My biggest question with Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation is whether you really need that Dream Blender tool to go with it. The answer is no, you don’t, BUT, it worked much better than I thought it would and gave a very smooth finish although it’s a little clumsy round the eye area, the only place I needed to smooth out with my finger.
I’m not a matte foundation fan at all – I think if you have the skin of a peach or a newborn then it’s wonderful, but for older skin, it’s not the most flattering option I don’t think. However, I’m wearing Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation right now and have to say that the coverage is excellent. L’Oreal foundations are always good; they have formulas down to perfection whether it’s at the top end or the high street end, so I wouldn’t expect any less, but bearing in mind it’s priced at £7.99, it’s definitely punching above it price.
There are 6 shades (I know, not enough), in Natural Ivory, Ivory, Fawn, Sand, Sun Beige and Nude (Nude is shown above). The Dream Velvet Blender is £4.99 – I don’t think you’d be disappointed with it, but it’s not essential to the product.

How do you think this would be on dry skin? I really love a matte finish but it’s very hard to find one that doesn’t emphasize all my dryness!
Feel free to check out my blog also x

I think it would emphasise dryness.. it isn’t drying to the skin, but matte finishes aren’t the best in terms of smoothness for dry skin.
I’ve tried this foundation. I wasn’t a massive fan to be honest. I found it just kind of sat on my sit, despite my blending efforts xx

I love a matte finish! I do like the idea of the blender having something to hold for hygiene purposes too x

As someone with oily skin, I was quite interested in trying this. As you say though, there just aren’t enough shades and the lightest is far too dark and orangey looking against my skintone as a result,

Loving the look of the brush! Seems like it’ll look like more of a natural finish.
