My Review on Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Honestly, my experience with this foundation has been bittersweet like sometimes I was awe struck by its end results but sometimes; I had to chew my teeth if it dragged me towards any undecided situation. Though I’ve been using Maybelline Fit Me Foundation for a month and in this period I have had some very cheesy and chalky experiences that I’ll be sharing further in this review.



Starting with the packaging, I must confess that the foundation comes in a sleek, stylish and sexy glass bottle. Very compact and travel-friendly and that really pushes me to carry this foundation everywhere I go. It is super-easy to carry and handle but when it comes to the application; it is not very easy to apply. Since the bottle comes with a screw cap (instead of pump-top), I believe it is a minor drawback that might cause the over-spilling of the product.


From the collection of unique shades from Maybelline Fit Me Luminous & Smooth Foundation, I personally chose the shade 225. It is a slightly dark and high-definition shade that I found to be the closest match with my skin. If you’ve tried the shades (NC 41-42) from Mac, I definitely recommend you to try this one.


Since Maybelline offers an assortment of shades in its swatches, you can also choose from a collection of high-end powders, primers, and concealers to compliment your foundation and achieve the right coverage.



After wearing this product for 1 month, there were only two reasons that kept me pushing to wear this foundation over and over again. First was its excellent shade range and Second, was its gentle gel-based formula that actually tarnished my poor perception about gel-based foundations (L'Oreal True Match foundation disaster). Though I was leaned down towards its gorgeous shades range but its gel-based formula, Wow! I must say it is not only feather-light but super-charged with volumizing particles. Moreover, what I should say about the texture, well instead of clogging, it concealed all the blemishes, pores and facial flaws in my skin.


Since Maybelline Fit Me contains a gel-based formula, the chances are certain that foundation may lose its coverage due to its water based content. To avoid the foundation from dripping, try setting it with facepowder to achieve the right consistency before applying the product. Women having oily skin should not try this foundation as its gel-based content might not stay longer on your skin.




Considering about the SPF content, the product claims to have broad spectrum SPF 18. No doubt the foundation offers an emollient-rich and luminous finish but when it comes to the set-back, the SPF content reflects an unattractive and ghoulish white cast that is easily apparent in digital and flash photography.



Personally, I do like its super buildable coverage that is light-to-medium, a perfect blend for my uneven skin. Plus! The foundation provides a soft-focus effect with a light-illuminating finish that conceals all the blemishes and minor flaws in my imperfect skin.



What I dislike about the product is the addition of “parabens” in its formula. It is a certain type of chemical preservative usually found in cosmetic products but merely known for its side effects when exposed to sensitive skin.
