I received this product from Chick Advisor to review.

First off - unfortunately I chose the wrong colour and it ended up being too light for me :( However, I did really enjoy the texture of this foundation and the way it feels on my face. It is a medium to full coverage, and actually quite true to it's velvet-soft texture. I didn't find that it was matte on me, in fact, I became quite dewy couple hours in. I usually use Maybelline Fit-Me Matte & Poreless foundation as my everyday go-to, and that one does last longer and keep me matte for longer.

I would probably give this another try again - except this time in my colour!
This foundation isn't too pricey and I definitely think it's worth a try.

I received this product from Chickadvisor to try. This foundation goes on super light. When you touch your skin, you can barely tell you are wearing anything. Great coverage. I have not the great color but i love it something.
I would absolutely recommend this product.

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.

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.

When I first received this foundation in the mail and put a small amount on my hand, I was sure it was at least 1 shade too dark. But when it was on half my face, it appeared to be a very close match, and I was very pleased. It is probably the thickest foundation I have ever put on, but it has a velvety texture and spread really nicely on my skin.

It has a matte finish on my skin, although has a bit more of a "caked-on" look than I would like. Although I wouldn't say my skin feels moisturized by it, it certainly doesn't feel dried out because of it. It came off easily when I washed my face and my skin didn't feel oily or greasy after it was removed.

I would definitely purchase this foundation again if it were less expensive, since my usual foundation has very similar benefits and is about half the cost. Nevertheless, I would recommend Dream Velvet Foundation to my friends.

Note: I applied the product with the Maybelline Dream Blender.

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!!!

I love this foundation! I picked this up on a whim because I was out of my regular foundation and needed something in the mean time while I waited for it to come in the mail. I ended up liking this more than the one I ordered! It is full coverage and has great staying power. The only thing that I would watch for us that I have this in the shade Ivory and it is supposed to be second lightest shade in the range. I have a medium tan skin tone so I don't see how this could be considered a light shade since it matches me perfectly and I am VERY tan (i use tanning beds.) so as much as I love this foundation I'm not sure the shade range would be good for someone with fair skin.

Maybelline’s new Dream Velvet Foundation is said to be a hydrating matte foundation that leaves your skin with a 100% velvet-smooth finish. I received this foundation in the shade Classic Ivory 20. This foundation is best used with their new Dream Blender Sponge.

I was very excited to try this since I’ve never used a whipped foundation before. The first thing I noticed was that a little bit of the product goes a long way – which is awesome. But then I noticed how the Dream Blender doesn’t apply the foundation nicely onto my skin – it just pushes it around on your face. It didn’t blend it at all, so when the foundation was set, it looked very caked on. It looked FLAWLESS (from far), but I noticed about 2 hours later that my foundation was actually flaking off. But the rest of skin just looked packed with makeup. I always wear moisturizer before applying any makeup, and I’ve used the same one for a while, so I know that’s not the issue.

The Dream Velvet Foundation isn’t my favourite foundation that I’ve ever used and I would definitely not replace any of my current foundations, but on a random day where I’m feeling risky or need a quick makeup application I would probably reach for it (just because I have it)

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.
