Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

I know I've written this so many times by now, but I really do not like wearing foundation.  However, sometimes I find I need to.  I wanted this Maybelline foundation after reading about it on Makeup Geek.   
It comes out of the bottle nicely, not too thick or too runny: 

I was really impressed with this foundation!  I've worn it many times and used the Sigma F80, my Hakuhodo, and the Beauty Blender sponge, and every time it applied wonderfully.  I really love that it blends so well, it doesn't look or feel unnatural at all.  I liked that it felt light, but I still felt like it had good coverage.  It didn't dry my face out and it made it look much smoother and more radiant than nothing at all.  I always use a setting powder, either tinted or translucent, but I tried this without also and it performed well.  I didn't have a problem with slipping or changing colour on my face throughout the day. 

My shade is Natural Ivory- Light 3, but I also have a swatch of Light 3.5- Nude Beige, as a reference.  Although it is just the next number up, the shades are not even close. 
 
And here is me with the foundation on:



The only negative is that here it cost me $20, as opposed to half that in the U.S. but it's still a bargain considering others are $60.  

I really like this, remarkably it has transformed me into a foundation fan!

  2. It looks very natural on you! I've tried the Revlon Mousse type one (can't remember the exact name) and I liked it. I usually use mineral foundation, but some days you just need a liquid/mousse! It sucks that it so expensive for you! :/
