Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

I thought this would be a great shade for me as I usually find foundation shades hard to match. however the colour I chose didn't match my skin it was very light compared to the bottle. which I was quite surprised about since this is advertised at "women of colour" I am half islander/half kiwi.

the formula is runny and goes on very light, I found it wasn't even great to use as a base product. it stuck into all my pores and wasn't quite right, it also left my oily skin feeling very greasy.

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.

Not the best foundation! i have oily skin even with a primer also baking my face and using a setting spray it never lasts longer then 4 hours! making me extremely shiny and oily looking! im sure it would be good if i had dry skin.

I'm not a big fan on this foundation i found that it didn't last very long even with primer, i did like how it was light and not cakey though , however i want something that lasts all day and this just doesn't meet my requirements , there is better out there for sure.it is a good foundation if your on a budget. :)

I'm so sad that this foundation doesnt come in a shade pale enough for me ! it has really good coverage and doesn't cake or slide over time. It just doesnt come light enough

Maybelline usually have some fantastic products, but this one was a bit of a let down. I matched the product using the match sheet and purchased the one which supposedly matched my skin tone, only to use it and find that it wasnt the right colour, it was a little too orange and the shade down too light. The coverage is initially good, but as the day wears on I find that it tends to slide... not really suitable for oilier skin types. I also found it didnt provide very good coverage for blemishes. I personally hate feeling like my makeup is caked on, but I still like a solid long lasting coverage and this one just didn't fit that for me.

By reading these reviews I can tell lots of people absolutely LOVED this foundation, and so many people actually didn't like it. Unfortunately I am among some of those who didn't like it! It just didn't work for me sadly :(

I was given this foundation from a friend who bought the wrong colour. I would not buy this for myself and kept it as an in case of emergency foundation. The formula is too runny for my liking and after a few hours it tends to look chalky on my skin.

It's foundation comes in loads of shades so I had no problem finding one that suited. However I just couldn't build up the coverage that I wanted. It is quite sheer. Would possibly me good for school and things like that.

I bought the 220 shade and I found it really pretty on the skin for the first half an hour, but then, throughout the day, it went cakey and made my skin look really oily, especially around my nose. If you want a natural finish you have to use a good brush and blend it reeeeally well, otherwise it will look cakey. I recommend a small brush and building it slowly other than caking it all up at once. If you have combination skin (like mine, it gets dry after I wash it, I sort that out with a moisturizer and it gets olity during the day), you might need a good mattifying primer. I do like the concealer from the FIT ME range, but I dont tink I will be back to buying the foundation. It also comes in a glass bottle and without a pump, which I dont like.
