THE BASE
Let’s get one thing straight: matte makeup is not makeup that looks dry, flakey or cakey. Matte makeup is makeup that perfects the skin, evens the complexion and does it all with a subtle satin finish (rather than an all-out glow). This means, when it comes to base products like foundations and concealers, it is important to look for something that is both suited to the matte finish but also to your skin type.
