The Maybelline Fit Me Foundation has received so many good reviews ever since its launch in Malaysia!! I heard so many of my friends raving about the foundation on their IG and it got all me curious to get my hands behind it. So, I wanted to find out if this drugstore foundation lives up to all the raves it’s been getting. I just two big questions about the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. First, Is it really on par to an actual high-end foundation? Or is it just good as a base? 

I know for a fact I won’t be getting the answers by contemplating, LOL!  So instead of playing the guessing game, I decided to try and test the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation for myself. This is my first time trying the product and tbh I wasn’t sceptical cuz I did my product research and to my surprise, it is alcohol-free but does have parabens tho! Plus, it also has a non-comedogenic formula means it can prevent congestion and clogged pores. 

All these facts got me excited actually cuz generally drugstore foundations have low-value formulas in comparison to the high-end ones. But judging from its ingredients, I know the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is different and safe to try on my face. So, I got myself the Fit Me foundation in shade 338 Spicy Brown and here’s are my honest thoughts about it. Also, I’ve been using it for more than a month now and despite having a dry/sensitive skin this foundation didn’t cause me any breakouts at all!

What is the Maybelline’s Fit Me Foundation?

It is a lightweight liquid foundation that comes in stunning 19 shades in Malaysia. Yeap, with this line you won’t have the issue of not being able to find the right shade for you! I often don’t buy drugstore foundation because of the lack of varieties. But with this Fit Me line actually manage to find a shade that fits my brown tan skin! You have no idea how happy that made me, HAHAHAHAHAHA! I bet ya, every Malaysian woman would be able to find a shade that fits em with this line. 

Plus, it also promises a gorgeous matte and smooth finish while blurring out all your visible pores (Well it did!!!) Moreover, it is perfect for all skin tone as the formula is conveniently designed to meet the needs of all your common skin concerns. Like I personally have very very very dry skin and generally, that’s why I skip foundations as they can be very drying but this Fit Me foundation is indeed different. It gave me a smooth, flawless complexion that stays mattified on my skin all day.

Is the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Coverage Good?

Yassss! My shade( 338 Spicy Brown) offered me good medium coverage with one swipe. I was pretty satisfied with the medium coverage as I like my makeup to look rather natural than thick. Of course, you, however, can go on layering and build it for full coverage. I used my regular moisturiser underneath and the foundation did give me a matte glossy finish. I managed to cover a few of my minor blemishes with it as well! 

Also, surprisingly the foundation stayed on my skin all day long without turning cakey. I‘m too lazy for touch-ups but with this foundation just minimal touch-ups if actually needed. I also really liked how it adheres to my skin instead of just like being on the base of it (You get what I mean). Like it doesn’t feel that heavy nor that light and somehow has a good balance of both. Plus, it also blends so well so you can get away with just using your fingers like me to get the smooth even texture. Also, it doesn’t dry out my skin at all!!!

How Long Does the Foundation Last on the Skin?

You can take my words on this, the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation does offer a long-lasting stay. It stayed on my skin for close to 12 hours before it stayed it started to fade off. Plus, after applying there wasn’t any hint of a sheen or any tackiness whatsoever. My skin was just like a smooth, velvety canvas. The foundation is also easy to wash away. All you need is a really good facial cleanser! 

However, it does get slightly oily over time but not to the point where my face turned completely into an oily mess. To its fairness, I do spend a lot of my time out in the sun which explains the oiliness. So, if you’re gonna wear the foundation out in the sun make sure to use a good primer underneath as the primer can reduce the glow. Also, I liked how it doesn’t have that off-putting powdery drugstore foundation smell. In fact, I didn’t smell anything! The finish, for me, does look very high-end matte.

Why You Should Give the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation a Try?

Firstly for its quality. Despite being a drugstore foundation, the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation does what it promised! As the name stands, it is a line that would fit women of all skin. Especially in a country like Malaysia, where diversity is everything, this is one is a major win for me. Also, the formula of the product is another thing that makes it worth the money. It is up to the standards of your NARS, Lancome and more, no joke!

You know, how many matte formulas promise us to eliminate unwanted shine and cover all the visible pores but it does. Instead, it usually makes you or at least I look overly shiny like a vampire under the sun (Do they shine tho?!). However, this foundation creates a soft matte effect that lasts all day without settling into pores. Hence, you’re not going to have the blot or powdery effect as it actually delivers shine control. 

Are There Any Downsides to the Foundation?

Well, the only issue I have with the foundation is that it comes in a rather old-fashioned glass bottle. It would make our lives so much easier if it came with a pump!  The no pump situation is kind of inconvenient. Mainly because as you have very little control over what comes out which can result in a mess.

Imagine if you throw in it your bag and forgot to close properly, your whole bag is gonna be covered in foundation! It did happen to me once. But I like how Maybelline went for glass instead of plastic, a conscious decision that deserves a note! Despite the no pump, I absolutely loved everything else about the foundation. Definitely think it is one that proves good things doesn’t come with big price tags!

Where to Buy the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in Malaysia?

You can buy any one of the 19 shades of the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in all Watsons stores across Malaysia. Each on the 30ml bottle is RM39.92 online. The prices may vary in stores tho as each store might have its own discounts and sales. I cannot give definite in-stores prices but I bought it for RM34 which is less than half of the price I normally pay for my usual foundation. However, do bear in mind, these foundations are very limited so grab your shade before it runs out!
