I received the Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review club, and I am so glad that I was selected! It truly does as it says, providing great matte coverage, is ultra hydrating and soft on the skin. As can be seen in my before an after photo, it reduced redness and shine, and really minimized skin imperfections. This is a product that can stand alone when in a rush! No powder or finishing top needed for your skin to look and feel great. I will 100% be buying this foundation again and recommending to all my friends!

Got it free from product review club. I really like pretty much everything about this foundation! the colour (05) is a perfect match for me, it blends in so well. The foundation itself is not cakey at all, the face looks very natural and flawless. I usually try to use BB creams to achieve a natural look and feel, but in this case my face looks fresh and natural. I was afraid it might be too "powedery" as it is a matte foundation, but I dont have that problem at all. I used it over just moisturized and over the sun screen, and it stays on well pretty much all day. If using it with sunscreen i get a bit of oily shine after ~ 5-6 hours, but nothing really major, so I'm very impressed by the quality. It also doesn't seem to settle much into my pores/wrinkles, so I'm very happy with my face when i use it! The coverage itself is probably on the light/medium side, so if your skin is without major flaws it's good to use. It covers my redness well, and hides some pores and imperfections, though if there's a pimple or some scarring it might not cover it very well. I tried using it with both my fingers and a soft sponge (both maybelline blender and beauty blender) and i think both ways give equally good result. The price (~18 CAN) seems a bit high for a "store" brand, but im really impressed with the quality and performance, and would recommend it!

Très bon fond de teint. J'ai adoré la texture et le fait qu'elle hydrate la peau en même temps. Je me suis sentie à l'aise et bien dans ma peau toute la journée avec ce produit. Ne tâche pas. Ne fais pas de marque si on touche son visage. Je le recommande à plusieurs. L'applicateur est formidable et agréable à utiliser pour étaler le fond de teint. C'est un produit que je vais me procurer plus souvent.

I really enjoyed this product! It went on smoothly and wasn't cakey; a perfect light coverage. I like that it is widely available and at a very reasonable price point.

I was one of the lucky ones to receive a sample from Chickadvisor and I am so glad I did! This is my new go-to foundation. It is not too heavy but definitely provides coverage and make my skin look fabulous.
It blends extremely well and a little goes a long way. It blended seamlessly with my skintone and had a very nice, smooth texture once applied. It gave my fair skin excellent coverage and really evened out my skintone, hiding redness. AND it lasted really well! I did use the e.l.f makeup setting spray with it and it lasted the entire workday, so I am really pleased with it.
I would definitely recommend this foundation!

J'adore ce produit!! Très contente d'avoir eu la chance de l'essayer!!! Ce fond de teint couvre très bien avec un effet naturel! Je l'aime beaucoup!!

I have tried many different brands of foundation over the years and did not like the way it felt on my skin or that I would have to reapply it after several hours but with the Maybelline foundation I only need apply it once and it is good for the day or evening without any touch-ups and it has such a light feeling I hardly know I am wearing it, thanks

I absolutely will buy this foundation when my trial bottle will be empty. Just felt in love with this product. Effective, smoothness, perfect color...and what about this cute and perfect new dream blender!!! I'm not shy to say that in more than 20 years using foundation, it is, the best one for me ever.

I've recently switched over to using drugstore foundations, and this is by far the best one I've tried. I wasn't sure I would love it because the formula feels thick, and I didn't necessarily want matte coverage, but I was so pleasantly surprised. It goes on so smoothy and easily, and the coverage is exceptional, without feeling heavy. It's just the right amount of matte, my skin stays flawless ALL day, I'm in love!

A great 2 in one foundation. Good coverage and easy to blend and since it dries matte, there's no need for powder. The colour range is great an will suit many skin tones.
Super easy to apply as well. I will definitely repurchase!
