So you know how I’m always on the quest for the perfect concealer? I do tend to get all Indiana Jone-like when it comes to locating concealer. By now I’ve tried hundreds……What? Some people love eyeshadow, some gloss, and me, I just happen to be passionate about concealer.
Get this, good times, I discovered Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer this weekend and I likey. I know right? That’s so saying something considering I wouldn’t trust the drugstore with something as important as concealer. But indeed its heck of a good stuff.
Jump for the review.
I kinda dig on Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation, I mean it’s not OMG incredible but it is decent so I was ever so willing to indulge in the new Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer.
Honestly, I didn’t expect alot. I’ve tried drugstore concealer here and there and I’ve always been far, far, far from impressed. But Dream Mousse Concealer is the real deal, very good stuff, count the Muse oh so impressed.
So basically it’s about the same texture as the foundation. It’s a fluffy whipped affair that’s feels super smooth and creamy but also sports a slightly silicon-feel. It could prove a bit too much for some because it’s honestly a very rich formula that’s heavily pigmented. For me? It’s a love. You have to be uber extra careful when you apply and just use a tiny bit as too much could make you look scary as all hells. A tiny dab should cover your entire eye area up very nicely as it’s pigmented enough to work magic on fine lines, dark circles, etc……I was worried it would crease and cake since the formula is quite rich but thankfully not it wears quite well throughout the day minus creasing.
The danger is there and you can easily go overboard with it and end up very disappointed so remember just a tiny dab for each eye will get you really great coverage. It blends very well and conceals all my problem areas perfectly.
Overall, you can count me impressed. I need to use it a few more days before deciding but I’m leaning towards adding this one to my HG (holy grail) collection of concealers. It’s smooth, it’s creamy, it’s crazy pigmented, and it makes this Muse all fresh and awake looking. I’m thinking this one deserves a great big Muse Approval!
Loves it!
Worthy of a haul in my humblest especially if you’re suffering from tired looking eyes. I got mine at Target for $6 bucks and some change.
Anyone try?
Dying to hear what you think!

thanks for the review! I myself am either into Benefit Erase Paste or Clinique All About Eyes (covered with a good dusting of Powderflage, of course) but this would be worth a try when I want to give my wallet a budget rest
hey misstat!
Not much for Erase Paste myself but love Benefit Boi-ing
which all about the eyes are you using? Was that the click pen? I like that one myself 
Loved Dream Matte Mousse Foundation myself but it rubbed off like crazy. I really want to try/love the concealer!
hey marsadie!
I only use it on off days when I’m running around for this and that otherwise it’s def not an HG foundation for me
I really like the concealer, count me impressed, that’s saying something as drugstore concealer + the muse=FAIL!
well it’s not a click pen. hmm… ok. It’s a tube-y thing. Kinda like TFSI? It covers well , and it’s very creamy but sometimes it settles into the tiny little lines I obsess about (I’m only 23, so they’re probably not as bad as I think they are lol) so, not HG at least just yet
oh yes I know the one misstat! Hmm will have to give it a whirl!
Wow… I never would have guessed that this concealer was any good!! Thanks for changing my mind, I am on the hunt for a better concealer now so this post was very well timed!
love it Jen! it’s quite good
If you try give me deets how you like or dislike it curious minds!
Oh, I do love your concealer posts. I think after reading this, this concealer jumped the queue. Especially after my not so successful first test with the Clinique All About Eyes concealer….
Thanks
nia try it, LIKEY, alot
Oh, I tried to get it, but they do not have it yet (I hope) here… as always, we are the last to get stuff
damn nia! hopefully soon! Really loving it!
where are you hun?
There you are, making the wait really easier
I am in Switzerland, the land of cheese and chocolate!
Cool I wanna try this! I’ve always had a soft spot for Maybelline out of all d/s brands especially their mousse products. Could use a good concealer for me undereyes!
blu, really like it! Good stuff
Thanks for the review Muse! It’s funny how your thing is concealers when, well from what I can tell from your pictures, you don’t look like you have anythign to cover up! I, myself am always on the hunt for the perfect concealer as well as foundation. Nothing ever lasts well on my uber oily skin
BTW, what are your top fav concealers? ^^
You are TOO kind Betty
I cover it well LOL!
