So I decided to step back into the drugstore foundation game, after being out for over 2 years. So I know I am late on it, but i decided to finally try the Maybelline Fit Me Matte +Poreless.
This foundation claims to be a tone & texture fitting foundation w/ a natural fit. This formula is for Normal to Oily Skin. I also says it contains blurring micro-powders that erase pores and absorb oil for a naturally matte and poreless-looking finish.
HOW IT LOOKS/FEELS/SMELLS:
Light creamy formula with no distinct scent.
WHY I LOVE IT:
Now I will won’t say that I loved it right off the bat, because I didn’t. The shade I picked up is Coconut 355. The first time applied it and wore it all day it felt like my skin ended up being really oily a lot sooner than some of my other foundations. Also the shade to me was a bust! See picture below. It was super ashy and kinda gray.
…Now I knew since that was 1st drugstore foundation in a long while, I decided 2 give it a 2nd chance. So, I went back to Walgreens and picked up a deeper shade, Mocha 360. I did end up mixing the 2 together to get my perfect match, but that is not a big deal to me. Now, once I found a shade combo that worked for me & found an application that worked, I was impressed.
I love this formulation because it provides a smooth, matte medium-full coverage look while still looking natural! This foundation is great for daily use and priced under $10 you have nothing to lose. For a flawless finish, I apply a dime-quarter sized dollop (depending on coverage wanted) on the back of my hand and applied and blended it out with a damp beauty blender. To set the foundation, I then used my usual Black Opal Finishing Powder.
Pros:
- Great, Competitive Price Point
- Matte finish
- Lightweight
- Doesn’t oxidize
- Buildable
Cons:
- May have to mix shades for perfect match
- Not long-wearing
- Doesn’t stay matte all day
- May have to mix shades for perfect match
- Can cause break outs
Have you guys tried this foundation? What your thoughts and experiences?
I’ve used this foundation before and like you said it leaves you oily! Ugh! I really had high hopes for it! Do you have any suggestions for foundations for oily skin?
Haven’t found a drugstore one yet, So I do like the Clinique Beyond Perfecting™ Foundation + Concealer
Okay I’ll look into that! Thank you!
