not impressed

i first used this when my friend raved about it and thought i should give it a go. i found it much to runny and difficult to use. it made my skin look very shiny and oily and adding powder over top made my make up look caked on. i would not recommend this product to anyone it may be a cheaper option but it is more worth it to pay more and get a decent foundation. I also found the bottle was hard to use as when you are getting low its hard to get out and often it would come out to fast and you end up wasting your makeup.

Tips: Don't use, especially if you have oily skin

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

I had heard good things about this from my friend, so I decided to pick it up in Ivory. However this foundation did not meet my expectations. The foundation was way to dark for me, even though it was the lightest available shade. Plus the coverage isn't that great. It seems to just fade away completely if I try to blend it. Not made for people with pale skin. But if you have darker skin you might be able to make this work.

Fit me foundation

This foundation claims it has new shades formulate for women of colour, which SHOULD translate to some with yellow tones that STAY yellow. Unfortunately this foundation oxidised on me within 20 minutes to a rather unpleasant reddish colour that looked very unnatural.

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Tried this a few days ago as i had ran out of my everyday foundation and needed something i already owned. i have oily skin after a few hours and even with primer and powder it still slipped off + the colour i had was just a tad too dark. Probably wont be buying again

Slipped of like a waterslide

I got this at my local KMart for $9 so why not give it a go, but once buying this and trying again I could not be more dissapointed. I have a combo olive skin with quite strong yellow undertones, I couldn't get the foundation to sit properly no matter what I tried, matte powder, blotting paper, primer, no primer and also setting spray. It just slipped off uncontrollably and made my skin super sticky which for me is a big no no. Also left my skin super shiny even after mattifying powder on my combo skin which can also slide more to the dry side.

The product consistency made it easy to blend and left an okay coverage which did not last very long. As for the colour, it definitely did have the yellow undertones I love, however the quality let it down and has been sitting in my draw for the last 3 months and I would only ever use it in desperate times.

Didn't fit my dry skin

This foundation is marketed towards dry skin, they've now re-branded it as the 'Dewy & Smooth' Fit Me which clearly supports that it is aimed at dry skin. I have dry skin and could not make this work for the life of me.

It has a runny formula with quite a light coverage, which I don't mind at all. I was hoping it would be similar to a glowy BB cream on the skin and it did look nice and dewy when first applied but an hour later it would start going down hill. It would break up on my skin, start looking patchy and every single shade oxidised and turned super orange (for reasons unknown I purchased 4 different shades at a big bucket sale, so I had a few to test).

The worst part of all was that I would already be looking like an orange blotchy mess, but it then slapped on the grease! It takes a lot for me to look oily, but this foundation managed it every single time, primer or no primer, powder or no powder, I was shining from every pore on my face. I held on to these foundations for a year, pulling them out every now and then with renewed hope, but I recently gave up the fight! There's no helping this foundation mixed with my face.

Tips: Go for the Matte & Poreless version, it's light years better!

Not fitting at all!

I needed a cheaper alternative so I was matched to my perfect shade of Maybelline Fit Me and opted for the dewy option. I have dry flaky skin so I prefer to have a dewy appearance. I find that the dewy look makes my skin appear as it glows and definitely less dry. The bottle actually annoys me more than it should. It has no pump to dispel the foundation so I have to make a mess by tipping it on to my hand. The formula is rather thin for my liking so it runs off my hand easily when I am applying.

I apply mine with the RT foundation brush which gets in to the crevices best for me. I wipe my palms over my entire face to get rid of brush marks. The coverage is mediocre at best. It promised full coverage but it was medium! I found myself having to apply concealer just to get the best coverage possible.

Three hours in and my skin feels very dry! I check my face and all I see is patches of foundation that have clung to my dry patches! I see a powdery residue that is supposed to be a dewy appearance. I thought this maybe the way I applied it so used it with primer and with a finishing powder but still the same result every time. There was no dewy glow at all just a dull powder like look.

By the time lunch time comes around I find myself having to reapply some foundation to maintain the coverage. It doesn't have much stay power even with loose powder. I was assured that this would be the best alternative to my normal foundation but really all it did was make my skin worse. I spent two weeks nursing it back to semi-moisturised. As a result of using this I broke out in to areas of acne. My skin hadn't ever reacted to a foundation like that.

I am highly disappointed in this product. I have seen and heard many great things but I am sorry to say that it failed to impress me. It left me in worse shape than before so I think I would rather spend the extra $20 and get my holy grail. Thanks but no thanks!

Tips: Use a loose powder over the top to prolong the stay power. This is perhaps better suited for someone with oily skin despite the dewy finish.

This difintley was a miss for me

Unfortunately my skin didn't like this as much, I have very dry skin and a lot of frock Les so I found it was very sheer with coverage next to none, but it's very affordable and would be good for a everyday wear if your wanting to even your skin tone and not be to heavy.

Tips: Mix this product with a bn cream for abit more coverage 50/50

Cheap & Nasty

Not a fan, I have combo/oily skin and it just slides off even with using a primer & setting powder. The smallest rub with you hand will take it off. Wouldn’t buy again.. also the Ivory colour is VERY warm! Would love to see some more cooler tones

not for me

I thought the packaging for this was quite nice and that's why I purchased it and it was a decent price. I have found that this foundation has a different type of formula and quite a strange color after applying it to your face. I have found that this foundation makes my face look Orange/brown.
