Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation
So, the other day, I was in town
@ Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City, satisfying my mochi cravings. The mini strawberry
mochis are to die for! Do try it out if you are ever there.
I was window shopping at Watsons,
checking out the Maybelline counter since they were having a ongoing promotion
of buy any 2 and get 1 product free! I have always wanted to try the Maybelline
Dream Matte Powder, which was kind of the motivator that drove me to purchase
the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush finish foundation. The sales
assistant was really good, she told me my shade in just mere seconds. Great
help indeed!
I was pretty skeptical at first,
because I have oily skin. And it’s really tough to find a good foundation that
lasts through the humid weather in Singapore. I swear, we need more humid-proof
& sweat-proof make up products in Singapore’s Market.
With the promo, I decided to give
this product a go. Let’s start with the product description off the Maybelline website:
- Air-whipped
liquid provides perfecting coverage for 100% poreless skin
- Ideal for
normal skin
- Oil-free,
fragrance-free, Dermatologist-test, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic (probably
another reason why I decided to try the product. If you read my other posts,
you’ll know that I have been suffering from cystic pimples and yes it is
getting better but I’m still treating it)
I bought the shade Natural beige,
Medium 2.5. The packaging of the product has a pump, which is a plus point! Any
foundation bottle with a pump is definitely a good point. It even comes with a locking function, though it lacks a cap which most people would have preferred. With or without a cap, it doesn't really bother me! I brought the foundation out, you know to use it after my gym session with Nadhirah, it isn't as travel unfriendly as most people claim it to be. Or it could be that I'm just lucky? Moving on, the match was really
good, credits to the sales assistant. Having oily skin, it is definitely a must
to set it with a powder! Plus in Singapore, if people were to go for the dewy look, they will probably be looking like a disco ball in no time (lucky you, if u don't!). It retails at Watsons for SGD$29.90, usual price for
most drug store foundations in Singapore.
Pros:
- Airbrush
finish leaves my skin looking smooth and pore-less
- Medium to
full coverage (for fuller coverage, beauty sponge would be recommended)
- It is
buildable
- Non-comedogenic
– great for acne prone skin
- Great packaging
Cons:
- Not good for
my oily skin – I found myself blotting throughout the day about 3-4 times
- Doesn’t do
too well in Singapore’s weather unless you have dry skin
- Sweat proof –
not really (I went to the gym with it on, just to check it out. Pretty much the
same effect as most foundations give after a workout; if you know what I
mean)
- Longevity – mediocre
job
All in all, this is a great
foundation. It gives good coverage covering all your pores, has a natural semi-matte
finish and a thick creamy kind of mousse-y consistency. Definitely has the airbrushed
finish. Although it states that it is suitable for all skin types, it’s not
really “oily skin friendly”. Anyone with oily skin like me, would have to
constantly blot and touch up with a mattifying powder (I even used a mattifying
primer). I’ll conclude that I do like this
foundation but I wished it had stayed better on my oily skin.
My next foundation that I will be getting would probably be the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation ~
I’ll rate it, 3.5/5!
p.s. exam time and I can't wait for the holidays!
