Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Pore Foundation Review

I picked this up a little while ago because it was on sale and I had heard lots of good things about it and seen so many girls raving about it on MUO. This has quickly become my every day foundation (after swapping from NARS sheer glow). I was so suprised that I loved the matte finish after using dewy foundations for so long. I was blown away with the coverage of this foundation and how little product I needed to apply. The colour is pretty much spot on for me too. The only thing I would say is that this isn't poreless (not for me anyway). This is also really easy to build up, apply it with a beauty blender for a sheerer coverage, or with a brush for a fuller coverage. I would preferr a pump on the top rather than the current lid (having to pour product out), but for the price I can't really complain! I'll be repurchasing this for sure.

Maybelline Matte + Poreless Foundation has the best coverage. Every morning I put my face on I fall more and more in love with this foundation. The coverage over my redness is outstanding! I don't use a primer, only moisturise. It stays on all day and it does not cause me to have any break outs.

I apply it a little over over my jaw line and use a translucent powder to help blend it out to look completely natural. I have sensitive skin and it doesn't dry it out or become oily or patchy like others I have used in the past.

If you want full coverage absolutely have this in your makeup bag. It's my mask, my transformation every morning and my holy grail.

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.

I wasn't expecting too much on this product because I have tried other foundations with the same price but the effect weren't great. This one is different. It was very easy to apply with any tools. It is also buildable so if you're not contented with the 1st layer, you can always add another layer. It is comfortable on my skin. After 6 hours, I oiled up but the foundation was still great after blotting. It's very humid in the place where I'm at so I already expected that. The only part where the foundation was ruined were on the sides of my nose and under my lips. Check my full review @ http://www.diaryofaiko.com/2018/02/review-maybelline-new-york-fit-me-matte.html

I love this stuff! Great Matt coverage which is buildable so you can have a lighter coverage for day but more coverage for going out looks. Stays pretty matt for a long day at work but not super convinced it makes me look poreless. I was initially hesitant to buy because I hate not being able to shade test and can’t find anywhere with maybelline testers but when I saw it on sale for 40% off at supermarket thought I’d give it a try in the palest shade. Perfect match! The only thing I hate is the bottle I really wish it had a pump applicator not just pour! Will still buy again!

I'm pale. Quite pale and growing up the only foundation available to me was Revlon Colorstay in Ivory. But huzzah there is way more shade range these days thanks to the internet. As NZ is often overlooked in the full shade ranges.

Enter Maybelline M&P. I had shade 110 - the fairest available in NZ. It was OK, but I did sometimes wonder if it was too dark. But thanks to Arna Alayne on YouTube I became aware of shade 102.... ooooooh

It took hours to find an online store that would ship to NZ and a combination of Amazon and YouShop and I have two bottles of $5.50USD in shade 102. (which prob all up cost me like $40NZD ....)

Anyway, I find this foundation is close to the flawless porcelain finish that I desire, and matched with a high quality powder looks great. It is not full coverage but pretty good. I'm a normal skin type - was oily younger and getting dryer with age.

I successfully use either brush or sponge to apply.

I love this foundation. It's one of few foundations that don't break me out, and they have a good amount of shades available. It leaves a dewy finish so I often use a powder over top. It's definitely full coverage and easy to blend in.

Hands down the best ever foundation for my giant swimming pool pores and greasy skin.

Unfortunately their shade range could do better but that’s my only downfall on this foundation.

I mix porcelain 110 and classic ivory 120 to make the perfect shade for my pale skin.

I really struggle with finding something that A: sticks on throughout the day and B: doesn’t show up my pores and lines even worse! Making my really paranoid.

I don’t even use a primer, I can’t find one that doesn’t look cakey when you have 39 mins in the morning before work.

I only apply with a real techniques sponge and I do make sure I’m all moisturised first hand. Otherwise it can be drying. Yes even with greasy as skin mine can still weirdly enough , dry out.

Even at 5pm my foundation still looks good! I do not add powder overtop, I find I only need one coat. And I’m good to go.

This foundation can oxidise but finding the right shade makes it work for me

This has always been one of my go to foundations, I use #220 soft beige. It has a great buildable coverage that doesn't look cakey and lasts throughout the whole day with maybe one touch up, if really needed. It would be so handy if they'd add a pump so you didn't have to pour out so much product and have control over how much you want to use!

I’m a sucker for a matte finish. I absolutely love this foundation. I love how it minimizes pores too. The finish is beautiful.

I apply this with my foundation brush and buff it in. It’s a great formula to work with with good coverage too.

There are tons of shades to choose from so its easy to find the right one for your skin tone, it’s affordable and easy to find in shops.

This has been my go to foundation for a while now and it hasn’t let me down
