As many of you who follow me on Twitter may know, I have been on the hunt! I have been on the hunt for the perfect (or semi-perfect) drugstore foundation. Drugstore foundation shades always seemed to be a bit off to me in high school so for the past five years, I have toggled between MAC, Clinique and Make Up For Ever foundations. (Note: Make Up For Ever is my favorite...hands down!) Well, to be quite honest, neither of the brands I mentioned are exactly "budget-friendly." Since I wear foundation most days, I decided to hunt for something a bit less expensive.
It just so happened that as I began my hunt, I read The Glamorous Gleam's most recent blog highlighting the new Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation. Since I know she has skin similar to mine, I figured it would be worth a shot. (Note: The $2 coupon I had helped too!)

My Thoughts
I can honestly say that I do not regret this purchase. I love how blendable and easy to apply this foundation is. You can apply it with your fingers if you want; however, I used a stipple brush. Also, the color goes wonderful with my skin. My only gripe is that this is NOT best for people who either have oily skin or a work/school day beyond eight hours. By the time I got off work around 4:30 p.m., most of the makeup was gone from my chin and nose. Mind you, I applied a primer and used an oil-control setting spray. Yikes!
Would I Purchase Again?
Believe it or not, I would. Even though I have super long days the majority of the time, my extended days aren't everyday. This would be perfect for a Sunday where I am going to church or any short period of time.
What do you think? Had you heard of the Nude Airfoam Foundation?
Thanks for reading & God bless!
I just bought this...Still adjusting because I LOVE makeup forever, but it is good for what it's worth! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteNo problem Brittany. I appreciate you reading. I love MUFE myself but it was hurting my pockets, LOL.

I don't really do too many drugstore brands. Since I have been following a variety of beauty blogs I have tried a few items based recommendation. Honestly they don't live up to my expectation. Bobbi Brown makes a great foundation I would recommend. Also Nars makes a great foundation. I realize they are a bit pricey but you need less product and it last longer. I have tried Revlon PhotoReady and been satisfied with Revlon's performance. But again I truly recommend Bobbi Brown. I don't understand why I don't hear more about Bobbi Brown line when review beauty post. Every Bobbi Brown product I own I love.
ReplyDeleteOil control spray? do tell. looking for a good oil control product.

I definitely am enjoying it for my shorter days. It is definitely something for everyday use and not extended days.
