Based on a review by Tati (accessed 2026-03-16).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about amazing, non-shiny, porcelain matte look — just accept not suitable for those who dislike a matte finish.
The reviewer concluded that she only keeps "A+ products" after an extensive declutter of her makeup collection. She highly recommends specific matte foundations (MAC, NYX), skin tints (Versed, CoverGirl, MAKE Beauty, Victoria Beckham), bronzers (Milani), under-eye perfectors (Krice), concealers (NYX, KFI), powders (Number Seven, Shantic Kai), blushes (Kiko, Hung Van Go), lip plumpers (Buxom, L'Oreal), and setting sprays (L'Oreal Infallible, Wet n Wild, CoverGirl Milky). She particularly praises products for their clean formulations, wearability, and performance against high-end alternatives.
This video features a comprehensive review of various makeup products across different categories, highlighting both drugstore and luxury options. The reviewer shares her 'best of the best' selections for matte foundations, skin tints, bronzers, under-eye perfectors, concealers, powders, cream shadows, blushes, lip plumpers, and setting sprays. She evaluates products based on performance, feel, and ingredient profiles.
This matte foundation is highly recommended for achieving a non-shiny, porcelain look that locks in shine without cakiness. The reviewer, with normal-to-dry skin, found it comfortable to wear and suitable for oily skin types, performing exceptionally well in situations requiring sweat resistance. It stands out as one of the few high-end matte foundations she kept after an extensive declutter, affirming its superior wear and finish. If you seek a reliable, long-wearing matte foundation that controls oil and looks natural, this product is worth considering. However, if you prefer a dewy finish, this might not be the ideal choice.

I can wear this comfortably if I want something that's not shiny, if I know I'm going to be sweaty, if I want that more porcelain matte look and I really want to lock in the shine without being cakey or crunchy.

Phenomenal, gorgeous, truly does wear all day long.

If you do have oilier skin, it will break down a little bit faster. You're going to notice you need powder more quickly.

This has an SPF in it as a bonus. You've got good SPF coverage.

This beat out Chanel. Like, I love this one so much more than the Chanel that I spent 70 plus dollars on.

It has Pujial skincare ingredients. It feels so fresh and good on the skin.

The best one at the drugstore is from Milani. This is an amazing formula. It feels quite similar. You can see as I'm rubbing it, kind of goes down into the same thing.

This as far as formulation didn't have too much junkiness going on in it. It's not going to clog your pores. It blends well. It wears well.

I put the ingredients in twice and I got the green check mark... Like this is crazy because almost every other product out there has like an endocrine disruptor... This is a clean formula.

These right here from Krice, these under eye perfectors that are perfection that work so gorgeously, better than Nars. I literally got rid of my Nars one, my Becca one. This is the only under eye perfector I have left. This is the best one. It's just the creamiest. It does not crease.
reviewer_claimpositive
Beautiful, gorgeous. It does have nice coverage but it's not bulky, cakey, heavy.
reviewer_claimpositive
Beautiful, silky, creamy. This one is phenomenal.
reviewer_claimpositive
This formula is so silky. There's not a lot of kickback... It is just beautiful. Beautiful. reminds me an awful lot of the formula on Hung Van Go. They are both creamy but more matte. They blur. They wear really, really well.
reviewer_claimpositive
They haven't really revamped the formula. like they come out with stains and creams, but their like original glosses have stayed very true to the original formula and it's one of the best out there... This is such a beautiful truly plumping creamy.

Get L'Oreal Infallible. It will lock you in like you will not believe.
Tati recommends MAC Studio Fix Fluid for its ability to lock in shine without being cakey or crunchy, making it comfortable even for those with normal-dry skin who want a porcelain matte look. She also highly recommends NYX Make Em Wonder Soft Matte Foundation, describing it as phenomenal, gorgeous, and truly long-wearing for oily to combo skin types.
Tati is currently in her 'skin tint era' and finds them more comfortable than full coverage. She recommends Versed Skin Solution SPF 40 for easy application and good SPF coverage. CoverGirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Foundation is praised for beating out Chanel and containing 'Pujial skincare ingredients,' feeling fresh on the skin. For a luxury option, MAKE Beauty Diffusion Dew Radiant Skin Tint offers nice coverage and a beautiful radiant finish without feeling heavy. The Victoria Beckham Skin Tint is her 'Rolls-Royce,' treasured for its Augustina Batter peptide and 'magic in a bottle' effect.
While Tati states there's no exact dupe for the Dior cream bronzer's super creamy, blendable, and blurring effect, she identifies the Milani bronzer as the best drugstore option. She highlights its amazing formula that feels and rubs down into the skin similarly to the Dior, noting its good formulation free of 'junkiness' and non-pore-clogging properties.
Tati was 'blown away' by Krice's under-eye perfectors, confirming their 'clean formula' via an ingredient app. She describes them as 'perfection' that works 'gorgeously,' better than Nars and Becca, being the only under-eye perfector she kept after decluttering due to its creaminess and non-creasing properties. She also mentions a lighter wand form for thinner application.
Tati recommends light and thin concealers to pair with skin tints, favoring crease-resistant formulas that provide coverage without bulk. The NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum is praised for its beautiful coverage that isn't bulky, cakey, or heavy. The KFI concealer, available at Sephora, is also highlighted as a 'great concealer' that she's 'shocked by how good it is,' suitable for those wanting gentle, clean coverage with limited creasing.
After extensive decluttering of lip products, Tati declares Buxom glosses as the plumping lip glosses she kept the most of, noting their consistent, truly plumping and creamy formula. For a drugstore alternative, her 'very very favorite' is the L'Oreal Plump Ambition Hyaluron Lip Oil (specifically the oil, not the stain), which she describes as beautiful and long-wearing in milky nude shades.
Tati highly recommends the L'Oreal Infallible setting spray, stating it will 'lock you in like you will not believe' and is even better than many high-end options. For a more hydrating effect akin to MAC Fix Plus, she suggests Wet n Wild Take Your Vitamins for refreshing skin without making it oily, and CoverGirl Milky for its nourishing, gentle mist that comforts dry or tight skin.
