I received this product free from ChickAdvisor to test. I must say I am very impressed with this foundation. I have tried so many different brands and did not like them at all but this is definitely on my good list. It blends nicely with my skin and makes it feel smooth. Only downside for me is at the end of the day my face does feel a little greasy but I have a very oily complexion. Seeing as I wash my face every night it's not a huge deal. I love this foundation and would definitely recommend it to others.

I use foundation daily, so it was nice to be able to try a new product before having to spend my own money on it. I was very pleased with the results. It goes on very smooth. It blends perfectly and has a nice matte finish, which helps with my oily t-zone. Not sure if I chose the right shade , as every brand is different, but it still seemed to blend in nice with my shade of skin.
I would definately think about switching my usual brand.

I recently tried Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation and I received it complimentary from Chick Advisor.

When I first tried this product I tried it using my fingers and wedge sponge and I didn't like the finish on my skin. It felt too thick and it seemed to settle in my pores and fine lines. Several days later I tried the product again but I used a makeup primer and utilized the Maybelline New York Dream Blender. The product application seemed much better.

I have combination skin and the Dream Velvet Foundation did initially have a matte finish, but a few hours later I did have some shine in my t-zone- mostly my nose and forehead. My skin did not feel dry on my cheeks and my skin felt soft.

My usual foundation gives a matte finish for a little longer, but I liked the finish so I think a blotting paper and some powder would help with my shiny nose. I have told my friends and family about the foundation and have let them try it on their hands so they see what it was like.

I'm not sure that this is the right foundation for me in the summer as my skin tends to be shinier, but I'm looking forward to using it then.

I have combination skin so I was a little worried how a matte foundation (which I love) that has hydrating properties (which I don't love) was going to work on my "high maintenance" skin. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! The foundation went on smoothly, the colour was a great match and it didn't leave an oil slick on my face by noon. It was long lasting and looked quite natural on my face. I would definitely purchase again, but only if the price was a little lower. Seems a little pricey for a drug store brand.

I am so glad I was able to try Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation thanks to ChickAdvisor! I love the soft velvety feel of the product. It blended well (had some issues with the blender, see my review for that), and lasted all day. I'm a busy mom running my own business, so the products I use have to work for me and last. I was concerned that the colour I would normally choose for a foundation was not available to me. The colour I ended up with was slightly different, however it blended wonderfully! The foundation did not cake in spots at all. I felt that I looked natural and fresh. Thank you so much for the opportunity, Maybelline and ChickAdvisor!

J'adore la texture mousse de ce fond de teint qui se fond à la peau. Malheureusement, le fond de teint n'était pas de la bonne couleur par rapport à mon teint mais rien de dramatique donc j'ai pu le tester quand même. Le fond de teint donne un fini mat et très naturel et la couvrance est bonne. Je trouve le fond de teint très hydratant et il n'assèche pas ma peau. Personnellement, je n'ai pas besoin de le poudrer et il tient toute la journée. Je l'adore et je le conseille fortement.

Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation and the Dream Blender.
I was so happy to had the opportunity to try this wonderful product. I really like the foundation..it's not too eavy and the scent is very pleasure..it comes with a little brush to apply it and it really works very well..i'm being using it for the past few weeks now..and i'm thinking to continue to buy once i'm done with this one.

I really enjoyed this product overall!

It is super light feeling on the skin, and though I enjoyed it during the Winter months, I think I will definitely go back to this in the Summer months, as it is super light and I feel like I need less coverage then.

It blended nicely and looked as good 8 hours after I put it on as when I first applied. Definitely light coverage, but if that is what you are looking for it is a good option. Shade range is good, and I find the shade I got was quite forgiving - would work for a lot of people.

As for the price - seems a bit high at $16.99, but Maybelline can often be found on sale. I would definitely wait for a sale to grab another!

I am a huge fan of this foundation! The texture is nice any creamy, and provides a really nice coverage. I would be really comfortable saying this would be a great everyday foundation to wear. My only downfall is that my skin may have been a little drier than normal when i first got this foundation to sample and I did notice that on some of the drier spots on my face it did look darker so I had to take some extra time to blend it well. Overall I would reccommend this to friends.

I got the classic ivory foundation and loved that it gave you a natural look once bended with the brush. Next time I think I would go up a shade to cover those imperfections I have as you could still see some of them.
