I won’t say I’m a brand snob when it comes to cosmetics but I am a stickler for performance and not many affordable brands quite hit the mark.\u00a0 However, I’m as happy as the next girl to find something inexpensive that works as it promises.<\/p>\n
A new budget discovery is the Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra – Shine Free Powder foundation <\/strong>which is a mouthful so we’ll call it Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra coverage foundation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The round flat compact came in handy when I took it on my travels. Its inexpensive enough that I did not have to worry in case it got lost or shattered in transit. I’d never tried the pale green compact which is medium coverage – I instead went for the new blue compact which is full coverage. The compact powder foundation promises full coverage and matte shine free application while it does not clog pores.<\/p>\n Mine is 02 – Nude Beige<\/strong> though I’d have prefered it being one notch lighter for me. Still, 02 is the lightest shade available so it’d have to do!<\/p>\n
