I wasn't very impressed with this product because I found that although it applied nicely and gave good coverage, it made me quite oily after a few hours and it oxidized. This was also an issue with the product in the jar because it changed colour fairly quickly and the consistency became very dry and clumpy.

Waste of money!!!

I found this product made my skin (which isnt dry) look super dry as if id thrown powder on my face. The consistency is a fluffy, yet sticky mousse which is wet but as soon as you dot it on your skin and go to blend it it dries up to a powder. I like the packaging its obviously the right way to pack a mousse as it's not a product that can go in a pump bottle. I found it covered absolutely nothing, i have a slight red mark from a breakout recently and its just as visible after using this. You dont have to use much at all and a little spreads quite well but you end up using heaps to try build coverage which doesnt happen. I found that using this, it did not keep my skin matte at all, and its maybe even worse than Maybelline Fit Me at lasting all day, this mousse is oily in no time and still looks matte-ish but definitely is not when you touch your skin. The price isnt cheap here in New Zealand at $30 a jar. Its not really worth the money when it makes my skin look dry and powdery which covers absolutely nothing whatsoever. I will be going after the Maybelline superstay 24hour and see if this actually does something for me, as this mousse is a waste of money

This foundation was not right for me, it didn't give me enough coverage, looks cakey when put on, is very thick and comes off easily, the slightest touch and you'll get it on your fingers, not very good.

I used to have really dry skin, but now when it's starting to get a lot warmer outside, my skin isn't as dry anymore. That's when I decided to buy this foundation.

It doesn't give a full coverage, which is good for me since I have quite a good skin. Some may find it cakey, especially if you have dry skin, but for me this foundation works very well. It feels super light and soft on my skin.

This foundation lasts for me for over five hours, which is really good of course!

The price is totally reasonable (bought it for about 15 euros) and the packaging is quite good too. Easy to open and small, so it leaves space for the rest of your makeup too! :)

I recommend this product for everyone that DOESN'T have dry skin.

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.

I bought this foundation for £6.99 which is average for a drugstore foundation. But I've got to say i hate it, I have oily and dry skin, im oily on my forehead and dry all around my nose, and when I put it on the dry patches on my nose even after moistruizing it made them way worse than it was before and really accentuated them :/ Alot of oil was coming throughout the day. Overall i dont like it and I wouldn't repurchase Hope I Helped! :)

After a month of use: I use natural beige and it is perfect for my nc42 Indian skin tone. The shades differ greatly. Be sure to look online for shade swatches! I went by names initially and honey beige was orange on me! I apply it with my fingers (a light layer since it's high coverage) over neutrogena ultra sheer sunscreen and set it with Palladio rice powder (warm beige) and it lasts me all day in Florida's climate. If I have any shine after a few hrs all I do is dab with a napkin (or any clean absorbant material to be honest :p) and it looks matte again. It doesn't oxidize at all with my sunscreen which is hugely important to me. It covers up redness in my cheeks and forehead very nicely. It removes easily with my aveeno gentle cleanser but I use a DIY acv toner to ensure no residue is left. No breakouts! I advise against the use of a primer with this product as it contains dimethicone already.

This is an okay foundation, but it didnt make me feel like i found the best foundation that would really make me feel like i have a natural but all coverage foundation. Its an okay product, maybe if your starting out with makeup, you should try this , it is very easy to blend though, But it oxided on me and also it doesnt last very long, not like revlon colorstay, so in competion with that, it doesnt stand a chance! but otherwise i would recomend it to those with good to okay skin..

This product broke me out like crazy, I personally do not like this foundation at all it's way too oily for my skin as my skin is very oily and acne prone. However I do like the packaging I kept the packaging for a mixing pot for my foundation.
