Maybelline Dream Cushion Liquid Foundation 10 Ivory 30ml

I love this, it gives full coverage

So what is a Cushion Foundation? It's a little sponge that's been soaked with a small amount of watered-down foundation. It comes in a dinky mirrored compact, with an applicator like a foam powder puff. You bop the puff on the sponge, it picks up a bit of foundation, you dab this on your face and spread it around with the puff.It's basically the same as applying foundation with a damp cosmetic sponge, which we should all be doing but mostly don't. It's got novelty value and, should you want to carry foundation around with you, is a lot neater and cleaner than tubes and sponges in your bag.I found Ivory a decent shade for my averagely fair, British skin. The foundation's matte. This method of application gives a light coverage, but I did manage reasonable camouflage of my dark under-eye circles by sticking my finger into the sponge and dabbing a bit extra on.The single compact's fairly cheap and fun. I wouldn't keep buying these: apart from anything else, that's a lot of plastic waste if you're throwing each one out as it gets used up. This tiny amount of makeup won't last long at all, but I can't see why you wouldn't wash the sponge out and refill it. I might try that!

I like this, always loved Maybelline product since a teen, they always perform well.This is a lovely foundation, but use less than you think you need, then build up as required.I have a fair skin and this one was a good match. I would say it's a medium coverage. I finish with a light dust of Maybelline 24 hr matte powder, lasts about 8 hours.

POSITIVES:I love cushion foundations because they are so easy to apply and this is no different.The coverage is light/medium but it definitely buildable for those that want a fuller coverage.Leaves skin looking smooth and even.Doesn't cling to dry spots/texture.NEGATIVES:I chose the palest shade - ivory - and it was far too orange. It then oxidised even further as the day wore on.Limited shades available is a big negative!It does come off on fingers if you touch your face.TAKE AWAY:The main problem I had with this was the colour. My face is a little bit darker than my neck, so with the lightest shade being slightly orange, it didn't work for me.However, if you have a different complexion I'm sure this would be beautiful on you.Worth the money for some people, but sadly not for me.

I have never used a foundation in this form but I must say, I love it! Ensure you wet the pad, my skin looked flawless. I’m interested to see how long this lasts me, but am sure I will buy again.

Really love it

Really good product. Even coverage, but you only need to use a little. Blends perfectly with natural skin tone. Recommend

good coverage but cakes up and rubs after 2 hours even after using a sheer layer
