Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder Review

I got this on a whim during a sale. Why not try other powders, I thought. Perhaps there'd be one better than my fresh and flawless? Nope I was wrong.

I used it to touch up my face right after I got it and it did very little for me. It couldn't get the oils under control the way I need a powder to and it actually made my skin look worse as it was shimmery somehow. Following that I attempted to use it in several different ways but all of them made my skin look awful. I wouldn't repurchase this again but it looks to be a good option for those with normal skin.

If you are searching for a HG pressed powder MACs Studio Fix pressed powder is they way to go, but if you're not willing to splurge and are looking for a cheaper alternative to set your foundation and remove shine then I would go with Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder.... This press powder leaves your foundation looking cakey and keeps shine away for only around 30 minutes, and I have normal to dry skin! If you put any setting sprays over this powder, even something as light at MAC Fix+ it makes your foundation separate.

I literally have nothing to say about this product, because I swear it does NOTHING. I found myself packing it on like crazy just to see if it would make any difference to my skin, but nope. It's sad because I love the Fit Me foundation, and I thought if it was as good as the foundation, I would have a perfect little duo. Nope, not the case.

For the price I would definitely not purchase it again, when there are other powders (rimmel Stay matte) that are much cheaper and work much better. I'm sorry Maybelline, I usually love everything else you do, but I just could not love this powder.

Much like it's foundation partner, this line of make up was a serious let down. On my budget and the way I was raised we don't generally replace things until they're used up so after buying the foundation and finding it horribly impossible to work with I thought I might try it with the powder see if that balances it out. How wrong I was! After applying the powder I found my face to not only look but also feel caked in make up. Patchy and quite frankly unsuitable for oily skin. I will never buy this again it made everything so much worse and almost embarrassing to face the world in.

I brought this product one day after running out of powder. I have never been a big fan of this brand but was at the supermarket and gave it ago. I found it settled really cakey on my skin and started to wear off by mid morning. It is well priced and would be more suited to the teen age group who are just starting out with makeup. I do think the having the numbers for skin tones is great - means once you know which one you are you can get all you need in that tone without having to try them all first!

Wasn't too keen on this powder. It didn't seem to do much at all. In fact I could keep applying and applying and barely notice any Difference over top of my foundation. I like a powder with more coverage which this doesn't have at all.

I brought this powder expecting it to compliment my fit me foundation well, and work as a setting powder. This definitely did not live up to my expectations, as the resulting look was exceptionally cakey. It did nothing to increase how long my make up lasted, and I found at the end of the day when I came home, I might as well have not been wearing any make up at all. I am glad that I purchased this in a sale online, as the colour was much lighter than expected, two-three shades lighter than the corresponding liquid foundation. So disappointed in this product.

I usually find it difficult to find darker colours at the drugstore so was stoked to find a shade that "fit me" ;) but unfortunately this stuff has little or no oil control. So my face is an oil slick in an hour or two.I can only use this when I have a full face of makeup - oil controlling primer, foundation and some setting powder over the fit me powder because that is the only way it will remain matte on me. Such a shame because I love the colour range and the packaging.
