In terms of drugstore, Maybelline seems to somewhat please me the most in terms of face products. Their Fit Me Concealer (20 Sand Sable) and Instant Age Rewind Concealer (Neutralizer) are some of my favorite concealers of all time. I've tried their Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation and although I very much loved the formula, I just couldn't get past the super pinkish tone it had.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation
I decided to give it a try because I love the Fit Me concealer so much plus it had an amazing price of $7.99 for 1 fl oz. Within the fit me collection, there is two versions of this foundation; the dewy version (or the original version) and the matte and poreless version (the newest launch). I got the matte and poreless one since I do have combination to oily skin.
Packaging:[❤❤❤❤]
All right. Nothing too fancy but doesn't look cheap either.
Shade Selection: [❤❤❤]
There is 16 shades to choose from. I got the shade 128 Warm Nude. (If you were wondering, I am an NC25- NC30 in MAC cosmetics). For once, I got the shade right (YES!) buttt I would say it is a tad just a slightttt bit pink for me. However, I just use a more yellowy powder over it and it seems to do the trick.
Consistency: [❤❤❤❤]
Has some thickness to it where it would not run down your arm but it's not super thick.
Longevity: [❤❤❤]
On me, max is 5 hours. It's not a super long wearing foundation but keep in mind, there is no claims stating that it is a long wearing foundation.
Oil-Controlling and Matteness: [❤❤]
When you first apply it, you get this demi-matte, somewhat satiny look which I like. Although it says oil-free, it does not control oils at all. I find that by the 2nd or 3rd hour, I need to powder myself or else I become one gigantic grease ball. Another thing to note is that it does cling on to your dry patches so I would exfoliate and moisturize beforehand.
Coverage: [❤❤❤❤]
Medium
Overall: [❤❤❤]
This is a good day to day foundation where you are just running some errands or meeting up for some brunch but that's about it
Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Powder
Packaging:[❤❤❤❤❤]
Again, all right. Nothing too fancy but doesn't look cheap either. The packaging is quite sturdy and there is a mirror and sponge included so it is travel friendly product.
Shade Selection: [❤❤❤]
There is 8 shades to choose from. I got the shade 130 Buff Beige.
Oil-Controlling and Matteness: [❤❤]
Gives a nice demi-matte finish to the skin but it is not an oil controlling powder.
Overall: [❤❤❤]
This is an all right powder. Nothing too amazing but it's not bad either. I currently use it everyday hence the dent in it but that's just because I haven't found a powder that I am head over heels about.
Let me know how you guys like it? ANDDD what's your holy grail powders are!
Well that's all I got to say! Until our next chat!
