Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

Lays beautifully on the skin, I just wish that they'd bring it out in a few more lighter shades as the lightest in the range being sold here in NZ is slightly too dark, I mix it with my other favourite to achieve a flawless base.

I only got this foundation as I was in a rush and couldn't find the one I normally use. It did its job, but don't think it was for my skin type I have quite oily skin and it felt my pores all clogged and made me break out! eek! wont be using this one again :(

I tried this due to the title 'Fit Me' because I always have the problem of finding the perfect colour for my skin but this foundation did not fit me at all. I chose one thinking it would be perfect but it was too light after application and when I opted for a shade darker it was too dark. I do tend to have quite oily skin at times so I would definitely not recommend this to people with oily skin. It felt quite heavy on my face and that's never a nice feeling and had to apply a powder several times during the day to keep the shine under control. I wouldn't buy this again.

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.

I got the Maybelline Fit Me foundation in the shade 120, which was a perfect match for me, so in that sense it was a great find to start off with. However as I began to use to product more, it became cakey and streaky. It didn't last throughout the day, even when I powdered over the top. It has high coverage, however this can make it look caked on, so you need to apply with a light hand. Overall I think this product wasn't right for my skin type, but it could work for others!

This is the foundation I find I always go back to after trialling a few others. The shades (am using 220) are what I love most... it's a perfect fit for me in shades. It lasts practically all day, doesn't slide or cake and it looks natural if blended in well, I find a beauty sponge or blender works better than brushes for this product. I have a lot of acne scarring and when using this product I can use minimal concealer. Love it!

I really liked trying this foundation as my friend recommend i try it as i have uneven skin-tone, i found it worked very well to do that, very creamy and very easy to put on, but wish they would bring a shade lighter out.

Didn't really like it, didn't seem to do the coverage on my skin that it said it would. Wasn't the right colour even though i got my skin tone and the make up matched. Would always run off.

I was told by many of my friends to try this product as they loved it , but i soon found i did not love it! It did not give very good coverage for my skin , which is prone to blemishes and redness. It also did not last long throughout the day, it felt more like a bb cream or tinted moisturizer to me rather than a foundation. x

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
