    Awesome!!
    I do not normally use cover-up or foundation of any kind since I tend to have sensitive skin, but this product was amazing. It went on remarkably smooth, and although I did not get the right shade (chose one about a shade too dark) it still blended in and even gave my complexion a glow. I would recommend this for those who have normal skin since it does get a bit shiny after a few hours.

    I want to say thank you Chick Advisor for letting me try and review this foundation as it is a great product!

    I liked the packaging and found that the pump was an added perk as it dispenses just the right amount of foundation making it so easy to use..
    I chose the creamey natural and it was the perfect match to my rather fair skin tone.It provided a good amount of coverage with a nice even balance. My pores looked a bit smaller. I finished with some mineral loose powder and I could hardly feel anything on my face at all. This foundation is really dreamy, creamey and light with a luminous finish.I would highly recommend this product to my friends etc.

    First of all, thanks ChickAdvisor for letting me know about this product!

    Overall, good foundation for general everyday use. It's light weight, sheer and goes on easily. I really liked the pump and cap because they were tight when closed. It was nice to see a large amount of foundation for the price point - although, it might be too much if you're not the type of person who uses it everyday. My skin looked nice and it didn't leave me with the feeling of wearing a full face of make-up.

    On the flip side, I really wish it had SPF in it. Its sheer coverage was good, but I could easily see my pores (which I personally like, but I know others generally don't). At times I thought my skin in the normal oily areas were even more oily. It didn't happen everyday so could just be me.

    In conclusion, I'd definitely buy it again and recommend to friends. For the price point it might be a good idea to save money and start using a new brand.

    I finally received the foundation today. I went to Shoppers Drug Mart to try to choose the right shade for my complexion. I used to buy foundation from MAC. Then I switched to YSL. I had a hard time choosing a shade. I don't think cosmetics companies make the right shades for black women. There were two shades I could choose from. One was too light and the other was too dark. They did not have testers, so I could not try them on. I chose the darker shade. When it arrived today I immediately put it on my face. I liked the bottle and the foundation gave my face a nice finish, however it was too dark. I tried on my YSL foundation to see which one I preferred. I also asked someone if they could tell the difference. They preferred my YSL finish. They said it had a natural finish. I believe that if I could find the Maybelline foundation for my skin colour, I would definitely purchase it. Also, the foundation did not feel heavy at all.

    I'm surprised to actually say this, because I have raved about MAC Studio Fix foundation before... but I think Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation might just be the perfect foundation for me. I absolutely loved MACs foundation, but I recently realized some problems with it. The foundation seems to be a little too dark for my skin, even though I purchased the lightest shade, so it will sometimes leave a bit of an orange streak.

    Now to talk about Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation. At first I wasn't convinced this would give me an airbrushed look. I generally prefer a heavy foundation, and this one went on a bit light. But after a few more squeezes on to my sponge, I was able to get a nice medium coverage that I was satisfied with. It is easy to get the coverage you want without it looking caked on. It goes on very smoothly, unlike some other foundations. And get this, the Porcelain Ivory was PERFECT for my skin. It matches my exact skin tone, which is surprisingly hard for a pale girl like me to find. Foundations are always too orangey (like MAC) or in the case of L'Oreal, chalky white!

    I was extremely happy with the result.

    This foundation mostly covered the appearance of my pores, though as with any foundation, it is hard to really cover all of them. This doesn't really bother me at all. I paired this with my MAC concealer and powder, and it looked absolutely flawless.

    Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation comes with a pump in the bottle. My other foundation doesn't have that, and I hate dipping a brush into it to get at the product. It took a little while to get this pump to work though. I had a bit of trouble getting any product to actually come out of the bottle the first time, it took about 10 squeezes. After that, it was fine. I love how it has a lock, you twist it one way to get the product out, twist it back to lock it so no product leaks out by accident. This is very smart of them to do, and it makes me like the product even more.

    I have used other foundations which I could feel it on my face throughout the day. This foundation makes me forget I'm even wearing it. It feels very light. The foundation lasted most of the day, I need a little touch up right now (6 pm), but I usually expect that with makeup.

    So with that, I think I'm going to ditch my $30 MAC foundation, and go for Maybelline Dream Mousse foundation instead. It's a little less than half the price, and it matches my skin way better.

    I finally got mine today and wanted to try it out asap.
    I havent worn a liquid foundation in a long long long time, I prefer to use the powder foundations, as the liquid ones always make me feel greasy and like my face is going to slide right off..lol
    however, I was really impressed with the Maybelline Liquid Dream Mousse, I didnt need to use alot to get coverage, and it went on light and doesnt make me feel greasy at all!
    I will definitely spend the extra to buy this when my current one runs out!
    I LOVE IT!

    I have been searching for a comparable replacement for my fav (but too expensive) foundation, Giorgio Armani Luminous. I want nice, buildable, coverage with a somewhat dewy finish. I need good colour selection and nothing that will cause me to break out or settle into fine lines. I received a coupon from Shoppers Drug Mart for $4 off plus samples of all of the colours offered which was PERFECT. I really like to test drive a foundation before purchasing. This foundation, although not 100% perfect is pretty darn good, especially considering it's $15 vs the $70 I normally spend. I would definitely recommend this product and will continue to buy.

    I am really impressed with this foundation. I have never tried Maybelline foundations before but this one blew me away. It is designed to create a "completely smooth, totally poreless and perfectly airbrushed complexion", according to the press materials. It really does make your skin look flawlessly smooth without looking like you are wearing makeup.

    I have #3 light/clair and with the bit of tan I still have from my holiday, it matches my skin perfectly. Normally I would probably be a shade lighter. You'll still need a concealer for zits, as with any foundation, but it will make your complexion look perfectly even and smooth. I was especially impressed that my skin didn't get shiny within a few hours. In fact my skin stayed oil free all day long. It's not that is is matte, just that it looks healthy and smooth.

    The top benefits I see in this product are:
    * Perfectly smooth skin and evens out all discolouration
    * Pores become invisible
    * Skin does not get oily or shiny in fact it seems to keep the shine at bay.
    * It looks very natural like you aren't wearing any makeup and just have naturally gorgeous skin

    I would DEFINITELY by this again and I highly recommend it.
