Why Mousse Foundation?

* Light as air, they go on like the second skin, give the natural finish of liquid formulas & the coverage of powder cakes. Perfect for combination to oily skins.

* Light As A Feather, A light, fluffy mousse texture isn't just good for chocolate, but makeup too. Celebrity makeup artist Andy Lee says such products give a more natural finish, with longer staying power, too.

* Mousse-type makeup is best over liquid or cream foundations. Because of its content, it cakes over a powder base.

* Better for oily skin: A mousse type makeup primer (eg Shu Uemura UV Under Base DF) gets the job done without the creamy heaviness, says makeup artist Sam Ong.

So which one is your priority: the one with the Best Value? Flawless Finish? Full Coverage? or Most Lightweight?



Best Value : Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, SG$ 24.90

"Easy to blend, it feels weightless, like I have nothing on. Its oil-control power is impressive - lasted 6 hours before I started to shine. A good performer at an affordable price."





Flawless Finish: Clinique Active White Lab Solutions Pore Minimizing Mousse Foundation, SG$ 52

"It glides on smooth and minimises lines and pores - my skin looked beautiful! It's light; pores don’t feel clogged. It stays on all day and doesn't streak, even when you sweat."






Most lightweight:
Biotherm Matte Souffle Foundation, SG$ 55

"A featherweight - if I didn't see how my complexion was evened out after I applied it, I wouldn’t have realised it was on. It mattifies and smoothens, too. I like that it's not messy or difficult to apply."




Full coverage: Clarins White Plus Soft Touch Lightening Foundation, SG$ 53

"For it's light texture, it gives very good coverage and hides light acne marks, too. It glides on well and spreads easily. It’s got good oil control – used it all day and only saw a light sheen at 6pm."
