I purchased this product with high expectations after how much attention it got. I was very quickly disappointed :( Barely any coverage and doesn't stay in place. It made my skin look so oily and sweaty.

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.
I like to use this product to work. This is so light weight in my face. Perfect for someone who works in a food industry. It is not fully coverage but I think I like it as it is. :)
Tips: I like applying it using my Chichi make up sponge.
Although it is super light weight and feels nice on, throughout the day I found it to make me look oily. The product didn't stay in place well even with using a primer and setting powder on top. Oily areas on my skin like around my nose and mouth didn't hold the product well. If you have oily skin, this wouldn't be my first pick for you.
I have quite oily skin so this foundation didn't sit well with my skin type, I could imagine for someone who isn't as oily it would be amazing, the coverage was quite good but I wouldn't buy it again
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.
Tips: Mix this product with a bn cream for abit more coverage 50/50
I thought it looked great so i brought it. I was looking foward to trying it as my sister said she loved it. I applied it and straight away i didnt like it. It made me look like a cake, it is very runny an i wasted alot of product trying to get it out of the bottle, it would help by having a pump that way i could get the right amount instead of to much. The bottle looks good but i wont buy again.
Similar experience with the FitMe pressed powder. This was not super cakey but not really natural either, staying powder was not great and I needed to powder my nose constantly even with primer and setting powder. It's an okay foundation but I would probably recommend another product over this one.
Considering this product is quite cheap and is available at most chemists or places you can find makeup, it is an overall good quality product. Does it's job - quite well for the price
Tips: Do try before you buy. Shades aren't that different in contrast
This foundation is good but not great. I has a medium coverage but is build able. I find it sits on my skin frequently and only sometimes will blend in nicely and look natural. I have tried every application tool I can find and still haven't found a perfect one. It will last a few ours on my skin before breaking down and looking flakes and patchy. If you are looking for a short wearing foundation then this one is good but can be difficult to blend in nicely.
