Maybelline Fit Foundation

There are some things I will splurge and others where I will try to save money on. I usually splurge on foundations but I've heard some pretty good reviews about the Maybelline Fit Foundation so I picked one up to try. Keeping in mind that I'm comparing an $8 foundation to a $30-50 foundation.

The packaging outside is simple and I love that the product is in a sturdy glass container.


But there's no pump. It's messy and I'm pretty clumsy so I already dropped it on the carpet. Ugh.



I got the color 120 which is the third lightest color they had. It looks like it has some yellow undertones which not a lot of drugstore foundations have.

I swatched a little on my hand and as you can clearly see, it's really runny.


I blended it in and the color is a nice match. I'm NC20 to give you an idea.


I noticed right away that it's lightweight on the skin and easy to blend. I can see why most people like it but it's not the right "fit" for me. Pun intended and meant for you to laugh.

I have acne. I'm not talking about tiny pimples and blackheads, although I do have those too. But massive zits. Everywhere.

This foundation is light coverage. I wouldn't even say medium because it's so sheer. If you have a lot of imperfections you want to cover, then this won't do it for you.

It did last about 6-7 hours with primer underneath which is a decent amount of time. I had to retouch afterwards but I can live with that.

Overall I recommend this foundation if you want light natural coverage.


By the way I'm wearing a brand new lipstick which I'm head over heels for. You like?

  1. Your lipstick is GORGEOUS - beautifully natural with a fantastic sheen!

    Thank you for such a wonderful review, I always have a hard time matching colors but may try this for light summer coverage. I tend to just like to be able to throw on a bit of mineral powder and go lol.

    Have a lovely long weekend :)

  8. That's actually pretty interesting. Light coverage foundation? I think I might need to give it a try, because it's actually not easy to come by light coverage items. People prefer full coverages which can be unfortunate for the rest of us...
    Is it oily free? Because I have dry skin and it being oily free won't really be a good thing...
    Oh, and by the way. I found your blog through BlogLoveTherapy :)
