I found the Fit Me foundation to be a light coverage alternative to BB cream.I personally prefer a fuller coverage for the days I want to wear make up. Even with a primer it doesn't stay all day which I didn't like. I do like that it didn't clog my pores & it came off fairly easy when washing off.

Reviews
This was an average foundation. I love how there are 18 shades so you are guaranteed to find one that matches your skin tone. What i didn't like about it was that it was low coverage and that it didn't work so well on my oily skin as it made my skin feel extremely greasy.
Tips: Do not use this if you have oily skin
Great coverage, but found it needed reapplying frequently. Quite a runny consistency. Best used with a foundation brush. Great value for money
Tips: Use a brush to apply
loved it at first was great on my skin gave me great coverage but then after a while my skin rejected it and i stared to get really oily skin.
Tips: use the fit me setting powder after
I love the way this foundation looks on my skin, looks dewy and radiant. Looks awesome in photos as well. Although it's called Fit Me, 120 is too dark on my skin and 110 is too light (and most places don't sell 110). The main downside is that throughout the day it does get patchy (I have normal skin) whenever I wear it I make sure I carry it in my handbag with a make up brush to touch up. Also, another down fall is that it's not very touch proof. I hesitate when hugging others and I'm in fear of half my face ending up on their shirt!
Tips: Blott your face with a tissue then use a good setting powder when applying.
I was excited to try this foundation because it’s for normal to oily skin. Maybelline have rebranded their Fit Me products well at least the foundations. There is this one the matte and poreless and the normal fit me foundation with the original formula. The Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation is a tone and texture fitting foundation formulated with blurring micro-powders that supposed to mattify, erase pores and absorb oil for a naturally matte and poreless looking finish. The formula is a very thin and runny consistency.
The formula is made for normal to oily skin types, if you have dry skin this is not for you, i recommend trying the dewy and smooth formula. The foundation shade selection comes in 16 shades, i got the 235 pure beige. The packaging comes in a glass bottle, with a description sticker on the back of all the ingredients, the shade name and number on top of the lid and also the brand name, shade and number on the front of the bottle. This foundation also doesn’t contain a pump dispenser.
The foundation feels very lightweight on the skin and provides a light to medium coverage, it’s certainly not a full coverage foundation but can be layered for a fuller coverage without making your skin look cakey. It is very easy to blend out with a foundation flat top brush but i found using a damp beauty blender made the foundation look beautiful with a really nice finish. The finish of it isn’t matte i felt it was more of a velvet finish. I also tested for flashback taking a photo with and without flash and there was no flashback.
I found the foundation did oxidize roughly 45 minutes after application as well as the foundation did sink into my pores. It did not control my oil very well at all, i found it made my T zone area where i would normally get oiliness a lot worse then normal. I found myself using alot of blotting tissues and after each use the foundation had transferred onto the blotting tissues. I don’t recommend this foundation at all for those hot sunny days especially if you have oily skin, i think this foundation is more suited for normal skin.
Overall i am disappointed with this foundation and i don’t like it at all, Maybelline need a pump dispenser for their foundation products especially for how runny the product is, their is no control over how much you pour out onto the back of your hand or mixing palette. I don’t recommend it for users whom have oily skin or enlarged pores. I think it’s best suited more for people who have normal skin with much smaller pores. I am thinking the formula isn’t strong enough for enlarged pores and for people who have oily skin. This product is not something i will repurchase.
Tips: Apply with fingers or a brush, if you have mild oily skin you can set it with a powder after your foundation application & before applying foundation also a good primer is good too.
Love how this foundation has many shades to choose from :) I could never find my right shade. Really like this foundation as is doesnt cake up on my face and how is looks realky natural :) xx
Tips: If you have oily skin like myself, I press powder my face to set th foundation
I'm on the fence with this product. I have the fit me powder, sticks and the liquid.. This is the only one I am disappointed with. I find it makes my skin quite shiney and looks quite oily. I do still use the product but not as my main foundation.
A couple of years ago I only wore foundation and mascara. I didnt get colour matched, I just guessed. So I'm super pale and got 320? Don't know why, I thought it would match. It was horrible, I then got 230, then 225, then 130. NONE OF THEM LOOKED GOOD D: They were either too yellow toned or too pink toned, I felt like the colour selection is definitely not as big as it could be, also even though I didnt get colour matched, I still didnt get any help in decided which is why I wasted about 80 on colours that were way off. Also makes it feel cakey on my face which I hate, it's not too bad for night outs just I wouldnt leave it on for too long and the feel and look of it makes me think of breakouts eeek
Tips: Even though colour wasnt great, I mixed 220 and 130 together which created a colour I was able to wear out at night and use powder etc to lessen the colour a bit. I still have them and use them, but I suggest mixing colours like I had to do and even then it wasnt perfect :/
Design - I don't like the design of the bottle at all. Especially when you are close to finishing as you really have to bang the bottle to get out what is left and lots tends to stick inside the bottle. Foundation - I use 225 - it offers light coverage to my skin and I feel does have quite an orange tinge to it on my skin. It however is not cakey and does not feel like it clogs my pores which is what I like about it. I don't like the way that it sits around my nose though which is an area on my face which is quite dry. I use this foundation mainly on days where I want light coverage for work.
Tips: Makeup sales usually sell this for a cheaper price.
