Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Pore Foundation Review

I love the texture and consistency of this foundation. It has medium to high coverage, is easily blendable and buildable. It is long-lasting and gives a lovely finish to the skin. I like a matte finish but not "chalky", and this foundation delivers on that. I do have a naturally oily t-zone, so need touch up around there after a good few hours, but this is not something I expect a foundation to help treat. The great thing is that when I do start getting oily, the foundation doesn't seperate, my skin just starts to shine, which I'm not a fan of, so the foundation in itself does a great job. My only gripe is that there isn't a pump on the bottle.

I've always loved Maybelline products so thought it was about time to try their foundation line. Pleasantly surprised with the Fit Me Matte + Pore Foundation. I used the online tools to colour match which was super helpful. Not too heavy and easy to build coverage and lasts well all day. Downside, had a little more shine than I had hoped for from a Matte foundation but with a little powder it stands up really well especially for the price.

Estee Lauder double wear has always been my favorite but felt as I got older it was to thick so needed a lighter more natural option. Did loads of research first and love those scientific studies that compare expensive and less expensive brands. Turns out that this cost effective foundation is highly recommended so gave it a go. It's now my every day one, love how it's really light and easy to apply, it does help to reduce pore visibility as it claims. Really like the product and especially the price ... just goes to show that great products don't always come with a high price.

I have recently learned from a BR pro lovely that my skin is not dry and sensitive like I previously was told. It's combination and can be quite oily in the T Zone area. I previously used the Fit Me dewy finish because I thought the shining dewy look was better for my dry skin. But little did I know that although in places it looked good in the oily areas it made it even oilier.

When I changed my skin care range it only made sense to get the correct foundation to compliment the new skin care regime I had started. Now the Fit Me range didn't float my boat before but I was hoping that this would change my mind on it completely.

I have the shade Natural Beige 220 which is slightly darker than the last one I bought. I am guessing that my skin tone changed once summer came around and I have been kissed by the sun. The formula is quite a lot thinner than I am used to with other foundations. It made it feel like it wouldn't give me the coverage I craved from it. I pressed ahead nonetheless.

I used a RT foundation brush to apply the foundation to get the most flawless look I possibly can and to get in to all the lines and crevices. I am most excited about the 'poreless' element it promised. I have some visible pores on my nose and would love nothing more than to airbrush them out with foundation.

I tend to stipple the foundation on my face concentrating on my pore-ful areas and behold they are airbrushed away with the rest of my blemishes. The coverage is average but it works for my need of non-caking face and coverage of the most importants which is the pores and blemishes. It is very light and airy which makes me feel like I am not choking my skin with product.

I do find that wearing it on a hot day can mean that it will not go the mile and will need to be re-touched. I tend to wear a finishing powder over the top to help set the foundation and to prolong the wear time which works well. I can go six hours without a re-touch on a hot day which is a winner for me at the cheap price. I am sold on this and my skin looks amazing and doesn't appear dry which is what I was afraid of it doing, My oily T Zone is not as oily as it used to be and I am saving over $20 by buying this brand rather than the usual one I got. I am sold on this and will be buying it again.

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.

After reading all the fuss about the original Fit Me foundation, I decided to give the matte and pore-less version a try. And I love it! I love the medium-full coverage, I love the way it sits on my skin and bigger pores, and I love how it covers my acne.The only thing is the colour choice with Maybelline is hit or miss when it comes to their lighter shade, I feel I'm in between Ivory and Classic Ivory.

This foundation is reliable; it gives you a buildable coverage that conceals redness and the old acne bump. I found it true to its Matte and Poreless name for the most part, yet be prepared to not stay as matte as the day goes on.
