Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

Hmmm I heard mixed reviews for this item so I thought id try it for myself. I got the shade 120 and found it to be a matching colour to my slightly darker the ivory skin tone BUT the formula was too hard for me to get use too, I have normal skin, some times I get an oily t-zone or a bit of dry patches but this formula seemed to just slide off my face. I tried patting it on, layering it on wit the powder over top etc but it just felt oily and shiny, not dewy just shiny. It didnt cause me to break out though which is always good, but just could not get over the consistency, sadly not for me.

I found that the wide range of shades allowed me to find a very close match to my skin tone but that's as far as it goes for me. The foundation itself is on the thicker side so I found that it got really cakey if I wasn't careful. The finish was really dewy on me and made my T-zone area look very oily. I also found that I needed a powder to set the foundation but even then, it would slip off after a couple of hours. Availability wise, I was able to find it in my local supermarkets, farmers etc but I bought it online so it only cost me $12. It was also difficult to get product out as I'm a very clumsy person and it is one of those foundations that you have to pour out. For me personally, it wasn't practical as I don't have a lot of time in the morning but if your skin isn't very oily and you are a careful person it might be worth having a look at this as it is affordable and easy to find.

I normally love everything that Maybelline brings out, but they definitely failed with this one. It made my skin really oily and didn't last very well through out the day. It is quite a light foundation so you really have to build it up to get a good amount of coverage.

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 brought this to see what the hype was about and also I thought that the whole look of the Fit Me range was very chic and cute.

Design wise I think the Fit Me foundation in it's glass bottle and sleek black lip that screws on and off easily is super chic and looks cute on my vanity. The formula as well is great being a medium coverage type of foundation this liquid is perfect to allow you to get it onto your skin and blend without it instantly drying or being to wet that it drips and makes a mess on your face. I used it with a beauty blender that I dampen first to prevent too much of the liquid foundation to be soaked back up into the sponge and also the dampness helps the foundation find its place on my dry skin.

However the downside is that shade 115 which I can see as being the lightest in the foundation range is far too orange for my face it just doesn't match my skin tone at all and makes my face look very obviously done up and slighty oompa lumpa looking. Not perfect flawlessness that I like so for that reason alone as I genuinely like the whole concept and the long wear of this foundation, it never smudged on my clothes or moved around my face during the day, but as this is the lightest shade I have found then I will have to toss it and not re-purchase it which is same as I really like it sitting on my vanity.

Perhaps a year ago when I wasn't hugely makeup adept, this was the only foundation I would use and I really liked it. I always wear it with the matching powder. I recently tried it again and it was actually awful! I never used to wear it with a primer, but I tried it with the bare minerals original primer and the foundation oxidised a lot, was an odd texture, and did not look natural at all. It also became very shiny after a couple of hours and my pores became very visible. It wore off around my t-zone a bit also. Perhaps my skin has changed since, but I also used to apply it with a sponge, whereas now I use a brush. It is just a very average foundation. If you have oily, not yellow toned skin, visible pores, and plan on wearing for a longer period of time, would not recommend.

I purchased this product last year, the price is good (very affordable).

Product is not the best, I have oily skin. And this product along with the FitMe powder just was not cutting it. The coverage was very light for me personally, and the formulation just seemed to make my face look even more oily :/

Came in a nice glass bottle but had a screw top lid which i wasnt a fan of and i dont like over spill of product. I found this product had a very oily feeling and after applying my face looked very shiny! I found this product to be a light to medium coverage. It didnt last that long either. Would not buy this again as this formula was way to oily!!

Don't like the bottle, feels too greasy and makes me look shiny, lucky i was given my bottle so i didnt waste money buying it!

I bought a bottle of this as I knew I would need a new foundation soon, and I wanted to try something that had just came on to the market. I can't say I was too pleased with this as it made me look shiny and oily. The coverage wasn't the best which made me use more, and eventually I ended up with a face that looked some what dirty. I guess that is why they came out with the 'fit me' range that I am yet to try :)
