………… Maybe its Dream Satin Foundation?
The Maybelline website states:
Experience our first air-whipped liquid mousse foundation
- 100% poreless look
- Air-brush finish
- Full yet lightweight coverage
- Ultra-bendable, comfortable texture
- Satin perfect, luminous finish
- Available in 8 shades
Hybrid air-whipped liquid formula has the light airy feel of a mousse with the blendability of a liquid. Formula contains amino-acid treated pigments that help unify the complexion.
I’ve wore the Dream Satin Foundation the past two days and I have to start with what I found to be glaringly untrue from the moment of application. This does not give a 100% poreless look. In fact this made the pores (and mine are not as large as some) to each side of my nose very noticeable. However I did let the first layer sit for a minute and build up a second layer, and yes the pores were much less noticeable, but they were visible, so don’t be fooled.
Its very easy to go overboard with Dream Satin, a little actually goes a very long way, so one pump is more than sufficient for one layer.
I tried a number of different concealers with it but found that it worked best in conjunction with the liquid consistency of MAC Select Cover-up (by the way MAC please make this in large tubes so that I can just adopt this as my complete foundation….) the shades also complimented each other well, Dream Satin in Sand & Cover-up in NW20.
Immediately after first application I wasn’t overly impressed, I wasn’t appalled either but it just looked like I had quite a bit of foundation sitting on my skin. The luminous finish they promote was bordering on oily. Now ordinarily I wouldn’t use loose powder to set my make-up, but in an attempt to reduce shine I used one yesterday over the Dream Satin and the transformation was really quite something. It took it from “noticeably wearing quite a bit of slap” to dare I say it “flawless”.
Amazing what a bit of the ole translucent can do. If you’ve bought the Dream Satin and you’re not convinced definitely give the setting with powder a go 
Overall, for £5 it isn’t terrible. The colour range is limited though, as three of them swatched almost the same to me. Too much pinky undertone to the Sand shade also. However it is easy to wear, not overly perfumed and realistically quite a good medium coverage with minimal transfer once set, and it hasn’t broke me out at all. If you’re on a budget its a reasonable enough little offering from Maybelline.

Great review thanks. I had it in my hand today but asked myself "do I really need another foundation?" and of course the answer was no, so very unlike me I put it back. Now i'll have to give it a whirl!!
I've been wearing this in Light Porcelain since Tuesday and I love it. I agree that the results are wholly better when used in conjunction with a transluscent powder xx
