Battle of the Maybelline Fit Me foundations!

For the last year my favorite foundations have been the Benefit Play Sticks and the Benefit Hello Flawless oxygen wow!. For 2016, I want to find a drugstore foundation that lives up to these great products.


Full review of Maybelline Fit Me foundations. Dewy and Smooth and Shine-Free and Balance Stick.

I read various reviews and decided to try the Maybelline Fit Me line. I went for the dewy & smooth over the matte and poreless as I have found the matte foundations make my skin look really  dry and just haven't worked for my skin type. They also have a stick version which I hoped would live up to my Play Stick.

The dewy & smooth is fabulous! I apply it with a beauty blender which gives a much better finish than a foundation brush. I apply an extra coat around my chin, forehead and cheeks to fill in pores and cover any blemishes. 

This foundation evens my skin tone perfectly. It covers redness and blemishes, but doesn't look thick or caked on. I would say it is sheer to medium coverage but is buildable if you like a heavier look. I love the smell of this foundation too! It reminds me of baby powder.

The stick foundation is not as creamy as the Benefit version. I feel like it doesn't cover as well as the liquid version but is great for when I'm in a rush and don't need to look super flawless. I use a brush to apply which seems to work better than the beauty blender.

Overall the Fit Me range is a great drugstore alternative to high end foundations. I have previously used the concealer which has been compared to the Nars Creamy Concealer. I personally don't think it has the same formulation but it definitely covers to a similar standard.

Let me know if you want me to compare any other drugstore foundations! I am posting daily on Instagram, @thebeautytipple.

Have a beauty-full day!
