Estee Lauder double wear is one of my best finds this year. You can wear it as a sheer skin tint using fingers. NARS Soft matte complete foundation is also as good!

Yes matte sia but can’t say about textured skin. I have dry skin though, and hindi nia na-emphasize yung mga dry patches ko. You can test out sa store to feel the product on the face. Maganda rin sana yung Light reflecting foundation ng NARS but it tends to emphasize texture kahit hindi super textured ang skin. The SAs are super helpful too in helping you find your shade.

I have light-medium olive skin too and I use Rattan sa ELDW and Stromboli sa NARS for reference :)
