I love sheer foundations.  Having used mineral powder foundations for the past few years, I have become bored with it.  I decided to try the Maybelline Pure Makeup.  So far, so good.

I chose the light #1 shade and it blends well with my skin color. It looks natural, seems to last well and because it is oil-free, it doesn't cause breakouts.  Although, the makeup is made up of 50% water, it mixes with my skin's natural oils and doesn't just slide off my face.

The makeup comes in a 1.5 ounce tube with a screw-off cap.  I am able to squeeze out the tiniest bit or a lot with ease. Since I only dispense the needed amount, it is hygienic to use.

The makeup is cheap!  I bought it [regular price] at Target for $4.99. 

Bottom Line:

This has been a good winter foundation.  Time will tell how it performs in the heat of the summer.

I really like this foundation and I have dry skin and didn't think I would. It works well year round for me.
