Safety Warning For external use only Review: Lovely coverage for older skin... - I'm in my 50s and for years was using maybelline's dream matte mousse, but think they've discontinued it as i can't find it anywhere now! This looked like a good alternative, and it is - really lovely, smooth, whipped mousse, that gives great coverage for older skin. This'll be a staple in my make up bag going forward. Review: Fab foundation - I was recommended this by a friend as we both used Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse but it was discounted. This is a very close match! Light on the skin, doesn’t feel like you’re wearing make up at all. Nice texture too. At such a good price! ## Features - Evens out impurities and offers a soft-focus effect - Soft, easy to blend and comfortable to wear mousse foundation - With vegan ingredients - mattifying, covering, express result, oil-control/ shine-control, instant result, soft focus, matte - We say no to animal testing Cosnova is listed internationally with essence and CATRICE at both PETA Germany and PETA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BQZ2KLSC | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Benefits | Covers imperfections and offers a matte finish with sebum control | | Best Sellers Rank | 9,026 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 111 in Face Foundations | | Brand Name | Essence Cosmetics | | Colour | 04 | | Container Type | Tube | | Country Of Origin | Italy | | Coverage | Medium to Full | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 947 Reviews | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04059729394361 | | Item Dimensions | 5.6 x 5.6 x 3.3 centimetres | | Item Form | Mousse | | Item form | Mousse | | Manufacturer | cosnova GmbH | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4059729394361 | | Material Type Free | Alcohol Free, Animal By-product Free, Gluten Free, Paraben Free, Preservative Free | | Model Number | 4059729394361 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Jar | | Package information | Tube | | Recommended Uses For Product | Face | | Recommended uses for product | Face | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | Normal, Oily | | Skin type | Normal, Oily | | Special Features | Alcohol-free, No fragrances, Oil-free | | Specialty | Alcohol Free, Oil Free, Fragrance Free | | Unit Count | 16.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** essence - **Colour:** 04 - **Item form:** Mousse - **Material Type Free:** Alcohol Free, Animal By-product Free, Gluten Free, Paraben Free, Preservative Free - **Package information:** Tube - **Product benefits:** Covers imperfections and offers a matte finish with sebum control - **Recommended uses for product:** Face - **Skin tone:** All - **Skin type:** Normal, Oily ## Images ![essence NATURAL MATTE MOUSSE FOUNDATION, mattifying, covering, express result, matte (16g) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JWLVp+MeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely coverage for older skin... *by S***N on 9 April 2026* I'm in my 50s and for years was using maybelline's dream matte mousse, but think they've discontinued it as i can't find it anywhere now!
