In this article, we will delve into the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation. Originally, the Fit Me line focused solely on this dewy formula. Following the launch of their Matte + Poreless option, the Dewy + Smooth foundation received a fresh packaging update. While the previous design featured a convenient pump, the new version lacks this, which may pose usability challenges.
The claims of the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth foundation include:
“ – This revitalized Fit Me foundation presents the same excellent hydrating formula with a new look!
– Hydrates and enhances skin texture while seamlessly matching your natural tone for a radiant finish.
– Designed for Normal to Dry Skin. SPF 18*
– The Fit Me! Dewy + Smooth foundation goes beyond merely matching skin tones by addressing the unique texture concerns of normal to dry skin for the most natural appearance.
– Unlike some foundations that may highlight dry patches, this hydrating and moisturizing foundation is formulated with a hydra-smoothing concentrate, delivering a beautifully smooth finish.
– Dermatologist and allergy tested; it is oil-free and non-comedogenic.”
As indicated by its name, the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth foundation is specifically formulated for individuals with Normal to Dry skin. It offers an extensive selection of 16 shades that accommodate a range of undertones — warm, cool, and neutral — ensuring there’s a match for every skin type. Should you find your ideal shade missing or mismatched, blending different shades together can create a custom color. The foundation has a liquid texture that allows for easy application across the face. Although Maybelline recommends applying it with fingers, I personally find that using a beauty blender or brush results in a more airbrushed look.
The coverage offered by this foundation ranges from light to medium, with the ability to build up for a more polished look. I personally use shade 220 Natural Beige, which appears slightly darker for my MAC NC30 skin tone, but once blended correctly, it looks very natural. It doesn’t sit atop the skin; instead, its hydrating qualities allow it to meld in well. However, contrary to its claims, it can cling to dry patches, so I recommend proper exfoliation and moisturizing before application. Additionally, it does not assist with the appearance of large pores; therefore, a pore-minimizing primer is advisable for smoother results.
This foundation provides decent longevity, approximately 5-6 hours, with extended wear possible when paired with a makeup-setting primer and powder. With its hydrating properties, SPF 18, and light to medium coverage, it can function similarly to a BB Cream, depending on the method of application. The finish is notably dewy, imparting a healthy glow.
You may appreciate this product if:
– You are in search of a foundation or BB cream.
– You prefer even coverage coupled with a dewy finish.
– You desire a lightweight feel on the skin.
– You value a broad shade selection.
– You prefer formulations that offer SPF protection.
You might want to consider alternatives if:
– You prefer to avoid parabens.
– You are concerned about potential flashback in photos due to SPF 18.
For anyone struggling to find a foundation that works well with dry skin, I would highly recommend giving this one a try, as it has proven to be one of the finest options available that caters to such skin types.
