Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid in #20 Classic Ivory
I recently picked up this new foundation from Maybelline and have only tried it a few times. I was dying to get a review out of this product though!
Maybelline claims that this undetectable foundation will provide medium coverage for a natural finish. It has a dropper type applicator for easy dispensing as well.

I purchased this from Target for about $9. It contains 20 mL of product and comes in 12 shades.
Packaging:
It comes in a small, glass jar. The bottom half of the jar is clear so you can see the true color of the product. As you can see there is a weird, tear drop shaped applicator. It's supposed to dispense the product but I find that you really just have to wipe the dropper on your hand to get the product. Drops don't come off of the applicator by themselves if that makes sense. It's a really small jar that's about the size of your palm. It contains SPF 20 as well.
This jar concerns me slightly because it's made of glass it could break easily if dropped. It seems like it would get messy from the weird dropper as well.

Color/Finish:
#20 Classic Ivory is the second lightest shade I think and it is a good match for my skin. It would be suitable for lighter/light-medium skin tones. I wear the shade W13 for Etude House BB creams for reference. I'm also slightly darker than the Maybelline Dark Circle eraser in light as well.
It gives a really natural finish. It's not overly dewy or overly matte, it's a nice in between finish. It gives my face a nice powdery finish. It's also undetectable on the skin. Unlike a lot of foundations, this one really blends into the skin well. One thing I will say though is that this might cling to dry patches. I have oily skin so I wouldn't know how this would work for dry skin but I have a few dryer areas on my face and this is slightly more noticeable in those areas. That being said, it's still not super detectable in those dry areas.

Coverage/Lasting Power/Consistency:
As you can see this doesn't have the best coverage. I have decent skin so I don't need a lot of coverage or have a lot to cover, but just know this probably isn't the best foundation for those looking for a heavy coverage product. It only claims to have a medium coverage though. One layer of this gives a light coverage in my opinion but it builds nicely to a medium coverage. It will cover some redness and even out your skin tone but you will need a separate concealer for acne scars or blemishes.
I don't usually have a problem with foundations wearing off or becoming patchy but I do have oily skin. This lasts at least 4 or 5 hours without getting shiny. I would say it does a very good job in keeping my oils at bay. Even at the end of the day, my face isn't as shiny and oily as usual.
This is a fluid foundation which is very different from a traditional liquid foundation in my opinion. The consistency feels more like water. It feels so smooth when you're blending it into the skin and you're face doesn't feel sticky or tacky like with most liquid foundations before you set them with powder!

Final Thoughts:
I really love this product because the shade matches well, the finish is really smooth and soft, and it helps with my oily skin! The packaging could be better and easier to use, but that's not really a huge issue for me.
If you're someone who likes high coverage foundations or want a product to cover all of your imperfections this isn't really the right product for you. If you're looking for a natural, everyday foundation to even out your skin tone this would be perfect though!
I really recommend this product!
