It's Way Too Light...Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

Every time I go to my local drugstore, the first section I visit is the makeup section ^_^ Regardless of what I need, my feet automatically takes me to makeup right away lol. Last week, my local Walgreens was

having 40%off on a lot of their makeup products and I spotted the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Honey on sale. I've been seeing it in youtube videos raved by many makeup gurus and, I'm all about anything that will make my face matte so I purchased one for myself.

I notice there were only 4 shades available. Weird and disappointing if you ask me. The shades were from light to medium and that's it. I asked the sales lady if there was more but she said that's it.What about the other beautiful women with darker skin tones huh? Anyway, the shade Honey is the darkest and, I know it was way too light for me but I still purchased it thinking maybe I can make it work. Walgreens has 30 days return policy so I wasn't too worried.

Like a little kid, I played with my new toy right when I got home. I swatched it with my finger and to my disappointment, I found the shade way too light than I expected. For some reason the shade looked warm in the store but it really looks cool once swatched and photographed. This is the problem with drugstore makeup. You can't test the makeup before you buy them and, a lot of women end up buying the wrong shade of foundation O_o

I compared it next to my Mark Powder Buff foundation in Golden. It's one of my favorite powder foundation and, it's a pretty good match for my skin tone. Maybelline is obviously way too light as you can see in the photo...yikes!

Halloween has about a month to go, unless I plan on looking like Casper everyday then this foundation would be perfect lol. But seriously, there was no point of keeping it any longer so I returned it the next day O_o.  I'm sure it's an awesome foundation. It's recommended by many women but for now Maybelline if you are reading this, I hope you guys make more shades for us women who has medium to dark skin tone...pleaaase!!!
