Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review


Hi, I'm back with another review this is the Fit Me Maybelline Foundation in shade 125, so this isn't the exact shade for me. I picked out the wrong one, its a shade darker (I feel) for me. Its not obvious but yeah. This was my first foundation that I bought and what I didn't realise was that with foundation, you test it on your jawline. I was always told that because tester products have been on hundreds on people, its unhygenic to apply i.e liptstick to directly on your lips, instead you swatch it either on the back of your hand or your wrist. So I tested foundation on the back on of my hand *I know, I failed but I'm pretty new to make up*


So, yeah~ also, I'm pretty fair "milky" skin tone. Although, I think a thin layer of this foundation is good and I will finish it off before trying out other BB creams & foundation. Any recommendations than drop a comment in the comments section? I'm looking for light to medium coverage.

Okay lets go!

 Product Description (taken from their website).

Packaging is really boring compared to Japanese & Korean brands. Its in a glass rectangle tube thing with a black cap. The name of the product is on the product and the name of the brand. My one is in shade 125. There is 30ml of product (way more than enough, I don't wear foundation, every time I wear make up). It lasts for 24 months (2 years). Its also a pump product so you won't end up squeezing out too much product and wasting it. YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!

Scent

There isn't a particular smell, it just smells pleasent enough to apply on your face. I can't see anyone having a problem with this.

Product

There are 18 shades. My shade 125 is also known as "Nude Beige" , I'd probably should of tried "Ivory" or "Natural Ivory" to get closer to my skin tone. Oh well :(. The product is thick and glides onto the skin really well, its easy to blend into the skintone and you can you build up the converage, giving off a natural colour. Although, I don't know if I got the wrong shade or something but when I apply too much. I always end up looking orange and this usually, happens if I have pimples or break out and I try to cover up the redness. 

This is how the product looks like when pumped out of the bottle

Roughly blended

The top half of my hand is withouth the foundation and the bottom half, is with foundation.
I think you can see the difference between the skintones *LOL*.

Thumbs Up

Lots of shades
Good coverage
No unpleasent smell

Thumbs Down

Packaging is a little boring for me.

^^ I would recommend this for others, however I'd probably won't re-purchase this because I want to try something else and I like products with cute packaging. I hope to see you in my next review.
