I wasn’t going to bother trying it since it seems cushion foundations are a mixed bag for us combo/oily skinned folks. But after hearing a few raves, of course I caved.
My beef with cushion foundations in general is the lack of product for the money you spend. The packaging of the Maybelline Dream Cushion Foundation is nearly identical to L’Oreal’s Lumi cushion foundation.
Both brands give you 0.51 ounces of product, which is about half of what you get with a bottle of foundation. The complaint most people have is that it dries out so quickly.
There are eight shades of Maybelline Dream Cushion to choose from and it retails for roughly $16, depending on where you shop. I advise to always wait for a sale.
As usual, I tried this foundation out for several days in various ways on my combination / oily skin. I tried it with and without primer, with the included sponge, with a brush and with a beauty blender (damp and dry).
