Why You’ll Love It

A pressed powder innovation, Dream Matte™ Powder’s ultra-fine formula delivers an amazing air-soft feel and silky texture.
• Jet-milled into ultra-fine particles for an air-soft, ultra-silky texture
• Revolutionary liquid binder ingredients provide cushiony, smooth application
• Formula ensures superior blendability for even application every time
• Magically matches skin’s texture, never dusts up or settles into lines
My Thoughts:

What an awesome powder for blotting/oil control! It’s great for setting concealer and foundation. I don’t use it as a foundation because it is so sheer. I prefer medium coverage when it comes to foundation. I like how the mirror is in a separate compartment from the powder. You don’t have to worry about the powder dirtying the mirror. The powder puff that comes with it is surprisingly great too. The lasting power is also wonderful. At the end of my work day, my face was still shine free! The powder is very smooth and undetectable. You don’t have to worry about a powdery finish. The best part? No breakouts! Definitely one of the best powders I have ever used.

Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder Foundation Review

By Audrey Dao, on March 26th, 2009,

Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder Foundation ($9.99) Mineral Power Powder Foundation with micro-minerals provides a more natural, healthier, luminous look. Discover the natural power of micro-minerals: 100% natural mica creates a more natural luminosity, complete, yet refined coverage, provides buildable, even coverage, preservative-free, talc-free, oil-free, fragrance-free, and medium to full Coverage.

My Thoughts:

This powder foundation is really messy. Finding the right color for your skin is a little difficult. When you do find the right color match, it provides a natural, flawless finish. The kabuki brush that comes with the foundation is useless and prickly, painful. I use my own kabuki brush to apply the foundation. The coverage is buildable. I wouldn’t say it’s medium to full coverage, more sheer to medium coverage.
