Maybelline's Fit Me Foundation Review

I have since the early 90's when I started needing the occassional use of foundation to find just the right one, or at least one that I think works pretty great.  I did find what I thought was the gold of foundation once in a sample in vogue made by lancome (I think) and it was the first time I was introduced to a product that used light to help make it so good, it felt like mouse, so light on the skin you didn't even know it was there.  (note to self, use the internet to now find that foundation again) fast forward 20 years later and this product may no longer dance nicely with my 30 something skin, but in the mean time I have found one that I think is pretty good.

I recently purchased at Walmart a bottle of Maybelline's new Fit me foundation number 210 and I bought it just after I had had my baby and we were about to do a family photo shoot.  The pregnancy had left me face and neck with alot of undesired spots that I needed to cover up. Can I just say this stuff covers, really really well.  Its pretty smooth yet not as light as some whipped up foundations, it does have the consistency of most liquid foundations yet still feels a little lighter but not like cream, it blends into the skin really well either with a brush or your fingers, (I prefer finger application) there is no cakiness in any time lapse after application and I don't feel like I have a mask on.  Now......it doesn't feel as invisible as mineral foundation does, I can feel I have something on my skin but only when actually touch my face, to have it actually on my skin and move my face I don't notice its there.

I also liked that it was really easy to pick my shade, their selection process is really easy to use and quick.  Once I picked my foundation it then tells me what powder and blush I should use.  I also like the powder.  Its well pressed in the compact and when you do put your brush to it, it doesn't come off overloaded.  I have found it works great to set foundation and concealer on the eyelid if I choose not to use a primer.  It sets very nice.

As I mentioned earlier, the product is not totally undetected so I wouldn't use it in an  environment where its going to be overly warm and I may perspire,  and that's just my personal preference to not feel like there is anything on my skin when in those environments, that's when I will stick to my mineral products, but for a night out on the town, when my make up application overall is going to be a little heavier anyway, this product is perfect to give you that wonderful clean canvas that make up loves to sit on top of.  For the price, its well worth it.
