Not so impressed

Yes this product worked as a foundation. However, I found it to be blotchy and not long lasting. I would definitely not recommend this product for anyone with oily skin as this is just going to slide around on your face. If you're looking for a matte foundation, don't bother with this one :)

Tips: If you're looking for a matte foundation, don't bother with this one :)

Loved it

This foundation was amazing, it had so many positive aspects. It went on smoothly, didn't look heavy but still had great coverage, it lasted all day and on top of that smelt great. I loved this product and it was affordable which is always great. The only problem I had with this is that I couldn't find a REALLY light shade which I need but that might just be the colour options in the particular store I bought it in. The shade I used worked though as I used it in the summer time where I'm more tanned anyway.

Super Comfortable

I loved this foundation - I tried the old formula, the new dewey and matte formulations also. They all worked pretty well on my skin, but did tend to break up around my nose. Felt like I was wearing nothing, feels great on the skin. Applies evenly, looks nice and natural and lasts reasonably well for a cheaper foundation. 120 was a bit dark and I found the 115 quite hard to come by. Coupled with the fitme power, this is dream.

Man I love that Fitme power. Man.

Tips: Use a primer on your oily bits, around the nose, T-Zone. Avoid if you have a cold, it transfers really badly if you're blowing your nose a lot.

Not a fan at all.

Bought this from the supermarket as i couldn't get to farmers in time to get my usual foundation.

On applying the product it went on well a tad oily for my liking but was okay. The colour was a bit dark but nothing a lighter powder couldn't fix.

The problem i had was with lasting.. The coverage wasn't great and it product just didn't last on my face. I found that it went patchy in and weird coloured in places and just left me desperate for my usual foundation.

I wouldn't recommend this product personally, But hey each to their own i say.

Perfect shade but not long lasting

When I first tried the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation (Dewy and Smooth) in 310 Sun Beige, I was amazed at how well the shade fit my skin. I often find foundation shades to be either too light or too dark for my skin tone, so it was a joy to have discovered this foundation. It was easy to apply, either with a brush, blender sponge or with my fingers. It has a pleasant scent, and it was nice to have the SPF protection. Initially, I absolutely loved this foundation. The medium coverage evened out my skin tone without making me looked like I had heavy makeup on as the shade I had completely blends in with my skin tone. True to its name, it gave my skin a dewy finish without appearing shiny.

However, I soon noticed that the foundation does not last for long (probably 3-4 hours), and does not seem to settle onto my face. I found out about this when I hugged a friend who had a white top on, and she ended with patches of my foundation on her top! I also noticed my foundation sliding off when I blow my nose. I tried setting my foundation with translucent powder, but it ended up showing my wrinkles and made my face appeared cakey. It was not a look I favour!

I still use this foundation from time to time, as the shade is an absolute dream, but am very conscious about hugging people if I have this foundation on!

Tips: Great for beginners to makeup. Beware of the foundation sliding off onto clothing (yourself and others!).

Good for the price!

This is my go to foundation when my bank says no make up! It's cheap and affordable! While also providing good coverage at the beginning. However by the middle of the day I do find my make ups gone very patchy.

Tips: Use with fit me powder to stop patchiness

Decent product

I found that this product worked perfectly on me. It was long wearing and didn't feel cakey. It was a decent foundation.

Amazing drug store foundation

Amazing product for a drug store foundation lasts great on the skin but can wear if on skin for too long (6-8hrs I find on me) but for everyday wear or short outtings, amazing product

Gives light, dewy coverage

I bought this foundation in the dewy+smooth version from an online discount store. I don't think I've ever tried the original fit me before but I was definitely keen to give this a go when I saw they had a specific dry skin formula.

Packaging wise, I think this looks nice with it's glass bottle and black cap. You can easily see how much foundation is left and which colour it is. I hate, hate the open top though. I really wish this had a pump. When it's new, you usually end up pouring way too much out. I only have about 1/4 left so it's not such a big deal now but mine is all messy at the opening which I dislike.

I have this in the shade 130 buff beige. It's a little orange and maybe a touch too dark but it's workable. I think the next colour down from this would actually be too light for me. I wish there was a bit more of a shade range, although this does say it has 18 shades in the range so I'm probably just being too fussy. I don't think this looks too odd on my skin anyway. This also has a spf 18 which I like. It says octinoxate sunscreen, I actually have no idea what that means at all but I am happy to have sunscreen included.

For me, this gives a light coverage. I do use a sponge as for my dry skin, I feel it applies foundation best. I haven't tried it out with a brush yet but you could possibly get a medium coverage with one. I do think this could be layered though to get more coverage as well. This really does give a dewy finish. And that dewy look lasts all day. I feel like if you had oily skin, you would hate this so much but as I have dry skin, it really gives me the look that I want. It doesn't cling to my dry patches either!

Wear time is good, I don't powder either which would probably make it last longer. I still get a good 8 hours of wear before it comes off. It can wear off quite unevenly if I get sweaty or touch my face though but I think that happens with most foundations.

I think I would pick this up again. The open bottle puts me off a lot but the actual foundation is nice. I do have seriously dry skin and generally have trouble finding a foundation that doesn't accentuate that dryness for me. If you have trouble too, I'd really recommend giving this one a go.
