Maybelline has had some hits and misses with their products - from barely pigmented lipsticks to mismatching foundations.
I ordered the Dream Matte Mousse because of the price (on sale for R65) and I wanted something to give me a truly matte finish without drying my skin.
I was given just that with this product. The powdery finish means my blush, eyeshadow, bronzer and highlighter blends beautifully. And after wearing it all day I had very little shine. I do bake with a powder after applying foundation, so this adds to the product's longevity.
Great wear time, great finish, great price point and buildable coverage. Definitely a great addition to a newbie's makeup collection.
