Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Pore Foundation Review

I was recommended this product by a friend who has oily skin. I have dry/combination skin, however I wanted a cheaper full coverage foundation for everyday that would not clog more pores. It definitely does what it says. It made my skin matte and hid pores and texture, it does not make me break out. However, depending on what powder I use, depends on the overall finish of the product. I purchased the fit me powder, however it was not the matte and poreless version. I actually think that one would of looked worse. This combination causes creases where expression lines are, separates throughout the day, and looks dry. As it is winter, this foundation emphasises my dryness, even though I use a lot of hydrating moisturiser underneath. It provides a medium coverage, unless I use a lot of product and take time to build it up. It does fade slightly throughout the day around the lower cheek area as well. I do think this is a good product, I just think it is definitely more suited to oily or normal skin individuals.

I found this maybelline foundation to be a good everyday foundation, its comfortable to wear and does look great on . Its not too heavey and doesnt go cakey. It is reasonably matt to start with but towards the end of the day a bit of shine does peek through. I found it easy to blend with a sponge and didnt go patchy. The main downfall is just the packaging, a pump on the bottle would make it much easier to get out the product and keep the rest of the bottle clean and hygienic.

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!

Well this one turned out to be the nicest cheap foundation that i've used in a long time..

This foundation stays matte as it promises (and i'm well prone to getting a sheen on), and it definitely minimizes the appearance of my huge pores. It's very blendable and I love how smooth and clean my skin looks with it on.

There are howevere a couple of minor down-falls that I find with this product, for one it's very runny and the opening of the bottle is quite large, so you need to be careful not to pour out too much. The other thing is that I notice quite a lot of transfer with anything that my face comes into contact with, regardless of how much setting powder and spray that I use.

Definitely recommend this foundation as a cheaper option, it's not perfect but It's quite good for the price.

This foundation can look very beautiful on the skin, even though it is a matte foundation, it’s not too matte where it looks powdery. The packaging can be pretty annoying as it doesn’t have a pump. The foundation is a medium coverage but it buildable. It can oxidise on the skin a bit and I don’t suggest this foundation if you have super dry skin because I feel like it can cling to dry skin if you are not careful. Also the colour selection isn’t great. It sounds like there is heaps of cons in the reviews but it is a very beautiful foundation.

Love the finish and how it wears but I can never find the right undertone for me. It's always either too yellow or too pink, I can never find anything more neutral.

But. It is a great drugstore foundation. It's a medium buildable coverage and wears pretty well throughout the day without clinging too much to my dry patches. Great product for the price.

This is one of the two Maybelline foundations I use (the other is Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Dewy and Smooth). This gives adequate coverage but I find it doesn't last a day for me. The one thing I would use the other Maybelline Fit Me Foundation over this one is because this one has no SPF rating).

I love to use this foundation during the day when I dont want a heavy full coverage feeling on my face, lasts great during the day and light weight.
