Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

This foundation is marketed towards dry skin, they've now re-branded it as the 'Dewy & Smooth' Fit Me which clearly supports that it is aimed at dry skin. I have dry skin and could not make this work for the life of me.

It has a runny formula with quite a light coverage, which I don't mind at all. I was hoping it would be similar to a glowy BB cream on the skin and it did look nice and dewy when first applied but an hour later it would start going down hill. It would break up on my skin, start looking patchy and every single shade oxidised and turned super orange (for reasons unknown I purchased 4 different shades at a big bucket sale, so I had a few to test).

The worst part of all was that I would already be looking like an orange blotchy mess, but it then slapped on the grease! It takes a lot for me to look oily, but this foundation managed it every single time, primer or no primer, powder or no powder, I was shining from every pore on my face. I held on to these foundations for a year, pulling them out every now and then with renewed hope, but I recently gave up the fight! There's no helping this foundation mixed with my face.

I needed a cheaper alternative so I was matched to my perfect shade of Maybelline Fit Me and opted for the dewy option. I have dry flaky skin so I prefer to have a dewy appearance. I find that the dewy look makes my skin appear as it glows and definitely less dry. The bottle actually annoys me more than it should. It has no pump to dispel the foundation so I have to make a mess by tipping it on to my hand. The formula is rather thin for my liking so it runs off my hand easily when I am applying.

I apply mine with the RT foundation brush which gets in to the crevices best for me. I wipe my palms over my entire face to get rid of brush marks. The coverage is mediocre at best. It promised full coverage but it was medium! I found myself having to apply concealer just to get the best coverage possible.

Three hours in and my skin feels very dry! I check my face and all I see is patches of foundation that have clung to my dry patches! I see a powdery residue that is supposed to be a dewy appearance. I thought this maybe the way I applied it so used it with primer and with a finishing powder but still the same result every time. There was no dewy glow at all just a dull powder like look.

By the time lunch time comes around I find myself having to reapply some foundation to maintain the coverage. It doesn't have much stay power even with loose powder. I was assured that this would be the best alternative to my normal foundation but really all it did was make my skin worse. I spent two weeks nursing it back to semi-moisturised. As a result of using this I broke out in to areas of acne. My skin hadn't ever reacted to a foundation like that.

I am highly disappointed in this product. I have seen and heard many great things but I am sorry to say that it failed to impress me. It left me in worse shape than before so I think I would rather spend the extra $20 and get my holy grail. Thanks but no thanks!

Unfortunately my skin didn't like this as much, I have very dry skin and a lot of frock Les so I found it was very sheer with coverage next to none, but it's very affordable and would be good for a everyday wear if your wanting to even your skin tone and not be to heavy.

Not a fan, I have combo/oily skin and it just slides off even with using a primer & setting powder. The smallest rub with you hand will take it off. Wouldn’t buy again.. also the Ivory colour is VERY warm! Would love to see some more cooler tones

I have been wanting to try this for quite some time and finally purchased it when I saw it on sale at Countdown. I really wanted to love this as I was looking for something with a bit more more natural coverage. Natural? Yes. Coverage? non existent. I have BB creams that cover more than this does! This would be awesome if you had flawless skin which alas I don't. The colour I got (120) matched me perfectly though and it blended in beautifully leaving a dewy natural finish. I will continue my search fr the perfect foundation but will stick to more medium to full coverage ones from now on. I think next on my to try list is the Loreal True Match

I bought this product to experiment on types of foundation. The only reason I will continue to use this product because it would be a waste to throw it away but I will not buy another one. I have oily, acne prone type of skin and I found this product very thick on my skin even though I blend it with my ELF stippling brush. The texture is very very liquidy however it is very oily on my skin. This product makes my face shine, like grease and it doesn't blend very well. It makes me feel that my face is so dirty. I will try using a sponge next time, maybe it's my application style. But the product I do not recommend for people with oily skin like mine.

I found this product average. Looks good when first applied and has decent coverage, however after a few hours my skin appears greasy and the foundation starts to rub off. Happy to finish what I've got but don't think I'll buy it again,

I used / only use this product when I'm broke. I'm sad to say that for me this did not cover my face well or hide any blemishes. It didn't stay on for long even when coated with powder on top (as with oily skin I always seal foundation with powder to take away added shinny). I felt it was thin and very runny. Good price but I guess you get what you pay for. it'd be probably best suited to 14 yr olds or people with perfect skin who wouldn't really need coverage. A sad let down especially seeing as Maybelline makes a lot of my other fav make up items

I have Normal/ Dry skin, and I have tried to love this product many times. But the fact is, after a few hours my face just looks greasy. Not Dewy, greasy. I would have to say that this foundation is a Light/ Medium foundation when applied, but after a few hours it appears to wear off really easily.
