I got to try out new Dream Velvet Foundation via the Chick Advisor Review Club. My first impression of the foundation was that the packaging was very appealing. Using the Dream Blender I put it to the test. While I found that the foundation was a little on the thick side, it did cover well - especially when it came to the dark circles under my eyes. However I did find that it didn't quite blend as well as I'd hoped and it was fairly noticeable that I was wearing it. I now only use it for my under eye area and use my normal brand for the rest of my face.
I received this foundation to review and was quite pleased with the matte finish. I've tried matte foundations before, but they looked quite cakey. This felt moisturizing yet had a powder finish as well. Very pleased with the texture! It has real staying power too, lasting most of the day looking matte and flawless. However I did find that more came off if I rubbed up against anything, much more than my usual foundation transfers. Even still, I would buy this again! I might try a setting spray with it soon to see if that helps.
This foundation works very well to even out my skin tone, hide blemishes, and brighten the look of my skin. Once applied, my skin still has a natural look to it. The foundation is a medium consistency, which makes it easy to spread onto my face. Depending on the desired coverage, you can blot on more for increased coverage if you like. The shade I got is probably a tad too yellow or beige for my skin, however because it blends on so well, I could still use it and it still looked great. It's staying power is also fantastic and lasts throughout the day.

I tried the foundation and it actually kept my oil controlled for 4 hours till it started coming through which has been a problem for me recently. The rinnish was nice and matte but also looked natural on the skin. It did oxidize q but through the out the day but not too bad.
I received the Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. The shade I received was a bit darker than my skin tone but otherwise I am very happy with this foundation. The foundation had a nice matte finish and after 8 hours of wear, it still looked as good as it did in the morning. I will likely purchase this product in my shade the next time I go to Shoppers Drug Mart. I would definitely recommend this product to friends!
This foundation is really soft to apply, but it does not blend well. It even flaked off a bit. It was matte but I do not recommend this foundation for combination skin. It lasts relatively long but i would not re-purchase this. This foundation is also quite pricey.
i really love this foundation and am very happy i got a chance to try it through the product review club. I normally do not spend over $12 on foundation and this one costs around $17 however it is good quality and when used with the dream blender i got a natural even coverage to my makeup.
I really liked this foundation. It was light, but very effective. All my blemishes and small pimples were very well covered. (The foundation did come off at a feww spots after a few hours so you would need some retouches, especially where the blemishes are). My skin felt very soft and velvety which I loved! I would say it's a medium coverage, but also very light foundation. I would definitely recommend it, and I would definitely buy it again.
Having combo skin I've always struggled with foundation, either it looks cakey/dry when applied or I look super oily a few hours later. With this product I have neither of those problems. My skin looks super smooth and doesn't get shiny through out the day. It is matte but not too flat or fake looking. You can definitely build up the coverage from light to nearly full, depending on your preference. Seriously one of the best foundations I've ever used.
Thank you to the Product Review Club for letting me try Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation. This is a good foundation for everyday wear. It is light and has an airy whipped feel to it. The only complaint that I had with this foundation was that my skin needed to be really really well moisturized in order for the foundation to go on smoothly and stay on well. The coverage was pretty good, it hid most scars but I had to use a separate concealer for under eye dark circles. The foundation stayed put all day and did not create any extra oil on my skin. Overall, it is a good foundation for day to day use and stays on well.
