I was super disappointed in this product. After all the rave reviews and demos - I tried it, but I can confidently say that I will not be repurchasing it.
In fact I never wear it on its own and only use it as a mixer. First off - the shade selection is so bad. It jumps from ghost to oompa loompa and there are no inbetween shades for fair to medium skin tones.
Then it literally has no coverage and you have to use a ton to get a medium to full coverage. It is also glowy AF and I have no idea why everyone claims that it's matte???
It also does not control oil for longer then 2 hours. I think it is meant for dry skin and I am sure it would work well on that skin type only.
I like that it's affordable, but there are other affordables that are way less disappointing to me.

I have combination skin so the formulation worked well for me. It mattifies without drying but you have to work quickly because it dries pretty fast. My only real issue is not being able to find my perfect shade because the range isn't very extensive.

I had heard so many reviews of the foundation online I was very excited to purchase the product when it arrived in South Africa. I was slightly disappointed by the packaging as it was different from the glass bottle I saw online but nonetheless I was still excited to try the product.
The best part of the foundation is that it doesn't feel as though you have applied make up on your face. It's great for a natural look. It doesn't give full coverage but you can build up on it if you're looking for more cover up. This foundation is definitely worth the price.
If like this product you will probably like the Maybeline Mousse foundation. It has the same natural feeling & it's great for oily skin.

I finally got around to buying this foundation, reading all the reviews I had to try it.. Hmm I'm a little disappointed to be honest because the coverage is not great but on the other hand it's ok for an everyday look as it gives a natural look.. It certainly isn't matte though but rather gives a velvety feel.. The consistency is quite liquidy, I have a bb cream that's thicker... However it does apply well...
If you need light coverage as well as a natural and Dewey look then this is it...

The price of this product is unbelievable! It applies on the skin so smoothly and blends so effortlessly. It doesn’t wear all day though , it does wear down and it’s not really a matte finish but a velvet finish . But for the price you can’t beat it

Flawless skin! I have dry skin that's also very sensitive but I gave this foundation a try and i'm glad i did. Its very light on the skin and doesn't over dry nor irritate my skin, LOVE it!
I cleanse and moisturize my face as usual. Apply the Fit me! foundation to cover those blemishes on days that i need to go out and use the Fit me Press Powder to finish my natural look, stays for the whole day. Love it

I am a dark skin girl. The dark shade I got had a red undertone making the foundation appear darker especially during winter. Was not as matte as I expected.
It is affordable ideal for a starting make-up wearer.

I bought this product because of the reviews I read saying how good it is for the price, but was slightly disappointed with the product. The product oxidised on my skin, leaving me with a slightly grey tint, and had quite a light coverage. However, they do come in a range of colours and if used with a powder, lasts for hours.

This foundation retails for about R99. I think this absolutely great and really affordable. I love the consistently of this foundation. It was watery constancy and works great with a beauty blender type sponge. I would say that the coverage is medium - which is great if you don't like heavy looking foundation. It is definitely light on the skin. You will need to apply powder to set it to allow it to last extra longer as it is watery and will wipe of easier if you like to touch your face a lot. I have been through two bottles of this foundation and will continue purchasing it. I purchased my first in England in the shade 105 which was okay for the winter (Paler skin). My second bottle I purchased on Zando and got 120 which is a tab to dark for me but I still manage to make it work.
Definitely worth giving this product a try!

This foundation feels so light and soft on my skin. It also blends perfectly with my light skin tone (Classic Ivory 120). It doesn't offer heavy coverage, so a concealer is needed for some spots and blemishes. I only wish that it had a pump, which would have been much less messy and more economical.

I've wanted to try this for ages and finally I did. I've been using this for about 2 weeks now. My colour is 230 - Natural Buff which makes my skin tone perfectly.
I have combination to oily skin and would NOT recommend this foundation to those ladies who are prone to oiliness by 10am by forehead was an oil slick. I have to use my Clinique City Block Oil Free Protector which works as a primer to control oil production during the day otherwise I look all shiny which is not a good lool.
Other than that its a great foundation. I don't set it with powder but I will probably get a translucent one come payday. I do agree with Liezel below that a pump would probably have been wise which is strange considering Maybelline's other foundations have pumps. I just give it a shake and lightly pour some on the back of my hand. The price is very good but I will probably not buy this as its just not for my skin type.
