Maybelline Better Skin Foundation Review/First Impressions pt. 1

MAYBELLINE BETTER SKIN FOUNDATION!

 Hello everyone! Today I have a post that is a little different than what I normally do and I hope you still find it helpful. Earlier this week I received the new Maybelline Better Skin Foundation from Influenster to test out. I received this free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I am taking the three week better skin challenge that they've asked us to do to really get the full effect of the foundation. By the end of the three weeks,they say we will see positive results. Maybelline has and will always be one of my favorite brands, so I was very thrilled to receive it. On Maybellines official website, they claim that this will last on the skin all day, Improve your skin every minute it's on, reduce dark spots, reduce fine line, even out skin tone and improve your skin all together appearance in three weeks. It's tailored for every skin type and is supposed to have medium to full coverage. The price I found on the same website was $11.99 retail. Today I am just giving you my first impressions and then next week and the  week after, I will post about the progress. I hope this is helpful and let's take a look at more photos.


This is the bottle I received and it's in the shade 10 Porcelain. I really love that it has a pump and I really like the packaging as well. 


As you can probably see, this shade is a bit too light for my skin tone, but I can work with it. The texture is smooth, creamy and not at all heavy feeling. It blends out pretty well and for me the coverage is light to medium. I would prefer it to be better in that area, but it does stay on the skin all day. I always use a primer though, so that should be your first step as well with any foundation. I also wanted to mention that this foundation comes in 12 different shades. I like it comes in a wider range of colors to choose form, deffinatly a great bonus. 


The picture on the left is a shot of my bare face at the beginning of week one. I know it's not the best shot, but it will do for now. When I post for week two, I will post another photo and we can see if there is any difference in the appearance of my skin. I did find that this product tends to stick to my dry patches and makes it look chalky. I can always moisturize better, so I hope that helps. If I had to grade this on a scale from 1-10 for the first week, I would rate it a 4 or 5 I think. The real deciding factor will be at the three week mark to see if my skin looks better than before. Wish me luck and I will see you all for week 2.  :)
