Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Liquid Foundation (Rs 700)
About: ‘Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation helps skin appear completely pore less with our first liquid mousse foundation. Our lightweight, air-whipped liquid blends on to transform the look of skin. From flawless to impeccable, even coverage. Our new satin perfect finish!
Shade- I got the shade B5 which is the darkest shade in this range. The shade is a perfect match for my NC 35-37 yellow undertone skin but there are no shades for darker skin tones which is a major con.
Packaging- Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Liquid Foundation comes in a glass bottle with a beige colored pump dispenser. The packaging is nothing fancy but the dispenser is really receptive to touch and doesn’t mess up at the mouth of the pump.
Texture & Formula- The foundation has a lovely texture. It is somewhere between a mousse and liquid foundation. The formula is thick but not that it doesn’t blend or looks patchy .It blends super easily and provides a flawless base. My pores are less visible. It provides a dewy finish and those having dry skin will love the formula. But for my combination-oily skin, the formula is little too dewy and I need a good layer of powder to keep shine at bay. The foundation has no fragrance.
Coverage/Pigmentation-The foundation provides light, very natural coverage. It is a great foundation for daily wear as the formula isn’t heavy on skin. However, you can build up the coverage to medium. It doesn’t look cakey. The foundation will even out the skin and blur redness but major skin issues need concealing.
Staying Power-Maybelline Dream Satin Skin foundation stays for about 4-5 hours on me in this hot-humid weather .I can see it melting when I am out in the sun and it does get transferred to other objects like tissue, cell phone which is another con of this foundation.
Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Liquid Air Whipped Foundation is available online at Nykaa
Overall Thoughts
Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Liquid Foundation certainly has some good points but I can’t neglect its low staying power and melting issues. It never broke me out though. The formula is airy and amazing for everyday wear. It is light weight and the finish is very natural. My face looks fresh when I wear this. It does minimize the appearance of pores to some extent. However, limited shades are available and there are absolutely no shades for dusky complexion.
Rating-3.75/5

I purchased this foundation a few months ago, Maybelline has definitely disappointed its customers with this product. I feel it is no better that a BB or CC cream , in fact those products might be better than Maybelline dream satin foundation. for 700 Rs it is a huge disappointment on all levels : not many shades for indian skin( they all have pink undertones which gives ashy finish) , low coverage , low staying power, leaves patches on the skin if not blended well or if skin it not well moisturized, makes the skin ashy tone and dull after it oxidizes .
I really advise that you test it in a counter first before purchasing : as in try it on your face yourself, dont let the sales girls do it, then leave …observe how the foundation responds to your skin throughout the day and if you are really happy with the result , you can buy it the next day . Hope this helps . Also dont be fooled by the reviews on youtube, My cousin sent me sample of the same product from the US, it is like a totally different product guys !!! the texture is different, the coverage is different the US and UK version is good , but we get a different one in India.
