MAYBELLINE DREAM SATIN LIQUID FOUNDATION | Dry Skin Review & Wear Test - Formerly Dream Mousse!

[@kleenex4u]

I just bought this and i usually hate foundation but i actually liked this! im in my 30s with dry skin and it looks very smooth but it doesn't blur very well, but overall i like it.

[@christinacamacho6342]

Without primer and just hydrating my skin. This foundation settled into the frown lines by my mouth. Made me look older. I’m really liking your review about the L’Oréal true match liquid foundation. I’m 48, having NOT worn a stitch of foundation in my younger years so all this is new to me lol.

[@goow]

I hadn't worn foundation very much in the past either before a few years ago! There are so many out there these days it's tough to find the right one. I'm still searching for my holy grail and I've tried over 120 foundations! On the upside, there are probably a dozen in my regular rotation that I really enjoy. Just haven't found perfection yet!

[@angelabrannam3605]

This has been my fav for months now! One of the few I can actually wear that doesn’t look heavy.

[@zainabsalah]

It’s the best foundation for my very dry skin. And it’s way better than the old formula cuz the old one was awful on my dry skin. What i hate about it is the shade. It looks a little bit dark on my skin

[@lacieivie1145]

Hell yes. A woman on KZbin I can relate to. I'm 31 with super dry skin and I am having a hell of a time finding a good foundation. I'll be binge-watching you. So happy you you were in my recommendations. So you have a new subscriber here.

[@goow]

Welcome, Lacie! Here's my master list of foundation reviews - geekoutofwater.com/foundation-fest/ - If you search in the box at the top right of the spreadsheet, "hydrating" and "not drying" will bring up only the reviews that are OK for dry skin!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

Great review - I am not going for anything that could make me look older! Thanks for the helpful review!!

[@cwm5316]

I'm not much of a Maybelline fan. The Age Rewind Concealer and their lip products are the best of this brand for me. The color match of this foundation looked perfect when you did the initial application. My favorite drugstore foundation is the L'oreal Infallible Pro Glow. I'm 60+ so my skin is dry with a little texture and a small amount of sun spots. The Pro Glow over sunscreen and set with a little powder gives me great non-drying coverage. Your eye makeup is stunning!

[@goow]

Pro Glow is a pretty one! I don't think I've ever done a review of it but it's a drugstore staple for me!

[@helpfulnatural]

The original liquid mousse formula of this foundation has been one of my top 3 favorites. I'll have to give this new formula a try, didn't know they changed it other than the name. I also have the Fit Me loose powder and have found that I can only use it with the Fit Me foundation. If I use it with other foundations it looks cakey and flat. What a bummer that it felt dry on your skin. :(

[@RebeccaLyn]

I have the Dream Mousse one that I bought in April and event he lightest shade is too dark and very PINK on my skin.

[@ashlimathews4712]

I have this foundation and I can say that I feel like it makes me look old too. I was excited to see it in stores over the summer. I got it because Maybelline make some of my favorite foundations but I couldn’t get this to work for me. Thanks Shelly!! Loving foundation fest!!

[@WittyOneMN]

Well sheesh, this round of Foundation Fest is not going well. All great reviews ! Thanks for taking one for the team again! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Shelly!

[@heyjenknee]

You did not look old in the daylight. You looked good. I do appreciate your details on the makeup. I wish more people would do the touch your cellphone to your face for a smudge test .

[@goow]

Thanks, Jenny! I don't do the phone test only because of my 110+ foundations, literally only 1 doesn't smudge.... all of the others do. (MAC Studio Fix Fluid)

[@sebmak6827]

Thanks, Jamie! I'll add it to the list!

[@valentinc4243]

Wow, it looks pretty good on you! I bought this and tried it. I felt that it doesnt cover alot, kind of sheer, but made my cheeks look patchy. But its weird, i already saw many youtube videos, and everyone looks fantastic with it, but on me, it did look cakey and patchy....

[@kellymarie7660]

[@gracer7943]

Thank you for reviewing this one for us. I meant to try it when they came up famous for the moose texture but never met anyone that tried this one. It looks like a foundation texture from the 70. Not my thing.

