Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

I like to use this product to work. This is so light weight in my face. Perfect for someone who works in a food industry. It is not fully coverage but I think I like it as it is. :)

When they brought out the fit me matte, I was a little excited to see if it would settle as a true matte without going cakey, but low and behold it caked up badly around the nose and mouth area, looking perfectly matte after applying but an hour later those oily areas broke though and by the end of the day it had dragged across patches. This is all with the additon of a lightweight primer and a mineral setting powder. I'm no spring chicken to makeup and kind of know what I am doing and know that this was just not right.

It didn't however (thank goodness for the primer I think) sink into and clog my pores so my skin remained nice and unblemished but it just isn't a product I like the finish off or did it do what I wanted it to.

This foundation is good but not great. I has a medium coverage but is build able. I find it sits on my skin frequently and only sometimes will blend in nicely and look natural. I have tried every application tool I can find and still haven't found a perfect one. It will last a few ours on my skin before breaking down and looking flakes and patchy. If you are looking for a short wearing foundation then this one is good but can be difficult to blend in nicely.

This foundation was actually quite good, my skin looked nice and the (palest) colour was a good neutral between yellow and pink. However for me it was too dark and did not match my body so I could not pull it off. My friend who I gave it to it looks wonderful on for the price, it looks natural on her.

I've tried this product a few times and I haven't found a shade that works for me. Any shade lighter than 120 is too light, but the shade 120 is too dark for my skin colour and I found it to be very orange.

I do like the formula of this though! It looks and feels good on my skin, stays well, and does everything else I look for in foundation (minus matching my skin colour). It's affordable and I think it would be good value for money if you found a shade that worked for you. Unfortunately, it wasn't for me!

I wanted to love this foundation when I purchased it, there had been so much hype around it and I was super excited to give it a go. I got the shade 120, which in theory should have been the perfect shade for me. Upon application I noticed already that the shade was very orange toned, which is a big no-no to me. The actual finish of the foundation was beautiful, it evened my skin nicely and provided good coverage which I like. However, after only one or two hours of wear at the most, this foundation began to oxidise so badly, becoming even more orange and very patchy, I probably could have been mistaken for a dorito from the neck up. The finish no longer looked flawless and it transferred quite badly onto my clothing! Perhaps if the colour range had some more yellow-toned options I could have learned to love this foundation, but I just couldn't wear it again.

I love the shades of this foundation it actually fits me better than my doublewear. Its beautiful light on the skin its awesome coverage i will continue to use this product

A few years ago I managed to find Fit Me in the shade 110 at a clearance makeup sale and it was perfect for my skin tone. Ever since then I've never found 110. I asked Maybelline and apparently the shade doesnt exist now. Its very disappointing that the colour range doesnt cater to the many fair skinned girls out there. You can NEVER find the next shade up 115 in shops, and the 120 you can find is way to dark for me. They may say they have 18 shades - but only 6 are available in NZ. You cant even find shades for dark skin. I loved the formula, the coverage and longevity though. Such a shame.
