| jess_xox0's Full Review: Maybelline Pure Makeup Shine-Free Foundation with ... |
|
Today, every woman wants flawfless looking skin. Wait, not just flawless-looking, they want completely naturally- flawless skin. Wow! Okay…I haven’t been wearing foundation for a long time, but I have had a chance to try out a few. I’m addicted to foundation now, I love it….but I’m just like any other woman when I want my skin to look like its naturally flawless, not “perfect” because I slathered on an extra face. Next, instead of “flawless looking,” women want plain out flawless skin! So then again, on the search for a foundation that would actually sooth tired and stressed skin so that it actually helps your delicate face. Also, being a lifeguard means that I have to have a foundation that can live up to the hot, sweaty, humid environment of the pool, so I didn’t want something that would melt off my face as I worked. What I was looking for was a foundation that was oil-free (cut those grease slicks out of my day please), fresh & flawless and that would actually help my skin. SPF protection is nice in a foundation, but have some in my daily moisturizer, which I have been finding more and more of them do contain. I found this Maybelline pure. Foundation, and after reading about it, I definitely wanted to give it a try.
The Product
The foundation came in an excellent squeeze tube (I love them for getting every last drop out), and there were so many shades to choose from (wonderful for matching skin tones). The make-up was smooth, but felt more like a gel than a cream, which I found really nice and refreshing on my face.

The Claims
• Shine-free foundation with H2O
• Oil free
• 50% water, won't clog pores, flawless finish
The Results
The make-up blended so well it really looked natural. It had a medium coverage which I found was great. So far, so good! I found that it was so easy to apply, which made it so easy to over-apply. Not too much is needed, more can always be added after. It did an awesome job of evening out my skin tone. I love the fact it contains aloe and chamomile which really relax my skin and make me look awake for those 6 a.m. early bird swims. Around the pool I found it to hold up quite nicely. In the heat & humidity of the pool, I do sweat a bit but I found if I just remove the sweat & oil with an oil absorbing sheet, touch my face up with a bit of powder and my make-up looks fresh all over again as if I had just put it on! One thing I did find was that it can rub off a little to easy. Changing your shirt or resting your head on a white pillow...watch out.