[@dizzigirl11]

I love how brave you are for us. I hope you decide to test a M.A.C one. i've gone through your previous vids and think they suit your skin. I love my M.A.C face and body but being just under a year away from the big 50 i think i need a better coverage/spakfilla lol. Happy thanksgiving

[@lanaereinertsen6281]

This is my daily wear foundation. Mainly because all other Lumi/hydrating foundations I've tried separate into a cakey mess immediately. You are 100% correct in how it behaves. It oxidizes a bit, not full coverage, eh staying power. The key is to lay off the setting powder. It hates setting powder. I only use it (lightly) to extend the hold on my chin and set my forehead wrinkles. Then it stays luminous and not drying. It's a B- for me. Still looking for that Holy Grail.

[@goow]

Our holy grails have got to be out there!! :-D

[@cherylsplace48]

Happy Thanksgiving, thank you for the info. Bummer how this didn’t perform well. I have the same skin issues and turning 50 soon. Like the shadow colors you chose today, really makes them pop!

[@goow]

Thanks, Cheryl! Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Yeah... that’s unfortunate. I’ve really fallen in love with the newer, fairer shades of Maybelline, but I don’t think this one would work for me. Thank you for trying it for us. Happy Thanksgiving! ☺️

[@goow]

Happy Thanksgiving, Amber!!

[@joleenfelio-pettit2813]

Happy Thanksgiving Shelley!! I'm kind of surprised how bad this performed. If I remember correctly this was a hyped up foundation when it first came out. Course many years have passed since then lol it looked very dry almost extra matte on the bottom of your face by the end of the night. Definitely seen the lines and texture with it. Oh to have young skin again and be able to wear these formulas with no worries. 😏 but those days are gone! Thank you for another fabulous review. ❤

[@goow]

Those days are definitely gone! 😂Yeah this was an Allure winner in its previous formula, years ago.

[@nosleep7357]

@@goow No, they are not gone for you. You have beautiful skin. When you are over 65, over 70, then you can say those days are gone. Surely you know you have good skin. If there are things you don't like, there are procedures for them that will make you very happy after the problems are eliminated. CHIN UP!!! ☺🤹‍♀️

[@SoyFrances4]

Its weird i had the Sahara for face skin, DRY and this one is my favorite, of course individuals are diferent, but for me is pretty good even with my rosacea

[@helpfulnatural]

While at the store today, I picked up a bottle of this foundation to compare it with the original formula that I have. I bought the same shade as before, #35-Nude Beige. They are not the same at all. The newer formula is much more of a peach shade whereas the old formula is more of a neutral beige. Also, the newer one is much thinner in consistency on the skin, the older version has much better coverage. I hope this new shade works for me, otherwise I'll be totally bummed.... :(

[@goow]

Arg I wish they'd at least stay consistent when they keep the shade names the same!

[@helpfulnatural]

@@goow Agreed!

[@helpfulnatural]

@@goow Tried the makeup today and it's orange. ARGHHHHH!!!!! Had a hard line of demarcation along my jawline despite all the blending I did. Into the donation basket it goes! :-|

@@goow Well, Maybelline has done it again....when shopping the other day I noticed that the Dream Cushion foundation is now reduced for clearance at $6.00. Ugh!!! Why do they keep doing this?! For me, this is now 2 of my favorite Maybelline foundations, I'm now down to 1. If they mess with the Fit Me Dewy + Smooth I'm done. :-(

[@sweetox_9690]

Oh and Shelly, I'm going to try out Lancome Mircle Air De Teint foundation next. There is zero talk on KZbin about it, but that is fascinating to me for some reason. I am going in completely blind haha.

[@atelierbreugnot8956]

Have you tried the Nivea Daily Essentials 24H Moisture + Express Primer for Dry Skin? I've just bought it and I'm hoping it's going to be good.

[@goow]

I haven't but I've been wondering about that stuff after the big trend of everybody using Nivea shave balm as primer! I never tried that but now I'm curious about this!

[@MetamorphosisRox]

Two questions for you: 1) do you think it's better to use a brush or a blender in general? I always feel like the blender soaks too much product but the brush leaves brush marks. So what I usually end up doing is start with the brush and then run a dry blender over it to blur the brush marks. 2) Do you think OABs, over 40 beauties, should wear a luminous foundation or a more matte foundation? Does either one make the skin look better or does it depend on the company? Thanks for this video.

