Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Stick Foundation Review

Overall alright product,better for using on touch ups than an actual foundation as it wouldn’t last long that way,I find even though it’s meant to stop shine you still get it very quickly,although it is decently cheap and available at most shops

I came across this on sale, so I decided to give it a try. The colour I bought is Ivory 115.

This is marketed as an “anti-shine stick” but it is basically a wind-up stick foundation. It comes in a black 9ml tube with a clear and black lid. The shade name and colour are clearly labelled on the lid.

The foundation itself is around the outside of the stick, with the paler, shine-control part on the inside. My skin is very dry, so I do not need any shine control, but I do like being able to apply foundation to my face directly from the stick.

The way I have been using this is to add extra coverage to my regular foundation. The stick format makes it perfect to dab on as a spot concealer, and it blends well with a foundation brush. It stays put all day too.

The only real drawback is that the shade 115, which I thought was their lightest, is still a little too dark for my complexion, but that is not too noticeable once it is blended out into my regular foundation.

Altogether this is a convenient product to use if you are looking for something to touch up your foundation, or give extra coverage to a problem area.

This foundation is a great idea, I like the fact it's in a stick it's quick and easy to apply, and handy to have in your handbag. You twist it up like a lipstick and it's has a light coloured circle in the middle of it (which is the shine free part) and the foundation shade on the outside, when applied to your skin it goes on really nice and smooth. I found it didn't last very long during the day before it goes patchy but I like to use it as a contour with another foundation of mine which worked out pretty good because the shade I got in the Fit Me Foundation Stick is slightly too light for me.

A very easy to use application, simply apply to your face and blend evenly with your fingertips. However i find its hard to keep all sides of the stick even as it goes down and wind up with a lop sided stick with more shine control than actual foundation left.

I left my trusty BB cream at home and was heading out after work for dinner so needed to grab something quickly and this looked good.

It comes in a simple wind up black tube with a clear lid. It is very easy to use. As I didn't have my beauty sponge or anything on me I swiped some on my face then spread it out. At first it looked fantastic but after a few hours my face looked terrible! So cakey and it had seperated badly around my nose.

I actually couldn't wait to take it off. So unfortunately this did not suit my skin well at all. Next time I won't forget my BB cream :-)

I picked this beauty up from the splashstore website. It has been years I have used stick foundations. I thought I would bring it back to see how well it works .

The packaging is very basic black tube . Comes with a clear lid. Consistency of this stick foundation is smooth. There’s no scent at all.

When I applied this stick foundation to my skin it spreads out evenly across my skin. I found it super easy to blend it out across my skin. I found it was very light coverage. It is buildable but can become cakey if over done.

Overall I was slightly disappointed with how long it lasted. I would have expected a few hours but only got one. Price wise it’s too expensive. Could be cheaper considering it lacks longevity.

I found this product was best for touch ups throughout the day/night if needed it doesn't give very good coverage for a foundation on its own very hard to blend

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.

Not being a fan of stick foundations in the first place set me up in the first place with a pre-determine outlook of this fit me shine free version.

However, it does have some good qualities and find it works well on other people's skin than my own, my combination skin couldn't agree in areas, with patches becoming a little shiny as the day wore on.

Application was pretty simple but blending in took a little time as the product wants to sink into the skin, so I would only use a damp sponge to dab this foundation on, using a brush just left it very streaky and patchy looking.

The colour options are pretty generous and I was easily able to find the shade to suit myself.

It just wasn't that impressive to me and I have only used it twice and left it alone ever since.

This foundation just simply wasn't good to me. Initially it blended out nicely with a RT buffing brush, and the finish was quite pretty despite that even with a powder over top it didn't seem to dry.

Within an hour it had separated terribly on my nose/forehead (I do not have oily skin either) and was sliding around my face. It also transferred like crazy, considering the amount that made it's way all over my jacket collar I'm surprised there was any left on my face. Sadly this foundation didn't come off of my clothing as easily as it did my face :( This product is just one big miss for me, I got rid of it after a couple of uses.
