I recently sampled this and it provides beautiful matte coverage that is not drying and gives you as soft airbrushed looking glow. It evens skin tone and has a long wear. It sets perfectly even without a finishing spray.

I received this Dream Velvet Foundation and Dream Blender from Maybelline New York through the ChickAdvisor Review program.

According to it's packaging, it's refreshing gel-whipped foundation ideal for normal to combination skin that purports to do the following:
- leave complexion perfected and smooth
- with medium coverage
- a velvet, soft-matte finish
- while skin stays hydrated up to 12 hours

How to use:

Per the instructions --which I normally discard but read for the purpose of this review-- you should dab a small amount of foundation onto the dream blender. Alternately, place the foundation on the back of the hand and then apply to the blender for added precision.

Maybelline Pro tip: Before use, wet and towel dry the blender for lighter coverage.

Results: I noticed right away that my face felt immediately softer. The foundation went on smooth, most likely due to its gel-like consistency.

The Dream Blender was a nice accessory tool. It was excellent for applying the Dream Velvet Foundation precisely near the the eye; however, I found it absorbed a lot of the product instead of blending it into my skin. This was likely due to the fact it was brand new (I imagine the sponge would work better with time as once it was more saturated).

The sample I received was a touch too dark for my complexion, however, because it was so blendable, it still worked for me as it allowed my freckles to come through and still appear natural.

Maybelline calls this coverage medium and it is exactly that. It provides enough coverage to even out your skin tone but doesn't make it appear barbie-doll fake.

Like any woman, I scrutinize my face on a regular basis. So I tested the short and long-term results of this product. I noticed that the foundation started to break up a bit around my drier areas (nose, under eye area) after about 5 hours when I took the second close up photo.

But overall, this is a nice everyday foundation that has great value and best of all, no scent! I would buy this again.

i was really excited when i heard i was going to try the #MaybellineDreamVelvet foundation for free from chick advisor . This product does a great all over coverage and lasts throughout the whole day . I really like that they included the Dream Blender , it makes applying so much easier and i get way more coverage for less product. I definitely recommend this product .

Oh I love this product! Not to have the foundation on your hands is a great joy. My skin after application, was soft, non-sticky, uniform color and natural look !

I got to try this product from chick advisors product review club. This foundation blended in with my skin better then any other foundation ever has, you could not even tell i was wearing any. It went on so smooth and it did not feel like it weighed down my face it is so light and you do not need as much as other foundations. i fell in love with this. thanks chick advisor

Love, love, love! Have to say I was stuck on my usual foundation for yrs, but this one is great. Color was perfect match and great coverage! Blends evenly and doesn't feel heavy

I really liked this foundation not only was the colour a great match it provided a nice light to medium coverage. I loved the matte finishe that didn't cling to my dry spots. Normally I get quite oily in my t-zone during the day and I found that this foundation keep my oil more under control. I would purchase this product in the future but I might wait for a sale since it is quite a bit more then my current foundation choices.

I received the Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review club, and I am so happy that I was selected!
When i got the foundation, i found the size is a little small than i expected. But when i used it, the texture is condense (not watery), so i just needed to use a little. It is another benefit when i travel and i don't need to bring huge and heavy foundation. This foundation can stay in my face for a long time, and makes my face looks so natural and it is really easy to apply it on my face. I really like it.
Besides, it came with a Dream Blender. Definitely using it with velvet foundation makes my skin tone more even especially the curves areas such as nose, under eyes and over eyebrows. But, in my opinion, this blender holder is a little too short and small for me. It would be perfect if it is designed longer.

Maybelline New York Dream Velvet foundation. Is so light and airy on my skin. But still allows for amazing coverage. Texture is very smooth, whipped texture. And drys to a nice matte finish. One of my favorites.

Drugstores have been stepping it up lately in the foundation department! I received the Dream Velvet Foundation in shade 05 Warm Ivory, which is a bit too yellow/dark for my skintone, but I like everything else about it. It has a thicker, whipped consistency, and a little goes a long way. While it doesn't entirely cover my pores, it does blur them. The result is a soft and natural matte finish. I consider it medium coverage, but you will definitely need a separate concealer for dark circles.

I really love the results I get from this foundation! It feels almost high-end. While I can make it work, I only wish the lightest shade wasn't so yellow and was even lighter. Hey, Maybelline -- please consider making a lighter shade with less yellow undertones! ;) If you can find a shade that works for you, I definitely recommend trying the Dream Velvet foundation!
