So I bought this foundation whilst browsing the makeup aisle at Walmart yesterday, the foundation is Maybelline Dream Velvet... normally, I'm not a fan of Maybelline FOUNDATIONS (love their concealers). I usually get loreal infallible pro matte or loreal true match but alas my shade was gone in both...Lol. so I decided to give this a try and let you all know my initial impression!

I'm not perfect Lol, I have many scars and one blemish right now but I'd thought I'd give you a before and after to show the true performance. (these photos have NO editing besides the collage and the text)

Consistency: so the product is in a tube and A MIRACLE - IT IS SEALED. Haha.. anyways, that being said you squeeze the product out. I started off with a peasize amount. The consistency felt wet, yes wet? It's consistency is? very similar to rimmel stay matte in comparison. VERY. However, when dried, it isn't wet at all.

How I applied: Well first of all, the shade I bought is 60 sandy beige. I applied three dots on each side of the face and blended it in circular motions on the outer part of my face then patted in the inner area. As you can see in the one coat picture, it definitely coveres redness pretty well (protruding blemishes - not so much... obviously). Coverage is medium, definitely. I applied one dot to the forehead and nose and blended that out covering the rest of the face (I DID NOT APPLY TO THE UNDER EYE AREA). it blended beautifully,? might I add. No streaks. A little goes a long way too, I didn't even use all of the peasuze amount on my face - I actually used most of it to apply down the neck. I also added a bit more foundation the the blemish and patted it on, it builded up pretty nicely.

Finish: it actually had a really nice finish.. demi-matte and SO not cakey. It looks great on the skin! Like really great. I'm impressed Lol. looks kind of like skin, but a little more matte. Velvet? Not really, but I suppose that can be an alternative description. it does sit nicely.

Overall thoughts: I like it. Well see how it wears now that I go to work. Its very lightweight. reminds me of a lighter version of loreal infallible pro matte. one thing I noticed was that the color was nice...but it slightly turned orange after about an hour. Bleh. But next time I'll try with a primer and see if that helps! Its another great drugstore foundation though, definitely - They're stepping up their game for sure.

That looks really nice!! I love the natural look it gives!

I'm definitely more intrigued to try it now!! Hope we get it!!

You say it's more lightweight then the infallible matte, wauw, I think the infallible is sooo lightweight so that's amazing!

I'm curious to try it and compare it to a few other light hydrating semi matte foundation's which seems to be the trend lately. They all have a soft focus finish to help give a radiance fresh face look to the skin which I'm enjoying and it's much preferred to help balance out the glow fresh finish. This type of finish also pairs well with cream blushes and other cream product's in general. Thanks for sharing :)

It looks great on you very natural but nice coverage! I don't think I will try it because maybelline shades are completely off for me. Thanks for sharing :-)
