Review: Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation
Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation
(30ml/1.fl.Oz) was first introduced by Joveeta to me. The product was also
reviewed by Goss Make Up Artist, which all of you know, to be quite a dupe to
NARS Sheer Glow. I am myself is quite a girl who prefers foundation with dewy,
satiny finish to those with matte finish. Trying this foundation out, of course
I had no question to do it at the moment!
Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation”It's Face Makeup That Fits You. No Oils, No Waxes, No Nonsense. Fit Me Foundation Blends Seemlessy For Light to Medium, Natural Coverage That Leaves Skin The Way It Was Meant to Be... Fresh, Breathing, Flawless. The Exclusive Translucent Base And Lightweight Pigments Allow Skin's Natural Highs And Lows to Show Through. Non-Comedogenic And Dermatologist Tested. Available In 18 Breathable Shades.”
Pour-Out Type, Yay or Nay?
The packaging has no outer box as it only
comes in a glass bottle as seen in pictures. Don’t get fooled, it’s not as tall
and as big as it looks on pictures! I first was very surprised to receive it,
the bottle is quite short but it’s cute! Yet, the design of the bottle is
simpler and somehow more sophisticated than any of the previous Maybelline
foundations with black screw plastic cap.
Whenever glass bottle meets screw cap, I think
all the makeup and foundation hoarder out there can easily tell that the
foundation is not very convenient to have. It will have no pump instead of
having only a wide opened mouth which simply get you to pour “your-desired-amount”
out. I’m not really a fan of this kind of “no-pump” packaging, as I always
spill more than I could need…or maybe it’s just me?
18 Shades For Everyone!
Maybelline Fit Me! comes in friendly 18
shades, ranging from light-dark shades with a quite good numbering system. The first
numbers would indicate the family of basic skin tone, 1-for light, 2-for
medium, and 3-for dark. After choosing which family your skin tone would belong
to, move to the second numbers which tell about the intensity of your skin tone,
from 1-4 with 1 as the lightest in the family to 4 as the darkest in the
family. The third numbers are describing your undertone, as number 0 is for
those with warm undertones and 5 for those with pink.
I got this in number 120, it’s not really
a match for my NC20-25 skin tone. I have warm undertones, but not as strong as
some Asian women have, but sometimes I feel this foundation is not yellow
enough—it has quite strong beige tone to it that sometimes turns ashy on my
face. As talking per se, it’s also a little bit darker for my skintone. (just a
little biiiiit!)
Octinoxate, Please.
Ingredients: (Active Ingredient : Octinoxate 7%), Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Isotridecyl Isononanoate, PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Dimethicone/Polyglycerin-3 Crosspolymer, Sodium Chloride, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Chlorphenesin, Disodium EDTA, Acrylates Copolymer, Propylparaben, Fragrance, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Aluminium Hydroxide, PEG-9, Ethylparaben, Dipropylene Glycol, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone /- (CI 77891/ Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491/CI 77492/CI 77499/Iron Oxides)
Octinoxate,
I have my eyes on you. ALWAYS. For those who
have clueless idea about what it’s, actually it’s the sunscreen which provides
you SPF18 as claimed by this foundation. The bad thing is, it’s a chemical
sunscreen as some people including me, might have some bad experiences such as
irritations and co. Personally I would prefer a physical sunscreens like
Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide, but the active ingredients working as sunscreen
here is our O old foe, so this is the
biggest miss in this foundation I could find.
Loves the Finish, Not the
Staying Power!
Moving on to the texture, it has quite
lightweight, runny texture. Compared to the most runny and watery foundation I ever had, Urban
Decay Naked Skin, Maybelline is a bit thicker. The texture simply describes how
it feels on your skin; lightweight and not greasy, but it’s not like going to
dry! You know, you can see the dewy, the glow, but it’s like your foundation
never actually “shrink” into the skin instead of sitting on top of it and
looking “wet”. It has the instant dewy and natural finish which is again, not
very friendly with combi-oily skin like mine. My face started to look shiny
after 2 hours like so, without setting it with powder at the first place, yet
after 6 hours like so it starts to fade away and the redness starts to peek
through. Eeek! This foundation is definitely for those who have dry-normal
skin. Indeed…

| excuse my skin, it's kinda bad lately! yet, thanks to the phone cam's quality to worsen it |
As for my personal experience you want to
take as reference and or consideration, yes I did, I do break up after using
this foundation. 95% it is because of the Octinoxate, which my skin always
reacts badly to. Those with
sensitive skin, acne prone skin, if you’re not allergic to this chemical
sunscreen as I am, maybe you might still want to try it out. The breakout is
not as bad, it’s just some little annoying bumps which you can easily eliminate
but that’s not very cool for me as I expect for an everyday foundation.
The price tag attached to this foundation
is fair enough, $7.99 being a drugstore foundation. It’s actually is cheaper
than some L’Oreal, Neutrogena, and Covergirl foundation. You can grab this at
drugstore.com, CVS, Walmart, and Ulta. If you’re getting it through online shop
like I do, the price then will vary around IDR150,000. Fair enough still!
Score
Last Words?
Maybelline Fit Me!
Foundation comes in 18 shades and varying undertone for each shade, making it
easy for you to find one that matches you. However, those for warm undertones
are lack of yellow tone. It contains Octinoxinate as the active sunscreen ingredients,
watch out if you’re allergic to chemical sunscreen. Having a beautiful dewy,
natural glowy finish makes this foundation great. Since the staying power is
not so good, I sadly say this foundation would best fit dry-normal skin the
best.

ReplyDeleteYikes. A pour out one... that would seem messy. :(
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that product from Maybelline yet in my place though... for foundations, I personally prefer Bobbi Brown collection. It's like... a miracle worker of some sort.. less hassle - the better. :D

ReplyDeletewoah padahal make up guru fav aku ada reccomend foundie ini, emg hasilnya beda2 si disetiap org, jadi ragu mau coba >,< thanks for the review :D
ReplyDeleteaww too bad that it contains quite an ingredients that were not really "friendly" to acne-prone skin, I would probably skip this instead~ thanks for sharing =)
ReplyDeleteyes! you may want to janet, i'm not very sure it will suit your skin, though. better to prevent than to cure, eh? :D welcome!
ReplyDeletehehehe goss ya? iya aku kepincut juga gara2 goss, tp ngga sadar kenapa aku ga cocok sampe liat ingredientsnya melotot..ternyata active ingrenya octinoxate, but i don't guarantee it won't suit you too yaa, try to find more reference darls! :D
ReplyDeleteyes! and I'm an example to a person who always messes up with the pour out foundation...
ReplyDeleteBobbi Brown? I've been eyeing on their skin foundation, but I'm afraid it won't work amazing with my oily skin! the long wear one is rather thick, yet I can't wear thick foundation or else I would end up having breakout ;A;
Ideal for normal to oily skin types, this ultralightweight formula features flexible micro-powders to control shine and blur pores throughout the day. With its medium coverage, the liquid foundation leaves a natural finish on the skin that's never flat or cakey for a natural makeup look.
