I should of asked for a shade darker, it is a tad too pale for me. Goes on good and looks very natural. A little quantity goes a long way. Doesn't make my face shiny nor dry it out. More expensive then the one I usually use but would probably consider buying it since I like the result it gives.
I received this to test as a part of the Product Review Club.
I am a big fan of the Maybelline Dream products - the Dream Fresh BB Cream is my go to face product. I am not much of a foundation person, but when the opportunity to test the Dream Velvet, I thought I'd try. I was intrigued by how light and airy it was claiming to be - that is appealing to me because I hate my face feeling weighed down.
I got the foundation in colour 15, which was a perfect match. It goes on really nicely using the Dream Blender, but I still prefer my fingers to a sponge. It gives nice coverage, and could be buildable. However, the matte doesn't last at all. Less than 3 hours after I put it on, my face has shine to it - even after brushing my face with finishing powder after putting the foundation on. I can't imagine how it would be in the summer.
I received the Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation free to try through ChickAdvisor.
The shade I received wasn't the best match for my skin, even though it is what I normally use in other brands.
I would have liked a shade lighter, I think.
It goes on really smooth. I wet my blender a little so it doesn't go on too heavy.
Even though the shade is off, it blends really well on to my skin, so I'm likely the only person that notices.
I really like that it doesn't leave my skin feeling heavy and cakey, and just enough of my skin shows through.
Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to try Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation. ..I did like the foundation it'self was smooth and matte. However I received the wrong colour for my skin tone. So it went in orange and showed my blemishes or the patches of dry skin went orange too. So I will try it again but a different tone
I really love this product. The creamy velvety smooth consistency is fantastic. The foundation it self was very light and doesn't leave you feeling like there's a bunch of foundation caked on your face. I did have some blemishes on my face which were still a bit visible with the foundation, so would recommend using a concealer for bigger blemishes. My fave about the product is that it didn't dry out my skin kept it moisturized. I would recommend this product to someone who was looking for something light and simple.
love it love it !!!!! the coverage is perfect . the texture is really soft on my skin and i can still feel like i don't wear foundation . its worth the price , !
Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation is a great product! It has a great consistency, moisture level and applies nicely, great coverage too. I like applying with a brush then blending abit with a sponge. I got abit too orange of a color, so will save it tell summer and hope a tan on my skin will match with it. Thank you!
I've had the opportunity to trial Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation over the past two weeks as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club.
Maybelline Dream Lumi is my go-to summer foundation, and Maybelline Dream Velvet stood up well as a winter option.
I found the formula to spread evenly with no streaks. I preferred to blend with a brush over the Dream Blender. A large-pea sized dab was enough to cover my face, with another smaller bit used for extra coverage around my nose and under my eyes.
I didn't find the formula to be completely matte, but this was a positive. It was just dewy enough to not stick to any dry skin, but matte enough to not give off any shine.
I set it with powder and it lasted the day while I ran errands. It was also -37 degrees Celsius outside, so I can't say much about how it would last in a heat wave!
I still prefer Maybelline Dream Lumi for its weightlessness, but was impressed with Dream Velvet overall! I liked that it wasn't as finicky as Dream Lumi, and that it comes in a hygienic squeeze tube that allows you to get out all of the product while also ensuring it doesn't become contaminated.
I received this to try and was so excited when I got it. It was actually better then expected. This is my new go to blender and foundation. It has such a smooth matte finish and never caused my skin to break out as I find I do with other products. The blender is such a great idea. It helps even out the foundation and get into the corners (like your nose). Love the way it feels on my skin!!!
I received the foundation as a part of the product review club. I was very surprised that it covered my discoloured spots on my cheek well and left my skin smooth. I wore the foundation from 7 am to 7 pm without having to reapply throughout the day which I do with my other foundations. I also enjoyed the fresh mild scent. I'm prone to acne breakout once in a while and this did not give me any breakouts at all and I'm thrilled about it ! I will def encourage my friends and family to purchase this product as it has worked well for me.
