Maybelline: Dream Matte Pressed Powder

Would you buy this product again? Yes

This is my holiest of grails for pressed powder! I'm on my 6th or 7th compact right now. I keep one on my vanity for applying right after foundation & concealer, & one in my purse for touch-ups (which I rarely need with this powder)!

After foundation & concealer, I press this into my face with a puff, concentrating on my oilier T-zone. This sets the foundation so well, no matter which foundation I use (usually Revlon Colorstay, Revlon Photoready, or the new Maybelline Dream Smooth cream)!!

I always stock up on BOGOF or BOGO50, because I will NEVER stop using this for my oily skin.

The only con for me is the packaging. I wish it was a NORMAL compact - the puff covers the mirror, you have to twist it to even reveal the mirror, then open the top to get to the actual powder.

Re: Maybelline: Dream Matte Pressed Powder

Hi, thanks for the review! I'm surprised to see that you get this to work well with Revlon Colorstay. I just bought the powder and have been playing around with it (Colorstay is my HG foundation) but it makes my makeup look soooo cakey. I think maybe I need a new method - I usually buff it in with the elf kabuki. How do you usually apply it?

Thanks!
