I really liked this foundation! It goes on easily and it's not to heavy or thick. It really does help blurring my pores and lines. And it last all day!

Beautiful Foundation.
On day 2 of full day wear and so far I'm loving it. It looked incredible for most of the day yesterday, not even sinking into the pores on my nose which is a rare experience for me. I wouldn't say it's fully matte, but it didn't get shiny on my combination skin even at the 10 hour mark. I'd say it looked more satin or a tad dewy on my forehead at that time. Nothing wild. Texture did start showing around 10 hours. Not a deal breaker for me with that timeframe. I didn't notice any breaking or gathering even around my nose and I also didn't notice any fading or wearing off. Foundation was set with Huda Beauty's Peach Pie loose powder.
I can't tell you how it wears in heat because fall is definitely falling here already. It's not uncomfortable, but it's full coverage so I feel it a little bit.
Overall, I'm impressed. This foundation looked fantastic most of the day. It certainly looked and wore the best of all the foundations I presently own. By the time it showed any deterioration I was already home for the day so no big deal.

Finally
I’ve used Estée Lauder Double Wear for years, but since the formula changed I’ve been struggling to find a replacement. I have oily skin and this foundation sets beautifully, has great coverage, and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. I was matched to 3.25N and the shade is perfect. So glad I gave this one a try! Thank you, Estée Lauder. If you hadn’t changed your formula, I wouldn’t have found this perfect foundation!

A must have matte foundation
I love the foundation! It was really easy to blend and my skin looked hydrated and radiant even with this being a matte foundation. It held up in the summer heat and I noticed little to no creasing. When it came time to take it off, a few swipes with a makeup remover wipe and my face was clean. I would definitely recommend this foundation. The shade match was also really good!

Top Foundation Pick for sure!
4.5/5 stars. I am VERY picky with foundation (have extremely oily skin) and I love this one! I would compare it to the old Kat Von D "Lock it" that was discontinued. Really good staying powder, lasts for my whole 12 hour shift with minimal separation or fading. I still have to use blotting papers every few hours, but I've never found any foundation where I didn't need to. Thick consistency but easy to blend, works well with any primer and setting powder so far (doesn't seem to be as finicky as other foundations with mixing with other products). Much better staying powder and oil control than Fendy, Huda, or Nars. Doesn't settle badly into fine lines. It's on par with Estee Lauder for staying power and oil control.

Long Lasting Coverage
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Although the shade I received was way too light for my skin tone, the ABH Impeccable Blurring Second-Skin Matte Foundation itself is amazing. Application is smooth, the coverage is medium to full, it did blur and minimize some of my imperfections as well. I loved that it lasted all day, did not make my skin oily, and is water resistant. I will definitely be purchasing this in my correct shade.

Good coverage
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I always get excited about AB new products. The foundation has good coverage, no smell, and is buildable. What i will say is the shade i got was too light for me but I can use color Corrector with it. It doesn't feel heavy as if you have makeup on and can ad to your everyday wear. I would recommend this!
This is a good foundation. I'm a big fan, but I got the wrong shade but it has nice coverage and I can just add some color corrector to fix.

Great matte for dry skin, doesn’t self-set though
I love that this doesn’t oxidize like every other foundation in the world. I have dry skin and this still wears so beautifully on my skin. My only issue where this lost a star, is that it doesn’t self-set like matte formulas usually do. This would be perfect if it did. Blends easily, blurs without looking dry, and if set with a setting spray, lasts. But like I said, I wish it set itself like all others.

Decent Full Coverage Foundation
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This foundation provides great coverage but I did feel it was quite heavy in the spot I tried it. Unfortunately the color was much darker than it showed online so I couldn’t apply all of it. This foundation also really stays on and would require a makeover or stronger face wash to remove. Overall it’s got a nice texture and full coverage with a smooth and matte finish.
