Another foundie on my stash. Presenting, my Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation!



From Maybelline:

• water-based formula that gives skin a light and fresh sensation
• controls shine for an all day perfect and healthy-looking complexion
• evens out skin tone and covers imperfection
• feels soothing and cares for your skin with chamomile, aloe and vitamin E

Likes:

• water-based formula that makes it easy to apply
• color blends my skintone well (i have the SAND)
• does not have that make-up scent
• does not dry up too quickly (so we get the time to blend it well)
• glides on the skin smoothly
  
• moisturizes my face well
• contains chamomile, aloe and Vitamin E to nourish the skin
• feels cool when applied to the skin
• evens out skintone well
• does not cake-up if applied too much (but will really look weird if you do so)
• does not irritate my skin
• locally available
• affordable (priced reasonably)

Dislikes:

• Does not really cover my imperfections
• not long lasting (as it vanishes in about 5hrs after)
• for oily skin you really need to wear primer first to make this last longer

Tips:

• apply moisturizer before application (for dry skin)
• apply skin primer first before this foundie to make this last longer (for oily skin)
• use with a foundation brush for a well-blended look
• you can also use your stippling brush for that air-brushed effect
• don't use with sponge as it will absorb your product leading to wastage, instead, use the sponge to even out the part where you thickly applied your foundie to even it out.
• some people say "get the shade lighter than your skin tone", some says, "get the one darker than your skin tone"... screw that hahaha! Be sure to get the shade that is "YOUR" shade, not lighter, not darker, get the Shade that matches your skintone.
• before application, get the right amount (pea-sized) at the back of your hand to warm the foundie so it will be easy for you to spread it on your face.
