Packaging

It comes in a transparent glass bottle without a pump. The is not bulky or huge. A pump packaging would have been better though.

Texture & Smell

The texture of the foundation is very velvet. It glides very smoothly on the skin. Blends effortlessly. The smell is weird but does not linger for long. Its consistency is quite runny.

I quite like its texture, consistency & the coverage it provides. It glides on my skin and covers the acne spots effortlessly. I don’t feel the need to use a separate concealer after wearing this.

Skin Type

I have oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. It never gave me breakouts. I have worn this foundation during hot summer days. It is not entirely lightweight, but my face does not sweat.

Coverage

The coverage is build-able, but you have to wait for a few minutes before the first layer settles down. Once it’s settled, it does not transfer, which is a huge plus point for a foundation. Hence it also lasts long on the face. The final finish is quite natural unlike Lakme absolute Foundation, which is little cakey.

I am not fond of the smell of the foundation, but I can bear it, as it does not linger for long.

Staying Power

This foundation really lasts long. It can survive Delhi’s heat and sweat. It does not transfer or sweat once set. The foundation does not oxidize. Hence the coverage and the color stays the same from day till night.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Pore Less Foundation Nude Beige 125

The latest shade from this range in my collection is Nude Beige 125. I have used most of the Wheatish shades from the range and also tried the first dark shade. I am so in love with the pigmentation, formula and staying power of this range, I keep on hoarding it even after 2 years of its launch. It’s one foundation that you must own if you need coverage while looking the most natural/ This range is ideal for ‘no makeup look’

The shade, Nude Beige 125, contains a little bit of Pink undertones and some Yellow undertones. It can be used for medium skin tones and Wheatish complexion. When I wear this shade, I feel it looks a bit ashy, because it has pink hints. But another person might not even notice it. It photographs very well though. It gives pore-less finish if blended well.

I blend the foundation using my fingers and I face no issue regarding coverage. It gives medium coverage and covers small acne scars. I use LA Girl Pro Conceal in Creamy Beige Concealer to conceal my dark circles and other huge scars.

Price: Retails at INR 500 for 30ml.  Buy at Amazon .

Being affordable is another plus point of this foundation range, especially when you have such a vast range to choose from. The range is available widely offline and online so that you can choose your shades wisely.
