Overview

COVERGIRL makes Clean Matte as a water based liquid foundation that goes on easily and blends into a matte finish. The Classic Ivory shade suits fair skin, and the range also comes in a sensitive formula.

A light, water based texture that blends easily makes it a simple daily base for shine-prone skin. The matte finish holds back oil. Beyond that, the listing is bare: no coverage level, wear time or ingredients.

Who it's for

Oily or combination skin looking for a simple matte foundation will find it easy to use. Those with dry skin may find a matte water based formula too drying.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Water based, light feel
  • Matte finish controls shine
  • Sensitive version in the range
Cons
  • Coverage level not listed
  • No ingredients or wear time given

Performance notes

A water based formula spreads thinly and dries down quickly, which is what gives the matte look. Blending with fingers or a sponge evens it out before it sets. On dry patches, moisturizer underneath stops it clinging.
