Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder Review

I tried this in conjunction with the Fit Me foundation, I thought awesome these two products should go hand in hand and look fabulous, boy was I wrong. This powder ended up looking cakey and did nothing to mattify.

It is cheap which is very good as I'm a student and can't afford expensive powders! I think it is good although not good when you want to cover up blemishes (not very good coverage) as it is very light. Only good for casual daily use

This was the first (and only) powder I have ever bought and I used it in conjunction with the fit me foundation as I figured they would be great combined. Waste of money in my opinion! I have never bought another powder after this due to being pretty unimpressed. I felt really cakey, and although had been color matched when they were promoting this line I felt like the color was wrong for me. I do prefer the glowing look over matte, and like my makeup to be breathable and natural looking! think I still have a near full one hidden away somewhere!

This is a pretty good, affordable setting powder - I I use it after applying foundation to set it. Goes on seamlessly. and doesn't leave your skin feeling cakey or thick. The container is uber cute! No complaints here.

This product is a solid supermarket brand staple. For the price I thoroughly recommend it. It's my daily staple.

I am lucky enough to have relatively clear skin and I don't use a foundation most days, I just dust this powder over my face.

Case: Useful, powder puff underneath the powder and mirror (although a little small) is useful if you are on the go. The case opens and closes easily and I have used several of these and had no issues with breakage or damage. Feels nice in your hand - quite compact.

Coverage: If you are looking for solid coverage, definitely use a foundation underneath. If you struggle with blemishes or need higher level coverage I wouldn't recommend this product. As above, I use it as powder and foundation for me.

Application: Although the powder puff is in the case I use a large powder brush, you get a better finish that isn't so cakey looking. Although it's more to carry it's worth it.

Lasting: I find if applied well, with a moisturiser on underneath I get all day coverage from this product with no need to re-apply. I am in an office environment most days meeting and greeting people so I need products to last - this is perfect for me.

Colour: Pick a shade darker than you're used to (see tips below).

Great product, not as long lasting as I would like but does do the job. Fit Me Foundation and this product do NOT go together like I would have thought and would not recommend using in conjunction..the result is cakey looking, terrible feeling skin. With less oily foundations, this powder does work well.

I am now on my fourth lot of this in shade 210. For the price, the quality and quantity, I can't complain. Well maybe one little thing: The sponge blender that comes with it, breaks on me everytime, half way through the product :/ But I can deal with that. It goes on nicely, and the end result is so natural (I think this could be because its not a full coverage type of powder). I have it in foundation too but it is nowhere near as good as the powder and the two go horribly together. I recommend this for sure though!

This does give off a natural, matte finish and I love it! I brought three of these at the makeup sale two years ago and I'm on the last one! Its lasted so long and i would say I put makeup on at least three times a week!! The staying power of this is okay, considering i always am touching my face (putting my hands on my cheeks etc...) and for the price you cant really go wrong! I previously was using Rimmels stay matte powder and that was pretty similar to this as well!

I've been using this powder for a couple of weeks and I really like it! I use the 120 Classic Ivory and it is the perfect shade for me :-) I also love the price I paid $15 and I'm very happy with it. I don't apply it with the little spongey thing that comes with it, instead I use a large powder brush & it works amazingly well. I believe I have found my new favourite.

This powder is good if you have run out of your favourite stuff. I use as a back up. Its not that great coverage but it does an okay job to be able to leave the house lol!
