I Was Surprised! – I wasn't expecting too much on this product because I have tried other foundations with the same price but the effect weren't great. This one is different. It was very easy to apply with any tools. It is also buildable so if you're not contented with the 1st layer, you can always add another layer. It is comfortable on my skin. After 6 hours, I oiled up but the foundation was still great after blotting. It's very humid in the place where I'm at so I already expected that. The only part where the foundation was ruined were on the sides of my nose and under my lips.

This is a truly horrible foundation – I haven't worn makeup for ages, and thought I'd give this a go for a function I had to attend. It didn't go on my face at all smoothly. It went straight into my pores and made them stand out like little neon lights. The coverage on the rest of my face was very patchy and rough, and it was painfully obvious that I was wearing foundation ... which completely defeated the purpose. I had to wash it all off, there was no way I was going out in public looking like that. A horrible product that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
The greatest cheap foundation! – I've been using this ever since I found this product. I have tried some cheap foundations, but this one is on top! I'm on a tropical country which the heat can be the biggest threat to a full face makeup. However, this product is an ally to the makeup community in my country. The makeup lasts based on the weather condition, but it usually stays like the entire day. With just a little touch up of powder, if you have an oily skin. Show details
Amazing Foundation but doesn't keep you matte all day – I bought this foundation because it was meant to be a dupe for EL Double Wear. Since the shade range at my local Coles was quite small, I choose the only thing that looked around my colour. It was a decent match, maybe one shade lighter which I don't mind. Application is amazing. Even though the consistency of the liquid is somewhat thick (not… Read more
runny at all), when I applied it either with my brush or my sponge; it looked completely skin like. Applies like a dream. The foundation had no issues with my other makeup products and it looked flawless after I had finished my makeup routine. However, where my issue lies is the longevity. I have very oily skin and I was kinda hoping to avoid forking out so much money for the original DW but it seems I may have too because the foundation only lasted about 4 hours on my face before I started looking like a grease pan. I'm very use to having to powder the shine but I faced the same problem where I'd powder my face so much after my oils started poking through my foundation that I just end up looking like a cake face by the end of the day with enlarged pores. I would say that if you are wanting to go to an event that is indoors and in aircon which will last less than 4 hours, this will be a highly recommended foundation for you because it's so beautiful when you put it on. However, if it is a work day where you are in air-con or going outside for a walk to get lunch and you have to wear the foundation for 8+ hours, I would suggest getting something else more bullet proof because this does not last on oily skin types. Shame because it's such a lovely foundation when I initially put it on.
Sooooo good, that I don't bother with any other product, anymore! – Being in my 50's I have used the product for around 10 years. Its changed somewhat over that time but somehow they have managed to keep the formula mostly the same. It lasts all day (it really does), it's not greasy, does not run off my face, is thick enough to cover my freckles and the odd pimple, and allows other make up (e.g. blush) to sit on… Read more
top nicely. Ive tried other foundation over the decades and I don't bother going to any other product. Its not the cheapest on the market at around $27 (from Kmart) but I don't care, I don't want them change the product and make it inferior, just for the sake of making it cheaper. Good job Maybelline!

Perfect formula, So many shades – This product is amazing I can wear it all day and it is not too heavy on the skin and very easy to remove at the end of the day, Best part is how many shades are available so it actually matches to your skin tone Show details
Best drug store foundation – Product was great when it was first introduced. Definitely matte and poreless when I used it on my normally oily skin in summer. Buildable coverage and comes in many shades. Great that it’s cheap and even cheaper when on sale at major supermarkets and pharmacies. Still my everyday foundation but have found that in the last 8 or so months,it wasn’t as good as when I first tried it.
It's good, but not as good as expected – This is my current everyday foundation, and i do find i keep repurchasing but mainly as I'm so pale and not many brands offer pale shades. I do like the foundation, but not as good as everyone hypes it up to be. I don't find it stays all day, and starts to crack around my nose, but until i find something else, i will continue to purchase.
Negative reviews
No pump – Doesn’t included pump in bottle, take time to pour out foundation...l find the ‘Max Factor X’ Radiant the bestest products so far and it’s so easy to used and quicker Show details
Not for sensitive skin – It has good coverage and gives skin a good glow but for me next day after using it, it caused me acne so I think not suitable for acne prone skin Show details
Maybelline FitMe Matte foundation very drying on skin – I have combination skin, some parts are oily and some parts are dry. I have enlarged pores due to aging and I bought this foundation in the shade beige as it claimed to be ‘poreless’. While it laid down nice on my skin, it definitely didn’t fill in or blur my pores and didn’t wear very well. On my oily parts of my face the foundation slipped and… Read more
moved around, bunching up in spots, it creased in my smile lines and forehead lines. On my dry parts of my face it made my skin even more dry, and got flaky. It only wore well for about an hour before the problems began so if it needs to be worn for an extended period, I’d recommend either a pier filling, blurring primer or just a thin layer, worn as light/medium coverage. It’ll wear better as medium coverage rather than full coverage.

