Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Stick Foundation

I love the finish of this foundation but when my skin is too dry, it clings onto dry patches which is really annoying. I love how it doesn't have any SPF in it (or so I assume since it doesn't say anywhere on the foundation that it has SPF) and is great for flash photography.

Tips: If you have dry skin, be sure to moisturize your face first before using this product!

And it's nicely priced

Love This For Different Reasons

I actually use this product as a cream contour in the shade 330 toffee and I absolutely love it! I literally put 1 line on my cheeks forehead and nose and buff it out with my contour brush and it blends seamlessly. I definitely prefer using this rather than a powder because it blends out so much better. I dont know how well this works as a foundation but it has definitely become an essential in my kit.

Tips: A little goes a long way with this. 1 thin stripe is all you need to blend out the perfect contour.

Would purchase Again

Bought this item a little while ago. It glides on smoothly and is easy to blend. I really like how they have a coordinating powder that goes with it. I don't wear much foundation but if I'm going out on a friday night this is my go to face product.

Tips: I use a lighter powder over the top so it blends the shade in with my face a bit better

A great top up item

I grabbed this on my travels to australia- Its compact size meant that i could throw it into a clutch for night out touch ups. I found that if i overheated slightly , it would start to wear off pretty darn quicky and went all shiny. Not great when your looking for a matte finish. I found it worked better as a concealer than a foundation, the coverage was also quite light. I tried to build it up , which then caused it to suddenly look cakey.

I like

I bought this in shade 115 Ivory,which I think is the lightest shade out & it really suits my skin tone which is great. I apply directly onto my skin like war paint then blend it in with my fingers. I have found that this is the best way for me. It feels creamy when you apply it to your face, then almost powdery when you rub it in. It is nice to wear and it barely feels like you have anything on. This is a light coverage foundation and evens out my skin tone for when I just need to run into town & do some errands etc, but if I'm going out all day I would definitely want to apply something else over top to provide more coverage. As someone with combo-oily skin I think this foundation stays on for a decent length of time before it starts to melt off and for the price, does quite a good job. I will definitely be re-purchasing this product & might give some of the other products in this range a go as well & see how they perform together.

Do sticks still work with primer? I was worried the firmer consistency might move the primer around too much.

Super helpful, thank you! I've been wanting to try this but been a little apprehensive so it's great to know that it performs well.

After reading this review, I'd love to give this a go - have never tried stick foundation, I've heard mixed reviews about it but since it states it'll keep you matte I'm keen to check it out :) thanks Deelooc23.

This is really helpful - I've been thinking about buying their concealer as I've heard good things about it and it isn't too pricey, their foundation might be good to look into as well - especially if it promises to keep you matte!

Sounds like the foundation to have when you're in a rush or for weekend coverage. Thanks for mentioning the amount of coverage you get.

Double Use Product?

I use this foundation as a cream contour, I have the foundation in my face shade also as I wanted to try it as an all over foundation, but I wasn't impressed, I have dry skin and I found that it was quite oily looking, it went patchy throughout the day, that never happens for me, and I do prefer a full coverage foundation over light. But, for a cream contour this foundation is great! Its super blendable and it just gives that natural contoured look without being muddy and patchy. Watch Nicole Guerriero's tutorial on cream contour and she uses this product!

Cover me up

I have incredibly oily skin and have been searching for the perfect matt foundation for a long time. This one fits at the top of my list so far.

It is so easy to apply. Just swipe the stick over your face and blend in. Simple. No wasted product, no mess, its perfect. It leaves you with a beautiful matt finish and suprisingly lasts the whole day. My only dislike is that it it doesn't provide me with enough coverage (this might be because im no makeup artist and may not be applying enough).

Pricing is your standard Maybelline prices. If i remember rightly it cost be about $23. Not too over the top but affordable.

Pleasantly surprised with this wee gem.

I saw this coming up in the BR trials, and I desperately wanted to try it; however I didn't fit the age group... so I went and brought one, just to see what they were like.

I'm a BB and light liquid foundation kinda girl, so I wan't expecting much from this wee stick. I expected to look like a greasy clown to be honest.

I tried it in the weekend so I could take my time and wash it off without anyone seeing me if it looked awful..... Maybelline I LOVE your wee 'FIT me' stick !

I chose shade 120 Classic Ivory which is probably a touch on the pale side for me, however as winter progresses it will probably suit me better.

I applied after my usual cleanse, tone, serum & moisturise routine and let everything soak in before applying. I put a swipe on each cheek and blended with my fingertips, then added a couple more dabs for complete cover. I would have to say I love the anti shine core; it blended nicely and looked quite good despite my amateur attempts.

I swished a little bit of bronzer over the top as I looked a little pale but I really like this foundation.

Good sized tube, perfect for handbag or spongebag and I think this will last quite a while. Great value for money and I will repurchase when it runs out. I may try a different shade and see if a slightly darker one reduces the need for bronzer. Felt nice on, not at all cakey; not scented either, not that scents bother my skin.

Tips: The good old Warehouse had these on promotion for under $20 so was pleased with my buy.

So quick to apply!

I actually really enjoyed using this foundation. The stick packaging makes it super easy to evenly spread the colour onto your face. When blending the colour out with my fingers it felt like a soft powder on my skin. I think that this gives a nice and natural medium coverage. I was also really impressed with the colour range offered. I am a little paler than NC15 and I found that the colour 110 was a great match for me.

Tips: Make sure your face is well exfoliated and moisturised first as the foundation will cling to dry patches.
