I looooove this foundation... totally recommendable...

i bought it in the colour ´´perfect beige´´ for my pale, asian and kinda yellowish skin.

the texture is not too liquid which gives a nice natural covering.
very even and smooth to apply.

the only foundation which gives me this ´´you-don´t-wear-make-up´´ feeling and saves me from pimples.

**** one of my HG´s ****


well, but the packaging though could be more decorative ;-)

I have it in 035 Apricot Beige, matched by the SA (not me). It was bought 2 years ago, and I haven't used it much. This is mostly b/c the color is totally wrong, way to orange.
It strikes me to be very scented, there's some roses going on if I'm not wrong. It is a bit too liquid to be in a tube, and the tube looks cheap.
Applying it is easy, medium coverage and matte, but makes the face a little flat (I guess a shimmery powder would fix that). It feels silky and soft, but after a couple of hours the oil breaks through (as with every foundation I have tried) and makes the foundation runny. This can't be fixed with blotting paper.
It's an OK low-end foundation, but not for my oily skin. One lippie off for the cheap-looking tube, and one off for the not-all-day-matte results.

Omg, this is one of the worst foundations I've used (and there have been many). I have fairly oily skin but this manages to make my skin dry at first and then really shiny after a few hours. Also when im applying it, it rolls off in my fingers which is nice. Is it just me or are Maybelline products not what they used to be?

I quite like this foundation because of the "Fresh Matte" look and how it feels really soft and hydrating when you apply it, but it's dry-to-the-touch. It's fine on my oily/combination skin, as with any foundation I wear I have to use blotting tissues a couple of times in the day, and it doesn't make my skin feel greasy. I quite like the sort of baby powder smell, too. I much prefer my Chanel Teint Fluide Universel foundation for its more sheer texture and more glowing colour (the Maybelline colours are ever so slightly on the dull side but not too bad), so I don't think I'd buy it again, but I probably would if I was strapped for cash. I think it's about £6 in England, which is good because it's not cakey, not TOO dull, and not too greasy. You don't need much powder over it. I don't like the packaging because it's very cheap-looking and doesn't have the ingredients on it.

I mean i used to love this product but it dosn't control oily skin in the slightest and it slipped off by afternoon too. It's an ok product for not so oily skins but i wouldn't reccomend it
