Having heard rave reviews about this product was really looking forward to seeing if it lived up to the hype. While the coverage was okay I did find that the foundation just looked dried out on my skin after a while (I wear a primer and have an oily T-zone!) I wouldn't purchase this again as I just felt it didn't sit or look right on my skin - in saying that LOVE their concealer!!

I absolutely hated this foundation. My skin is usually quite dry but this foundation made me super oily every time i used it. It also oxidised really bad and within a couple of hours of putting it on i was an orange oily mess
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.
Tips: wasn't suitable for my oily skin!
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 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
Tips: Use along with powder.
Not fussed on this product. I know that many people love it but for me I found it just sat on top of my face instead of blending in. One plus I found was that the colour matched well, I would probably only recommend this if someone needed a last minute foundation.
