My Experience With Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse FoundationI was on the lookout for a new lightweight foundation – something that I could wear more often, and I found the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. I have combination skin, and the idea of a mousse-based formula really appealed to me. I bought this in the shade ‘Natural Beige’ for my skin tone. Here’s my experience!
1. Texture And FragranceThis foundation has a lovely texture – it’s thick and moussey. The consistency felt so light on my skin, and it also allowed better blending. The application process is easy as this stuff just glides onto the skin with ease. Coming to the fragrance, it has a mild scent like that of a sunscreen, which fades immediately after application.
2. Coverage And EfficacyComing to coverage, this product left me impressed. Firstly, it takes less makeup to get the same coverage as a liquid foundation; and secondly, it’s so easy to blend out. It offers sheer to medium coverage – you can build it by layering the foundation. The foundation kept my face feeling mattified all day. Also, I have an oily T-zone, and it seemed to control oil in the area. It made my skin look beautiful and dewy, unlike most foundations that tend to look dull after a while.
3. Staying PowerThe staying power is quite great – it stays on for a good 7-8 hours, after which it starts to get a little oily, mainly on my T-zone. You can increase its staying power by using a little powder on the areas your skin tends to get oily. It’s not water-resistant or waterproof, but it definitely does not budge on hot days or on days the humidity levels are high.
