What our reviewers had to say about the matte-finish, hydrating foundation
The Review Crew® panel
Beauty Crew sent Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation, which offers a semi-matte finish with medium coverage and extra hydration, to a panel of women aged between 18 and 39 with normal or combination skin.
What they loved
How matte it left their skin: Reviewers commented that the product left a soft matte finish, which was particularly handy for those with oily areas.
The texture of the product: Members also made mention of how the gel-like formula felt light to wear and was hydrating on skin.
How it covered imperfections: Many Review Crew® members loved how the product offered medium coverage and helped cover problem areas and imperfections.
This may not be for you if...
You have yellow-based skin: While the Review Crew® panel found that the foundation gave a natural finish on pink-based skin tones, a few did mention it would be handy to have shades with neutral and yellow undertones available.
