Product review:Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation
When it comes to drugstore foundations, the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation has been a cult favorite for years. Designed for normal to oily skin types, this foundation promises a natural matte finish while minimizing the appearance of pores. After testing it out, here’s my honest review.
The foundation comes in a sleek glass bottle with a wide shade range, which is one of its strongest selling points. Finding the right match for different skin tones is easy compared to many other drugstore options. The texture is lightweight and blends smoothly, whether applied with a brush, sponge, or even fingertips. It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin, which makes it perfect for daily wear.
Coverage-wise, the Fit Me Foundation offers medium buildable coverage. It evens out the skin tone effectively and conceals minor imperfections, but you may still need a concealer for dark spots or acne scars. I particularly appreciate how it controls shine without making the skin look flat or cakey. On my skin, it lasted around 6–7 hours before requiring a touch-up, which is quite impressive for its price point.
Another advantage is that it’s non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, making it suitable for acne-prone skin. However, those with dry skin might find it slightly accentuating dry patches, so prepping with a good moisturizer is a must.
Overall, the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation lives up to the hype as an affordable, reliable, and versatile base makeup product. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a natural matte finish without breaking the bank.
