Maybelline - FIT me Hot

I've wanted to try this for ages and finally I did. I've been using this for about 2 weeks now. My colour is 230 - Natural Buff which makes my skin tone perfectly.

I have combination to oily skin and would NOT recommend this foundation to those ladies who are prone to oiliness by 10am by forehead was an oil slick. I have to use my Clinique City Block Oil Free Protector which works as a primer to control oil production during the day otherwise I look all shiny which is not a good lool.

Other than that its a great foundation. I don't set it with powder but I will probably get a translucent one come payday. I do agree with Liezel below that a pump would probably have been wise which is strange considering Maybelline's other foundations have pumps. I just give it a shake and lightly pour some on the back of my hand. The price is very good but I will probably not buy this as its just not for my skin type.

This foundation didn't really fit me at all. The colour selection isn't great for darker skin tones so I chose 320 Honey Beige which is about a shade or two too dark for me but I assumed it would work as this foundation is only light to medium coverage. It looked OK when I applied it but as the reviewer below mentioned it oxidized to a orange colour. I set this foundation with powder around my t-zone to lessen the dewiness but it still seemed to get really shiny after 3hrs. The biggest problem I have with this foundation is transfer, it get onto everything from scarves to earphones and comes off with even the slightest hint of perspiration. It just never seems to set completely. I will probably use this foundation up but I won't repurchase.

i love Revlon Photo Ready foundation and for the past 2 years its been the only foundation i have used. i love it because it gives me dewy look and its just stunning on my skin. it doesnt go white when you take a photo (SPF 20) and its got good coverage. i use 008 Golden Beige.

i saw Maybelline FIT foundation and i was suprised in all the shades that it came in, not just in the foundation but in the concealer and powder as well. i loved the fact that it also promised dewy look, had an SPF 18 - perfect. i then found shade 210 - Sandy Beige (sounds really dark) to be exactly like the shade i use in Revlon. For the first time i thought i would give it a try as it was on sale at Clicks for R149.

here is my pro's:
- goes on smoothly
- blends in well
- matches my skin tone perfectly
- feels light and airy
- contains and spf

Here is my con's:
- does not have a pump, so i tend to use more
- coverage is really really light. but the foundation is blendable so you can add another layer (but why if you wanting to keep it light)
- it didnt give my skin a dewy look
- it didnt stay put - oxidized - eeuuuuu

i was a little disappointed that the make up failed me after only 2-3 hours. i dont use powders as i have dry skin so maybe if you use the powder over the foundation it would be better - but i dont want to do that. like i said, i have dry skin but sometimes do find oiliness around my nose and this foundation made my nose very oily and actually just disappeared off. For that reason i dont think this will work for girls with oily skins at all.

from my photos you will see its almost the same colour as my Revlon Photo Ready so i will use this on weekends or days where i dont need more cover as i find this foundation to be more like a tinted moisturizer.
it does come with a great shade selection for girls who struggle to find the perfect shade.
