Review Summary

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation has earned cult status as one of the best drugstore foundations, particularly for oily and combination skin. The lightweight formula provides natural-looking medium coverage that blurs pores and controls shine throughout the day. The matte finish helps minimize the appearance of pores while keeping oil at bay for hours. The foundation has a thin, spreadable texture that blends seamlessly into skin without looking cakey or heavy. The shade range has expanded significantly over the years, now offering 40 shades covering fair to deep skin tones. The foundation is oil-free and non-comedogenic, making it safe for acne-prone skin. For the affordable price point, the quality is exceptional—it performs as well as many mid-range foundations. However, the matte finish can look flat on dry skin and emphasize flakiness. Some shades oxidize slightly, so testing before purchasing is recommended. The glass bottle with pump is more luxurious than typical drugstore packaging, though the pump sometimes sticks. Despite minor issues, this is a reliable, affordable foundation that delivers consistent results for oily skin types.
