This foundation goes on silky soft, leaving no visual lines.. It makes your face look flawless. I'm in love with this foundation, it's light and doesn't clog your pores leaving you open for break outs.

I'm a powder foundation girl because I find liquid foundation too cakey. Dream Velvet Foundation is amazing, not heavy feeling at all! I work in a restaurant kitChen and sweat a lot during the day, my foundation lasted all day long.

Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation
I Received this product for Free from Chick Advisor in the shade “10 Porcelain Ivory”

KEY FACTS TO NOTE ABOUT MY SKIN:
1) I suffer the #PaleGirlProblem It is increasingly harder to find a suitable foundation that is actually my correct skin tone. I make due a lot with what I find.
2) I have combination skin; An Oily T-Zone and Dry everywhere else
3) I suffer large pores….. I am working on it but I have yet to find my magical solution to evaporate them into non-existence!
4) I wear a lot of makeup, not cause I have to, but because I want to and love to.
5) I set all my foundations with powder as I contour and bronze with powders to help prevent them from going patchy.

I will Upload a few photos; they may get lost in the mix of everyone else’s. However if you go to my profile you will see what I look Like and it should be easy to figure out what ones are mine.

I WILL NOT EDIT ANY OF THEM! And use my best pixelated camera.
This way you will have full disclosure as to what this foundation looks like on my skin.

Now Onto the review.
The foundation itself has an interesting texture, I discovered right off the hop that a little goes a long way. I found the best way to apply it was with a damp beauty blender (or Real Techniques Sponge) something comparable to the actual Beauty Blender. I DID NOT like the applicator it came with. I found it was to small, and left the skin blotchy and I digress that’s another review as I agreed to. Moving forward.
It does go on Matte and feels very lightweight and barely there.

Pros:
1) Relatively inexpensive
2) Long Wearing
3) Medium to Full coverage
4) Lightweight

Cons:
1) Not my correct skin tone, too rosie for my complextion
2) Doesn’t stay matte. My T-Zone is greasy in 4 hours. This is easily corrected with a blotting sheet.
3) Does settle into my pores

Overall:
If this foundation was a little more Yellow based and lighter It would match me perfectly and I would probably buy it. As far as the rest of the cons, in all honesty I am hard pressed to find a foundation that keeps me Matte all day long. It’s why I keep blotting sheets with me. Not even Kat Von D or MAC keep me matte for longer than 6 hours.

I think I'm in love... I tried a couple of foundation in my life and I might say it's one of my favorite!!
The texture is so velvet-soft! The color is pigmented and hides imperfections very well. The foundation leaves the skin soft and I feel hydrated. And you don't need much to cover all your face!! Easy to apply with fingers or beauty blender. Smell at least nothing, or the smell is very delicate. I prefer it for my usual foundation because of all I said previously. I'll definitely buy this product in the future and I definitly recommand it!

I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. This comment is my own opinion. - THANK YOU CHICKADVISOR & MAYBELLINE!!!

This product is awesome. Especially for a drugstore brand! It actually feels, well, velvety smooth after you apply it. I blended it in with the little blender that goes with it and it really did a good job of evening out the foundation so as to not look patchy and cakey. I was equally pleased with both products :) And it matched my skin tone! I am a very porcelain white.

I received this product from Chickadvisor to try and I absolutely love it. It goes on pretty dry (does not leave skin oily). It is very lightweight and does not weigh my face down. Certainly doesn't feel like I have this product on when I am wearing it. Provides a great coverage and covers everything. I would absolutely recommend this product. Can't wait to use it in the summer weather!

Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation

This is my first time trying Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation. I choose the shade 10 Porcelain Ivory because my skin is always more pale in the winter. The foundation costs $16.99 for a 30 ml tube.

I love the texture of the foundation on my skin because It feels very smooth and hydrated. The foundation looked neat when it came out of the tube. It reminded me of whipped cream but, with a slight coloured tinge to it. It almost looks good enough to eat ;-)

This foundation blended so well I to my skin. I used a little bit too much foundation the first time because a little goes a long way! That was a lesson learned. I applied the foundation with the Dream Blender. No messy fingers this time!

I didn't detect any scent when I smelled the product. The tube is a attractive looking and appears to have a mat finish. The text is very easy read :)

It has been a pleasure trying this product and I'm very like to purchase it again in the future.

I love how this stuff makes my face look. It didn't go on to thick and since it was matte it didn't make my face all shiny!

Normally I don't wear full coverage foundations, my go to product is a CC cream. I must say, I was very impressed with this product. I worried about it looking thick and obvious on my face but it blends in quite nice. It gives me a smooth all over colour and perfect base for bronzer and blush. The one thing I wish it had was SPF as this is something important to my daily makeup routine. The size of the product is great and very easy to use. I have temporarily put aside my other foundation to use this product. It really makes my face look brighter and put together. I would definitely consider buying this.
