Reminds me of the fit me powders. Very good at what it does. These days I don't really need powder but when I did this was really good but 8 had to be careful because if I applied too much i would look too pale. So when you use make sure you follow through with blush contour and or highlight. I didn't notice much if an oxidizing but this would obviously depend on what you are using under it and your skin chemistry. I don't recall there being a mirror in the packaging which would be an improvement though it's fairly sturdy like other reviewers have said. I'm sure this has talc in it so it's not going to do you any favours as far as preventing acne it might actually block your pores but its a decent setting powder and proved nice coverage - it isn't translucent. Just be careful because if you get oily over and over and keep layering up powder it will get cakey. Affordable price and does the job

I literally just threw this product in my bag last minute the day I left Australia on my last trip over. I had coins to burn, and a cheap pharmacy to do so in. This was all of about $7, so I figured I'd give it a try - glad I did!
My skin is oily by nature and I like to set my foundation to keep my skin matte and clear. This appealed because I was in a rush, it had matte right there in the title, I like Maybelline, and it was cheap - but it delivers.
The casing is pretty simple - a sleek black and clear circle with a screw cap and a window through which you can see the product cake. I have shade 30: natural beige.
The Maybelline Matte Maker cake is a tight pressed cake of fine milled 'foundation' looking powder. It easily transfers to brushes, and then applies nicely to my face. I find I only need a little to set and mattify a look - or refresh foundation quickly.
Apart from a faint chalky/product scent which is barely noticeable the product is odourless, and doesn't react negatively at all with my skin.
It lasts through my day and since I have been using it it has helped my foundation last longer as well.
I'm 100% happy with this and would repurchase in a heartbeat, but doubt I'll need to for ages as it barely looks touched!
I bought this because I needed a pressed powder in a shade that matched me when I was fake tanned and this worked well. It's not the best powder I've used but it definitely does the job, I like how it comes in more yellow tones shades and it's not overly powdery. Although this is the only powder I've found that has made me more oily during the day if I wear it for more than a few hours; it's nothing too bad though. Also I'm not too fond of the packaging, it's quite similar to the rimmel stay matte powders and I would prefer it if it were in a compact with a mirror.
this product was a dream come true when it hit the shelf! im a combo skin and working in air con and randomly get very slick looking. Unfortuantly colour matching is 'hit and miss' as there is no testers to try, and you cant really tell what the product is like untill its opened. I have this in Nude Beige. Its not the best colour, but i make it work. what would be AWESOME, is if they had a Transperent powder!!! Then i would definatly re purchase. I LOVE the texture, i is very similar to Rimmel stay matte powder, but a little but smoother. It feels great on my skin, and it does 'help' keep the oil at bay. im not saying that its perfect, as depending on what base im wearing, it has different effects. if i use this over my Natio, its awesome, but if i put it on over a BB cream, im still having to touch up after a few hours. the packaging is pretty simple, easy to open and you can see the product. Now the big test for me will be using this over the summer months........
Tips: no tips, but do a bit of reserch on colours prior to purchasing, you may have better luck getting the perfect match :)
I purchased this to set my BB cream and I must say it does the job. I feel it clings a bit to my dry patches but then that's a problem with my skin rather than the formula!
Normally during the day I get a bit of shine going on within the T-zone. While this doesn't completely negate that it does really go some way to keeping my skin looking natural and flawless.
Even when it sticks to my dry patches from a foot or two away it still looks good! Great colour match for me in the lightest shade. I can see this becoming super popular in summer when i don't want to wear a full face of makeup but still need something to set the BB cream.
Would I repurchase? Yes most likely. It goes really well with the Maybelline BB cream and i feel that for summer this combination of products will be fantastic!
After trying Rimmel Stay Matte and really disliking the flimsy packaging, I bought Maybelline Matte Maker powder in shade #30 (Natural Beige) when I ran out of the Rimmel one and it hasn't disappointed!
Even though it's a pretty cheap, affordable powder compact don't be fooled by the simple looking packaging. The clear plastic screw top lid has a sleek black border that still allows you to see the colour of the compact underneath and it's pretty sturdy; I've dropped it once or twice with no cracking and the screw top lid stays on.
Personally, I prefer loose powders over compacts but I've been battling to find loose powders that are easily available from pharmacy's or departments stores that are specifically targeted at oily skin.
When applied with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush, Maybelline Matte Maker powder seems to almost blur any large pores around my nose and it also helps to even out my patchy complexion even more (over BB cream or a light to medium foundation) and has a really nice, matte finish without looking cakey or patchy and it does keep my skin looking shine-free for a few hours before the oil starts to seep through.
Would I recommend it or purchase it again? Yes, definitely, although I have bought another brand that I haven't yet tried (Australis Fresh & Flawless) and depending on how that goes, I might revert back to this one!
Tips: Try using it with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush and buff it into your BB cream or foundation
If you like the matte look then this product might be suited for you. I like the matte finish because I finish if I have a shiny finish people suggest that my face looks very oily and that’s not the impression I was to give off. I was excited to try this product. It’s does what it says it does but nothing extra. It didn’t impress me. It’s a good setting powder to have in your collection for the price.
Tips: Use a good buffering brush otherwise the powder won’t last all day
I purchased this as I had heard good things and was tired of matte powders not being able to get the oiliness at bay during summer. This has done the trick! The packaging is really simple; a simple clear plastic lid that screws onto the compact. The packaging is quite annoying, the lid is screwed on really tight and when I first got this it took me days before I could unscrew it and I thought I'd never even get to use it, as this screws on very tights and its hard to grip to undo. Even now, it can be hard at times to unscrew, especially when you're doing makeup and often have greasy hands. I own the palest shade in this. It surprisingly provides quite full coverage and has a sort of blurring effect and definitely makes my skin look better. This is VERY matte which I love and this keeps my foundation in place and matte all day. A little bit of shine sometimes slips through on hot days, so a quick touch up is needed, but it's usually fine without. This layers well on top of itself so its easy to build more coverage. However, being matte it does cling to the hairs on your face, so it can emphasize any hairs above your lip a lot. I did find this really neutralized any colour in my face and washed it out a bit, so be sure to use blush and bronzer with this (I do anyway whenever I'm using face powder so this wasn't an issue for me, but would be if you wanted a more natural base look). This was super affordable and is ridiculously mattifying, I reccommend it for anyone with oily skin. It is quite drying, so this isn't for you if you want a matte look, but have a drier skin type. This is pretty great, my only downsides are the awkward packaging and how the colour is a bit too neutralizing, but its worth it for how good this is at mattifying for a drug store product.
I have used this powder to set my foundation twice (As in I have purchased the product twice) And both times it has just done the trick. I'm not here or there about the product its not terrible or anything it just doesn't stand out in any way.
I am a big fan of this powder. It doesn't make foundation look cake like at all. It goes on super light weight and you don't need a lot of product to cover your face! I use it with a powder brush from Real techniques and it goes on really smoothly! I also found it easy to find the right match for my skin tone. Highly recommend! i've brought it a few times for my younger sister.
