This foundation is a very good product. It covers well the face. The color is perfect. It's very lightweight on the face, so it's very comfortable unlike others that I have tried. Unfortunately, this product do not hydrate enough the skin. My skin is dry at some places. When I applied the foundation, the dry parts of the skin appears and it's not very beautiful. I recommand this product if your skin isn't dry.

I initially wasn't sure if this foundation would work with my drier skin type, as matte finishes can be too drying or emphasize dry patches, but it applies quite well over prepped skin (moisturizer and primer.) I like that the texture had a creaminess that easily applied and blended without much effort. The formula sits quite well on my skin and doesn't settle into my pores. The finish is matte, but not flat, and I find I don't need powder to set it or through out the day. The foundation wears nicely without getting dry or disappearing on skin, which is great. I do think the price is a tad high for a drugstore foundation though, especially as this is packaged in a squeeze tube.

I recently received this item to test through ChickAdvisor. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by it. The colour was a great match to my ski tone (being very fair I sometimes find I'm stuck I between 2 shades). Also it applied with a great texture and Dried with a nice matte finish. As the make application progressed a couple dry spots became a bit more noticeable but not overly noticeable. I found that the coverage lasted a lot longer than other foundations. Also it was a lot less greasy and I found I used less than normal foundations on my skin to hide my trouble areas and even my skin tone out. I would recommend this product to people who are not overly dry in their skin tone and want a lighter and less greasy foundation. It's a new must have in my beauty bag :)

The shade that I chose was the lightest available, Porcelain Ivory. I am very light skinned and was a bit concerned when I put some of the foundation on the back of my hand. It looked too dark and a bit pink. It was quite thick like a paste. You need to apply it quickly because it will dry out. I recommend only squeezing out the amount you are going to apply on one section of your face at a time. If you squeeze out the amount for your entire face it will become crusty and dry. I applied it both with my fingers and with the Dream Blender and both ways were fine. It ended up matching my skin well and the colour looked natural. It gives more of a light coverage like a tinted moisturizer and not opaque like a foundation. It is meant to be moisturizing and it is somewhat. I found that it made my dry patches flaky and emphasized them even with moisturizer or primer underneath. It wasn't a matte velvet finish on my skin as it was dry and flaky in patches and my forehead was a bit shiny. The overall look was light and natural but I did have to go back with concealer in some areas. I wouldn't recommend this for dry or oily skin but I think it might be just right for those lucky ones with normal skin who require only light coverage.

I just received this product in the mail yesterday and couldn't wait to try it out! At first I wasn't so crazy about it, but throughout the day it was looking much better on my skin maybe because it settled into my skin a little bit over time. The colour I recieved in the mail was probably just one shade too dark for my skin, which is a bit of a shame, but I guess I'll just put it aside and use it in the summer time. However, my favourite part about this foundation was that at the end of the day my face was still completely matte, not one shiny spot anywhere, and that was without any touch ups at all! I was very impressed! I will definitely recommend this product to my family and friends and anyone else who may be interested in trying out.

If you are looking for a no shine but not drying, lightweight foundation then this would be it! Sheer civerage and seamless blend , especially when used alongside the sponge.

Great colour and texture but a bit too matte for dry Canadian winters (skin is combination) and sometimes the foundation would add to the dry look.
Good coverage and lasting power for a foundation this price point. Would buy again but for summer months when matte is needed more.

Love the texture and coverage but may not be the ideal foundation for a dry cold winter. With the weather turning super cold, my skin is more dry than normal (combination skin) and I found that this foundation sometimes magnified the dry skin look. It may be the perfect matte texture and coverage for summer / spring and fall in Canada. Great colour though... perfect match for my skin tone and it felt great on.

I received this product from ChickAdvisor to review and I was happy with the product. I loved the coverage and how smooth the foundation was. It went on very easy with the Maybelline New York Dream Blender.I loved the matte finish and I had no problem with my face being shiny. My face never dried out and I had no problems with breaking out after wearing it. I would purchase this again.

I received this product as a Chick Advisor.

I was skeptical at first as I have tried many foundations and haven't really found one I loved. I also wasn't sure that the color of ivory would match my skin. Let me say I was pleasantly surprised on all fronts. I was lucky enough to be sent an applicator and wow it works fantastically. It means that I can get into all those creases and helps me apply it evenly and not too heavy. The foundation was smooth and covered well without looking to 'made-up'. I was happy to see that it didn't accentuate my forehead lines and left me looking natural but covering those blemishes and redness my skin has. It did not irritate my skin and had awesome staying power as it was still on at the end of a busy work day. I will definitely be purchasing this in the future!
