Swatch maybelline fit me foundation shades12/29/2023 ![]() Some of these colors look a bit deceiving.ģ38 Spicy Brown: brown with golden undertonesģ40 Cappuccino: this is lighter in color than 338-it’s almost the color of coffee when you put maybe put like one and a half teaspoon of cream in it. I’m typically really good at eyeballing foundations, but it took me quite a bunch of eyeballs to get these. There aren’t any shade or undertone descriptions on the Maybelline site, so here are my own: ![]() I could get a separate pump to use if I were to use this as my regular foundation. I did find it annoying that this is an open spout type of bottle, but hey, they were $5 each…lol. I liked that Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless looked like second-skin (if my second skin was matte…lol) yet provided enough coverage to cover my dark spots (although not completely, but good enough) and some natural discoloration in my face. No biggie-I’m treating it and once it’s gone I’ll share what I used. So I’d get a pimple, it’d go away and leave a dark spot and then not too long after that I’d get a pimple in the SAME spot followed by another dark spot. I currently have the worst bout of hyperpigmentation I’ve had in like ten years due to some hormonal acne that kept popping up in the SAME spots (grrrr). But the performance in 50 degree rainy weather was pretty good-I had some shine but nothing I would really need to touch-up unless I was having my photo taken. I loved the performance and wear although I could expect to touch-up a few times during the day if I were to wear this in warmer weather. Obviously this will vary on everyone depending on pore size-mine aren’t very visible/apparent. It also made my pores look airbrushed-in a good way…lol. It IS winter (albeit it was about 50 degrees the day I tested it out) so I figured it would look a bit too matte for me because although I have oily skin, it can be a bit on the drier side in NYC winter, but as I wore it longer running errands (in the rain) and my natural oils started doing their thing, it definitely looked less matte-more of a natural finish and had this been a better skin tone match, it would look like I had nothing on at all. I could make it work better by either doing my typical highlight and contour or by adding in a few drops of the NYX Pro Foundation Mixer to alter the color.Īt first when I put it on it was kinda like “WOW this is MATTE,” like it was almost a bit too matte for me so I only lightly set it with powder ( Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder). Shade 360 in the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation definitely applies a bit darker than it appears but it still looked a smidgen off in color. And then sometimes you have to get a different shade. Sometimes depending on the foundation the difference is negligible and even though it LOOKS lighter, it winds up working out on your skin tone. (See which shades I wear in other brands here) Sometimes the water content in one formula can make a shade look darker than the “same” shade in another formula. I’m shade 360 in the original Maybelline Fit Me Foundation but shade 360 in the matte is slightly lighter which can happen with brands that have different foundation formulas. I picked up the four shades in the darker end of the spectrum (via Amazon-and they were only about $5.25 each-this SAME foundation in my neighborhood could easily be $8-10). ![]() Recently eight new shades were added to the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation rang bringing the range total to 24 shades.
