Product Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation

Are you the type of person who's looking for a foundation that is good to use everyday, doesn't cost too much, and relatively looks like your natural skin? Let me introduce you to this drugstore find!
 The packaging of the product seems cheap and very drugstore looking, but in reality I find it very handy and convenient. Unlike other foundation which are bottled in glass, I do not have to worry about breaking or space efficiency since this product can slide to any purse.

Application:


As you can see from the photo above, I have blemishes that needs concealing. Upon using the product it was able to lightly conceal my pimple marks, dark under eye area, and the redness of my nose. 

The coverage of this foundation is light to medium, it's water base, oil-free, and doesn't clog your pores. It dries pretty fast so you need to apply it on a faster pace (though at first you may find the application a little difficult but it's easy to master the technique later on). Moreover the finish is matte, perfect for my skin type which is oily to combination. It's lightweight and I love it more because it looks so natural and it stays practically the whole day! This actually is my everyday foundation. 

If you are a makeup beginner this is a great foundation to start to. But if you are looking for a foundation that conceals your imperfections totally, this product is not for you; as it can only conceal minor redness and blemishes no matter how much you build it (which is not advisable). Also, the shades are rather few (only 5 shades available) so finding the accurate shade for you may be difficult. 

If your skin type is dry, this foundation may not work for you since it can add on to the dryness of your skin. Nevertheless for a price a not more than P300, you are getting more than what you pay for. You can purchase this at SM Department Stores, Watsons, and all leading Department Store nationwide.
