I was so excited when i received the product. I applied it immediately and its so smooth. Love the velvety quality. it does blend very well. The only problem was that the color was darker than my skin tone and so it didn't really match my complexion. If I can find one with my shade of complexion, I would love to try it.
I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. The shade I received a a bit darker than my skin complexion. I used the Maybelline New York Dream Blender to apply this foundation and it worked pretty well. I have combination skin. The areas around my mouth the inner corner of my eyes gets very dry. I do have to use good moisturizer in those area or it would look flaky with this foundation. My t-zone does get oily after a few hours so I do need to apply powder. Overall this a decent foundation. I am not sure if I would purchase this again if I wanted a long wearing foundation. This probably works better for those with normal skin.
This is a wonderful foundation - I used the colour "caramel". The texture is very light and smooth and is easy to apply and goes on like a dream. You definitely don't feel it on your face - it's a very light layer on top of your lotion. I really like how it's not heavy and doesn't feel like it's clogging all my pores (which is my usual experience). I would definitely purchase it again because it offers great coverage and gives me a very even skin tone while also being light in texture. I would buy this product again and would definitely recommend it to a friend!

I love the coverage of this foundation, it does a really good job of covering my dark spots. The finish is an almost matte and stays that way without touch up for 6 hours. After that, I get pretty oily in my T-Zone. It touches up well though as long as you blot off the oil first. The line only has I think 12 colours so the selection isn't the best as per usual for WOC. But I am able to get a good blend with mine which is 95 Coconut.
Although, at first the shade seemed to be a bit darker on my skin, as soon as you give it a few moments it oxidates and becomes the proper shade. Its a nice foundation for a night out, but a bit too much for a full face coverage during the day, but perfect for covering small things and areas.
Price not to bad but size a bit small for the price. Overall I say it's pretty good. Also I probably will purchase this again in the near future and I also recommend it.
I received the product for free courtesy of Chick Advisor. I absolutely loved the foundation and found it better than the NARS skin tint. It's such a light weight foundation and it creates a flawless finish.
I loved the foundation. My skin tone is a strange colour to match foundation with, but the velvet foundation worked flawlessly to match my skin tone. It was easy to apply and stayed on the entire day! You could barely tell that it was there.
Never use foundation but I received a sample of this product, used it it was dryed like cakey on my skin not to sure why this happened
First of all, THANK YOU Chick Advisor for this great opportunity to review the Maybelline Dream Velvet foundation, it was my pleasure.
Secondly, I have a video that shows how I used the foundation, twice.
First time, I wasn't impressed with the finished look, it looked very thick and caked, I thought this might be because I applied CC cream before foundation, since the texture is sort of like mousse, it made sense. I then applied it the next day, without the CC cream and it didn't look too thick, but I was not pleased with the coverage.
I use CC cream under my regular liquid foundation because I feel that it gives me a base color, where the foundation doesn't correct and the finish always looks neat. With the mousse like foundation and CC cream it was too thick, the coverage was light to medium, and within few hours my make up had faded. I use Smashbox photo ready primer oil and Gosh 2in1 primer and finishing powder, and yet the foundation didn't stay long. To add to this, the CC cream usually fills in the fine lines I have as where the mouse like foundation doesn't look smoothed it looks patchy.
I also feel like i couldn't contour much with powder because it just wouldn't stick either.
I appreciate the opportunity and I might use it as back up or touch up foundation, but not to actually use on the daily.
I have continued to use the product and I like it. It's not a foundation I'll love every day, but definitely on days, my skin wants to cooperate. As for the video, I never ended up uploading it, but for sure, future items I will. It's been well over a month since the first review, and I'm still using it. I had expected it would run out quickly. I was wrong.
