Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

What I do love about this foundation is the wide variety of shades that it comes in; I wear 315. It also has a great dewy finish, but this also makes it unsuitable for oily skin. I always set this foundation with powder, and that is when it makes my skin look better than it does without it (you do NOT want to sweat while wearing this foundation because it will absolutely not stay put). It won't cover any blemishes because it's so light, so concealer is a must for that. Yet I do love that it doesn't have a pump and that it comes in a glass bottle.

Tried this foundation after hearing my friends rave about it. I have to say it was very disappointing, within the first hour of application, I had noticed it was sliding off my face. Please note, I always use a foundation without primer or powder when I first try it to see how it is going to last. The following few days I used foundation primer, and setting powder as well as spray in an effort to keep the product from sliding off my face. I do not have an over oily skin, and do not usually have issues like this come up. I have never had to buy a foundation formulated for an oily skin. My T-zone is a bit oily but that is considered normal in my profession and have never had to use formulations for oily skin on myself or clients with an oily t-zone. The coverage is ok if you want a very natural look, but for people that like a fuller coverage or have blemishes, scars or pigmentation to cover, this is not for you. To be able to have this foundation last on me. I need to use foundation primer, setting powder and spray and I need to blot and re powder my T-zone hourly to prevent sliding. This process can be very expensive cosmetics wise. As for one bottle of foundation, you will need two pots of setting powder. Needless to say, I stopped using this on clients very quickly.

This is a good light-medium foundation if you build it up. I have it in the shade porcelain which is great when I'm really pale though I'm not sure if it is available to buy in New Zealand. In winter I can wear this by itself but it summer I have to set it even though I have normal to dry skin. Despite this I think it's a good drugstore foundation for everyday and the finish with or without powder is lovely.

This foundation claims it has new shades formulate for women of colour, which SHOULD translate to some with yellow tones that STAY yellow. Unfortunately this foundation oxidised on me within 20 minutes to a rather unpleasant reddish colour that looked very unnatural.

I think this foundation really depends on your skin type, I didn't have any coverage at all with this foundation and it wasn't s long wearing foundation on the face. It's definitely darker then most other colours so I would say dnietly test it on your skin before you purchase it!!!

Unfortunately this foundation oxidised like crazy on me and felt oily and slid right off my face after only a few hours, despite not having overly oily skin myself. The coverage is light to medium and the formula is very blendable, it has a slight fragrance but nothing offensive. Would recommend this for people with dry skin

I had heard good things about this from my friend, so I decided to pick it up in Ivory. However this foundation did not meet my expectations. The foundation was way to dark for me, even though it was the lightest available shade. Plus the coverage isn't that great. It seems to just fade away completely if I try to blend it. Not made for people with pale skin. But if you have darker skin you might be able to make this work.

One of the cheaper foundations I have had, I found it wasn't a very thick texture and was easy to apply but personally it didn't give me the coverage I would usually like...more suited for those who prefer the more natural look.

I wanted to like this because it's cheap but the coverage wasn't enough for me and the colour (the palest shade) was still a bit too dark. If you just need slight coverage then I'm sure this is worth a try, but for fuller coverage you may want to look elsewhere!

i love this for a light wearing medium coverage when I'm fake tanned. unfortunately this foundation does not go down to a light enough shade for me. it also is not very long wearing on my normal/oily skin lasting only 5 hours maximum.
