Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder Review

I brought this powder expecting it to compliment my fit me foundation well, and work as a setting powder. This definitely did not live up to my expectations, as the resulting look was exceptionally cakey. It did nothing to increase how long my make up lasted, and I found at the end of the day when I came home, I might as well have not been wearing any make up at all. I am glad that I purchased this in a sale online, as the colour was much lighter than expected, two-three shades lighter than the corresponding liquid foundation. So disappointed in this product.

This powder is good if you have run out of your favourite stuff. I use as a back up. Its not that great coverage but it does an okay job to be able to leave the house lol!

It is cheap which is very good as I'm a student and can't afford expensive powders! I think it is good although not good when you want to cover up blemishes (not very good coverage) as it is very light. Only good for casual daily use

I love this powder,I always use this one Hof the Rommel stay matte powder to set my foundation,it comes in a black case with a compartment for a powder puff,the one Maybelline provides you need to throw away because it's no good to try and use it,I have the shade 135 and I dust my powder brush over the pressed powder then dab over my foundation is small dabbing motions,this sets the foundation without moving it,I find if you brush the powder over your face,to set your foundation this moves your foundation you are trying to set,the dabbing motion is the best way.if you are in a hurry and just want to wear the powder,dust your brush over the product,tap off any excess then brush over your face in a light sweeping motion,this way will give you enough coverage to feel comfortable going out,it leaves your face matte and it's my holy grail powder,there are many shades and I would recomend it to others

Great product, not as long lasting as I would like but does do the job. Fit Me Foundation and this product do NOT go together like I would have thought and would not recommend using in conjunction..the result is cakey looking, terrible feeling skin. With less oily foundations, this powder does work well.

This does give off a natural, matte finish and I love it! I brought three of these at the makeup sale two years ago and I'm on the last one! Its lasted so long and i would say I put makeup on at least three times a week!! The staying power of this is okay, considering i always am touching my face (putting my hands on my cheeks etc...) and for the price you cant really go wrong! I previously was using Rimmels stay matte powder and that was pretty similar to this as well!

Although it is a good, affordable price it offered little to no coverage. It was very light and would be good as a quick chuck on

I am now on my fourth lot of this in shade 210. For the price, the quality and quantity, I can't complain. Well maybe one little thing: The sponge blender that comes with it, breaks on me everytime, half way through the product :/ But I can deal with that. It goes on nicely, and the end result is so natural (I think this could be because its not a full coverage type of powder). I have it in foundation too but it is nowhere near as good as the powder and the two go horribly together. I recommend this for sure though!

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.

This product is pretty good especially for how readily available it is, there are very similar alternatives out there which last a bit longer but this is really good for everyday use or for when you're not wanting to use your high end products
