Maybelline "Dream Matte Powder"

Oily Skin? Well I can totally understand you girls in that area; So you can have a background, ever since I can remember I had oily skin, and  in summer is the worst thing ever, I have a really oily T ZONE and my checks are normal to dry, so we can say that I have oily to combination skin. So keeping that in mind, this review on the Maybelline "Dream Matte Powder" in the shade  "Sand Medium 0-1" 

The Product Claims
  • To give an Air Soft matte perfection
  • Be oil free
  • Won't clog pores
So I tested this product for 2 weeks straight and I have a lot to comment on. Let's start by saying that this powder, it really does gives a matte perfection that can go on for hours, it is oil free and didn't clog my pores or break my skin out, and I am really acne prone. So the claims that this product makes are really accurate. The Down Side!? If you go overboard with the powder you may end up looking really powdery and the texture it's a little too much chalky but it works!.

Packaging & Presentation

As packaging is concerned they only have a plastic thing with information wrapped around and that's it! that is not the best but it's ok for the price, So maybe 3 Stars for packaging. The presentation, well it has a slide mirror and sponge underneath the powder, that it's actually very convenient for applying while looking at the mirror, for super fast touch-ups during the day and if it happens for you to use the sponge it will help you to keep your powder more clean because you are not putting on top of it the sponge, and 4.5 starts for presentation and functionality.

Staying Power and Covering
Right Side: No MakeUp     Left: Dream Matte Powder

 Here I tested it alone so I can see the amount of coverage that the product alone gave, and as you guys can see the coverage it's really good on it's own it covered all my break outs and diminished my redness.
Then I put on the half with no makeup my regular cream foundation and use the Dream Matte Powder as a setting/finishing powder and as you can see in the next photo the coverage and finish was a little better.
Right Side: Cream Foundation &DMP  Left: Dream Matte Powder alone

I tested my face like this all day, and both sides lasted me looking flawless for about 8h without any touch-ups, after the 8h checkpoint, I only needed maybe 1 or 2 touch-ups of the  Dream Matte Powder with a brush, I also need to say that both sides make my blush stay in place a lot longer.
Price Range: It may vary from where do you find it, but it's around 6 to 10.99$, I Got mine for 10.99 :( but oh well! as I said Prices may vary, try to find a good deal or coupon. :)
I took the trouble to find you good prices where you can purchase them online, for good money. You can click here, here or here. And of course you can go to your local drugstore and buy it there and match them to your skin.

So overall I give this foundation 4 STARS, because of the performance, finishing, not clogging pores and the most important thing if you have oily skin.. The Shine Control.
If You have oily skin, this is a product that you should definitely need to give it a try. hope this helped.
