I Have Dry Skin and Even I Wouldn’t Want To Try Maybelline Green Edition Superdrop Tinted Oil Foundation
Wow the new Maybelline Green Edition Superdrop Tinted Oil Foundation is bringing back those great Instagram days where influencers would drip oil, foundation, and any other number of makeup items onto their skin. It always sort of felt like a reverse ASMR effect in my opinion. Instead of a voice or the crinkling of a wrapper or the snap, crackle, and pop of bubble wrap giving you chills it was that drizzle of facial oil dripping down a well sculpted cheek. That visual sent chills down your back or, if you’re anything like me, it was like the scratching of nails on a chalkboard.
Seriously, whenever I saw someone dribbling foundation or facial oil down there face I cringed. It just made me shudder. I’ve always been of the mentality that people apply a lot of foundation online. I seriously, apply a very small dab of foundation down both sides of my nose and blend out. That’s it. And by the way, I don’t have a dropper loaded with a bunch of facial oil that I dribble down my face pre-foundation. As a dry skin girl you’d think facial oil would be my greatest friend but to be honest it’s something I prefer using in the evening and only a few drops not an entire dropper full.
When Smashbox released their Primer Oil I was the first to say, “No, thanks!” No matter how dry I am the last thing I do is prime with oil. It’s not something that personally works for me. It makes me feel quite greasy and shiny throughout the day. I prefer a heavier moisturizer versus a facial oil. Some folks agree, others don’t, but personally, I’m not into facial oil on my face as a part of my daily routine especially since it really doesn’t play nice with SPF. Facial oil under my eyes to prep with? Yeah but on my face? Nope!
Maybelline Green Edition Superdrop Tinted Oil Foundation combines the moisturizing benefits of a facial oil along with the tint of a foundation. The lightweight formula contains both Jojoba and Marula oils giving skin a “fresh” look. The “Green Edition” refers to the glass bottle that is made from 20% recycled material as well as the formula which contains 84% natural-origin ingredients plus it’s vegan and contains no animal-derived ingredients. It contains no parabens or mineral oil.
If you prep with facial oil or it’s a daily stable in your daily routine you might think Maybelline Green Edition Superdrop Tinted Oil Foundation is a brilliant product. Personally, I’m sitting here poo pooing it. I’m not up for a greasy or shiny look. I’ll try it that’s for sure just because I’m curious enough to do so. Who knows maybe it’ll be brilliantly lightweight and hydrating?
