I've recently met a foundation that makes me want to shout about it's
WONDERful-ness from the rooftops! That foundation, my friends, can be found at drugstores and will cost you about $10.00 bucks USD. It's the
Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation!
This foundation is an extremely weightless medium coverage option that is virtually undetectable on the skin. The texture feels like a dry oil, and it blends into the skin with the greatest of ease. Part of my life-long makeup routine is finishing my face with a setting powder to keep the oilies at bay, but I've often skipped that step when I've used the Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation. This product dries very quickly to a natural, skin-like finish that looks like
you-but-improved. After watching a few vlogger reviews, I nearly skipped trying this because a few people said it tended to break up after a few hours on oily skin. I am beyond happy I was intrigued enough to take a chance because this is one of my favorite foundations - period. Not just "favorite drugstore foundation". This outperforms numerous high-end bases I've tried. I have a t-zone so slippery you can fry chicken on it, and this foundation has never cracked, creased, or broken up on my face.
The first rule of Fluid-Touch Foundation? Shake it like a polaroid picture! Then, using the handy dandy dropper, I swipe 2-3 pulls of product onto the back of my hand and apply it to my face using a wet Beauty Blender or a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I get a bit more coverage with the brush, but for me, this foundation really sings with the Beauty Blender!

I've been using this foundation since the end of August, so it's been tested through extremely hot, humid weather, as well as chilly, dry temps, and it holds it's own on both ends of the spectrum. I didn't take it with me on my trip out west simply because of the glass bottle packaging (I didn't want any post-flight surprise suitcase disasters), but I missed it. I was so excited to use it again when I got back home! I absolutely love the way it makes my skin look. It makes me look like I've used a smoothing filter when I haven't!
Sidenote: I do not know why the pictures above look SO blurry and smoothed. They have not been edited in any way. I suspect it's my iPhone front-facing camera. I used the rear-facing camera for 2 of the bottom ones, which I'm sure you can tell since they aren't all "soft focus" looking. I'm having camera issues lately (my regular camera is just not very good but buying a new one is extremely expensive and out of the question right now) so I have to rely on the iPhone. I'm sorry these pictures aren't up to snuff.
