I wanted to update my opinion on the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder that I bought in August (I have Medium 0-1 Sand). I like it a bit more now and find myself reaching for it more often than my Cover Girl powder (which I still love). My issue was I think I wasn't using enough of the product; I barely swiped any on a brush and thus it wasn't doing anything. I use a fluffy blush brush (Annabelle A-28) and load some product on it by swirling it like 3 times on the powder for each area of my face; forehead, nose, each cheek, and chin. When I do that, the matte effect lasts longer and it really does make my pores look invisible. I also made a point of washing my brushes more frequently, as oil build up or transfer can really affect the wear of your makeup as well.
I don't find the colour match as awful anymore; it might've seemed incredibly pink the first couple times I wore it because I used it with a BB cream, so I guess it made the pink tones more prominent some how, so I will stick to using Cover Girl powder when I wear BB cream. But on top of my Everyday Minerals and bare skin, it looks fine. It sets my Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch eye concealer in Radiant nicely without looking cakey and powdery.
I would probably buy this again!
