Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Makeup .68 fl oz (20 ml)

I can't stop raving about this makeup, and I've tried everything out there--all of the mineral foundations and department store foundations. My current favorite foundation is Philosophy's Supernatural, but in the fall and winter, mineral foundation looks too dry on my 41-year-old skin. Here are the pros and cons of this foundation:

1. I never have to get my hands dirty! This goes on all over or just on the spots that need it, and it looks flawless and invisible. I can touch up this foundation in seconds in the rearview mirror. The eraser tip is soft, and it's the perfect size for "erasing" around the nose or eyes.

2. This foundation is very sheer and natural looking, yet covers perfectly. Instead of getting that cakey look, I look fresh and clean and younger.

3. It gets the red out. In fact, I didn't realize how red my skin was until I used this makeup. I have a problem with broken capillaries around my nose, and I can easily erase them away with this product. On the con side, it doesn't cover age spots quite as well as it covers red spots.

4. It works perfectly around the eyes. It goes on sheer, but covers the faint shadows near the bridge of my nose and brightens up the entire under eye area--and it gets the job done without settling into my fine lines or looking fake or cakey. And my fine lines do look a bit better with this makeup on.

5. This foundation is moist and dewy. At 41, my skin can look dry and lacks that glow it once had. This makeup makes my skin look moist, not dry. On the con side, if you wear a heavy moisturizer or have oily skin, you might not like how moist this makeup is. It may look too wet. But that's the only con!

I've been dreaming of a perfect makeup like this for years. Finally, it's here! I just wish it had a mineral makeup "eraser" on the other end--like a pencil with two erasers--to set the makeup and also to touch up blemishes.

I love this foundation. About 5 years ago, I stopped wearing foundation. My skin had changed, and I couldn't find something that didn't make my skin look dry, flaky, or that didn't settle into my pores or the fine lines around my eyes. I have very dry skin now, so the flakiness was a real issue.

Every now and then I would buy a makeup that advertised that it fixed all of the things above, and frankly, they didn't. I saw an ad for this product on tv, and decided to try one more time. I'm glad that I did. I'm usually hard to match, color-wise, but they had a great range of colors, and I used the "color advisor" on the display to select the Sandy Beige color.

Starting with the applicator "delivery system": at first it seemed a little strange; you twist the top and suddenly see these little beads of product pop up. When the product comes out, the brush itself sort of looks like a short-haired cat's fur when he's got his "back up." However, when you dot it on your face, and then use circular motions to put it on, it goes on great! I use a makeup sponge to pat makeup in the hard to reach areas. I also like that you can see how much product is left in the bottle, and the way it has a sort of round disc inside that pushes the product down and out, so you get to use every last drop of it; nothing goes to waste.

The real test was how it settles on the skin as the day wears on. While no product is perfect, I've found that this is the closest thing to perfection: it doesn't settle in the lines, it does a good job of covering up pores, and my skin feels moist all day. I also have a few red capillaries on my face near my nostrils, and the coverage is fantastic, without looking cakey.

The first time I wore the makeup to work, I got compliments all day. Several women asked me what I was wearing, and a couple commented that my skin looked "fresh and dewey."

So, all I can say is, I'm extremely happy to be able to be "girly" again! :)

I was really hoping to like this product, but as a woman of color, with brown skin, the range of shades offered is beyond disappointing. I tried the darkest shade available, which still ended up being about 10 shades too light. It's quite upsetting when companies forget that there are a vast range of skin tones. If you offer a shade called "medium", why not offer a shade called "dark"?

Aside from that, the product consistency and coverage was just "ok". A little goes a long way. I made the mistake of twisting the cap a few too many times when 1 or 2 is enough.
