Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

This foundation claims it has new shades formulate for women of colour, which SHOULD translate to some with yellow tones that STAY yellow. Unfortunately this foundation oxidised on me within 20 minutes to a rather unpleasant reddish colour that looked very unnatural.

This is a good light-medium foundation if you build it up. I have it in the shade porcelain which is great when I'm really pale though I'm not sure if it is available to buy in New Zealand. In winter I can wear this by itself but it summer I have to set it even though I have normal to dry skin. Despite this I think it's a good drugstore foundation for everyday and the finish with or without powder is lovely.

Tried this foundation after hearing my friends rave about it. I have to say it was very disappointing, within the first hour of application, I had noticed it was sliding off my face. Please note, I always use a foundation without primer or powder when I first try it to see how it is going to last. The following few days I used foundation primer, and setting powder as well as spray in an effort to keep the product from sliding off my face. I do not have an over oily skin, and do not usually have issues like this come up. I have never had to buy a foundation formulated for an oily skin. My T-zone is a bit oily but that is considered normal in my profession and have never had to use formulations for oily skin on myself or clients with an oily t-zone. The coverage is ok if you want a very natural look, but for people that like a fuller coverage or have blemishes, scars or pigmentation to cover, this is not for you. To be able to have this foundation last on me. I need to use foundation primer, setting powder and spray and I need to blot and re powder my T-zone hourly to prevent sliding. This process can be very expensive cosmetics wise. As for one bottle of foundation, you will need two pots of setting powder. Needless to say, I stopped using this on clients very quickly.

What I do love about this foundation is the wide variety of shades that it comes in; I wear 315. It also has a great dewy finish, but this also makes it unsuitable for oily skin. I always set this foundation with powder, and that is when it makes my skin look better than it does without it (you do NOT want to sweat while wearing this foundation because it will absolutely not stay put). It won't cover any blemishes because it's so light, so concealer is a must for that. Yet I do love that it doesn't have a pump and that it comes in a glass bottle.

I absolutely love this foundation! First off finding the tone the suited me was super easy but they may have just been luck. This is a very light foundation but that's all im wanting it for. Its great for the everyday foundation to wear to work. I was previously wearing high coverage heavy makeup but my skin hated me from it. I have been using this for two months now and my skin is looking much better. No breakouts from clogged skin. Also helps my skin breathe in this hot summer we are having. Although it is light it does seem to last me all day when I have set it with powder. If im wanting a heavier coverage i just team it with my concealer and build up the foundation.

Brought this at a sale as it was $8 and I'm still looking for the perfect foundation and had read some great reviews! I'm not disappointed. I like how it is a light coverage but could easily add more if you need more coverage as it's very easy to apply and blend. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy my skin could breathe. It didn't feel gritty or have any kind of shimmer through it just a nice dewy finish. It comes in a long tall glass bottle with no pump (grrrrr) so be careful when pouring it out. It does last all day even in the heat and I didn't notice any rub off on clothing. I haven't noticed any breakouts and I have been lucky enough that I didn't have to use primer underneath first ad it just seems to sit perfectly on its own. Easy to remove with both make up removing towelettes or with make up remover. There is nothing I dislike about this foundation just wish they could put a pump in the bottle. (Colour 325)

This foundation is a nice colour for my skin, although I applied a primer after my skin care routine this foundation did not last as long as I hoped it would, it came off quite quickly. It is a great foundation if you set it with powder and setting spray, I would not recommend wearing it alone. I got this for $10 NZD

I absolutely loved this! I was 120 and it was perfect! It gave me the right coverage for school and it didn't look too heavy! The texture was very smooth and I felt it was easy to apply. The glass bottle really made the make up last longer and it also kept it cool. I would definitely buy it again as the price was good for me being a student :)

I have very pale skin and find it hard to match my skin with foundation. I brought this at Farmers in the shade 115 and it was the prefect match. I find it does wear of quite easy but if you use the FitME powder with it is stays on for longer. I can use this for light coverage to full coverage. I would recommend to everyone :)

These foundations I find have a slight orangey tone. It is unpleasant under certain lights. However the coverage itself had as much coverage as you would get for the price. It got rid of redness but still kept those red blemishes and didn't dim them out very well. Its a very thin texture which takes a lot on the beauty blender to blend it in to your skin so it doesn't look like its caked on.

I find that it is very oil so you must apply powder over the top to even it out. By the end of the day foundation had gotten slightly runny by my nose and became blotchy in places. So I wouldn't recommend wearing it on a a sunny hot day, the foundation will not stay.
