Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth All-in-One Foundation (Nude Beige)


Being the conscious person that I am, skin wise, I always make sure that what I put on my face is non-comedogenic, be that in a form of a moisturizer, foundation, or concealer. Mahirap na, diba! So upon reading good reviews about this little baby right here, I immediately grabbed myself one when I went to the mall a few weeks ago. And since I'm a student, I don't have that much time to do my make up so this product is heaven sent! Can be used for touch-ups too! If I remember correctly, Maybelline was having a 10% promo on all items that time so I only got this for like 119php (2.89 USD). Very affordable, diba?

This isn't my first time trying  this particular product. The first time I did was when I bought the wrong shade (Honey) which turned out to be too dark on me. But this time I'm really happy to get the right one! :-)



This product right here sure does promise a lot! Well I'll be the judge of that! -__-



SWATCHES (Nude Beige)




Coverage: I think it only offers medium coverage. For me anyway, since I have blemishes to conceal. But nothing that a good concealer can't take care of! 

Oil Control: This is what wowed me the most. I have combination skin, and my T-zone area is where I oil up the fastest. But with this on, I only have to blot ONCE! Yup, you read that right. ONCE! :) 

SPF: This is a wonderful treat for commuters like me. Such an affordable foundation containing an SPF of 25! YEY!

Instant Fairness: I love how my face looks glowing when I have this on. It doesn't look obvious and it almost feels like second skin! 

Long Lasting: Yup! On a regular school day this stays put (with touch ups of course) for 5-6 hours! Not bad, considering the kind of weather we have in Manila :)

Hypoallergenic: Yes! I'm happy to report that even though I have acne prone skin, I did not breakout from this! YEY!

Would you recommend this? Big YES! Need I say more? 

My rating: 5/5!
