Maybelline Fit Me Set + Smooth Powder, Classic Ivory

I picked up the Maybelline Fit Me! pressed powder on a whim on one of my trips to the pharmacy. I had heard a lot of good things about  Maybelline's Fit Me! range and my curiosity got the best of me so I bought the pressed powered in Buff Beige 125. The compact powder comes in a square compact with two layers, the top layer is for the powder and the bottom one for the puff applicator with a mirror built-in. I'm not too fond of the puff applicator and have replaced it with a stubby dense brush to touch up on the go. At home I just use my powder brush to apply the pressed powder. I can see shimmery bits in the powder pan when catches the light at a certain angle but for me the shimmer doesn't transfer onto my face. I usually apply the powder on after moisturising and priming for a natural look when I'm just going out to the grocery store or somewhere casual. Otherwise, I use the powder to set my foundation if I'm going to work or out somewhere special. Either way the powder lasts longer if I layer on face primer beforehand. If I don't apply face primer I have to touch up every 2-3 hours and that's not usually ideal when I'm on the go.The Fit Me! powder is not as finely milled as more high end powders but its lightweight, blends well, and doesn't settle into creases. I have combo to oily skin and this mattes out my t zone without sinking into my pores or looking cakey. I have a cool neutral skin tone and 125 is just the perfect shade for me, neither pink nor yellow. It matches my neutral cool skin tone perfectly when applied and is build-able if I want heavier coverage.For the low price I think Maybelline's Fit Me! powder is an excellent pressed compact powder for anyone on a budget. ProsBlends well Controls shine Covers well Easy to apply Lightweight Doesn't settle into creases Cons Not as finely milled as higher end powdersPowder puff applicator is so so

I use this product regularly to set my foundation, i have it in the corresponding foundation 120 ivory normal to dry skin,  which was so easy to find my colour! I agree it sets and smooths as the name suggests, powder puff and mirror i never use but sure it would come in handy for touch ups during the day if needed but i don't find i need it. Leaves skin smooth, soft and not cakey!!! Great product for everyday, even for 30+ age groups.
