Review: Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation

As I constantly say, finding a liquid foundation that would match my skin tone here in Japan is quite a challenge for me. Maybe this time I’d say that I’ve found something that would solve the issue, only it’s not a Japanese brand. Don Quijote carries this brand and it’s where I purchased this about a month ago or so. First off, let me tell you about my skin condition for the time being.

1. acne-prone (no zits at the moment)
2. oily (sometimes) & dehydrated
3. with reddish and dark acne marks
4. large pores
5. uneven skin tone
6. dull & rough

With these concerns in mind, I’d love to get my hands on a liquid foundation that can at least blur my impurities. I’m not really a fan of heavy coverage base because I feel like it’s not good for my skin that’s prone to pimples and I still want my skin to peep through.

Features

1. A lightweight foundation that mattifies and refines pores and leaves a natural, seamless finish.
2. Ideal for normal to oily skin
3. This matte foundation formula features micro-powders to control shine and blur pores.
4. Dermatologist tested
5. Allergy tested
6. Non-comedogenic
7. Pump bottle type

Pros

1. Compared to my previous liquid foundation, this one is closer to my tone. Notice the difference in the photo below.

2. I only use a little of it and it’s definitely lightweight in that sense.
3. It can blur my reddish and dark acne marks.
4. It can also refine my large pores a bit.
5. My skin tone appears even with this.
6. Leaves a natural finish.
7. Doesn’t cause pimples.
8. Quick to dry and blendable (I apply it on my face with a brush and finish everything up with a dry triangular sponge.)
9. Easy to dispense

Cons

1. Not transfer-proof
2. It creases (when you take a very close look) when not topped with a setting powder.
3. Can control shine but not for a long time.

   As you can see, it gives me more pros than cons, so I didn’t regret buying this one. I might repurchase if I can’t find something a little bit better than this.
   Have you used this? How’s your experience?
