    Thank you for choosing me to review this product through he Product Review Club!

    I have been a Maybelline customer for a long time and often go back to it after trying other brands. I really love this foundation! It goes on very easily and smoothly and the matte finish is like butter! My skin looks like porcelain. I honestly was surprised by how smooth and even my skin looked and it made me think I really need a little sun in my life - haha!

    I did think the price point was a bit high because the tube isn't that big, but now that I've used it for a while, I realize that a little goes a long way so the price is pretty good.

    I received this product as a free tester and have never used it before, however now I will use it as my go to product. It always left my face feeling fresh and smooth, never greasy. It blends on smoothly and stays with me all day.

    I don't wear a lot of foundation or cover up in general but I wanted to try this out to prove to myself that it would not clog my pores, ruin my skin, etc.
    I loved the fact that I did not have to use a lot for the coverage I needed, I used it as a base and then added a powdered translucent highlighter. It actually enhanced my features, can't go wrong with that. As the saying goes, a little dab will do ya!
    Maybelline has great products in general, and I trust them, I don't think I realize how much my decisions on makeup/foundation has a lot to do with trust of the brand. Saying that I feel this tube will last me a while as I did not use huge amounts (You really don't need to). I am taking it on my vacay in April to help me look silky smooth (in the face at least)! Velvet is an accurate name and description, it goes on better than butta.
    This is my year to try and try again, so I am really happy with the results and the fact that my skin is all good with using the Maybelline Velvet Dream.

    I received this for free to try from Chick Advisor. I was a little bit hesitant about a mousse type foundation because I haven't had good experiences with them in the past. The first time I tried this foundation, it clung to all of my dry skin and it looked cheap and flaky. The next time I used it I made sure to moisturize the night before and the morning of, so that there would be no dryness on my skin. It worked great! It goes on so smooth and the colour matched my skin perfectly. It blends easily, leaving no unwanted lines or discolouration. I like using this foundation with a beauty blender, but not the beauty blender that came with it. I found the blender itself to be too small. I found with this foundation it lasted all day without looking grimy by the end of it. It also didn't bother my somewhat sensitive skin. This is a really great product, as long as you don't have dry skin!

    How was my experience with this product based on the advertised benefits?
    Fantastic foundation! It's been years since I've used a drugstore foundation. I have become a foundation snob and have moved onto department store foundations in the past few years. However, the Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation surpassed my expectations by a long shot!


    How would I compare this product to my usual foundation?
    The Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation has a beautiful matte finish, lasting hydration, velvet-soft texture and came in the perfect shade for my olive skintone! The foundation works amazingly over oil-free moisturizers and SPF's. I love the way it blended easily and provided such a natural, skin-like finish while making me look top notch!

    Confession:
    I fell asleep with this foundation on at my boyfriend's house and woke up looking FLAWLESS!! The foundation stayed in place and didn't break up or look patchy- despite me not wearing a primer underneath it.


    Would I purchase this product again?
    WITHOUT A DOUBT! It's better than many high-end brands!

    Would you recommend this product to a friend?
    Probably not, if I want to be the one looking the MOST FLAWLESS!! ;)

    I really love this foundation. It goes on really smooth and didn't look cakey at all. I was previously using a Rimmel foundation and was okay, but it took very careful application to look natural. The Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation was so easy to apply, because it wasn't patchy or spotty. At the same time, the coverage is pretty good. I asked my husband what he thought of my new foundation (I know, he barely knows what foundation is) and he thought I wasn't wearing anything, just having a good skin day. Well, I definitely wasn't having a good skin day, but the foundation really gave the appearance of it. I was given this foundation to review as a part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, but I am going to repurchase it when this is done. Which might be awhile, because a little goes a long way!

    J'ai beaucoup aimé la couvrance de ce fond de teint. Il est assez épais et cache bien les imperfections! Le seul point négatif selon moi est le prix, que je trouve trop haut par rapport à la grosseur du tube de fonc de teint

    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 received this product for free from the Product Review Club- thanks ChickAdvisor!

    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.
