I received a sample of Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation for free to try out and review as part of Chick Advisor's product review club. I was very pleased with this foundation and I felt that it lived up to it's advertised benefits. It was easy to apply and had a very nice, soft texture. I found it to be long-lasting and I didn't need to reapply throughout the day. I loved the look of the matte finish and I did get a few compliments on how nice my skin looked. Overall I was happy with the product and I would not hesitate to purchase it again or to recommend it to friends and family members.

I must say I really liked it! It does a great job covering and blending to give me a natural, clean and smooth look without the shine. The dream blender is OK. I found it works best to 'dot' on the foundation and use the blender to smooth things out. I don't recommend putting the foundation straight on the blender as lots is absorbed.

I'm always search for a drugstore foundation that gives me a matte, grease-free finish throughout the day and this Dream Velvet Foundation came close. I really like the mousse-like texture and a little goes a long way. I squeezed out the same amount as I normally would and ended up wasting quite a bit - the coverage is great! It feels light and wears well but by noon I do have to blot my T-zone. I did end up picking a shade that is a bit too dark but I will definitely be keeping it as my summer foundation and will go get a lighter one for my current skin tone.

My initial thoughts about using this product is that it is lightweight which I like. I enjoyed the mousse-like consistency. I would say that coverage is light-medium, but easy to build. As well, I enjoy that it leaves me with a soft matte finish. It also looked natural and not caked on at all. Compared with my other foundations, this one was nice and light and not as heavy. I would probably purchase this product again and will recommend to a friend.

I liked this foundation! The texture is just like it says, very velvety. It blended into my skin really well, and had pretty good coverage. It is a lightweight foundation, which I really liked. Sometimes foundation feels really heavy on my skin, but not this. I would probably buy this again.

I've been using the Maybelline Fit Me! for years, and switched to the Matte + Poreless version about a year ago, so I was extremely excited when I was chosen for this campaign. I was a little wary when I received my foundation, mostly because the packaging is exactly what you would expect for a nice thick hand cream. The consistency was also unexpected, closer to a thick BB cream than a foundation. I applied it with the included sponge and was completely blown away by how much I liked it! It applies smoothly, is surprisingly full coverage, and doesn't feel like heavy foundation. It blends like a dream, and sets really quickly without any powder. Matte without looking flat, it stayed for hours and didn't darken or cake. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this and am considering switching from the Fit Me once I run out!

I was happy to test out the new Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation free from chickadvisor and Maybelline. I like that the foundation is nice and light and blends fairly well. I did find you need to be careful not to over do it because it can cause a cakey look. The foundation covers well and leaves you face mate. Overall it is a nice non irritating light foundation that will work for nearly all skin colors and types.

While I would recommend this to others, it wasn't great for my pale skin. I went for porcelain ivory which is my regular shade but it seemed quite dark and orange. It blends out but you definitely need to go to a store and test the colours before buying.
It did however last 8 hours on a test (done at home since it wasn't a great colour match so I wasn't running around or in bad weather) and didn't break up badly on my oily t-zone like many drug store foundations would. It stayed matte for about 3 hours with powder, for me that is pretty normal for a higher end foundation so I give it a thumbs up on that and it blends really well even without the dream sponge.

The foundation works well. Similar to the fit me but a little less thick. It blends well but it just didn't match my skin perfectly. I think I'll have to mix two different colours. The price could be a little cheaper in reference to the size of the bottle n

I really liked the feel of this whipped foundation. It went on easily and left my skin with a smooth, matte finish. It was long lasting too. Even after 8 or 10 hours my skin still had a nice matte finish with no shiny areas.
