The colour I picked was 03 Nude based on online colour swatch.Ībout my skin: my skin is usually normal to combination, but it has been slightly dehydrated due to winter that has just past. I have been using the Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation for a few weeks now.
I really liked this for price, quantity and quality but it will never take the place of my beloved Charlotte Tilbury magic foundation or It cosmetics your skin but better cc cream, otherwise it gets full marks, five stars. Having a collection, wardrobe if you like, of foundation that works for your every need and occasion is worth the time effort and money, especially if you find the ones that really work for you and you absolutely love. You could even buy a back up bottle or two, like I did recently at the Priceline 50% off sale on now.
The pump applicator is my favourite ever on any skin or makeup product as it’s mess free and hygienic and a little bit goes a very long way, so even though you don’t pay much in the first place, it’s worth every penny. Day, night, work and play, it is ideal for everything I do on any day or night. It lasted all day, it applied so smoothly and blended perfectly in minutes and the rest of my makeup applied and looked so flawless. The colour, the coverage, the finish, the wear and the beautiful velvety, radiant yet not shiny in any way, look and feel of this foundation had me hooked, happy and in love immediately. I added another small amount to areas of blemishes and redness and blended thoroughly again until I was left with smooth, soft, even and radiantly flawless skin in minutes of not very hard work. After my usual double cleanse, serum, moisturiser and primer, I pumped out a small amount of this rich and creamy product and started spreading it onto my face with my beloved real techniques foundation brush, over my forehead, nose cheeks and chin, buffing and blending it in until it was seamless and flawless. I’m starting to edge towards the drier side of things with my skin as I get closer to the big 3-0 so when I spotted this newly reformulated Dream Satin liquid foundation, supposed to be infused with serum and giving skin a satin, velvety finish to skin, I was sold hook line and sinker.Īs always with Maybelline foundations, the ivory shade is absolutely perfect for my pale, light, fair skin colour that I’m blessed/cursed with. They have a huge selection of colours, finishes and always match my skin type colour and tone perfectly and last all day until my evening routine. They have great lipsticks and glosses and brow products too, but my favourite thing from the range is their foundations.
Their eye shadow palettes are brilliant, colourful and fun and seriously smooth and highly pigmented, great for every day wear that is seriously comparable to brands like Huda beauty and Anastasia Beverly Hills. Their products might be cheap but they certainly deliver in terms of quantity, quality, selection, colour and fashion. Maybelline New York are a long time favourite, affordable and fun makeup brand ever. My more affordable few include L’Oréal Paris, Rimmel and last but not least at all, Maybelline New York.
I have high end favourites such as Giorgio Armani, Charlotte Tilbury and it cosmetics. I’ve tried a lot of different foundations from different high end and affordable brands and I’ve built a nice foundation wardrobe with a selection of foundations that fit my every need, look and occasion. I love a good base for every day, night time and special occasion wear.
