Types of Maybelline foundation creams

Super Stay 24H

Because of unique "freshness pigments" in the cream’s formula, the coating is resistant to hand and phone contact as well as inclement weather (like snow or rain).

Silky and nearly undetectable on the skin. The tone is applied with ease and uniformity (using your fingers or a brush). conforms to the skin’s color.

There are eight shades of the foundation cream available: natural, peach, and golden beige. The finishes come in two varieties: matte and with a hint of natural glow.

Balances the skin’s tone, doesn’t make the skin feel heavy, and lasts for a full day without drying it out.

Affinitone

Argan oil and vitamin E are the ingredients in the formula that moisturize and shield the skin from outside factors. Additionally, the cream’s HD pigment technology makes sure that it covers evenly and adjusts to the skin tone.

Very liquid, but when applied, it does not spread. Applying a thick layer to the skin, it doesn’t feel heavy or give the appearance of a mask.

There are choices for skin with neutral, cold, or warm undertones among the palette’s eight shades, which range from light to dark beige.

Because the composition contains moisturizing ingredients, it applies to the skin in a thick and even layer that does not highlight peeling or clog pores. Additionally, it flawlessly conceals flaws thanks to its even and durable tone.

Dream Satin Fluid

The product is almost imperceptible on the skin due to its light, fluid texture, but it effectively conceals flaws and doesn’t clog pores.

With eight shades in the palette, you can easily select the shade that best matches your skin tone. To achieve the ideal color, you can combine multiple at once.

A tiny quantity (volume with a few peas) is sufficient to apply the product over the face and neck. From the middle of the face to the edges, apply the cream. An even tone and smooth, glowing skin are the instant results.

Dream Matte Mousse

The product’s formula includes a unique moisturizing complex that makes the coating feel comfortable on the face all day long, as well as silicone, which evens out skin tones.

Although the mousse’s "whipped" texture is essentially undetectable on the skin, it leaves a fairly thick layer without having the mask-like effect.

There are six colors in the palette: honey, cream, and natural beige.

Conceals and mattes flaws. Apply the makeup to the areas that start to shine the earliest if you intend to wear it during the day. If applying makeup in the evening, apply it all over your face, starting in the middle and working your way out to the temples.

Fit Me!

Fit Me is one of the ingredients! Certain powder microparticles matte the skin and reduce the visibility of pores without causing any damage to them.

It applies to the skin with ease and has a fairly light texture. Use your fingers for a more natural application, or a wide brush for a dense one.

There are over fifteen shades available.

It is, incidentally, simple to select an appropriate powder for each of them from the same line.

Mattifies, conceals pores, and balances out skin tone. Apply from the center of the face outwards, just like you would any other foundation.

Dream Fresh

This BB cream’s formula includes skin-beneficial extracts of aloe vera and chamomile. Moreover, it has an SPF 30 UV filter to shield it from UV rays.

Light, evenly distributes, and complements the tone of the skin.

There are three universal beige tones: very light, light, and natural.

The product addresses multiple issues at once by smoothing, moisturizing, masking imperfections, and enhancing skin radiance. Throughout the day, the tone remains fresh and uniform without having a mask-like effect.

Which Maybelline foundation to choose?

Moisturizing

Use a foundation with extra nourishing ingredients if you want to moisturize in addition to correcting your skin tone (Affinitone with vitamin E and argan oil is a good example).

• In addition, BB cream is great for dry skin (use Dream Fresh) – when applied, it resembles a nourishing cream, but at the same time has good coverage and cares for the skin. If you use BB cream in makeup, you do not need to apply a moisturizer before it.

Matting

Fit Me! and Dream Matte Mousse are two Maybelline foundations that can handle matting the skin simultaneously. By the way, the latter was designed with this in mind. This mousse-textured foundation works well on all skin types, including combination and oily skin. It moisturizes dry areas while drying out areas that show oiliness first. Use a sponge rather than a brush or your fingers to apply the mousse to your skin so as not to disturb its "airy" texture.

UV protection

UV filters are frequently included in the formulas of multipurpose BB creams and other new generation foundations. Look through the ingredients for Dream Fresh.

For makeup without makeup

Dream Satin Fluid can handle both tone equalization and a youthful appearance for the face. It is very economical to use because, like other fluids, it has a rather liquid texture that makes it easy to apply and absorb rapidly into the skin. In addition to evening out the complexion (and covering up small flaws), the product mattifies—making it ideal for people with combination or oily skin—without leaving a greasy residue behind. Apply using a densely bristled brush, then lightly massage into the skin in circular motions.

Maybelline’s foundation selection is broad and accommodating to various skin tones and types, making it a dependable and affordable option for daily use. This review helps you find the best Maybelline foundation for your skin type by breaking down the main characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks of the brand’s most popular foundations, whether you’re looking for full coverage or a natural finish.

10 rules for applying foundation

It’s crucial to adhere to this order when applying basic makeup: use a color corrector first, then foundation to even out the tone and eliminate redness. Concealer is the final, finishing touch.

Apply concealer in two layers if you only need to cover the circles under your eyes and the tone doesn’t need to be adjusted with a color corrector. The first is before makeup, and the second is following foundation application.

Use a primer if your skin starts to get oily by midday. Apply the product to the T-zone before applying makeup to increase its longevity (keep this tip in mind if you have oily skin).

Apply three foundations to your cheeks that are similar in color to your natural skin tone. The one that perfectly matches your skin tone is the ideal choice.

Apply foundation from the center of the face to the periphery to achieve the most natural coverage possible, especially in the neck area, without creating a mask-like effect.

Remember to apply foundation to your neck, ears, and eyelids (to cover up redness), as the skin in these areas is typically a little bit darker than the skin on your face. Blend in a small bit of the product on the décolleté if you’re wearing clothing with a deep neckline.

Remember to check if you have shaded all the areas and that the foundation color matches your skin tone after applying it. You must either go outside with a mirror or stand by the window during the day to accomplish this.

Apply your favorite matte foundation with a sponge after dabbing a little bit of facial oil onto it if you want it to look shimmery instead of matte.

Mixing foundation with a liquid highlighter, like Maybelline Master Strobing, is another way to achieve a natural skin glow.

Three options are available to you: neutral, warm, or cool-toned foundation. Which one is present in your skin? It should have a peach, yellowish, golden hue in the first instance; a pinkish, reddish, or blue tint in the second; and a hue in between the first two in the third. Choose a foundation after determining the undertone of your skin. A foundation that does not fit this parameter will appear unnatural on the face.

The skin undertone can be ascertained in a number of additional ways. If jewelry made of gold looks better on you, it is warm; jewelry made of silver is cold (if both, respectively, neutral). Additionally, observe the wrist veins. If they have a greenish hue, the skin has a warm undertone; if they are blue or purple, the skin has a cold undertone.

Fix the makeup with a transparent powder (Maybelline has one) or a fixing spray to extend the wear of the foundation. Apply the product to the T-zone, which is typically the first area to shine.
