The minute Maybelline India announced the launch of the new Fit Me range on
their Instagram page, I missed a heartbeat. I rang up Goodwill, Central, and Health and Glow (Beauty Suppliers, Cochin), and all of them gave me the same standard reply "Mostly next week, we will have the product in-stock". When I went
in to buy some antibiotics at the LULU Medical shop, I found the whole new range of
Fit Me stacked carefully on their racks. I couldn't contain my excitement and gave away my hyena laugh. The SAs couldn't understand why I was so excited about this new foundation.

Cost: INR 525 ($7.5)
Packaging:
- Sleek with a glass bottle and black screw-on cap.
- Doesn’t come with a pump leading to wastage of product.
- Shade name and number is printed on the cap.
- Very easy to blend (I use RT foundation brush).
- Medium to buildable coverage.
- Applies demi-matte (satin).
- Does not transfer like crazy.
- Does not feel oily on touch like MAC Face and Body.
- Gives a light white cast (ashiness) around my mouth (pigmentation) as the shade Warm honey has a pink undertone.
Wear Test:
- It does transfer to my glasses.
- After around 5 hours, the product starts fading from points where I get dewy the most, like, tip of my nose, forehead etc.
- I am impressed by the product's ability to keep my natural oils under control.
- Matte action is on-par with MAC Studio Fix Fluid.
- As for the pore filling abilities, I couldn’t find much difference, I have small pores along my nose, which didn’t disappear on application.

I didn't even know there's a matte range for Fit Me! Not sure if this is in Malaysia, but I might pop into a pharmacy soon and find out. I have feeling that the number of shades available would be terrible - as usual!
The thing is, the original Fit Me made me break out a little but me being the sucker that I am, I know I'd still try this one if they have a good match for my skin tone! Always on a foundation hunt, aren't we all...
