I'm looking for a new foundation for summer. I was thinking either MUFE matte velvet + or NARS sheer matte. Thoughts on these? Or any other recommendations?

MUFE works great! Gives a nice matte finish! absolutely love it!

I haven't tried the NARS but I've been wearing the MUFE Mat Velvet since October '12 and I LOVE it. I wear #20, and have ivory skin with red undertones, sensitive acne prone skin with roscea, and I have oily sweat prone skin. So basically, all the most annoying skin problems rolled into one and pale-ness so that they are all constantly noticable! xD

So far it has been incredible for me throughout this past fall, winter, and spring and I am still going off the first bottle, despite wearing it myself daily, and a friend wearing some ocasionally when she sleeps over and needs to use my makeup to get ready for work. So obviously, a little goes a very very long way. I have enough for maybe the next week or so and then I think I'll be out, but I thought I was out in February and bought myself a new bottle, just to end up getting 3 more months use out of that one!

It's definitly helped oil/shine control compared to days I would go without it, and I paired it with the Sephora anti-shine face primer, and MUFE matte translucent loose powder for extra shine control.

Though I have been realizing I may need something a bit more sweat proof, as well as oil controlling for the long sweaty summer days so I may be switching to MAC Pro Long Wear foundation for the summer, since I have heard amazing things about it.

All in all, MUFE is a great option if you need oil control, even coverage, and have sensitive skin, but also check out the MAC pro longwear foundation is you want sweat proof or water proof for days at the pool or outdoors! I believe MAC also has SPF foundations which are great for summer!

Thank you everyone! I will definitely be going to get a sample of the MUFE.
@emily I wanted to get the Mac Pro long wear a few months ago but they didn't have a shade that would be good for my paleness. Lol maybe now that I'm a little tanner they would. If that is a problem for you too I have been using the Mac match master and I really like it. I feel like after like 4 hours but I still love it.
@ Raquel I'm kind of scared of Clinique ever since the dramatically different gel moisturizer broke me out.

@emily. The end of that sentence was supposed to say. After about 4 hours I feel like it does get a little shiny
