Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid Foundation - 10 Ivory

This is by far my favourite drugstore foundation. I usually use Fenty Soft Matte or Nars Sheer Glow but this is almost like a mixture between the two. It has more coverage than sheer glow but leaves a lovely dewy finish. I find that once I use a setting powder or spray on this it lasts all day without touch ups which is a rare find for me. I think it’s a great alternative to high end foundations, this is now my go to everyday foundation and the higher end brands I save for special occasions. I do find that the shades are a little darker than the name would suggest (eg. Porcelain is not as light as you would expect) so I would definitely recommend trying in store before purchasing.

I like it because thanks to hyaluronic acid, this base provides a fresh and comfortable feeling all day long. Perfect for dry or mixed-dry skin, providing real hydration. It is not matte or excessively glowy: (it has that healthy glow that many seek without looking oily) leaving the skin with a natural and luminous finish as a perfect base for the skin. I would recommend it because it covers light spots and redness well without looking heavy. You can apply a second coat if you need more coverage and it feels very light as if it were a colored cream.

This one is my regular winner. Of course, perfection can't, but it's getting close, so 5/5 anyway. It looks natural, but still covers well (medium-buildable). I'm a fan of the radiant version because I like the natural look better. I have enlarged pores, which he 'covers' well. It crawls slightly into my fine lines on my forehead and laughter lines at the mouth. I apply it with a beauty blender, because I like it best blended and the most natural. There are a lot of colors, I think it's a match for everyone. Ivory is my winter color. I have a warm undertone (slightly yellowish). Nude beige my intermediate color and sand my summer color. It oxidizes (gets a little dark depending on longer) slightly, but not much!!! It really stays good for a long time. I can safely go on for a whole day.

This is a must have foundation! It is very easy to apply. I do this with a beauty blender. The foundation looks very natural and I really love that! I also really like the color, it's not too orange or anything. I also have another tip: buy it in the colruyt where it costs only €7.89 instead of €14.99 in the kruidvat. So you can score it in the colruyt for a good price!