My favs are the Bobbi Brown Concealer Palette, Mally Concealer System, Shills Electric Eye, Kevin Beautymaker Concealer, and this could slide into number five!
I have reviews up for most of this stuff if you need ‘em!
How about you?
Fav 5?
Muahahaha. I knew you would eventually find something at the DS you would like!!! Grats on HG =)
aha thanks Jodie

hi muse
is this good for concealed blemishes and acne scars?
i saw this at walmart yesterday and i wanted to buy it but i wasn’t sure.
im not sure rachel. I honestly don’t conceal my pimples and stuff with concealer. I do worry this may be a bit much for the face as it’s so pigmented but you never know, it might work a treat, so far it’s acted as my under eye concealer only and that’s been a fab-o experience hun!
I loved Maybellines Dream Liquid Foundation and I thought I would feel the same about the concealer. I’ve bought and used the concealer and I hate it. It makes my undereyes area look extremely dry and when I smile it really creases my undereyes like crazy. Oh well.
(Hey, my site is also running on the Thesis Theme ^_^)
Oh, thanks for the hint. You get the YSL recommended a lot in shops. As soon as you ask for a concealer, they give you the Touche Eclat. Will look for the review.
Have a good weekend!
Nia it’s a nice to have but the dior is WAY better
here hun:http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2008/06/dior-skinflash-radiance-booster-pen.html
Have a fabulous weekend doll!
Thanks, more moisturising is def better. And the gold packaging really is tacky!
nia agreed especially for my old, tired eyes
I agree not loving the packaging
I heard bad things about the foundation though. like it cakes or something.
Is this better than the foundation?
Hey Mandy I’ve heard that it stinks too, the foundation that is, but I kinda like it
I really liked the concealer, it’s turning into HG for me 
mind letting me know what colour did you get? would want to get it off the net because its not available where i am yet and it looks good!!
01 light sephiria. Hope this helps!
I have two “wrinkles” under my eyes. One under each eye, that I’ve had since I was really young. They are pretty deep and I was wondering if this would crease on me.
hi hailey it doesn’t crease on me but it all depends. depends how dry your skin is, how much prepping you do before using, etc..I can’t really say if it will or won’t crease on you as results will vary from skin type to skin type. I can’t say how it would react on two wrinkles? I have fine lines and didn’t experience creasing but my eyes are well hydrated so that helps.
Hope this helps?!
I myself suffer from very dark undereye circles…its herditary
..And when i say very dark i mean…VERY DARK all around my eyes..its pretty scary..neway, i have been looking for a good concealer that gives me great and full coverage without having to spend $30…ive tried…maybelline mineral power..covergirl invisible..covergirl trublend..covergirl concealer stick…neutrogena sheer cover kit..hardcandy pallette etc….the neutrogena and mineral power ones were good…but they never gave me the kinda coverage i needed. Today i bought the dream matte mousse concealer and OMG….I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED ABOUT MAKEUP!….as soon as i put it on my mouth dropped. i could not believe how well the coverage was and easily it blended into my skin. i HIGHLY recommend this product..i almost started crying of how good it worked.
hey stephanie! aw I understand
I really LOVED this too so it’s nice to hear you’re enjoying it so much! Awwww I’m so glad it works that great for you doll! It’s always so exciting when I find an HG concealer 
!
After Lancome’s Photogenic concealer went into oblivion (along with Prescriptive’s Flawless Skin concealer), I thought I was doomed…I tried Giorgio Armani’s new concealer, one by NARS, and none of those seemed to be right!! Very annoying. I was in the drugstore picking up some necessities, and thought I would just *try* the Dream Concealer…and it’s literally amazing!! Dare I say it might even be better than the Photogenic…and the Flawless Skin…it goes on so smoothly and almost disappears!! I’m in love!!!
yay elise
so glad you discovered this! Must agree it’s incredible, truly a great concealer and very much better than both photogenic and flawless skin 
chocolate! w00t! No likey cheese though haha!
Nia do you guys already have the mousee foundation? hopefully soon you’ll see this 
!
Yes, we have it, so I hope it will arrive soon
Otherwise I will test the YSL Touche Eclat, but it will be a pricey test.
oh nia don’t get the YSL if you can get the dior pen much better! I have a comparison review up around here somewhere! yay I hope you see it too dear!
