Wish I'd tried this sooner...

Awesome foundation. I have it in the dewy and poreless and love them both. Great coverage and applies really smooth over your face. Bought three weeks ago and I have every intention of repurchasing.

Fit Me

My sister and I fought for the last bottle of 225 at Farmers. We had heard great reviews about this product and being sisters we wanted to try it out before the other.

Of course I won!

I found this product to be very light and work well with my skin, especially if I used a primer beforehand.

When I look for a foundation I don't want it to look like I have caked on my make up, I want it to look like I have barely any make up on which is what this product does for me.

The only problem I have with it is that it is not long lasting.

Overall it is still one of my favourite foundations, and always have a spare bottle incase my sister comes for her weekly raid of my make up :P

No good for oily/combination skin

I purchased this product last year, the price is good (very affordable).

Product is not the best, I have oily skin. And this product along with the FitMe powder just was not cutting it. The coverage was very light for me personally, and the formulation just seemed to make my face look even more oily :/

My current foundation

Maybelline fit me is the foundation I use currently, I have it in shades 210 and 225 which I alternate when I tan. I also use the darker shade for contouring on top of the lighter shade. The packing is nice and clean but the bottle could use a pump! It also has a pleasant smell. The formula is very runny so you have to be careful when getting it out of the bottle. A little also goes a long way. I honestly had a lot of issues with this foundation when I first started using it, but these seemed to go away when I changed my application (initially used the RT stippling brush but changed to a damp beauty blender). I have found that I can now build up a nice even coverage. I have oily skin and this is a dewy finish foundation, which isn't ideal, but I find that it works great when finished with a Rimmel translucent powder.

Tips: Maybelline is about to redesign the bottles so they say 'Dewey and Smooth' on the bottle in preparation for the NZ arrival of the 'Matt & Poreless' version of this foundation, which is exciting news for those of us who have oily skin!

I love fit me foundation. It is smooth an non heavy and easy to apply . It gives you a flawless finish and it is lets your skin breathe . It is a light coverage but I find it to be pretty good on my skin.

Fit Me

I think this was my first Maybelline foundation. I used to love this but back then, I wasn't so into makeup and I was truly a beginner and didn't know my proper shades yet etc.

Anyway, I love the shade selection of the Fit Me range. It's great because you're bound to find a match and if not, you can easily blend two shades together for the perfect foundation match on your skin.

The formula is quite runny and be careful with the bottle because it doesn't have a pump. Since I have oily skin, I didn't find this foundation too great after a while. It just didn't last as long and didn't help mattify my skin either after a few hours of wear. I stopped using it and haven't reached for it in a very long time.

I think this is better for dry to normal skin but for oily ones, stay away. Maybelline just brought out a Matte + Poreless Fit Me foundation and that is much better for oily skin.

A little less than average

I've read a lot of reviews on this foundation, mainly from beauty bloggers, but now I'm starting to believe they just back up whoever pays them. Disappointing.

I got this from farmers, the price is reasonable for the amount you get, and the lady at the counter told me what colour to get, and how my skin would be perfect. I was extremely excited. Taking in mind that I have combination skin, so some of the areas on my face can get quite oily.

This foundation didn't last on my face for too long, it melts quickly, and although it blends it nicely in the beginning, it doesn't stay that way unless you put some setting powder on top. It really was depressing for someone with my type of skin.

I didn't like putting powder on every 3 hours when out on a long day, and I certainly couldn't powder my dry areas. So now, I have a half oily, half matte face.

I still have a pretty full bottle, i'll use it to mix foundations etc, but never wearing it alone again!

Tips: If you have oily skin, stay away

Didn't work for me

I did not like this product at all!!! I was so disappointed by this product!!! The colours are very good however I found the lightest shade a bit too orangey. The consistency is very sheer but buildable yet It is not thick enough to cover up redness very well. I found this product broke me out very badly even after one day. Overall this product was not amazing for me which was disapointing.

Tips: For the no makeup look this foundation is good.

Brilliant on a budget

As a makeup artist I'm always on the lookout for beautiful foundations. Yes all the top end brands have great coverage or sheer coverage and staying power but I tried this on myself and fell in love. My skin is relatively dry so always use moisturiser beforehand and although a lot of reviewers say their foundation didn't stay on, I find no problem with it. I love the colour choices. If I can't find the right colour I use a darker and lighter one and mix...voila! Perfect match. The coverage is buildable and when I used it on others who needed it to stay all day, I pressed powder over top and they all reported their skin looked beautiful all day and felt as though it could breathe. In all honesty, this would be easily one of the best foundations I have ever used

Tips: Mixing a lighter and darker colour on the back of your hand can give you the perfect match if you can't find yours

Maybe Me

This foundation is extremely light. It is great for everyday use as it doesn't clog the pores (as much as alternatives). It is very affordable and easily accessible. The unique design makes it different to other designs. Having to pour it out of the bottle is a little inconvenient. I recommend not to use this if you are looking to a full coverage look. But it can be used as a primer or tinted moisturizer to compliment thicker alternatives.

Tips: An affordable everyday foundation.
