In the past couple months; it seems like drugstore brands have been on a complete roll, launching one product after another in India. And it’s surprisingly refreshing to see a new product that is other than a lipstick. So dear ol’ Maybell ine recently launched a ton of cool makeup products in India from foundation to shimmer compact to blushes and what not
The Maybelline Fit Me foundation isn’t exactly a new launch as it was launched abroad over a year ago, if you’re into watching makeup tutorials on YouTub e, you’d know. But it definitely is a new launch in India. So if you’re interested in knowing how this foundation fared for me, keep reading! They are also out with Fit Me compact powder, Fit Me concealer and Fit Me blushes in corresponding shades to make shade selection easier.
Shades Available: Maybelline Fit Me vs MAC foundations
115 Ivory: NW20-25
128 Warm Nude: NC30-35
230 Natural Buff: MAC NC35-37
310 Sun Beige: MAC NC40-42

330 Toffee Caramel: NC45
My Review of Maybelline Fit me Matte + Poreless Foundation:
The Maybelline Fit me foundation comes in a glass bottle with a black cap. Aesthetic and sleek looking, I must say. The only downside about the packaging is that it doesn’t come with a pump packaging. instead, the fit me foundation has to be poured out from the bottle straight which I find a bit clumsy and time consuming to be honest. Also, it’s something that definitely leads to a bit of product wastage too. But if you’re okay with such a packaging or if you get the hang of it, I’m sure it won’t be such a problem.
Coming to the texture, the maybelline foundation is definitely very smooth and lightweight. It doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a foundation at all, it is that
I like to apply this fit me matte + poreless foundation with my Real Techniques blending sponge and it gives a very nice, almost-air bushed finish. The maybelline Fit Me foundation comes in about 6 different shade options and the shade I bought is 310 Sun Beige which almost matches my skin tone perfectly. The reason it gives such a flawless finish is because the shade is, if not exactly, the almost similar to my skin tone. It hides imperfections well and gives a smooth finish. This 310 sun beige foundation definitely stands true to its claims of being a “poreless foundation” as it really hides the pores by covering them instead of sitting in them. It also evens out fines lines on the skin.
The Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation stays on me for 6-8 hours and keeps my face matte and shine-free. It doesn’t make my skin dry like I’ve experienced with a lot of other foundations in the past that claim of being “mattifying”. I hate to layer up my face with one product after another so I prefer to skip a compact powder when I’m wearing this fit me matte foundation and still this one keeps my face matte for good 5+ hours. Honestly, I didn’t expect this fit me poreless foundation to be as great as I now think it is. It has definitely become my Holy Grail drugstore foundation and I can’t wait to go through this one and re-purchase it.
Price in India: Rs.525
VNA Rating: 4.5/5
Where to Buy Online in India: amazon.in
Conclusion: I absolutely love this foundation and recommend it to everyone with oily sin. It is a great option from the drugstore, stays matte and keeps skin shine free for over 5 hours.

No no.. actually amazon is selling the imported from USA wala foundation... now that it has officially launched in India, why would we buy that 1550 one. LOL
Great foundation at such an affordable price. Maybelline is real champ :)
totally :D
The finish and pay off it gives is incomparable as a drugstore brand. Totally worth the hype :)
Hey Trisha,
This is a really good review. I am so glad you compared it to the MAC Shades.
For some reason, the foundation looks really light in the pictures than the actual swatches online. Is it because of the lighting?
Than you
I'm NC42, should I get 310 or 322? :(
i know so tough! if you have a lot of yellow then 322 otherwise 310
Does sun beige 310 suit fair oily skin tone with little yellow undertones?
