I didn't rightly know how to add a product if it's not featured, but I really wanted to write a review on this product as I am so very pleased with the results I got.
Firstly a bit of background;
This product is aimed for people with normal, combination or oily skins as it has a fantastic powdery finish. It is also NOT for those seeking to cover spots (they should know how to use concealer!) as the whole point of this product is to give the skin a natural, healthy finish.
REMEMBER- Better to look like you have no make up on!
There is also a 'unique bead' inside that upon shaking mixes up ensuring perfect seamless coverage upon application.
The ingriedients are also 'skin-loving' :
glycerin maintains moisture levels, vitamin E which acts as an anti-oxidant and a SPF of 15 protects against UV rays
Besides this, it's also hypoallergenic, fragrance free, oil free and non-comedogenic
There are 6 shades available to suit most skins: Cameo, Nude, Ivory, Fawn, Sand and Golden.
I use 'Sand' and I find it really does provide seamless coverage.
Also, for best results shake the product regularly especially before use. Moreover, it would be great to apply with a sponge or dab a bit of the product onto finger tips and apply this way to avoid using too much.
Of course this product is manufactured in France.
The bottle is 30ml (which doesn't seem much but it is v. durable, last time it lasted me 2 1/2 months and I wear foundation every day!)
The bottle itself is fantastic as it is the perfect size for your hand bag. Moreover, the cap closes shut very effectively so there are never any leakages and spills.
And BEST OF ALL, when travelling by plane most foundations usually leak out as soon as you get to your destination and open the bottle, don't they?
However, with this product this didn't happen! And I took it to not 1, not 2 but 3 coutries in 1 summer!
The finish is really superb. I am sick of feeling caked. it's a terrible feeling when you smile and you feel your foundation move with you. With this foundation it doesn't feel like you are wearing make up. It does a fantastic job at evening out the skin tone and providing you with a healthy fresh look.
The coverage is durable, if putting on in the mornign and wearing all day I only re-apply around 6 pm and only around the eyes and nose areas.
Besides this, when taking my make-up off at night with wipes, I discover there is little that comes off and it comes off extremely easily, proving that with WONDER FINISH a little goes a long way.
The colours are great also. I have found that with other foundations I've sued in the same category a lot of the colour are too peachy and have very many pink tones. This 'seamless' technology is great as it seems to come in very natural looking colour and as long as you find the best fitting one it will do the rest!
The lightness of the foundation can probably be attributed to the fact that it is mainly made up of AQUA, and therefore you never feel tired and dull wearing it.
Overall, this was a great buy for just £5.49 as it lasts so long and provides sucha great finish.
I woudl recommend it to everybody with the types of skin I described above. it's natural looking, powdery and light! What more could you want?

Review of Maybelline Foundation by

Advantages: Gives a great look!
Disadvantages: None
...doesn’t make me go orange. Maybelline Foundation was the only foundation of many that I have used that didn’t make me go orange! I recommend this to people with pale skin who can’t usually find a foundation to give them the look they desire. When I first put it on it made my skin look very natural and covered all blemishes I had on my skin. It gave me a natural finish I had been wanting for a long time. Another great thing about ... ...is great.
I think Maybelline Foundation is great. It is everything I have ever wanted in a foundation.
I didn’t find this foundation that expensive either. Most foundations I have used in the past haven’t worked as well and have been more expensive! I think that at £4.39 it is reasonable for such an amount of foundation that works so well.
I totally recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great foundation at a reasonable price. ...

Review of Maybelline Foundation by
DALS
Advantages: very smooth great color
Disadvantages: rubs off on my clothes sometimes
Since moving to London I no longer buy the expensive foundation brands because they are even more expensive here. However after trying a bunch of different brands I fell in love with maybelline!
-for 5.99 from boots its the best deal. I use the color called Sand and it is very natural on my skin even if i dont spend much time putting it on
-it has a nice twist top and easy to open-
- I use prescrition creams on my face for blemishses and it blends ... ...take off your shirt while wearing it, it does rub off on clothing easier than other products
-it doent clog my pores or irritate my skin which other products often do!!!
-It blends well with powder and bronzer
- My skin dosnt get shiny when i wear this to a club!
-IF you apply a lot of layers it covers a blemish so you dont need concealer!
overall THE BEST inexpernsive brand! ...

Review of Maybelline Foundation by
vc123
Advantages: doesnt rub off
Disadvantages: pricey
I think that the mayebeline foundation is okay but not as great as it is made out to be. There are some good points and bad points. A good point is that when you are putting a top over your head when wearing this foundation it doesn't rub off onto your top and leave marks it just stays put and a bad point is that it cost quite alot compaired to other foundations because I paid £6.09 for a tube of the stuff there for I expected it to be alot better ...
