Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder Review

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.

For someone as ridiculously pale as me, this makeup is a godsend! I have always struggled heaps to find makeup white enough for me. I use it in the lightest shade (115 I think?). This powder is great, I goes on great and I can either use it on its own, or on top of foundation as a setting powder. It gives a great mac look, but also does (if you look closely) have some sparkle to it, which only means that in flash photos, its extra flattering :)

The only downside to this powder is that it does not last all day, so if you have a long day ahead of you, bring the powder with you!

However, for the price, and the fact that its the first powder in my colour I have found (since the Loreal bare mineral pressed powder got cancelled), this product is the one must have item in my makeup bag!

I have had this powder for a while now and use it everyday! I use this to set my foundation/concealer and helps my makeup stay on throughout the day. Personally, it doesn't have that much coverage so using it on its own wouldn't do much of a difference, but for a setting powder its a perfect item to have in your makeup bag. For the price, I would definitely recommend this product.

This is definitely a product that is good for everyday use. It is moderate coverage and has light feel while wearing it. Super easy it use and not “cakey” at all. Definitely worth the price! My favourite aspect about this product is that it doesn’t clog my pores like some other powder foundations do. I use this on top of my BB cream and it looks like I’m not wearing any makeup at all.

I bought this powder for no reason in particular besides being a compulsive hoarder and it being on sale.

It comes in a basic compact which is functional but slightly bulkier than it needs to be in my opinion. The powder is smooth and makes a fairly good setting powder however does not provide enough pigment to be worn as a foundation which is fairly disappointing for me as I like to wear powder foundations to work.

The thing I loathe about this powder (and pretty much the sole reason that I marked it down so much) that I didn't notice when I first bought it is that it contains glitter in it! Not small finely milled shimmers to make you glow, just big old pieces of glitter.. My boyfriend asked me why I'd put glitter all over my face the first time I wore it.

Overall this is a good setting powder if you don't mind the occasional chunky glitters however if you are in the market for a matte powder or powder foundation I suggest this probably isn't the product for you and I won't be repurchasing.
