Maybelline Pure Makeup Shine-Free Foundation with H2O

Pros: Inexpensive, long wearings looks natural, no breakouts, covers well
Cons: May not have enough coverage for some

I had no reason to buy Maybelline Pure Makeup Shine-Free Foundation with H2O. I don't have oily skin - in fact, I lean toward dry. I don't need foundation, that's for sure. And I didn't think this cheap little tube of foundation would be worth a ...

Cons: doesn't cover redness or smooth over large pores/blotchiness, still need powder

Pros: Great light consistency, blends in easily, lasts all day, leaves skin smooth and even
Cons: Not enough coverage alone, Pure concealer is not an effective counterpart

A few months ago I received Maybelline’s three products from their Pure line of makeup free in the mail. I already reviewed the M aybelline Pure Concealer which didn’t impress me at all. Now I will review the makeup, ...

Pros: light coverage, evens skin tone, $5
Cons: some shades are off a bit, but it could be just on me

Pros: Bargain price, light formula, non-greasy, oil-free
Cons: Doesn't cover heavily, t-zone has shine after a few hours

Pros: Feels light & smooth once applied

Pros: Applies smoothly with okay coverage.
Cons: Doesn't last long on oily skin. Shades not light enough for skin tone.

I've been using Maybelline Shine-Free foundation for about two years now, but it seems to have been replaced in stores by the new Maybelline Pure Makeup foundation. The main reason I liked the old Maybelline Shine-Free foundation was the good color ...

Cons: Does not turn a frog into an actual princess :)

Cons: Made my nose oily, have to use an applicator sponge, doesn't cover zits

This is my first Foundation. At 16, I've never really worn much makeup except a little lip gloss and mascara, but when I saw this I decided to buy it. The fact that it's 50% water based instead of oil is what drew me into buying it. Let me start off ...

Pros: Good price, works well, variety of skin tones
Cons: None

If you're like me you, at some point have oily skin. The last thing we want is to have oily makeup to intensify the fact. It's especially hard when you have combination skin, and have dry skin, but an oily T-Zone. Coming across Maybelline Pure. makeup ...

Pros: Light texture, oil-free, sporty packaging, excellent variety of colors
Cons: None! Except that NYC drugstores don't seem to carry the matching pressed powder.

Cons: Acne breakouts may require some concealer under makeup.

I am in my 40's. I never even tried foundation until my late 30's. When I did start wearing foundation, I was stumped as to how women found the right shade. The color samples used in front of the display for the Pure Makeup are a true match for the ...

Pros: Lightweight, doesn't clog pores
Cons: doesn't give much coverage, not long lasting

Maybelline is one of the three drugstore brands I'll regularly buy from. Foundation/skin makeup has been the type of makeup I shop and try the most, and I'm quite satisfied with this foundation.I use for every day basis and have been for over a ...

Pros: No shine. No cake-look. Natural looking. Goes on smooth. Helps acne. Water based.
Cons: Doesn't cover up severe acne scars or dark spots that well.

I'm usually into high-brand cosmetics because the drugstore kinds never have my shade and/or lacks coverage. I was breaking out badly at the time and I came across this product. It targets people who are prone to acne or have really oily skin. Ding ding ...

Pros: Light, clean, inexpensive
Cons: None

I highly recommend this foundation! It goes on creamy and smooth, it never ever feels cakey, and it truly makes my face look and feel fresh and natural. I have heard people say that this doesn't cover up blemishes, etc, but what I have to say is that blemishes are a problem to be handled through skin care (creams, face wash, treatments) and not foundation makeup. Foundation makeup is just that, a foundation on which to build a fresh face for the day. Blemishes, which I personally have, require skin treatments. This is a lovely foundation that I will use for a while.

Pros: Refreshingly light, airy, natural looking coverage. Comes in a variety of colors.
Cons: Short lasting...makeup tends to smear or "run" when the weather heats up a bit.

Maybelline Pure is a refreshing product and feels very light and weightless on the skin, however it is a sheer foundation and does not provide great coverage for those with many imperfections to hide. It comes in a variety of shades and blends easily with your fingertips. Only a very small amount or "dab" on the finger is needed to cover the entire face and the cost is very reasonable.

The only drawback for me was the fact that it would appear to smear or "run" after about 5/6 hours, especially in weather with temps over more than 75 degrees. I don't like touching up my makeup during the day and most women simply couldn't find the time to do so, therefore it probably is something that one would only wear late in the evening a few hours before bedtime, but never to a party because more than likely it would sweat off very easily.

Pros: Wears off after about 6-8 hours
Cons: Covers redness and blemishes, light and airy, doesn't cause breakouts or skin irritations

Overall, I really like this foundation. It is extremely light and airy, much more so than any other foundation I have used. My only problem with it is it does wear off after about 6-8 hours, not completely, but noticeably. So, I would recommend using a longer lasting foundation if you need coverage all day long. Also, I have medium-oily skin with redness and occasional breakouts, but this product doesn't cause breakouts and covers the redness very well! I don't even need to use a separate concealer. It is great! I really enjoy using this product and I've been a loyal customer for over a year now.

Pros: No oil, goes on smooth, matches skin tones well, price
Cons: not good in hot weather, not alot of coverage

I loved the idea of a makeup with water instead of oil. And for under $5 i had to try it. It blends in very well and matched my skin perfectly. I have oily skin and it did nothing to help my skin look less oily. And it didn't really cover my redness on my face. I am not a big fan of liquid makeups but if i do have to use one this would be the only one i would use. I think if you use Maybelline Pure makeup, you really need to use a powder over it, then it would be perfect.
