Maybelline Philippines Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation

I’ve been using the Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation for a while now, and honestly, I get why it’s so popular. The texture is super lightweight hindi siya mabigat or “cakey,” even after a few hours. It blends easily, and the shade range is actually pretty good, so mas madali makahanap ng match.

📋 My experience (Philippines conditions) Skin type & climate context: My skin is combination-oily (T-zone oily, cheeks normal), regular day-to-day at work (air-con indoors, humid outdoors). Results after application: Immediately: Pores looked blurred (especially on my cheeks and nose area), skin looked smoother and less shiny. Mid-day (4–5 hrs): Still looking good, slight shine beginning in the T-zone. Evening (~8 hrs): Slight increased shine, but no major breakdown or patchy fading; needed a blot/rescue powder but acceptable. Comfort: Felt comfortable, didn’t feel heavy or mask-like. Re-purchase? Yes — especially for everyday wear, errands, office. For special long outdoor sweaty events I might opt for a more heavy-duty long-wearing formula. 🎯 Who it’s best for 1. Normal to oily skin types (especially if you tend to get shine across the day). 2. Users who want a mid-price drugstore foundation with decent performance without going high-end. 3. People who prefer a matte but natural finish (not ultra-flat matte, not dewy/glowy) 👀 Final verdict Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless is a strong contender in the drugstore foundation category. It delivers what it claims: a natural matte look, pore-blurring effect, decent wear time for the price. While it may not match ultra-premium high-end long-wear foundations in extreme humidity or for very oily skin on hot days, for most everyday uses in Manila it performs very well. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars If I were to give a star breakdown: Finish & texture: ★★★★☆ Coverage & colour match: ★★★★☆ Wear / oil control: ★★★☆☆ (since some shine appears after many hours) Value for money: ★★★★★

I've been using this product for I think more than 7 years now, and I have no plans on switching to another type of foundation. This is the best one for me, even during those hot summer days, it really does give that coverage I need.

I use this only when I have events, but I don't know why it doesn't stay on my face for a long time. I do have oily skin, so I'm still figuring out how to keep it longer on my face since I really love this liquid foundation

The Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless is a game-changer for the Philippine climate I just started using it and it can genuinely keeps my oily T-zone shine-free all day, providing a flawless finish that never feels heavy or cakey. The formula actively minimizes the look of pores, making my skin appear incredibly smooth. It’s lightweight, and reliably survives the humid commute. The excellent shade range also made finding my perfect match easy! If you need a reliable, affordable foundation that conquers oil and heat, look no further. This is a must-have.
