with normal, dry and combination skin. As for the oily skin it doesn't stay on for more then 2-4 hours.
I don't think its on my repurchase list, this was just a thing I tried.
