This is the
first lightweight, full coverage foundation from Maybelline that has a spf 50
in it.
This
foundation has antioxidants in it that help to protect your skin from
environmental aggressors. The formula also has vitamin e, caffeine and
niacinamide in it. Niacinamide is an anit-flammatory that helps to reduce the
redness in your skin. There is also has a broad spectrum chemical sunscreen of
spf 50 in it. This foundation has been dermatologist tested and is available in
sixteen shades.
This
foundation is in a squeeze tube that has a little tip where the foundation comes
out of. I am not a fan of these types of tubes. I don’t like that when you release
it, some air goes into the tube. I feel that this makes the product go bad faster.
When I first
squeezed out the foundation I could smell the sunscreen in it. I used my sponge
to apply it and it blended out very well on my face and made my skin look
almost airbrushed. I did notice that you can get medium to full coverage with
it. I initially used it all over my face then I just added a little bit more in
the spots that needed it, and it didn’t look cakey at all. Throughout the day I
noticed that it felt very lightweight on my face, I actually forgot that I had
foundation on. I tried it during a very hot week and even though I was sweating
a lot, it didn’t look that bad at the end of the day. I have dry/dehydrated skin and it came
off a little bit on my forehead, chin and nose but I also had a cold and I accidentally rubbed my forehead. I
expected it to come off of my chin due to sweat, but I was actually surprised
that it didn’t come off the rest of my face. The scent of sunscreen lasted for
about half a day. After that, I couldn’t noticed it anymore but a few co-workers
could smell it a little bit on my face (yes I asked them to smell my face J). I noticed that the expiration date on the tube
says April 2020, normally products with sunscreen in them are good for two
years and not just nine months. Be sure to double check the expiry before you
pick one up.
Overall I
really like this foundation but I don’t like the packaging. I don’t think that
this would stay on during a sweat session, but if you are just outside for the
day I think that this would be good if you have dry/dehydrated or normal skin.
I’m not sure if this would work for you on a very hot day if you have oily
skin.