super matte for my own liking – I have combination skin, i get oily on my forehead, nose and some parts of my cheeks. On a daily basis I use this foundation and notice that it cracks on some areas of my face, it does cover my pores but it cakes. If you have the same skin condition as mine, you should prep your face first by exfoliating and putting some moisturizer on. Show details
Not the best for my skin – My skin is dry to normal and I found this foundation to cake on my skin and be very dry. The other small problem was finding the right color match for my skin tone the color I thought would be fine was absolutely as I went very orange took 5 different shades to find my match. I can’t say I’m a big fan it’s not full coverage and showed my pores.

Worst drug store foundation – I have used many brands’ drug store foundations but by far this is the worst foundation. I bought it from chemist warehouse. It has weird smell and no coverage whatsoever. I am really disappointed.
I was expecting better – I found this foundation 'just ok'. If you plan on trying it, I'd suggest buying it on special. I don't feel it delivered on its promise of 'poreless' in the slightest. They do have nicer shades of foundation than other brands, however, but alas, I consider these to just be a basic fioundation.
Meh – I personally didn't like this product. I found the foundation to have a yellow tinge. They don't have the best range of complexion colours. It has a very tiny pump which usually requires me to use it 2 or 3 pumps to get a full coverage. by the end of the day it wears off and shows my pores. Doesn't really do what it says. Wouldn't recommend.
my go to drug store foundation – to be honest, i haven't tried that many drug store foundations, but i do have experience with many mid-high end foundations, i like my Armani luminous silk and lasting silk, the Illamasqua skin base foundation last pretty well on me, I've also been using it cosmetic cc cream, taste amazonian clay foundation, lancome teint idole ultra 24hr, mac… Read more
studio fix fluid and many more.
it has decent coverage (enough to cover some discoloration), does not emphasize the pores on my nose or texture on my cheeks, and i did find a shade that works for me (which can be struggling for some skin tones, since they don't offer a wide range of shades). i wouldn't say that i prefer maybelline fit me over all these high end foundations, especially when it comes to its ingredient and fragrance, but i honestly think that it competes with these foundations.
it could last around 10 hrs on me, although i still get oily throughout the day, especially around my t zone, but for my combo-to-oilly skin, that's inevitable.
disappointed with this one – I love the Maybelline bb stick and a ton of their stuff so when I saw this I thought it was a no risk. It is matte but too matte for me? I feel like it accentuates dry patches on my skin but doesn't control oil on my t-zone area. I feel it oxidizes more than other foundation on my skin too for some reason. maybe it's just not for me.
Not bad, just doesn't last all day – This product is okay, I find it doesn't last too long though. It looks fantastic on the skin, coverage is medium. I definitely cannot build this one up to a full coverage. For an everyday product it does the trick!
Wasn't the best, wasn't the worst – I am a big fan of Maybelline products, and when their "Fit Me" range launched around 2-3 years ago, I knew I had to try it out. Many people praise and love the line, but it just didn't work out for me. I was a bit disappointed as, with many matte Foundations people will look for something that has a matte finish but is rather moisturising on the… Read more
skin. I am sad to say that, this product just didn't do for me, it left my skin feeling dry, and the coverage was quite light. However, for those who don't have sensitive skin, and like a more natural look, I definitely would recommend this product.
The perfect and excellent foundation – Before using maybelline foundation i 've used a many brands but i didn't got the result wished. My friend advice me to use maybelline foundation so i buy it and the surprise was at the first time i made it really perfect coverage with keeping a natural looking.i love it and when it ends i will purchase an other without hesitating.i highly recommend it.
Really good for a drugstore foundation! – I've bought this foundation in many different tones & they all work really well! It's very full coverage and lasts well throughout the day. Even though it's full coverage, it does not feel masky at all, feels like nothing is on your face. I have dry skin and use a moisturiser before i apply this foundation and it still works fine! Doesn't show your pores or crease which is good, as many foundations I've used have done that to my skin.

