Matte Foundation

When it comes to foundation, the options are seemingly endless. From full-coverage formulas to tinted moisturizers, there's a foundation out there for everyone. But if you have oily or combination skin, the decision can be more difficult. You want something that controls shine and gives you a nice matte finish — but you also don't want to look like you're wearing a ton of makeup. With the wide selection of matte foundation options at CVS, you're more likely to find the one that fits your needs. 

What are the Best Matte Foundation Brands?

Is Matte Foundation Good for Dry Skin?

If you have dry skin, you might be wondering if matte foundation is the right choice for you. The answer is: it depends. If your dryness is only occasional or in certain areas, then a matte foundation can actually help control shine and give your skin a more even appearance. However, if your dryness is more severe, you might want to steer clear of matte formulas, since they can sometimes highlight dry patches and make them more noticeable. 

If you have dry skin, use a hydrating foundation or one with a dewy finish. These formulas help add moisture back into the skin and give you a more natural-looking glow. 

Is Matte Foundation Good for Oily Skin?

A matte foundation is probably a good choice for most people with oily skin. However, if your oily skin is also sensitive, you might want to steer clear of ordinary matte foundations, which can sometimes be drying and irritating. A good alternative would be a formula designed for oily skin with ingredients that help control shine and keep your skin looking matte. 

How to Apply Matte Foundation

There are a couple of schools of thought when it comes to applying matte foundation. Some people prefer to use a brush, while others prefer a sponge. The important thing is to find the method that works best for you and your skin type. 

If you have oily skin, apply your foundation with a brush. This helps control shine and gives you a more even appearance. If you have dry skin, you can use a brush or a sponge. If you use a sponge, dampen it first so it doesn't absorb too much of the foundation. 

When applying matte foundation, start with a small amount and build up as needed. This gives you a more natural-looking finish. It's also important to set your foundation with a setting powder.
