Matte mousse foundation

Hi,
I hope someone will be able to help me.
for years I used a very good matte mousse that have suddenly stopped selling and then I moved to Maybelline - picture attached- which also unfortunately stopped selling and I am pretty upset as these matte mouses are the best and the only ones that I actually like and looks perfect on my skin.
I have bought numerous other creamy foundations and they are horrible, makes my face look like a proper paint, if you know what I mean.
Maybelline sold the matte mousse on Amazon for some time after stopped selling on the high street and I was happy with that, UNTIL my last purchase where they sell the large pot but send you a mini , less than 1/3 of the same pot for the same price of the large pot. I managed to get my money back but thought how cheeky !!!! Aparently there were many other people complaining and I missed that before buying.
I just would like some advise if you use a nice matte mousse - which is the smooth finish mix of the cream and the powder- could you please recommend ? As I don’t seem to find anything similar.

thank you

Have you tried eBay? I used to use The Ordinary foundation that got discontinued - I bought a load in bulk off eBay!

I also loved matte mousse but it seems to be the butt of every joke now, so many memes making fun of it! Guess we have to wait for it to become acceptable again

Lol seriously ? I never saw anything about it, never saw a meme about it, but anyways, I wonder why would a beauty product become a meme ? Haha funny thing though. I just need it back :D

Haha I just had to google it. I totally know what you mean now with Isabel Clancy videos about make ups from the past . Well, I didn’t know about that, and I use the right shade for my skin.
I still need to find something similar if anyone knows please :)
