Very nice foundation, I was pleasantly surprised, after reading some bad reviews. I think it depends on your skin type, if this foundation works for you. I was a bit worried that the colour won't match, but it blended out beautifully, and matched my neck perfectly. Application is a dream with the Dreamblender that comes with it. Covered all my redness and acne scars perfectly. Doesn't feel heavy on the face. Gives a beautiful velvet finish, which is perfect for my combination skin type. Overall, I love this foundation! So glad, I had the opportunity to test it out.

I have used every single foundation out there from drugstore to high and I have combination skin and I have a hard time finding a very good foundation

this products feels velvety on the skin it's not to modify and yet's hydrating at the same time it lasted all through my workday I did not need to touch up with powder which I hate to do because I do have dry patches . I would recommend this product to anybody who is combination skin. This is now my go to foundation.

I had the pleasure of testing Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation for free as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club. As I am no stranger to Maybelline beauty products, I was really looking forward to see what this beautiful foundation had in store for me! As the advertising boasted benefits such as velvet soft texture, a matte finish, and lasting hydration, I had amazingly high hopes that THIS could finally be my first reliable and durable foundation for these cold, bitterly dry and harsh Canadian winters....and I was not disappointed! Not only did I see and feel the benefits Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation claimed, but I also loved the fact that my face never felt dry, sticky, or heavy while the product was on. In comparison to my current foundation by another brand...well... There isn't a comparison in this department. The velvet texture of Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation wins hands down. The coverage lasted for the duration of my day, and well into the evening, which surprised me as I am often exposed to the chilly elements on a daily basis. I did experience a 'flakey' or 'cakey' result on my dry skin( as my 'other' foundation sometimes does as well) only because I had to get used to blending it in properly with a good moisturizer. With time,the hydrating ingredients plus the Maybelline New York Dream Blender applicator allowed me to perfect application for a medium, matte coverage (but that depends on the desired amount one puts on their face). As an added bonus, the shade matched me almost perfectly and I did not experience any 'breakouts' throughout my reviewing experience, which for a pale, dry, sometimes sensitive skined gal like me is ah-mazing and SO user friendly!! Speaking of user friendly, I found the Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation bottle a little on the smaller side but very convenient and easy to use. The gorgeous lettering, cheery colours, and bold text made it also a delight to read and be informed about what ingredients are actually in this foundation...something not all foundation bottles have.

Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation is a gem. It gave me absolute confidence that when I applied it, I could trust that the lasting hydration, matte finish, and velvet soft liquid would stay in place for beautiful coverage in harsh, bitter, stressful Canadian winter conditions, all day long. I will most certainly be purchasing this foundation again, as I will my other tried and true Maybelline products, and I have already recommended it to coworkers, family, and friends. I mean what can I say, when someone comments you on your makeup and beautiful, flawless coverage, how can you NOT endorse such a revolutionary and DREAMY foundation?

I received this in order to review it and I am so happy I got to try this product!

The foundation has excellent coverage, and was easy to apply. It lasts well and looks natural on my skin (I have the ivory colour). It looks great on it's own, or if you are a fan of contouring this foundation would be excellent to use if you have a few shades of it. I think it maintains a fairly natural appearance while still covering any marks (I have a couple acne scars), so your skin looks like it is naturally flawless. It also only required a small amount to cover my whole face, and didn't need powder to set it. My skin is not very oily, but I would recommend if you have oily skin to use it sparingly as I think if my skin was oily it may require some powder to set.
I definitely recommend giving this a shot!

I love loved the formula on this dream foundation! Coverage was excellent, but didn't feel too heavy on my face. I found it to be moisturizing and just matte enough to allow for some natural glow to peek through.

I received Maybelline Dream Velvet foundation from Chickadvisor in order to review it. I am so happy with his product. I have combination skin, so some dry parts and some very oily. This foundation applies like a dream. I don't need any primer because it has a very smooth and silky texture. The classic ivory shade is a perfect match for my skin. I have fine lines around my eyes and on forehead, and did not notice any settling of the product. It absolutely stayed where I put it. I've tried applying with the Maybelline blender and with my fingers, and I much prefer application with my fingers. I feel that the warmth of my hands helped get the foundation exactly where I needed it. Also, I have many acne scars, I feel they are nicely hidden using this foundation.

J'ai adoré ce fond de teint. L'éponge nettement moins par contre.
Concernant le fond de teint :
la couvrance est très bonne, il y a un bon choix de couleur qui permet à toute de trouver la couleur qui lui convient. le fond de teint en lui même est mat mais lumineux pour un effet naturel et bonne mine. Il est facile d'application et agréable à porter. Il rivalise très bien avec des fond de teint plus onéreux.
Concernant l'éponge, je la trouve beaucoup trop ferme et pas agréable à utiliser. Il vaut mieux utiliser un beauty blender, l'éponge real techniques ou encore celle de H&M;le travail sera mieux fait de façon plus agréable et plus rapide.

I like that this fondation has a good coverage but looks "natural" and not like "ok, you got fondation I could see that a mile away"
It's supposed to be "matte" but it seems to me it is matte but glowy (not greasy! just beautifully glowy)
For me it's a good fondation (as good as the most pricy ones) and for a good price.
I definitely recommend it.

I was skeptical about maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation.....but it was awesome! the last foundation that I tried was not very good with coverage. The new Velvet Foundation has really great coverage and goes on really smoothly. I may even switch;-)

I received the product from chickadvisor.
The foundation had medium coverage and it definitely did have a very nice velvety finish. I had to wear a moisturizer under the foundation since I do have combination type skin so in order to avoid any dry patches I wore moisturizer and a primer underneath which worked great. The foundation lasted throughout the day and the coverage was just enough. The texture of the foundation feels great on your skin and shows up really well in pictures as well. Definitely will be buying this in the future.
