Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation

Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation ($10.99) is a new hydrating matte foundation. Wait, what? Hydrating and matte? Is that even possible? That’s exactly what Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation is though! This is a new hydrating matte finish foundation that promises to keep skin moist yet still manages to provide a smooth, matte finish.

Dry skin is a pain to deal with but oily skin can can be both rewarding and equally as troublesome as dry skin sometimes. Controlling oil and shine and curbing dryness and keeping skin moist is incredibly difficult sometimes. When skin is dry we tend to want to add as much moisture as possible but we risk creating unnecessary shine. With oily skin our first instinct is to to control shine and we’re reaching for powders to mattify but there is such a thing as over mattifying which in turns leads to dullness, tightness, and even flakiness that’s because you may be curing shine but you’re also not providing enough moisture to skin. The question is how does one get the perfect balance?

That’s where Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation comes into play. Soft, matte, and hydrating enough for drier types without sucking moisture from skin yet gentle, matte, and lightly hydrating for oily skin to curb shine yet still provide a bit of moisture that won’t make you more oily or greasy. So yes, hydrating matte is totally a thing and Maybelline harnessed the power of it and put it into a foundation that both dry and oily skin users can enjoy.
