Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Review

After trying the powder and foundation from the same range I was desperate to try the concealer. I'd heard so many great things about this concealer and I couldn't wait to try it. I was lucky enough to find it in my local discount shop and it was in my shade (it must be fate) and it was a bargain at only £2.99.

I love the simple packaging of this although it is simple it has simple packaging to the Nars Creamy Concealer. Unlike the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer the writing seems to remain on the packaging so far.

The concealer is available in 6 shades which is pretty good for a drugstore brand. There is a quiz that you can do to find your shades. The quiz will tell you which shade you should buy in the concealer, foundation and powder. (link) I got the shade 15 Fair and it is a really good match for me. This concealer has a standard doe foot applicator that most concealers seem to have. 

The coverage that this offers is light- medium but it doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. This covers dark circles really well and it also brightens up the eye area which makes me look more awake. I don't use this concealer on my blemishes as I think that it is more suited to under eye circles. It blends really easily and it doesn't look cakey. I find that you really do need to set this one with a powder if you want it to last all day. 

I really like this concealer I have been using it nearly everyday to cover my under eye circles and so far I am really impressed with it. I am so glad that I picked it up. I love the Fit Me range as the colours match my skin really well and I recommend the whole range to you.

Maybelline Fit Me Powder Review

Yesterday, I reviewed the Fit Me Foundation and today I thought I would review the powder as well. I bought this powder at the same time as I got the foundation and I got the shade 110 Porcelain. 

As you can see from the above photo the powder is really finely milled, this is good because it is less likely to go cakey when you apply it on top of foundation. This sets foundation really well and makes the foundation look flawless. I have used this on top of the Fit Me foundation but I have used it on other foundations as well and it works really well. The powder is reasonably priced and I definitely recommend that you check this out.

The packaging is really good as it comes with a handy mirror and sponge (although I've never used the sponge). I do think though that the packaging is slightly too bulky for travelling but that is just a minor thing.

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

I got this foundation from Fragrance Direct as I had been wanting to try it for ages. I got the shade 110 Porcelain, which I have found to be an almost perfect colour match.

Unfortunately this foundation does not have a pump, however if you buy it in Boots or Superdrug it does have a pump. I like foundations that have pumps as I find that it is easier and less messier to get the product out. 

This is what the Boots website says 'Flawless. Lets the real you come through. Beyond Matching: Fresh, Breathing, Natural Skin. SPF 18' 

I like foundation that is offers light coverage and I try to make sure that I get a foundation which has SPF in it. This has SPF 18 which is unusal as most foundations I own seem to only have SPF 15. 

Now onto my thoughts of the product, as you can see from the swatches this foundation is very watery and without a pump it means I end up wasting a lot of product as I often pour too much out. When I first tried it I used my Real Techniques Buffing Brush which is what I use for all my foundation but I found that when I used it for this foundation it seemed to take ages to blend and it looked streaky once it had blended. After a couple more tries of using it with the brush I wrote it off as a bad foundation and put it back into my collection. It wasn't until I bought a makeup sponge from H&M that I thought I would try it again. The sponge is a dupe for the Beauty Blender but it is a fraction of the price at £1.99. When I used the sponge I instantly noticed a difference in the foundation, it blended easier and it didn't look streaky on my face. In fact my foundation looked flawless and I loved the way it looked on my skin. My experience shows that the tools used to apply foundation can make all the difference, a brush that is good for one foundation may not be the best for another.
