It does look matte and sort of "blurs" out my pores a bit more than other brands that I have tried. In terms of how well it lasts...I would say it depends on the foundation you use because for me if I use my cheaper foundation, in six hours my base does not look so great. Using my cushion foundation works best I would say and it does look natural up until 8 hours or so. Overall, I do like this powder and would recommend others to try it, but for now, I will continue to test out other brands.
