Best Foundation Makeup

December 18th, 2009

I’ve wasted countless dollars in high-end department stores trying to find the best foundation makeup. When I ran out of my usual foundation last month, I decided to search for a more inexpensive one and came across Maybelline’s Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation. I wasn’t expecting much, but it turned out to be one of the best foundation makeups I’ve ever used!

Packaging

The product comes in a neat little glass bottle containing 1 fluid ounce of foundation. It is equipped with a pump dispenser that locks to prevent leakage. The bottle is light and portable, and it can easily fit in a purse or makeup bag.

Texture

The texture of this foundation is unlike any other. Its amazingly light formula is easy to apply with a foundation brush or sponge applicator. In addition, it blends evenly over blotchy areas and does not emphasize any fine lines or wrinkles.

Color

Since I have fair skin, I purchased Classic Ivory Light 2. This color matches my complexion far better than any high-end department store foundations. It also gives the skin a natural finish and glow without looking overly done or cakey.

Coverage

When looking for the best foundation makeup, coverage is key. This product claims to give an “airbrush” finish and it delivers. Although the coverage is relatively light, it easily camouflages small imperfections and discoloration. A light dusting of Maybelline’s Dream Matte Powder helps maintain the “airbrush” finish. Skin looks and feels flawless and natural.

Application

One application lasts about five hours for me, but I have combination skin that tends to get a bit oily in some areas. A quick blot with a facial tissue and some pressed powder easily takes care of any shine. Overall, I am highly pleased with this product and will buy it again. Maybelline’s Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation is not only the best foundation makeup I have ever used, it is truly a dream come true! On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 9.9.
