| Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation |
I've never tried the original Maybelline Fit Me foundation as I've heard that it was labelled by many as a horrible foundation but some people still loved it. The new Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation was recently released in Australia (as we are always the last ones to receive anything) and I decided to pick it up while it was on sale at my local supermarket.
On their website, it claims to be an ' ultra-lightweight foundation
that contains micro-powders that absorb oil for a matte and poreless-looking finish. Unique formula goes beyond matching just skin tone and also matches the texture of normal to oily skin for the ultimate natural fit. Dermatologist and allergy tested, this mattifying foundation does not clog pores and is oil-free'
There are currently 24 shades available in the US and only 6 shades available in Australia. The lightest shade in the range is 110 (Porcelain) and the darkest shade is 360 (Mocha).
I was quite intrigued by the idea of a foundation that matches to your skin tone, but the only problem with foundations for me is that I have very oily skin - usually any foundation that claims to be matte doesn't seem to work on me and within a few hours I will need touch up by applying more powder which makes my face very cakey. I am always on the hunt for a 'holy grail' foundation.
I have two shades, 120 (Classic Ivory) and 220 (Natural Beige). I find that Natural Beige is too dark for me at this stage since we are heading into winter in Australia, and Classic Ivory is a little too light so mixing these two works perfectly to match my skin tone.
The formula of this foundation is a liquid and it has light to medium coverage. It contains no SPF so it's best to wear some form of moisturiser with sunscreen underneath. The downside to this product is that it has no pump so you can't control the amount that comes out of the bottle unfortunately.
Now for the review;
So far I like it, I've been wearing it for the last two weeks and it does a good job of covering up my uneven skin tone but I find that I still need to use concealer as this foundation is not full coverage. I find that I still have to touch up after about 5 hours but it certainly does a good job at keeping my skin matte. Even though I have oily skin, this foundation does tend to accentuate my dry spots so I suggest moisturising your face before applying it.
So far I am impressed with this product. It's definitely a must try for all my oily girls out there! Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on this foundation?
