Questions & Answers

Is there a significant difference in appearance between the shades "classic ivory" and "porcelain ivory"?

Yes. Porcelain Ivory is a lighter and more pink-hued version of porcelain ivory. Ivory in the traditional sense is darker and more neutral in tone, with a hint of yellow.

Which of the following shades is the lighter one: Is it better to go for a classic ivory or a more natural look?

I'm very pale, with Norwegian, Scottish, and Irish ancestry, but not Kleenex white, so I use porcelain ivory, which matches my skin tone without 'ghosting' me.

Ordered with a cosmetic brush to aid application, but don't care for the foundation's crumbliness. Is this the way it should be?

This one doesn't require the use of a brush. Simply use your fingers, or you may be able to use a sponge applicator, as I do.

Is this suitable for people who have dry skin?

My skin is prone to roeasea. That means it's dry across the cheeks, normal to slightly oily in the t zone, and sensative; it works well even over my dry cheeks, in fact, it's best there, even when I'm in a flare.

For a polished, smooth appearance
5/5

My skin is combination and I'm 55 years old. Over the years, I've tried dozens of foundations and this is my favorite; in fact, I've been using it for several years. I used to buy it at Walmart, but Amazon has a better price and it's much more convenient to have it delivered right to my door. It's possible that the container appears to be too small – it is. It's 64 ounces, but I drink it every day and it lasts me several months. br>br>To apply the foundation, I tap it onto my face with my fingers and then smooth it out. If you try scooping with your fingers, you'll end up with way too much makeup; instead, gently tap a couple of times and then smooth on. It applies smoothly and effectively conceals acne scarring and other flaws. It also aids in the smoothing of my complexion by filling in large pores. Brown spots and larger acne scars are barely noticeable after I tap a little more on them. I've tried using a sponge and a brush, but I find that using just my fingertips produces the best results. I always finish with Dermablend setting powder because it works so well with the foundation. br>br>I've discovered that the foundation lasts all day, even when sweating during a workout. I do occasionally use a little more Dermablend powder to keep the shine at bay during the day, but I rarely need to reapply foundation (though I may touch it up if I'm going out at night). br>br>With a little Cetaphil cleanser and warm water, it washes away easily.

The appearance is natural
5/5

This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of a natural look. It gives me a smooth matte finish while still allowing my freckles to show through. It's definitely one to keep. Natural beige was my choice; it appears a little darker when first opened, but once applied, it blends in beautifully. When you first open it, the product appears chunky, but it quickly spreads out.

For all skin types, this is the best foundation
5/5

I'm a huge fan of the foundation! It has a silky, mousse-like texture that is fantastic! It has a silky smooth texture and is suitable for both young and aging skin. I adore the result I get when I use the accompanying product. It has a mineral powder look to it, but it isn't too minerally fake or like a fake bake tan that is just too much, and it gives excellent coverage that you can blend to minimum coverage, and if you don't have oily skin, you could even wear it without setting powder for a completely natural look (I have to use powder on top because I have oily skin). I also have sensitive, acne-prone skin that is getting older (I am 38), and it does not irritate or break me out in the least, which is crucial and difficult to find in drugstore make-up. This is a keeper for me, and I've always used high-end make-up from department stores and high-end make-up stores, but I like this just as well, if not better.

The shade name is the same as before, but the color is significantly different
3/5

I had previously purchased a natural beige container of "dream smooth mousse" - 240-shade There is one in the image. In natural beige, I ordered this "dream matte mousse" Shade number two now. 5 - There are two people in the photo. As you can see, the color difference is significant, and wearing this new one makes me feel like I'm getting jaundice. I tried blending them and blending it with other things I have; I like the feel of it and the light coverage, but the color is soooo off with the exact same name in an almost identical product; the dream mousse is a bit fluffier, so it should actually be less coverage in my mind, so I assumed the color would not appear as dark and yellow on. I didn't start using it right away, and I was hoping to blend it in with the other one, so I missed my return time. It's not the fault of Amazon's supplier, but what is Maybelline doing about it? This is a new version of Maybelline's "dream mousse," and the shade is so deceiving that I'll never order Maybelline online again and trust that the color will be the same.

It conceals my flaws! I'm 60 years old, and my skin is riddled with flaws

It was a pleasant surprise
4/5

I've tried a lot of foundations over the years in search of medium coverage that lasts all day, and I believe I've found it in the Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. My skin tone is evened out, but it is still visible.

It lasts a long time and isn't greasy
3/5

This product appealed to me, but I couldn't seem to find the right shade. When applied, the colors are more reddish or brownish than I'd expect. One of them was too dark, so I used it as an eye shadow. That works out perfectly, and it lasts a long time. Prior to application, the product has a thick granular texture, but it applies smoothly. Advice - When you're finished, look in the mirror to see if you didn't rub it all in; if you didn't, you'll see little sand-like granules that aren't blended in. It has a non-greasy feel to it and lasts a long time. I'd be ecstatic if I could just find the right shade. When I don't wear a lot of makeup, I have olive skin with a bit of uneven coloring. I only use enough foundation to even out my skin tone and avoid looking washed out. If only I could find the right color for this product, it would be perfect.
