Maybelline Fit Me Powder Foundation

Ronettes — Fri, 08 May 2026 13:42:04 GMT

I realize Maybelline is not a high-end product, but I have tried so many foundations - liquid, mousse, serum, cream, stick, powder-to-cream, etc. They are either too thick, too shiny, too sheer, or settle in all the wrong places on mature skin, and end up being 'aging'.

I saw this Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Pressed Face Powder and decided to try it in my color, 120 Classic Ivory.

I used a brush to fluff it on very lightly and was amazed at the coverage and blurring effect it has.

For $9 I think this will be my foundation for the warm summer months!

Comes in a variety of shades including translucent, and is one of the best foundations I have come across yet. Also comes in a 'loose powder' version.

Thx @Ronettes. I have been looking for a light powder foundation and really don't want to pay a lot for one. This sounds like it fits the bill. I usually use Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer on a daily basis and the powder should be a perfect finisher when it's hot and humid.

@Desertdi - Yes, I have tried elf also, and it's a good general face powder.

The Maybelline powder has some type of 'blurring' effect that I have not come across in any other powder.

And it has a nice finish to it.

I am a big fan of Maybelline. I have not used FitMe but SuperStay powder and liquid foundation. I also use the Lifter stick, eraser concealer, and color tattoo eye stix. The Fuchsia for Me lipstick is a favorite.

I also use the 'Unstoppable' eye liner pencil in black, it's excellent and doesn't wear off, or irritate my eyes.

Maybelline products don't prompt any allergic reactions, at least not to me.

@Ronettes - I have been using that face powder for years. In fact, I just bought another one this week.

Maybelline Fit Me Powder Foundation has talc (first ingredient), unfortunately.

Re: Maybelline Fit Me Powder Foundation

Hmmm, even Clinique face powder lists 'talc' as their first ingredient.

And Clinique is the allergy friendly line.

@Ronettes

For the most part there's nothing wrong or bad about using talc. It's just, for me anyways, that it can be very drying on the skin so I avoid it.

And yet this Maybelline Fit Me Powder doesn't seem to be drying on my skin.

I can't tell you how many foundations I have tried, wasted so much money on high end, low end, drugstore brands, off brands, just everything, and have been so disgusted. I love Estee Lauder lipsticks and tried her liquid foundation, just wasn't for me.

I do like Laura Geller's baked foundation, and this Maybelline powder.

In fact I like Maybelline the best, unbelievably.

one of the best things about the forums, is getting new ideas and recs for products. Your review is appreciated. Personally I use a mix of higher end, mid range, and drugstore beauty. This particular powder sounds lovely

I agree, I so appreciate hearing the experiences of others, and about new products.

I have that powder in my stash, will have to revisit it. I have 2 shades and wasn't quite loving either one. I'm a light/medium slightly warm toned. 128 Warm Nude isn't bad but a touch too light. 220 Natural Beige is a bit too dark or muddy looking. .

I'm a big believer in drugstore products after trying so many high end ones that were not worth the hype or price. Am currently enjoying Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator in Light Medium. Available at mass merchants for $5-$6.

Thanks to the OP for reminding me of the Maybelline powder.

@Ronettes ive been using the Maybelline FIT powder for years. I use it as my finishing powder on top of CoverGirl Simply Ageless ( formerly called Age Defying) creme makeup with Oil of Olay.

I love it.

Thanks for the heads up on eyeliner!

@PinkyPetunia - Off topic, but I just named our newest kitten 'Petunia'!

She survived a wild pack of dogs attacking in the middle of the night, and I couldn't bear to part with her.

It's awesome when you find something like this No7 used to have an awesome pressed powder that I could wear just as foundation. Of course they changed it up and then discontinued it. A hidden gem of a product that I wish they had promoted more.

@Ronettes , I just came across the Fit Me Powder Foundation in my make-up drawer a few weeks ago. I had forgot about it and started wearing it again and was so impressed that I got another one about a week ago. I'm currently using the Translucent shade. At first it seems like it's way too light in color but then in blends in.
