Most everyday foundations even out tone but do little to shield skin from harsh city environments; this formula does both. Maybelline Dream Urban Cover Makeup pairs high-performance coverage with high-level SPF40 to help protect against UV and pollution, while still looking like real skin. It is designed for daily wear when you want complexion care and make-up in one step.

A blend of homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene delivers broad-spectrum SPF40 to help defend against sun-induced damage. Niacinamide supports barrier function and helps reduce the appearance of uneven texture and dullness over time. Vitamin E, caffeine and Scutellaria baicalensis root extract provide antioxidant care to help counteract the effects of pollution and oxidative stress.

The texture is a lightweight, fluid liquid that glides on and self-sets to a soft, natural finish. Dimethicone and advanced silicones create a smoothing, breathable film that helps blur the look of pores and fine lines. Wear is comfortable throughout the day, resisting patchiness and dryness when applied over well-prepped skin.

Apply after skincare as your complexion step and sunscreen in one, following local SPF guidance. The buildable pigment lets you choose between a fresh, everyday veil or more complete coverage where you need it. Set with powder on areas prone to shine if you want extra staying power.

High SPF40 with a trio of UV filters helps provide broad-spectrum protection suitable for daily city exposure.Silicone-elastomer network helps create a flexible film that resists creasing and maintains a smooth appearance.Niacinamide and antioxidant complex support long-term skin quality while you wear your foundation.Fluid, finely milled pigment system allows buildable coverage without obvious build-up or a chalky finish.

• Step 1. Begin with cleansed, well-moisturised skin and allow skincare to absorb fully.
• Step 2. Shake the tube gently, then dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or a palette.
• Step 3. Dot the product over the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, concentrating less on areas that need minimal coverage.
• Step 4. Blend outwards with fingers, a damp sponge or a foundation brush, using light tapping or buffing motions.
• Step 5. Build a second thin layer only where extra coverage is desired, allowing the first layer to settle briefly.
• Step 6. Set with a light dusting of powder or a setting spray on areas prone to shine or where longer wear is required.

Pro Tips

• Prep with a smoothing or mattifying primer on targeted areas if you want extra grip and a refined finish.
• Press product into the skin with a damp sponge rather than swiping if you are covering visible texture or redness.
• Use a small brush to apply a tiny amount as concealer on areas that need more coverage to keep the rest of the face lightweight.
• Allow a few minutes for the formula to self-set before adding powder, bronzer or blush for a more seamless blend.
