Everyone raved about this foundation so I decided to try it out. It makes your skin look quite dry and feels really cakey as its quite a thick texture. I feel like I can feel it on my face the whole time I'm wearing it which isn't what I want from a foundation. It also comes off really easily so even if you gently rub your face it will come off on your hand, it definitely doesn't last a whole day. I have quite good skin so I don't look for complete coverage from a foundation, but I think if you're gonna wear dream matte mouse, it would have to be for full coverage. It definitely gives a matte finish, although I think it is too matte, if that's even possible, for me anyway.

This product is terrible quite frankly.
I only applied a light layer and immediately got this cakey, flakey, wrinkly texture.
It did stay for hours on, but it would rub off with the slightest contact of skin or a tissue even with powder ontop of it.
Worst was that it clogged my pores and i got soo many pimples from it, but I really love the shade (40 Fawn).

As for the price, it was at an average of 8$ which is alright. On the bright side, it can be used for zombie makeup!

This product is awesome!
It makes my face look smooth and perfect. It's very natural, it doesn't cake up and you can layer. It's really good if you have an oily skin because it gives a matte finish c:
It also doesn't really have a smell...

It covers mostly everything. This is the best foundation I've tried!!
And also, it stays for more than 8 hours, which I love. c:
And it doesn't melt off my skin, which is amazing because my skin gets oily after 3 hours.

My only complains would be the packaging and the colors.
I'm lucky that the lightest shade is exactly my skintone, but it would need even more lighter skintones. ^^;

Remember: If you have dry skin then do NOT use this one.
This was made especially for oily skin. Use the smooth one instead. c:

This was one of the first foundations that I ever tried.

It made my skin very flakey and miserably irritated even though I don't have particularily dry skin.

The colour was ok, application easy, but the finish horrible. Dry flakes all over my skin.

There are so many other products I would recommend instead of this one!

I've used this foundation for 6 years. I have Mary Kay reps asking constantly what makeup I wear! It goes on so light and matte, not watery or shiny like other foundations. I've never tried anything else after I found Maybelline's mousse. During the summer I darken my shade, and in the winter I lighten. So simple! The trick is to use a powder underneath. I will always love this product although the price is now almost $10--- RIDICULOUS!

I was really hoping for some good coverage and a matte finish. I got neither. it looked cakey and I just felt gross and oily and it pretty much melted off my face. I got a pimple after using this but I'm not sure if this product is to blame. giving it to a friend with normal skin hoping they have better luck with it than I did.

THE GOOD: I think it covered my face well. I try to get pretty thick-coverage foundation and this met that need. It didn't make me break out.

THE BAD: It wasn't the right amount of coverage for me; I wanted something a little bit more. Plus, the texture was a little gross and constantly got under my acrylics to the point where it stained them. VERY frustrating to get that out.

THE UGLY: Carries a decent amount inside it, small but convenient packaging. Again, bad texture. Might've been a little too orangey but not enough for it to be noticeable or a problem for me.

This is one of the worst foundations I have ever used!! If you have any dryness, it just shows up even worse, even if you prime and/or moisturize. I bought the palest shade and it still looked orange on my pale skin. And to add insult to injury, it made me break out after just two days of using it. Steer clear!!

I love this foundation! I have tried many high end foundations such as Chanel, Lancome, and Estee Lauder and I keep coming back to this one. I apply it with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and I get a flawless finish! Also the fact that it comes in a little glass jar is super convenient for me because it is easy to carry in my purse and it makes the application easier too, I just have to tap my brush into it. Just be sure to apply with a light hand so it wont look too cakey. Will definitely repurchase. The only reason I am not giving it 5 "stars" is because if you are not careful sometimes you can get that obvious foundation look.
