REVIEW: Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

After seeing a great deal on this foundation (CVS ExtraBucks reward of $5 back plus a $2 coupon in the paper bringing the grand total of this foundation to $2.49) I knew I had to try it, if for no other reason than the great price. Honestly, until I saw the coupon I didn't even know that this foundation existed.

Maybelline describes it as:

Revolutionary whipped formula provides an air-soft, perfect matte finish coverage, with a weightless feel.

• Color pigments offer superior coverage
• Blends effortlessly for a soft, natural-looking, even-toned result

It's been awhile since I've used a "regular" foundation-I've been into the mineral foundations. That being said, I did like this mousse foundation.

Application-The mousse style meant it went on softly and felt like I wasn't wearing any makeup at all. I do think the tin though could be a breeding ground for bacteria after awhile; after all you're dipping your fingers into the product unlike other foundations where its disbursed on your hand or brush.

Coverage-It was very lightweight coverage though and I think it would be hard to layer this without looking like you were wearing foundation.

Look-Very natural looking. Although this product was labeled matte, I thought it was a natural-looking finish and didn't think it covered up my oily forehead.

Other comments-Since it was moussey, I thought it might make my skin break out. To my surprise, it didn't!

Overall, a good product. I'm happy with it especially for $2.49.
