Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder Review

When i tried this powder I was excited! I thought it was gonna be really good! Can say that when i started using it, i was just using it over my concealer (as i wasnt using liquid foundation just yet) and it was good when i DID start using liquid foundation to lighten my face in the awkward summer-to-winter transition phase. But I did find it... ok this is going to sound stupid, but very powdery! it didnt set my foundation (it always moved during the day) and it caked up my face no matter how little i applied. The only positive i found was the brightening aspect, but that only lasted a month before i got sick of it.

I'm fairly new to the whole foundation/concealer process. I was issued the Fit me foundation stick trial from Beautyreview, so I purchased this powder to match.

The packaging is rather bulky and large compared to the product inside. There is very little product. It's not convenient for a makeup bag, or in fact to fit in my makeup drawers. It is a nuisance.

I find that the formula is very powdery, almost chalky consistency. It goes on nice and easy, but has very minimal coverage which doesn't impress me. I like to have something that is very full coverage, otherwise I don't see the point.

It doesn't set in very well, and I find that when I touch my face, it comes off on my fingers. However it does a nice job of making my face appear brighter.

I do like that it is lightweight as I don't like the feel of make up on my face and it gives you a subtle, natural look, and the light coverage, I guess is a good use on good skin days, where my acne scarring and pimples have faded, but other than that it's pretty mehhh.

While I will continue to use this, I definitely would not re-buy.

Wasn't too keen on this powder. It didn't seem to do much at all. In fact I could keep applying and applying and barely notice any Difference over top of my foundation. I like a powder with more coverage which this doesn't have at all.

This is a good powder if you're looking for something which has a very natural look. Saying that, the coverage isn't the best, you have to put quite a bit on for it to cover anything.

Not my favorite powder but it's pretty good. Very smooth and isn't too bad. Very matte, so it is a very good match with the fit me liquid foundation because it is very oily and this is very matte. Doesn't last very long I find myself having to reapply it a couple of times throughout that day. It doesn't cover much so you have to apply quite a lot and it ends up very heavy and caked. This powder smells quite nice though xx

I purchased this on a whim, needing a powder in a hurry and am really quite pleased with the results. There was a pretty good range of colours. I think it gives quite a natural, semi-matte finish. I can reapply once during the day (which is all I need, over my T-zone) and no cakey finish!

I always use this powder because it's light and easy to use when your on the run. Although it does not stay on for a really long time it does the job and stays on well in comparison with other powders. Although it can be hard to find your right colour once done your on track because the 120 is quite pale and the 225 is quite orangy unless your skin leans that way already. Overall a good buy if needing something quick and light.

I have found it quite hard to find a foundation and powder that didn't turn me orange. This product is the best match I have found. Matches well with my skin. The puffer falls apart before the container is used up though.

Wasn't a big fan of this too be honest. To start I felt it did absolutely nothing to my skin when I put it on. Like didn't even look like I had powder on. Was a tad disappointed in it as I had heard great things about it. I thought maybe I had got a dud but my sister was using it aswell because we brought it at the same time. She also said she didn't like it and felt like you were putting nothing on your skin. Although maybe it just wasn't for our skin types I'm not sure.

Also found the packaging so bulky and awkward.

I love this product! It is so convenient with the built in mirror! It easy to apply when your in a rush and gives a nice and natural light coverage! I do need to reapply it once during the day, but its worth it because i think it supplies a nice natural finish, and its suitable for everyday wear, without my skin being smothered in heavy cakey products. This is a product i use for evening out my uneven skin-tone, not for heavy coverage! As i have olive-dark skin, it is really hard to find a good match, but this powder suited my skin-tone perfectly, which made this a winning product in my eyes. However, in the winter months, my skin is too dry for powder, so i use a liquid foundation, and use this powder for setting!
