Product Information

Easy application using fingers. Brush or sponges not necessary, but you can use a round brush for blending in. 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. Blendability And Finish: The product should have a silky and smooth texture, which glides easily and blends effortlessly. Then, depending on your skin type, you can look for specific features. If you have oily/combination skin, you can opt for a non-greasy, matte foundation. If you have dry/normal skin, then look for a non-drying luminous foundation with a dewy finish. This long-lasting foundation features exclusive silky matte powder spheres that glide evenly onto the skin for a flawless, soft-focus 16-hour matte finish.

A definitive plus is that it doesn’t have much of an odor– just a faint smell. Now you must know that you don’t want your products to have any scent unless it’s a pleasant smell. About the product: Get the ultimate smooth and flawless complexion using the Essence mousse makeup. Its super delicate mousse texture gives you a natural-looking matte finish. The lightweight formulation provides you with the necessary coverage while allowing your skin to breathe freely. Ingredients: Ensure that the foundation is free from parabens, sulfates, triclosan, petroleum, phthalates, overpowering fragrances, etc. so you can indulge in a safe beauty regime. While these are not a given for makeup products, nourishing ingredients like vitamins C and E, hyaluronic acid, glyceric, aloe vera, and soothing botanical extracts are always beneficial. It was a brand called Essence. I have tried their eyeliner and mascara, and they were pretty good. So I had a good feeling about the brand. I tried a little of the foundation on my wrist. And guess what? Love at first sight. It was Essence Soft Touch Mousse Foundation in the shade Matt Beige.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. 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. You can skip Step 6 after that. Step 3: If your product comes in a jar, scoop out a small amount with your fingers or with a clean makeup spatula. If your product comes in a tube/bottle, then squeeze/pump out a small amount on your palms.

Step 6: If your product cannot be blended with fingertips, then take a soft-bristle foundation or a dampened beauty blender. Now let’s talk coverage. Mousse foundation is said to give medium to heavy coverage. Essence mousse foundation, at best, gives me medium coverage. I got dark circles and a bit of acne. The foundation doesn’t do any wonders on my dark circles. It makes it less prominent, but I would still need to concealer it if I want it completely gone. 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. 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.Plus, i t stays on for a generous amount of time. I have had it on for 8-12 hours. You might need to touch up a bit on oily areas, such as your nose, after a while. Or go the extra mile and use a makeup setting or finishing spray. I usually moisturize my face before applying foundation. But I do not use a primer. And for this mousse foundation, it is not a necessity. The matte formula holds on even without a primer. The best part about mousse foundations is application– you can easily apply it using your fingers. When you use a liquid or powder foundation, you are going to need an applicator. So one day, I’m walking down the makeup aisle (I search more than I shop!), and I stumble upon mousse foundation. The only mousse I knew was a bowl of freshly whipped chocolate mousse. 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.
