So about 2 weeks ago I repurchased Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse in the colour 030 SAND. I had this as my first ever foundation and didn't particularly like it so I thought 4 years on and I might get along better with it. Sadly not! I really don't like this foundation, I think it's clumpy, doesn't give a nice finish and dries my skin out so much.
Compared to other mousse foundations such as the Rimmel Stay Matte or the NYC Smoothing Skin mousse foundations it is really poor. I had this foundation as my first ever beauty buy when I was about 12 and ALL of my friends had it so I wanted to join in on the trend. At the time I thought it was really good, I only used the tiniest amount under my eyes, across my T zone and around my nose. So naturally, I thought it was a great foundation. It was only when I repurchased it about 2 weeks ago I realised I really didn't like this foundation! It really dries out my skin instead of giving me a matte finish and the product started to dry out and crumble the closer I got to the bottom of the pot.
The finish obviously like I said it supposed to be matte which it was but I don't think it gave me the best coverage. I thought it would be a medium coverage when applying with a sponge but I found that it was a light coverage but still made my skin look like I was wearing lots of thick foundation so I had to use small amounts for a full face of foundation but my skin still looked quite dry and not as healthy as it should.
Overall I really don't like this product, I'm glad I repurchased it to make a full review on whether or not I like it but it's official, I don't! I don't think this product deserves all the hype it gets, I think there are definitely other foundations that give a better finish and work well with my skin type. A bit of a disappointment!
