FIT me! Maybelline New York Foundation Review

Well Hello There! :)

While in Superdrug foundation caught my eye due to its sleek bottle design - so I had to have it.


It's a beautiful glass bottle, with minimal writing over it, (and what is there can easily be peeled off).
The bottle holds 30ml and priced at £7.99, it's a good little bargain.

My skin is naturally very dry, and before purchasing I was worried that it may make my skin appear worse, but so far everything has been fine.
Application wise, it spreads beautifully, I've been using a buffer brush to apply it as i'm not a fan of foundation brushes, and it spreads really well. Not that much foundation is needed.

I got it in the shade 120 - classic ivory which has undertones of yellow, which if I had done my research I would have known, but I didn't. My skin has pink undertones therefore the colour doesn't match exactly, however I am going to try it in the shade 115, ivory - because I am pretty pleased with it for a high street brand.

Here comes the slight downside...
After applying it in the morning, then going about my day once it comes to about 3/4pm most of it has rubbed off, even after setting it with powder. Now, this ain't good although it does depends what your day consists of, for the average school/uni/work day, most don't mind a slight break from work to retouch their make-up.

Overall conclusion, i'd give it a 6.5/10. I just feel that a 7 would be to high, but a 6 too low. I am going to repurchase it in shade 115 and see how that goes so I will update with that in a few months.

Any queries, please comment =D
