Maybelline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Foundation in 110 Porcelain – Review

Two years ago I reviewed the Maybelline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Foundation in the shade 112 Natural Ivory and mentioned that maybe the shade 110 Porcelain would have been a better match for my neck. Last month I went and bought the shade 110 Porcelain, here are my thoughts…

Let’s start by comparing the two shades I have together (110 Porcelain vs 112 Natural Ivory).

Maybelline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Foundation 110 Porcelain vs 112 Natural Ivory

Both shades seem to be in the neutral range of things; they don’t seem to lean neither warm or cool. At least not to me. What do you think?

This is what the shade 110 Porcelain looks like on me. I applied it with a damp beauty sponge. Mug shot alert! 😛

The formula gives a pretty full coverage and gives me a blank canvas to work with. I usually apply this foundation with my fingers cause it doesn’t give as full a coverage as with a sponge, and I’m able to make it look normal after finishing my makeup routine, see below.

This shade does lean a teensy weensy bit on the cool side on me, but it’s so minimal that it’s almost not worth mentioning. I just felt I had to anyway. 😛

After all of that is said and done, I’m no longer a fan of this formula. It’s not the colour that’s the issue, but the finish. I find it clings too much to my fine lines and wrinkles and makes them stand out, even with primer, and that’s definintely not what I’m looking for in a foundation.

Having combination skin I’ve always sought out mattifying products, but now I need something that will make me look normal, not older, and I find this one ages me.

What’s your go-to foundation and what kind of finish does it have?
