I had been convinced of 2 things: 1) that powder foundation was better than liquid, and 2) that I would never buy foundation from the supermarket. Once I tried this though, I completely changed my mind! 5 things that I really like about this:

1. Didn't feel oily or heavy at all. Wore it out for an afternoon in the sun and didn't "melt" on me. I applied the foundation with my fingertips and didn't have any powder to wear over it.
2. Colour matched perfectly (but could also be because it's very sheer). Found that it evened out my skin tone pretty well.
3. Looks very natural, not cakey at all
4. Upon close inspection, it does have the effect of "minimizing" pores. It claims to give you that "airbrushed" look and it's right!
5. Pump worked well, doesn't squirt out too much product as some pumps do sometimes

I'm just really surprised at how well this product works, given that it's more affordable than what I had been originally using! I don't know how this compares with other supermarket/drugstore brands (like CG), but I would definitely consider switching over to this foundation and save myself some cash!

Just a note about my skin type: normal, don't have sensitive skin, a bit of rosacea under the nose area, but otherwise no other skin flaws. Overall, this product worked well for my skin type!

I received this as part of the product review club, and I am a make-up junkie and am always up to try another foundation. I have been using a powder for a while now because I had a few bad liquid foundations. The week I received this I had a lot of stress with school and work, I started to have a lot of stress pimples and the powder was not cutting it, this completely smoothed out my skin. The coverage is very smooth and it gives good coverage even on red, inflamed skin. I can see a definite improvement in the look of my pores, they were not completely covered up, but it was better than other liquid foundations I have used. I used a make-up sponge and it was easy to apply and it was blended quite easily. It did not feel as heavy as some other foundations I have used, and if you set it with a powder it doesn't rub off. I did have trouble with under eye coverage, as it seemed to dry out and sink into the creases under my eyes as the day went on. Overall I really like it, and I prefer it to the dream mousse that was released last year.

First a big thanks to chick advisor!

I have to admit that at first I was a bit skeptical as to how well this product would measure up to more expensive brands, as I have had my fair share of negative run ins with drugstore brand foundations. I am very happy to say I was wrong.

I got the light (#3) which turned out to be a shade darker than I needed, but the product blends so well and has a really natural finish that it looked okay once applied. It makes my skin look pretty much flawless, and I like that it has a medium cover that covers imperfections but doesn't obliterate my freckles.

I usually use a pore minimizing primer under my foundation, but for my trial run with this, I skipped it. I have found that a lot of makeup makes my pores look bigger, but this foundation didn't. In fact I think they look a bit smaller!

I always feel makeup on my skin, and am always aware that I have "something on" but I find that with this that feeling is gone. As corny as it sounds I really do forget that I am wearing it, until I pass by a mirror and see how great my skin looks that is.

The only thing I would change is the applicator, while I do like the pump, not enough comes out at a time. Also, this foundation (as with most liquids) does need a translucent powder to set it and keep away the oiliness throughout the day.

I will be buying this in the future!

I was a bit skeptical to try a drugstore foundation( my last experience was with CG in the late 1990's). First off I liked the packaging, the pump was a pleasant surprise and gave me more control over the amount I wanted to use. The foundation formula felt really light on my skin and there was no irritating chemical smell or perfumes that I could detect. The application looked a bit cakey when first applied but once it was evenly distributed with a makeup sponge, it masked 75% of my everyday skin imperfections. My pores appeared smaller after my initial application but as with all foundations, I found they looked pretty normal after a full day of wear, although I found that a skin primer aided the staying power of the foundation. Overall I was quite impressed and I think I will probably pick up a second bottle once this one runs out! I also wish it contained SPF but I use a daily facial moisturizer with SPF year round so it was not a major concern of mine.

I was very pleased with the product since it matched my skin tone extremely well. It looked natural and not caked on. Overall my skin tone looked even. If you're like me and have dark eye circles or a few age spots, then I would recommend using a concealer as well. I finished off with a light sweep of my mineral powder and my face looked flawless.

I would definitely buy this product if it had SPF 15 or higher. I really appreciated the the pump design which is great for avoiding those accidental spills.

The packaging is nice and it's an easy way to dispense the liquid foundation. I have used one other liquid foundation and I had to scoop it out of the bottle with a Q-tip so this was very helpful.

My previous problem with liquid foundations were (1) it'd cake on my face after awhile, (2) it wouldn't last the whole day (either via caking and looking weird or it'd just fade, (3) it'd feel really oily and (4) it feels heavy.

