Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse Foundation

I decided to look for a cheaper alternative to my Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation, that I absolutely love and costs $45. I still wanted to use it most days, however since summer is coming I wanted a foundation that I could just throw on and go to the beach without carrying if it gets washed off in 5 minutes.

I found that one of the cheapest ones that I could find from Target was the Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse Foundation. I wanted one that was full coverage and easy to apply and this foundation fit both. I was surprised when I opened it and discovered that it REALLY is a mouse consistency. Turns out I really like mouse foundation because it goes on very smoothly and is super light weight yet still full coverage. The foundation even matched my skin ton, which was shocking as well because it is very hard to match your skin tone through the packaging. I am in the color Nude (Rose ivory in the Laura Mercier Silk Creme) and they had 16 choices which was nice!
I used this foundation for about 2 weeks on a daily basis so that I could get a good review out of it. I found that it was easy to apply, light weight, good consistency, not oily, wide color choice, wore longer then my silk creme, and it was almost perfect. Unfortunately I have sensitive skin and it had finally been completely clearing up for the first time in years. After using this foundation daily, I started breaking out more and more and now I have completely stopped using it to give my skin a break. I really wanted to love everything about this foundation because of its amazing price! If you dont have sensitive skin then I would 100% recommend it. It almost completely concealed my acne scarring and it left me with a really great finish.

With all that in mind, I love the Dream Matte Powder! I have heard about it on youtube and I decided to give it a try. I use it to set my silk creme foundation and liquid foundation and I am in the color beige. It gives a really great finish and it helps stop the shine that I tend to get with oily skin. So far I have not broken out yet but I am still going to keep my fingers crossed!
