We all know how hard it can be to choose that perfect foundation that suits your skin type and covers any blemishes or problems areas, whilst still being invisible to the eye.

I know all the rules about shopping with no foundation on so you can try a foundation on your jawline, testing it out in natural day light and of course not trying the foundation on your wrist or hand. However when ever I go shopping I seem to forget all the ideas and resort to testing the new foundation on the back of my hand! This is probably the reason for my many foundation disasters including foundations too dark for your skin tone giving a lovely tide mark foundations that leave your skin looking oiler than when you started and worst of all the extra matte foundation that leaves you looking like you have covered your face in talcum powder.

I have just discovered Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse which of course I bought after trying it on the back of my hand! However much to my surprise when I got it home I found that it was indeed the perfect match for my skin tone.  The foundation feels very light on your skin and blends easily to give perfect coverage for those blemish prone areas. I found the formulation worked to control those oilier t-zone areas without caking on the drier patches. It also has the advantage of being very reasonably priced so I will certainly be sticking with this foundation.
