Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder Review

I usually find it difficult to find darker colours at the drugstore so was stoked to find a shade that "fit me" ;) but unfortunately this stuff has little or no oil control. So my face is an oil slick in an hour or two.I can only use this when I have a full face of makeup - oil controlling primer, foundation and some setting powder over the fit me powder because that is the only way it will remain matte on me. Such a shame because I love the colour range and the packaging.

I wrote a review for the matching "Fit me" foundation and was equally disappointed with this powder. It looked ok after initial application but quickly faded making my skin look oily so needed to be touched up often. Definitely not a fan :-(

wont make the mistake of buying this again. makes your skin patchy and orange looking even though i got the lightest shade and im not that pale! but i guess you do get what you pay for

This powder did nothing for me apart from make the hairs on my face stand out. I am fair skinned so purchased the lightest colour available and it came out orange. The powder puff fell apart straight away and the powder breaks apart and falls out of the case also. Also lasted less than an hour. Dislike!

I was quite excited to try out this powder and was quickly disappointed with it. There is a lot of fall out and not much stays on the brush - and that's using high end makeup brushes that I normally don't have any fall out with, even when using glittery products. The powder had little to no coverage and kind of just sat on my face. It was off by lunch time. Every other powder I have ever used lasts till at least lunch time, so I stopped using it after only a couple of days and binned it.

Remember getting the shade 120, years back for a christmas gift from a friend and thinking this powder was quite bad, I tried so hard to like it as it was a generous gift from a good friend of mine back then and we were very young so spending $25 on a powder was very kind, but I just couldn't. It was a pale, white mess, like a lightweight consistency but it was so pale that it looked as if I dipped my face in flour. Next shade up was too dark so it was either pale white or orange. This powder would stick to any hair or dry patches on my skin and provided basically zero coverage. Wouldn't even think to purchase nowadays, probably get a better powder at postie plus for less $$.

If you are searching for a HG pressed powder MACs Studio Fix pressed powder is they way to go, but if you're not willing to splurge and are looking for a cheaper alternative to set your foundation and remove shine then I would go with Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder.... This press powder leaves your foundation looking cakey and keeps shine away for only around 30 minutes, and I have normal to dry skin! If you put any setting sprays over this powder, even something as light at MAC Fix+ it makes your foundation separate.

I literally have nothing to say about this product, because I swear it does NOTHING. I found myself packing it on like crazy just to see if it would make any difference to my skin, but nope. It's sad because I love the Fit Me foundation, and I thought if it was as good as the foundation, I would have a perfect little duo. Nope, not the case.

For the price I would definitely not purchase it again, when there are other powders (rimmel Stay matte) that are much cheaper and work much better. I'm sorry Maybelline, I usually love everything else you do, but I just could not love this powder.

Much like it's foundation partner, this line of make up was a serious let down. On my budget and the way I was raised we don't generally replace things until they're used up so after buying the foundation and finding it horribly impossible to work with I thought I might try it with the powder see if that balances it out. How wrong I was! After applying the powder I found my face to not only look but also feel caked in make up. Patchy and quite frankly unsuitable for oily skin. I will never buy this again it made everything so much worse and almost embarrassing to face the world in.