Love it! Perfect for price – I buy a lot from the Maybelline range and decided to try the fit me foundation, I was suggested to buy it from a few people as I have semi dry skin and needed a foundation that would not make my face look flakey, it spreads really well and stays on my face with a light powder to set even whilst at the gym! It does not make my face look washed out… Read more
and the colours are perfect and matched soo well. The only thing I found annoying and was a down side was it does not come with a pump, meaning you have to carefully pour it out. Not a major issue but just something that I find a downer. Other than that it is perfect and will be buying again.
Good quality – GOod quality coverage and the price was good. It lasts the whole day, and I found that it was nice and smooth and felt like nothing at all. I give it 4 stars.
Light coverage, perfect for everyday wear – I brought this foundation, but got the dewy and smooth foundation as i have more dry skin. I found it really good, felt a bit cloggy but was a nice light coverage that allowed me to have a natural look. Lasted all night & still looked great in the morning. I like it because even though its light coverage its easy to build it up. Its great value for money!
Perfect – This is such great coverage for the price its amazing, I've been using it for the past 1-2 years i started with bb cream and then skipped to wearing foundation, i love how it stays on for almost the whole day and isn't cakey at all, this is also great for beginners and a tip after you apply foundation it will obviously mattify and so it will get darker by a little bit
The best of the reasonably priced foundation – I tried a few shockers before I found this one. I used to wear foundation that was much more expensive until budget measures meant I had to find an alternative. This gives great coverage and lasts all day.
Maybelline Fit Me Stick Foundation – I use the Fit Me stick foundation (120) and it is great coverage and dewy. I apply with a stipple brush and I love it. You do need to exfoliate well in you skin care routine (i use skin doctors gamma hydroxy) to get a really porcelain effect. I am 47 and it is the best foundation i have ever used. If you have dry flaky skin though, you will not… Read more
like it. I have dry skin but well exfoliated. My 24 year old daughter uses it too and she looks great. It is far better than the NYX foundation stick that many recommend.
Good – This is a good foundation but may be a little heavy for oily skin. Blends well. They have a good selection of shades. I would buy again and i find the matching concealer very good. I use the concealer daily with powder and occasionally the foundation-if i use this foundation everyday i find it clogs my pores but every other day is fine. Worth a try as the price is very low.
My Everyday Go-To Foundation, however could be better! – I have been using this foundation over the past year and so far its my everyday foundation. It does most of the stuff that it claims to do. It covers pores like a gem, I have visibly large pores and this product covered them quite well. It stays matte for a few hours, around 4 or 5 hours....thats if you are on a busy schedule! If you are simply… Read more
wearing this without any intention of doing anything for the day it'll last longer. The shades could be improved. My closest shade was in shade "Ivory" and it seems a tag bit orange, however not too noticeable after I set my face with powder and finishing spray. Doesn't oxidize UNLESS you are out in the heat, so definitely wouldn't recommend wearing this on a hot day. Doesn't separate too bad, however I do notice some of it comes off after around 6-8 hours of wear. Overall very impressed, has tempted me into buying the rest of the products from the Fit Me range.
Amazing, defenetly recommending it! – This product had been a life saver for me! I got it at my local drug store and it only cost me $10! I have used it every day since then! It is light weight yet full coverage and is not streaky. Finding the right foundation is difficult but there is no need to look further than here! They have lots of colours to match your skin tone perfectly and… Read more · 1
will undoubtably have to perfect shade for you! I highly recommend this product to everyone ( beginners or pros) because it's really cheap and light weight with no streaks!
Poor coverage, looks orange, shiny – I usually use Estee Lauder's double wear foundation which provides great coverage and lasts all day but is around $50. I was trying to find a lower cost everyday foundation and was impressed with the reviews. However, I found it to provide very poor coverage even when built up. I purchased the Ivory shade yet it looks more orange on my skin. I… Read more
also found it to be shiny which I never usually have a problem with and did not expect as it is called Matte.
I would not recommend this and will not finish the bottle I purchased.
Good for Normal to Oily Skin – I bought this foundation because I needed something a little more mattifying for summer. Usually I use the Fit Me Dewy & Smooth which has a lovely formula for dry skin types. This new matte formula is definitely a change but I like the affect it has on my skin. My face doesn't melt off in the heat and I am gobsmacked at how little product I have… Read more
to used compared the dewy version. Coverage is medium but build-able. People with very dry skin might be put off by this foundation.
maybelline fit me foundation – I love this product !!it has a great coverage it looks very natural on the skin and provides a very smooth finish. The only thing I don't like about the product is it Doesent smell good it smells kinda like white out.
The Only Foundation I'll Use – I have used this as an everyday foundation for about 4 years now (think it was called something else back then though)!! Such value for money - comes in lots of different shade, non greasy, long lasting and awesome coverage. Also looks lovely with the Fit Me compact powder. :)
