Why Didn't I Try This Sooner?!
I've had this sitting on my desk, brand new and sealed for months now and I just wish I'd started using it sooner. It gives such a flawless base with a light to medium, buildable coverage that doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The shade I picked out (115 Ivory) matches me perfectly, but Maybelline came out with a whopping 40 shades so there's bound to be something for everyone! Even though this is a matte foundation, I wouldn't say that it dries down cakey. It looks smooth and the formula leaves room for skin to breathe, reducing the risk of clogged pores if you wear makeup on a daily basis. If you want a great balance of matte with a little glow then I'd recommend using Becca backlight priming filter as your primer so you get the best of both worlds, but I've tested this foundation with several different types of primer and they all look great in my opinion. A perfect drugstore foundation that should be part of everyone's collection.