[@kexyglamrock1498]

My daughter asked me that question just the other day,its à personnel thing on the what brush you préfère and sponge,some ppl even like their fingers better,but i Can Say one thing if you have a thick non runny fondation go with à sponge (dont wipe it on) dab it on,if you have a runny fondation use your favorite brush same thing dab it on (if nescessary go lighty over with dry sponge) hope this helps but remember no body's face is the same.happy thanksgiving if your celebrating,its already friday morning here in switerland😁💋 oups did'int see seconde question but thats all personnel préférence aswell,im 44 and i préfère à dewy look but i have normal to dry skin, my daughter has extremly dry skin she does'int know enough about makeup to even knotice à différence but Matt looks horrid on her face,i do think ppl with oily skin préfère Matt and dry dewy. But in the end its all personnel préférence.

[@mirandapontarelli5485]

I use a brush, then I pass over it with a sponge to make sure I get max coverage and no streaks

[@goow]

I always try both a brush and sponge because sometimes the general rules don't apply - for example, normally I would use a brush for a runny consistency foundation, because a sponge would tend to soak up too much product - but there are occasional foundations that just work best with sponge, even when they're thinner. And vice versa! Sometimes a thicker foundation is easier to blend with the dampness of the sponge, but others are patchy with a sponge and require a brush. So I don't really have a preference in general - I don't mind using either one, so I use whichever works better for that particular foundation. For finish, I think it depends on the foundation itself. A matte that looks dry and separates on wrinkles and smile lines is going to age an older complexion, but not all matte foundations are like that. The YSL All Hours or the Cover Girl Matte Made from a couple days ago are both a matte finish that look beautiful and not aging. It is harder for me to find matte foundations that work on mature skin, but they do exist! Personally I feel like a finish that is too dewy looks odd on mature skin, because mature skin just naturally does not have as much glow to it as 20-something skin, so it can seem out of place like something is off. Mature skin can tend to be more dry, and a dewy finish can be more comfortable to wear, so there's that. But it's a whole lot of personal preference and finding the look and finish that both you personally like and that works for your skin's unique issues. My opinion is, wear what you like! It's just makeup; it washes off :)

This is reminding me of the Ordinary serum foundation! It made my skin look terrible.

[@goow]

The only way I could get that serum foundation working on me was very light coverage with fingers. I wore it a lot a couple summers ago but not much since.

[@MsAntigonaki]

Even perfect skin people have issues with serum foundations. I think they’re just so watery, they permeate all the pores and imperfections, making them stand out that much more.

I feel as though you are due for a updated top 5 drugstore & top high end foundation video Shelly. I can't believe how many foundations you have reviewed even, since I found you! Another drugstore dud, no big suprise 🙄 Man, I wish I could find a drugstore foundation I enjoyed enough to reach for even semi regularly. I have all but given up 😔 Oh wait, I guess I like L'oreal True Match well enough. Problem is it starts to break down within 4 hours 🤨 Maybe I should try the Catrice everyone raves about or the Makeup Revolution stick? Oh I don't know, maybe I should just forget it altogether! Stick with what I know works-the 30+ high end foundations in my collection 😂

[@hammypie]

yesss! i can't wait for that video in the future as well ^_^

[@goow]

Yes it is time to wrap them up again because the top 5's definitely have some new entries since last year! I do love the MR stick. I need some more time with the Revlon Candid and the Cover Girl Matte Made but those both super impressed me too. Honestly though, I wouldn't try all of these drugstore foundations if I didn't review them for the channel. I'd probably stick with my high end stuff :)

Alicia Strnad Hoalcraft I thought I was the only person who didn’t like it! I don’t know what the hype is all about it didn’t make my foundation any better it made it drier! I will stick with my pixi glow mist

[@goow]

It definitely could just not work with your body chemistry - it's wild how much a product's performance can vary! Mine doesn't have a strong scent to it, though, which might lean toward a bad one. It's slightly floral but not chemical-y or strong.

[@helpfulnatural]

The only setting spray that works for my normal/dry skin is Milani's. I like both formulas but use the Make it Stay the most. Does not feel drying at all and doesn't change the finish either. I even spray it on my damp beauty sponge to set my under eyes as powder irritates my eyes and makes them look too dry.
