Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Pore Foundation Review

This foundation for me feels heavy on your face even though it’s only a med coverage, I also got super oily after a couple of hours of having it on even though it’s a Matte finish,I wouldn’t say it does what it states it does although it has been About 10 years since I’ve actually used it,this was back in the day where you have zero idea on what your really doing with any type of makeup,so I might try this again (mainly because it’s cheap and you can get it anywhere) and I’ll try to put minimal on and set it with a better brand of powder since it makes me oily anyway I doubt it would make it look to cakey on my face

I have dry skin, always have, but I was having no luck with foundations that were targeted at dry skin. Whilst in Hawaii early last year I saw this, it was cheap as chips so I thought I'd take the plunge and try something that's the polar opposite of what I normally go for. Boy am I glad I did!

It's a medium coverage foundation, feels super light on the skin and looks very much like skin. For me, the claims aren't necessarily true as it doesn't highlight my pores but it definitely doesn't hide them or leave porous areas looking 'poreless'. It also leaves more of a satin finish as opposed to matte, so your skin looks healthy and alive! And it doesn't cling to dry patches, hoorah!

The one annoying thing about this foundation is that it doesn't come with a pump. It's quite a runny formula so it can be a bit messy as a result. I find the best application method is with a beauty blender, or your fingers work surprisingly well if you're strapped for time. I initially picked up shade 115 which I realised was a little too pinky, so I've since picked up 110 and 120 to mix accordingly depending on whether I'm wearing fake tan etc. For reference, the shades that end in 5 are more pinky, and those that end in 0 are more yellow based.

I'm so close to finishing my 115 shade which says a lot as I can't remember the last time I actually finished a foundation. I wear it most days to work, and any time I need to know that my makeup will last the day and not look cakey and worn out at the end of it. It's just an awesome foundation!

I used and loved the sister product, Dewy and Smooth so thought I would try this to see how it compares to Double Wear.

The colours are great and a huge selection compared to other brands. Consistency wise its a little harder to blend than the Dewy and Smooth, however it does have a mattifying affect so probably partyly why. I do like the finish, however on my forehead it just looks caked on and flaky, my skin must be too dry to use this (it does say for oilier skin, which my T-Zone is).

I'm keeping this one for summer when my skin is oiler and I need a matte foundation so I dont look super shiny and hopefully the finish will be better. So for now, back to my preferred Dewy and Smooth!

I bought this foundation at one of the makeup sales as I had been looking at it for a while and wanted a cheap everyday foundation. I found the colours for lighter skinned ladies are either too grey or too pink. I went for the more grey option as my skin is already quite pink but it still wasn't quite the right colour (maybe I need to try a different colour). I found the coverage was medium which is good for everyday wear for me but I would choose a more high coverage foundation for the weekend. It is a fairly matte formula but I still use a light powder as my skin can be quite oily towards the end of the day. I will mix with another foundation to use the bottle but probably wouldn't purchase again.

This foundation is good, but I don't think it really lives to the hype. It has good coverage and stays matte for at least half a day (i have oily skin). But the package is so messy, it's a twist cap jar kind of bottle with no pump so it's always a hassle to get the foundation out. The foundation definitely oxidises so do be careful with that. It fills my pores in ok and I can understand why it's so popular.

I picked this up a few months ago as I was curious with the matte formula. I've tried the original Fit Me foundation years ago and although I liked it then, it wasn't the best for my oily skin.

This Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation is so much better for me. The finish is not super matte but it keeps the oil at bay. It's medium coverage but it's buildable and it's not cakey. If I really need my foundation to last all day, I mix this with another favourite foundation of mine (Estee Lauder Double Wear) and it doesn't budge and has a great finish that lasts all day.

I apply this with a beauty blender and set with a face powder. Although I prefer lighter foundations to wear to work, I sometimes use this because it has good coverage but it doesn't feel heavy on the skin.

I ran out of my usual foundation during lockdown so I decided to try this one out which I nabbed at such a good price online from the brand outlet.I have fair skin with blue eyes so I chose number 120 which is classic ivory to suit pale skin.I found this colour a bit too dark for my liking but after mixing with my moisturiser it toned the colour down beautifully.I like how the foundation sat on my skin and did not make my pores stand out but I am still undecided whether this is the right foundation for me.It doesn't feel heavy on my skin and mixes well with my moisturiser plus I have seen less shine so for the price of this foundation I would probably buy it again as it is very affordable and applys really well.

I initially was not the biggest fan of this foundation. I at first found that this didnt sit right on my skin, and highlighted my large pores. After some experimentation however this foundation has certainly grown on me. I find that you need a well hydrated base, and a good pore filling primer. With these steps in place this foundation then provides a really pretty matte medium/full coverage, which I find lasts all day without looking cakey or shiny.

I have also used this in combination with a pump of stila illuminating foundation to give a more satin finish- this takes down the coverage, but makes the finish a little more wearable for day makeup. Gorgeous foundation!

For someone with very oily skin and acne prone skin I was pleasantly happy! I have very oily skin and this was an amazing foundation for my skin type as well as having acne prone skin which means my skin breaks out quite easily and to basically anything. This kept my face neutral and quite matte throughout the day. When I first applied it, it was quite matte and definitely looked like I had foundation on but after wearing it for awhile, it started to set and seem a bit more natural - not sure if it was because of the oils from my face coming through or what but it definitely looked really nice. I use a sponge to apply this and the finish is just great. I haven't used it with a brush yet but I don't think there would be an issue since it blends quite well and doesn't dry down immediately. It does oxidise a bit however so I would recommend swatching it in person first on just buy a shade lower.
