REVIEW: Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation & Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

A while back my boyfriend and I had to go to Walgreens, I knew he wouldn't take long so I ran to the makeup aisle (of course) and quickly looked around. I wanted to try a new foundation and they had a Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off Sale on some of their products, so here is what I got:


Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

To be honest I don't have too many Maybelline products, and this is the first foundation of theirs that I have tried. The formula itself is supposed to be a cross between liquid and mousse, and I would say it definitely is. This foundation has a medium coverage with a matte finish. As far as the packaging goes, the bottle has a pump that I absolutely love--it makes it easier to use the right amount and it's just more sanitary.

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

I love using this to set my foundation. This product doesn't make your face look powdery and leaves a nice, flawless finish. The packaging is nice too: it comes with a mirror that makes it easy to use on the go.


For the price, these are worth a shot. The only complaint I have, is that there aren't too many choices of shades in these. In just a couple of months my skin tone will go back to normal and I will need to buy another foundation, so I'm interested in knowing what you all recommend using. Thanks in advance!

  3. I think the best drugstore foundation is Revlon Colourstay. (It's kind of the drugstore equivalent to MAC Studio Fix Fluid, and is a good comparison). If you haven't, I would recommend checking it out when you're looking for a new one :) But it dries really fast so you need to work quickly and in small sections with it, but otherwise its fab.

  6. Lol, I always sneak my way over to the make up section whenever I'm at the drugstore with the boyfriend, too. : )

    I've heard a lot of positive reviews from their "dream" line so I'm curious to see how it would work for me. I haven't found a good drugstore liquid foundation that works well with my skin. However, I really like LOreal's True Match face powder. It's really nice plus they have a variety of shades so it's easy to find one that matches you.

  7. i agree, that foundation is alright with medium coverage. it's not a favorite of mine - i usually like full coverage. a drugstore foundation that i almost always fall back to is the revlon colorstay foundation.
