The Perfect Airbrush Finish Challenge with Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

Hello dears!

So around two weeks ago, I was challenged by Maybelline to create an airbrush-finish makeup using the Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.

This foundation is their best-selling one that promises a lightweight feeling, even coverage, reduces pore visibility, and gives an airbrush finish.

 So this combo was sent to me to along with the challenge. It came with a duo fibre brush for easy application to achieve that beautiful airbrush finish.

But let's get to know more about the foundation from the website:

 100% PORELESS SKIN

AIR-BRUSHED PERFECTION

Ideal for Normal Skin

Why You'll Love It

• Air-whipped liquid provides perfecting coverage for 100% poreless skin
• Ideal for normal skin
• Oil-free, fragrance-free,  Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, safe for sensitive skin

More info can be seen at the back of the bottle:

This foundation promises you these benefits that you get from an airbrush foundation and more! Plus, it only costs 7% of the price of an airbrush foundation kit.

And this comes in 12 shades all-in-all.

You can get this for only Php 599.00, and with a minimum purchase of Php 799.00 inclusive of the Dream Liquid Mousse, you can get the Duo Fibre Brush for free!

So this foundation is in a glass bottle with a pump. I like that in my foundations because it makes it clean, more hygienic. It's easier to dispense the product as well.

If you're wondering why the pump doesn't have a cap, it's because you can twist it to the left which locks it and stops it from getting pumped.

And now, let's go to the fun part...

 This is the product on my hand.

Consistency is creamy and the scent is very mild, barely noticeable while applying.

 This is the product when smudged.

And finally, when blended.

On my hand, you can see the coverage it provides. It's non-sticky and gives a beautiful matte finish.

To show you how heavy the coverage is, here are photos of my right cheek when it is bare and when I have the product applied:

Impeccable, even coverage indeed! I still need concealer for the really dark ones but it really gives an impressive coverage!

(Please excuse my lips for looking like that. It's not that dry. It looks like that because I somehow put some foundation on them. Haha!)

 And see the finish, it looks very natural, very even, and it does give that airbrush finish!

Here's me with the rest of my makeup on. I just added color and also topped my face off with some translucent powder for a longer wear time.

 

  

What I did to create an even application is I put some product on my hand then lightly dab the duo fibre brush on it to get some amount of foundation on it. I then dab some product on my forehead, nose, chin, and 2 dabs on each cheek. I then blended it from the center of my face to the sides in a small circular motion. Super easy, right?

This product can last the whole day on my face but if you have oily skin like me, I suggest you bring some blotting paper because it doesn't help with controlling oil. But other than that, this is a really good foundation. Great coverage, beautiful finish, lightweight, and affordable, what more can you ask for?

 What do you think of the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation? Have you tried this yet?

Cheers,

Clinique Airbrush Concealer in 04 Neutral Fair

Hey guys!

Sharing this quick post on this very lovely product I got from a Clinique workshop I attended two months ago. I have actually emptied this product this week because it's just so good that I use it everyday whenever I wear makeup!

Clinique Airbrush Concealer in 04 Neutral Fair

This is a sample size product.

This is actually my first concealer from the brand. I don't own much Clinique items because they can be pricey. :( I would love to buy the full size of this but it might take me a while before I can splurge that much money for it.

Anyway, let's check the details first:

Product info from the website:

• Formula Liquid Concealer
• Coverage Sheer

Instantly helps soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Light-diffusing optics brighten shadows. Creamy, light formula flows through for smooth brush-on, precision application. Ophthalmologist tested.

Skin Types: All

How to Use:

Apply on bare skin or over foundation.

Touch on with brush where skin needs brightening cover: inner and outer corners of eye, sides of nose.

Finger-blend into skin using a light, patting motion.

Build coverage by adding more when needed.

Avoid rubbing once application is complete.

Note: The first application usually requires several full turns to initially dispense product on the brush applicator. Subsequent applications require only 4 to 5 clicks, not full turns.

It comes in 3 shades—Fair, Neutral Fair, and Medium.

This is the applicator. You need to turn the bottom of the stick to get the product to the brush. The brush is so soft that I am considering using it as a concealer brush now that I've finished up this product!

Here's the swatch on my hand.

Neutral Fair is just my shade. This is light enough to brighten my dark under eyes and the shade is warm enough to blend with my skin.

Before and After pictures of my under eyes.

It looks better once I set it with powder. It's sheer so the coverage isn't enough for my acne scars but it's just right on my under eyes. It brightens but still gives a natural finish! It doesn't cake as well even with the heat we're experiencing nowadays! It lasts all day as well!

I don't think I have any cons on this product... besides a great under eye concealer, I also apply this on the side of my nose and even on the top of my cheekbones for highlighting! 

Have you tried this product yet? What's your favorite concealer for your under eyes?

Cheers,