I put on the foundation at 9am and was out the whole day, I didn't get back until 10:30pm. I have very oily and extremely sensitive skin so I was surprised that my face didn't react harshly to this like previous foundations. I put it to the day test to see if it'd last the day. I was impressed that it didn't feel too heavy. Perhaps it was because I didn't apply as much on my face as before (I'm not sure but is a possibility) or maybe because it's just lighter.

It didn't last the whole day for me. By 12:30pm I noticed that the coverage was still there but definitely not as good as the morning. By 6pm it didn't seem to make much of a difference at all anymore. Although my face didn't feel that oily at first by 6pm is was oilier than usual. I should probably carry those oil absorbing sheets with me if I wear this again.

Would I buy this in the store? I probably wouldn't but I don't think it's a bad liquid foundation, it's just not for me. Of this one and the other one I've tried (L'Oreal True Match) I'd probably pick this one because it didn't cake on my face, it's not as heavy and the dispensing method is very convenient. I still had the problem of it not lasting as long as I'd like and the oily feeling on my face. Maybe if I carried a press powder with me to do touch ups it'd be more worthwhile but I don't.

If given the option I'd probably buy a press powder mineral foundation with me so I'm able to touch up when I need to. It's also lighter, does not give me an oily feeling and has an spf. Overall I'd recommend it to someone that was looking for a liquid foundation but would personally choose a mineral foundation over this one.

PROS
-colour matched well
-did not cake on my face (pretty huge)
-gave good coverage
-my skin didn't react to it

CONS
-did not last the whole day
-still have the oily feeling
-no spf coverage

(Thanks Chick Advisor for this!).

I've seen the commercial about 100x, but I'm reluctant on trying new things right away. When it came in the mail I was surprised how large it was - a lot of foundations these days come in smaller containers for more money.

The pump was easy to use, and clean. It gave me the perfect amount every time, which I love. It goes on smooth and gives me a nice, overall finished look that I really like. I'll be buying this product when I run out for sure! I barely noticed it was there (I notice all makeup, even the lightest lightweight, as my skin is somewhat sensitive) and it didn't clump or flake during the day.

The only thing I had a problem with was that there was zero SPF protection, unlike my current 15 SPF foundation.

I have a very fair complexion and I usually find with foundations most shades fall slightly lighter than my skin tone, or slightly darker. I was very happy with how well this product matched my skin and blended in! It's a very light coverage, which works well for me as I don't need heavy coverage. The product smoothed over my skin very well and was quite easy to apply. If you have trouble areas that you want to cover i.e. dark circles under your eyes, blemishes etc., you'll want to use a concealer along with this product. I also found I had better luck when I used a powder to set the product. My skin started to feel a little oily later in the day if I didn't. Overall I think this is a really great "drugstore" product. When it comes to foundations, concealers and powder I usually like to spend a bit more money and get a higher end product. However, this foundation is a great budget conscious alternative!

Start off by saying, Thanks to ChickAdvisor Review Club for this product. Greatly appreciated! :)

I had a hard time getting the product out the first time I used it with the whole twisting and then I had to pump it like 5 or so times to get some stuff. It was just kind of annoying. My usual foundation doesn't have a pump and I prefer it without one.

The instant I put it on my face I was shocked at how it totally matched my skin color. So I was impressed with that.

It made my complexion look a little dry. I have somewhat dry skin, but usually with moisturizer it is fine, but with this product it really dried my skin out. Despite that I've tried lots of foundations and most do this to me.

I happened to get a huge pimple the day I used this foundation(lucky me!) and the foundation just glided over it nicely and it covered it very well.

The foundation feels nice on my skin, its very light and barely there. I prefer a little more coverage than this product. But this can be used for days where Im just running errands or when I just need a little coverage. Its not the foundation I would use for a night out on the town.

Overall I will stick to my Covergirl trublend whipped foundation. But not a bad product from Maybelline. :)

The design and look of the bottle is really attractive and cool. I have used liquid foundation prodcuts before and never liked them, but I must say that for liquid foundations this one definitely stands out. It is much lighter than all of them and very easy to spread. Its not oily.

Compared to the original maybelline matte mousse it does not work as well for me. Matte mousse covers the imperfections better for me and gives me more of a flawless look than this one, which doesnt cover enlarged pores as well as the original matte mousse.

Overall I would recommend it to most people but if they have problems with bigger pores you should opt for the original matte mousse which is just amazing.

If you're a liquid foundation lover then definitely go for it!
