* Please note: Magique Matte is for all skin types except very dry skin."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: The incredibly soft mousse was my first indication that this was a truly different type of foundation. I was suspicious that its light-as-air texture would mean less-than-ample coverage, but that wasn't the case. While the foundation was amazingly light and non-caking, it still evened out my skin tone and gave a radiant finish. And staying power? I didn't even feel a need to blot any shine throughout the day and looked just as polished after hours as I did immediately after applying. Yet I never felt like my skin wasn't still showing through.

I do completely agree with the fact that this could work for almost any skin type except for extremely dry. Any dry patchy parts of the face would be emphasized with this formula. And remember to be sparing when you apply - you'd be suprised how far this stuff goes. And as always, your happiness with this product is all in selecting the correct shade. If you can get to an actual retail location, that would be best.
