Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation > Reviews

Advantages: Matt finish, good coverage, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Doesn't last all day

Having run out of my favourite foundation, and preferring a matt coverage for evening (good wrinkle concealer) I thought it was worth giving this a go. It is apparently the UKs number one foundation (I presume in sales) so I wanted to know what it was like ~~The promise~~ This magic “revolutionary” formula is supposed to give an air soft perfect matte finish with a weightless feel; this surprises me because I never realised that foundation felt ...

Advantages: Comes in a shade that suits me, little goes a long way, good coverage
Disadvantages: Not as many shades available in the UK as the US, slightly drying on my skin

...a smidgen too dark, but Maybelline have provided well, with Ivory, Cameo and Nude all being on the pale end of the scale. Sand, Fawn and Sun Beige all look a medium shade, while Caramel and Cocoa are more suitable for darker skin shades. It's worth mentioning that there are more shades available in the US (12 v 8), so if there isn't one in the UK for you, it might be worth picking some up while you're there, or getting a friend to on your behalf.

Advantages: easy to apply, great finish, natural look
Disadvantages: useless on dry skin

When Maybelline dream matte mousse first came onto the market, the advertising campaign behind it was huge. Most women couldn't help but notice it. There were the TV ads, the glossy magazine adverts, and of course all those make-up artists you see on lifestyle programmes, shouting about how brilliant it was. This product is a foundation, produced by Maybelline New York, which has been air-whipped to produce a mousse, rather than the usual liquid ... Read review

Advantages: A great cheaper alternative, even suitable for sensitive skin.
Disadvantages: Stocks are sometimes low in shops - although not manufacturers fault

...foundation products I came across Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. ~~Packaging~~ The packaging for this product is very simple, a clear glass tub (holds 18ml of mousse) with a skin coloured screw on lid. The lid has a sticker in the middle with the name of the product and information about the shade chosen. On the bottom of the tub there is a small lift up sticker containing all the information about what ingredients are within the foundation. ... Read review

Advantages: Covers well, cheap, great colours, widely available
Disadvantages: None!

...usually a big fan of Maybelline foundations, as I don’t think the coverage is great, but with a gimmick like this (being a mousse) I knew I had to give it a go. The foundation is available in 8 shades, *Ivory *Nude *Fawn *Caramel *Cameo *Sand *Sun Beige *Cocoa I chose the Ivory, as I have very pale skin. The foundation comes in a smallish thick glass pot, with a plastic lid. It looks very curved and stylish, and easy on the eye. ... Read review

Advantages: easy to blend, light and even throughout the day
Disadvantages: a bit unusual to use at first

...i headed straight for the Maybelline section and sure enough there it was, glinting in the bright fluorescent lights overhead...the answer to all my prayers. i was pleasantly surprised at the low price of only £6.50 and as i made my way through the various tester pots laid out on the shelf, i knew that this was the one. i knew instantly why the product had been named 'mousse'...it felt just like chocolate mousse in a tub and as i rubbed my fingertip-covered-in-mousse ...

Advantages: Cheap & can vary look by applying more or less foundation.
Disadvantages: Doesn't last too long in hot conditions. Can cake a little.

Having used Mac foundation for a good few months, I was in a panic when the bottle ran out one day. As I can't get Mac products in my hometown, I went in search for some 'cheap' foundation to get my until I could replace my previous foundation. I ventured into Boots where I picked up Maybelline's 'Dream Matte Mousse'. I had seen the adverts on TV & thought it was quite innovative, however having used bottles of foundation priced at £20+, I was quite ... Read review

Advantages: Feels soft and smooth.
Disadvantages: Poor coverage.

I didn't really get on with this foundation. It feels very nice to put on to your skin but it seemed to sink into all the little lines blemishes on my face thus actually emphasising them. Also it didn't really provide any real coverage, at times it didn't look like I'd put any on as it didn't actually cover my skin. Therefore I would say it is best for use if you just want to brighten up your complexion, rather than hide or cover up any spots or blemishes. ... Read review

Advantages: light, pleasant texture, good coverage, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: heavy container, sometimes doesn't last a whole day

I am not a fan of make up and for much of my youth, I went without it. Unfortunately, having oily and therefore quite spotty skin, I eventually gave in and started using powders, which did the job for a while, but none of them ever gave me that flawless-ish fresh faced look that I was after. That is, until Dream Matt Mouse. I was slightly sceptical about the quality and coverage of the product since any other foundations I'd used had always been ineffective ... Read review

Advantages: light feel, great natural coverage, good for all year round
Disadvantages: difficulties covering up discolouration of skin and dark cicrles around eyes

Advantages: Great value for money, blends easily, 14 different shades, good coverage,
Disadvantages: If You have dry skin it makes it more obvious, Not Waterproof

In my opinion Dream Matte Mousse is one of the best foundations around. With such a mixture of shades i found it easy to find my perfect match. The foundation does what it says it does, and covers any blemish and leaves your face looking natural and blemish/spot free. Unlike other foundations, it doesn't sit on your skin and feel heavy and greasy, it blends in perfectly and it barely feels as if your wearing any foundation at all. Another thing ... Read review

Advantages: Flawless Coverage
Disadvantages: Wears Off Easily
