The mousse foundation comes in a rather heavy glass jar, which is different from the foundations I’ve used.
Being a now-regular liquid foundation user, I found the mousse a refreshing change. It gave my face a nicely matte coverage, and it didn’t feel heavy on my skin. The White Stay version apparently contains skin-whitening properties, but I did not see the effect. It could be that I don’t use it enough (yeah, you can see that it was hardly touched) for the whitening to actually take place. Oh well, it doesn’t bother me that my skin isn’t lightened by the mousse. It also contains SPF24PA++, which is a good feature. I like creams and stuff which contain sun protection. It’ll help those who do not use sunscreen. For me, I always use sunscreen and foundation separately.
One thing I did not like about the mousse is that the foundation tends to cake around the oily areas of my face, namely the T-zone. It’s quite obvious around my nose, especially when sweat builds up when I’m outdoors. It also stains the my glasses with foundation build up, especially on the bridge of my nose. I’d recommend applying a very thin layer around the T-zone, and your usual amount on the cheeks and other areas. The mousse dries up instantly when applied.
This mousse foundation is significantly cheaper than my MAC. To limit the use of my MAC foundation only to work and dinners, I wear the Maybelline mousse foundation when I go out shopping during the weekends. Something for me to experiment with, so to speak. Hence the lack of use.
The White Stay foundation (a.k.a Dream White, in Asian Maybelline websites) is apparently only available in Asian countries (its Dream Matte counterpart’s more widely sold). But do correct me if I’m wrong, ya?
The Maybelline White Stay Mousse Foundation retails at RM46.90 at Guardian or Watsons.
What I like about it: Provides a matte coverage, contains SPF, cheap.
What I did not like about it: Tends to cake up around the oily T-zone, heavy jar.
