Makeup Review: Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid

Hey guys, so today I'm doing a makeup review! Wow, I hardly ever do this so like lets go! I am reviewing a Maybelline foundation.

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid

This product is a liquid foundation and I bought it in December. It comes in all colours and I bought this off a man in a mall with a market stall/stand. The trouble with big brands like Maybelline and Rimmel especially in shops like boots and superdrug is that they don't cater for a lot of black women and finding black makeup in these brands is incredibly hard and when you do it isn't the same price as makeup for lighter shades and I don't really like or understand that. Here are some brands that do lovely makeup for all skin colours:

• Bobby Brown cosmetics 
• Fashion fair cosmetics 
• MAC cosmetics 

Methods of applying the foundation: 

1. Applying by hand 

Sometimes when I can't find sponges I just squeeze some of the foundation on my hand and then rub it into my face like it's cream. Probably isn't the best way but it's the fast way. 

2. Applying with a sponge 

Most of the time I use a sponge, any random pound store/primark sponges. I squeeze foundation onto the back of my hand, dab the sponge on it and rub it into my skin, places that I pay particular attention to: 

• Forehead 
• Eyelids
• Under eyes 
• Cheeks (Have a few spots there)
• Jaw line (To make sure there is a smooth transition from face to neck and no strange looking foundation lines.

The foundation is worth the money but the only this is I think I paid a lot less from what it is actually worth. I was charged £4 and I thought that was super cheap for a maybelline product! It is quite a good product to me and I was generally surprised it was in my skin colour. The highest price I found on the internet for it was £8.99 but, you have to be cool like me and first by a foundation for £15 and then find a £4 designer one and return the £15 one because that's exactly what happened LOL. 

It's a good product in general, when I apply it, it makes me look a little bit lighter than usual. I'd say that's a good thing, not because I want to be light skinned but because makeup is supposed to enhance your features and make you look a little different, so what use is wearing a foundation the exact same colour as your skin... there's not much difference! 

Me in the foundation along with some other products!
