Like the mousse foundation, it was my first time with a mousse blush. I’ve always used powder blushes, and after using the mousse blush, well, let’s just say I’m sticking to my powders.
Description:
Air-soft formula provides luminous, long-lasting color on cheeks. Glides on smoothly and blends easily for seamless colour and a natural, radiant finish. Air-whipped mousse delivers satin-soft feel on skin. Long-wearing formula will not clog pores. For best results, With your fingertips, pat a small amount of blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Use feathery strokes to blend gently from your cheekbones to your temples. To build colour intensity, apply more blush.
The thing with the mousse blush is that it is to be applied after foundation, before loose powder. The colour which I have is the Peach Satin, which is a pretty coral. From first glance, it might seem a little too orange, but the effect’s quite nice. One thing about the blush though; you have to apply quite a lot before the flush on your cheeks show. I do not mean to dig out a chunk and slather on your cheeks; gently apply layer upon layer till you’re satisfied with the results.
As the mousse blush goes on my cheeks, which are drier than the T-zone, the blush did not cake, but gave me a rather nice dewy look on the cheeks. I’d recommend the foundation and the blush mousse, but hold the loose powder (unless it’s just a very light sweep of the powder on the cheeks, T-zone and chin) for the dewy effect.
I have no complaints with the mousse blush, but as a personal preference, I reckon I’d stick to powder blushes as they’re less messy and definitely less bulky.
Available colours are:
Pinks – Pink Frosting, Whipped Strawberries
Mauves – Soft Plum
Plums – Cloud Wine
COrals/Reds – Peach Satin
Browns – Coffee Cake
Maybelline’s Dream Mousse Blush retails at RM44.90 at Guardian or Watsons.
What I like about it: Sheer blush when lightly layered, pretty colours
What I did not like about it: Bulky container

Jo: No problem, will get to that as soon as I can 🙂
PrettyB: Yeah, tell me about it. I found it pretty troublesome too. Still, already bought it, so will try to use it as much as I can.
Isn’t the dream mousse blush supposed to say 20 instead of 02; that’s weird.
