PRODUCT REVIEW |MAYBELLINE FIT ME,MATTE+PORELESS FOUNDATION.

-



For a number of reasons, I decided to change up my makeup routine, and that included the need to  change and be on the lookout for new foundations that would work for my oily skin. I am someone that likes to stick to what works. I  also wouldn't normally buy stuff without getting a review about it, which is what I did for MAYBELLINE FIT ME, MATTE + PORELESS FOUNDATION.
I finally tried this foundation and here's what I observed.

CONSISTENCY
It has a runny/watery texture,  I had to pour a little carefully on the back of my Palm, to avoid excess spillage.
 When I applied to skin, I found out it was lightweight, it didn't feel like I had foundation on. This was very impressive as not a lot of drugstore foundation offers that lightweight feature.

COVERAGE 
It has a medium coverage, which can be built to a full coverage, it's best to use a concealer with it if you need an extra coverage for spots. I used a pump for all over my face and didn't use a concealer as I wanted to truly find out how well it could cover my scars.

FRAGRANCE 
 It has a scent, it is not overpowering just a mild smell that goes away after application.

PACKAGING
It wasn't packaged in a box, it was sold off the shelf to me in a 30ml bottle. Which left me wondering if that's how they are being imported .

DID IT JUSTIFY IT'S CLAIMS ?
Upon application, it mattified/dried  instantly, giving me a natural finish as it claimed. I moisturized only, and then did the powder before foundation technique, after which I applied the foundation and finished it off with the ZARON FACE PALLETE MATTIFYING POWDER.
 It stayed on my skin for over 8 hours and I only blotted my face with a tissue as I was on the move. I also used my powder brush without applying powder, to brush off any seeping oil on my face. 
Exactly 9hrs after blotting
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE 
  • It  oxidizes, it appears darker after it has set on the skin.
  • It doesn't have a pump/applicator. Considering its texture, I hoped for a better applicator to help guage the amount of product to use.

It caters for normal to oily skin and I would recommend this Foundation paired with a primer for my fellow greasy dolls. If you have dry skin, this may not be the best foundation as it mattifies, you may look patchy only if you pair with a hydrating primer and powder. This foundation is a good one for its price. It retails for 4500 Naira(depends on the store,prices may differ).


Till my next read !

 Hi,my name is Cynthia and i love DIYs đŸ˜‹.Here's the thing about DIYs, I see them as mother nature's gift to mankind to help combat impurities ,from cold to cramps to acne . Another part I love the most is it's pocket friendly.  Also ,would you rather heap harsh chemicals on your skin? . The skin is the largest organ in the body and it should be handled with optimal care . It's safer and kinder to use ingredients that are organic to help fight acne .  I have tried a lot of DIYs ,but I have a few that I would truly recommend for people who have it bad like me .Top 5 on my list .

I am currently obsessing about skincare and how best to take care of your type of skin. I am here to preach (yes preach ) about the gospel of skincare ,but first the Basics. I have seen a lot of people not care about their skin and are not mindful of what they put on their skin ,some others just can't be bothered with a regular skincare routine ,some will say who has money for that one na ? Taking care of your skin doesn't have to be so expensive ,which is one of the reasons why I have put down a regular/basic  skincare routine . Hydration; constant intake of water causes the skin to look healthier and more supple ,it is recommended to take at least 8 glasses of water a day ,I have an app on my phone that reminds me to take water ,it does help the internal organs as well as the skin ,drinking more water is a first step in taking care of the skin .
