Review of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation, MAC's Studio Fix fluid with SPF 15 and E.L.F's Small Stipple Brush


This is going to be a review on three different products I recently discovered and started using.

Maybelline Matte Mouse Foundation I want to start with the Maybelline Matte Mousse foundation. This foundation retails for $8.99. It is in mousse form and it feels more powdery then moussey or creamy. The foundation works great for oily skin types. This has really kept me matte most of the day, its amazing. I really recommend it if you have very oily skin. If you have dry skin with dry patches I do not recommend this at all. It is very matte so the foundation will cling to your dry patches and make them more visible. The coverage is medium to full. It is very long wearing and blends very well. Apparently this foundation has been around for many years but I never had the urge to try it. I am glad I did though, it's definitely one of my favorites and my main foundation now.

MAC's Studio Fix Fluid with SPF 15 Foundation This foundation retails for $17.00 at MAC. I just got this foundation but i used it a couple of times already. I used it on Sunday to go to the beach and well it didn't do so well with the heat. My face did get oily and I even used the  MAC oil control lotion underneath the foundation that day. I used it to go to work and it was good during the day but it is not a matte foundation so you will have to blot your face through out the day. Overall it is not bad at all, i have used many bad foundations. It is long wearing and smooth and blends very nicely with a brush. I would say that the coverage is light to medium. In conclusion I do recommend this product.

E.L.F's Small Stipple Brush This brush retails for only $3.00, it is super cheap and it works great. The brush is very good for blending liquid foundation. It applies very smoothly and evenly. It does not streak either and it is small enough to get into small areas in your face like under the eyes, side of your nose, eye lids, the area between the nose and mouth. Compared to the regular size stipple brush it is amazing. This brush actually works, I truly recommend this so go buy it.
