Fit me doesn't fit me

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.

Tips: I recommend using it over your foundation and concealer routine to set it all in. Also use a brush, not the applicator it comes with. It is much more effective.

just ok...

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.

Average

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.

Tips: I use it on top of foundation for the best result.

not my favourite

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

Tips: After applying use a highlighter on the cheekbones and browbone or any areas on the face to highlight to make it look less matte and make it look glowing. This will make your face look more awake and young. Less cakes and more natural.

Surprisingly impressed

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!

Tips: I think this needs to be applied with a big soft brush that is not overly dense. I believe it may get a bit cakey if applied too with a kabuki or something similar. A great powder for makeup beginners, cheap yet good quality and easy to work with!

Fit Me

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.

Tips: Does not conceal well so needs to be matched with a concealer unless you have good smooth skin. Also, Make sure to use a light brush when applying.

Great stuff

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.

For a Natural Look!!

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!

Tips: Recommend this for a light natural finish, and great for oily skin as i found it helps to absorb some of the oil :)

Amazing!

I use this product every day as it makes my skin look so natural and smooth! It's really handy to have to just finish your look. Easy to apply and doesn't turn your skin orange. The little mirror is useful for if you don't have a mirror handy. A nice shape and easy to carry around. I'm very impressed!
