If your product comes in a tube/bottle, then squeeze/pump out a small amount on your palms. For those with sensitive skin, finding the perfect face foundation can be a challenge.

So this foundation got me quite curious. Dream Matte® Mousse. This long-lasting and lightweight foundation leaves skin looking smooth, flawless, and with a matte finish.

Let’s cut to the chase and put it to the test. The characteristic feature of the Essence Soft Touch Mousse Foundation is its velvety whipped look and feel. It is ultra-smooth (and incredibly soft. Think, slightly pigmented whipped cream). It glides on as smoothly as a body lotion.

Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. Do the veins appear more purple or green?

If you still feel the need for a brush, apply it with your fingers and use a round brush or flat top kabuki brush to blend it in. Personal opinion, a basic flat brush is not a great idea for a mousse foundation. Also, considering the size and shape of the container, it won’t be easy to use a standard foundation brush to take the product from the container. I’m not much of a foundation person. For the last couple of years, I have been using Garnier BB cream. It gave me light coverage and more of a highlighter effect. So I decided to switch to something that offered more coverage, but I was dubious about the liquid foundation.

Regarding acne, it doesn’t cover it up completely, only to an extent. Layering is a risky business. The foundation can become cakey if you apply multiple layers. I have had it happen a few times, and it is not a pleasant look. But it might not be the case if you have oily skin. You might be able to layer it slightly more than if you have dry skin. See, some people prefer a brush or sponge for applying their makeup. But when you use your fingers, you can easily know the amount of product you are applying. Also, it is way easier to apply and blend. Mousse foundations are often confused with cream-based foundations. However, there is a major contrast between the two as a cream foundation has a pomade-like consistency, is dense like a concealer, and gives a dewy finish. On the other hand, a mousse/whipped foundation has a souffle-like consistency, wherein the microbubbles burst as the product is blended onto the skin, and you get a weightless, matte finish. And to top it off, these products give a dreamy, natural finish, which makes them ideal for no-makeup makeup looks. The Essence Soft Touch Mousse foundation gives you a glowy but not shiny appearance and an airbrushed look due to its light consistency, i.e., it gives you a bright and polished look. So if you are ready to combine it with a bit of concealer for your problem areas, it is your perfect everyday wear.Step 5: Some products can be blended onto your skin using just the fingertips. If so, gently even out the product with circular, upward movements. Use the ring fingers to blend at the eye area and the middle fingers to blend at the contours of your nose.
