Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Review

I love trying out new makeup products but before buying any, I love to read reviews about them first. That is to help me chose the right product also to ensure that I get the most out of the money that I spend. When Maybelline posted an announcement on their Facebook account that they are having a sale on their products, I immediately check the whole thing and see what products should I buy from them. Since I am looking for a foundation at that time, I bought their Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. I pick the one in Nude Light 4 shade as it suits my skin tone.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Maybelline's only lightweight air-whipped mousse foundation for 100% matte perfection
Ultra-mattifying powders and oxygen are whipped into a mousse formula to bring air-light perfection to matte. Ideal for normal to oily skin, medium to high coverage
This air-whipped formula lets air flow to your skin for lightweight matte coverage that breathes freely and covers flawlessly. Comes in 12 different shades.

PACKAGING
The foundation is in a petite circular container made of glass so it is breakable. What I like about its packaging though is that it is very compact and very travel friendly. One can easily bring it everywhere without worrying where to place it. I guess it can easily fit in any go-to makeup bag.
Details about the product such as its ingredients and manufacturing information can be seen in the bottom portion of the glass container.

PRICE
I forgot how much the product costs regularly but because Maybelline was on sale when I purchased my foundation, I only bought it for 250.00php. That's around five or six USD.

WHERE TO BUY
I got mine from a beauty outlet in a shopping mall but I think you can also purchase the product in any Watsons outlet too.

PROS

-available in so many shades

- affordable

- feels smooth on the skin (doesn't feel sticky or something)

- doesn't cake

- has a somewhat satin finish

CONS

- has a slightly odd smell (can't really explain it that well but it doesn't smell good for me)

- doesn't give a very good coverage

The foundation is somehow decent considering its price. I couldn't say that it is the best foundation ever but as a drugstore product, it is a good alternative if you are on a tight budget. I love how it feels on my skin and if you have it on your skin, I think you don't have to use any powder. It somewhat feels like a two-in one product. It makes me feel like I am wearing a foundation and a powder at the same time.

As for the coverage, it doesn't give a full coverage but it blurs your blemishes and even outs your skin tone. I don't know if this could be true to anyone, but after hours of wearing the foundation, it actually made my face feel oily, especially on my T-zone area. I do not know why and fyi, I don't have a very oily skin. I guess the product won't be great if you have a very oily skin. I'm not quite sure though but based on my experience, it does trigger the production of oil in my face.

If you have tried the product already or if you have any questions,feel free to share them on the comment section below. I hope this post is of great help if you wanna know how Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse Foundation works. Thanks a lot for reading!
