I use this as an everyday foundation because I think it gives a nice coverage and because the shade is great for me now when it's getting colder. It's also a very affordable products - it costs only £2. The foundation isn't drying my skin which of course is a good thing during the winter when the skin usually gets dryer and sometimes flaky. Comparing to other foundations, this does give me a quite matte finish. It gives a good coverage of red marks, but at the same time it feels light on the skin. I apply this with the real techniques buffing brush and it's really easy to apply evenly - it "melts" right into the skin. This also brightens up my skin tone a bit and makes my skin look more fresh looking. Makeup Academy recently changed up their packaging and products - so I actually think this is on sale now for half the price. In their new range they have the Matte Perfect Shine Control Foundation which I can only assume is a similar product. I've had this foundation in my makeup bag for a while even though I've used it a lot. That's only a good thing!
