My post back in
September on Maybelline's upcoming Fit Me has been getting a lot of readers. I only had the basic info then but now have finally tried the products and have seen several of the colorway choices.
To re-cap ,Fit Me is all about skin tone matching shades across all products in the line. There are 18 shades of foundation, 6 concealers, 12 blushes and 3 bronzers. Something for everyone and every skintone. Shades numbers begin in the 100s for lightest and go to 300s for darkest.
Once you find the shade for you in foundation, to get the right powder and concealer, simply pull from the row that contains that number.
Now that you know that, what are the products like ? I was able to try a pre-selected group of the line recently.
Fit Me Foundation ( $ 7.99) is weightless and light. It's light to medium coverage, dewy and natural looking . There are no waxes or oils according to Maybelline, which is good. The shade shown is 110 and is a bit too pale for me , but not by much. I can wear it but one shade up to 115 would be perfect. I think it's best for normal to dry skin . Us oily skins can wear it now but maybe not come warmer weather.
The blush ( $ 5.51) that suited me best of what I tried was Deep Nude. Light Nude matches my shade also but was very light on me and less than I like ( it came off as a soft wash, nice, but I like a little contour). Deep Nude is shown and is not dark at all but more medium. Depending on how pale you are and how much blush you like, you can tweak here. All the nudes are nice and none are super dark.
Fit Me Powder ( $ 7.99) is again , light and feels soft on skin. No heavy, cakey feeling. Shown is 120 which confirmed for me that I am shade 115 as this was the tiniest bit darker than I needed. The puff is in a lower compartment in the compact for no contamination and easy storage.
Fit Me Concealer ( $ 6.49) is creamy and blendable but like all the others a light feeling product. It has good coverage and dries to a powder soft finish.
I find the shown shade 10 to actually be darker than the foundation 110 and too dark for me, so know that the concealers might run dark.
Fit Me Bronzer might be favorite of all in this line. It's not easy to find a pale girl bronzer but thats just what Light Bronze ( shown ) is. Just nice wash of golden color to warm you up. More gold and beige than bronze.
I also have many shades in the deeper 300 category, so they are shown here in the lower image . Not all of us are pale and this gives you an idea of what other shades there are.
I see many people wondering what shades will look good on them and for them, this is a great idea. No guessing. Just buy all in your shade number and you have a full set of makeup. If you consider yourself makeup challenged, give it a try.
Fit Me is also a nice starting point for those wearing makeup for the first time. Teens can get makeup that will look good, but natural and not overdone on them and not have to guess what they need and get shades 3 times too dark. We've all been there.
and also at Barneys.
