Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Poreless Foundation on Dark Skin

I recently purchased the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation and decided to give it a shot. I have what I believe to be oily skin, but my friends think I don't. I choose to agree to disagree with my friends. I feel my skin is combination but I'm not overly oily.

I purchased my this foundation in shade 355/Coconut. I was a little afraid to use it because it looked so orange and too light against my shade of brown skin, but I took a leap of faith and gave it a whirl!

So, I first tried this foundation on my birthday and then again on a work day. My work friends, who enjoy makeup just as much as I do informed me the shade appeared to be an appropriate match. I'm still on the fence; however, other than the shade, I have no complaints on this foundation. My skin was not too dry after application (I wore this all day), and I did not experience any oiliness at all. On my lips I am wearing Bite Beauty dual lipstick in the shade of fig. 

Even though I didn't really think the shade was my tone, only because where I live, they don't offer too many shades for darker skin tones, the price was low enough that I did not feel I wasted my money. I think I spent $7.99 or $8.99 at my local Walgreens. Overall, I'll give it a B+!!

Until next time my friends,

The opinions in this review are my own!!! 

This is one of my first Kevyn Aucoin purchases. I've been wanting to buy something from this line for a long time. I've seen many of my favorite YouTube makeup artists talk about this line. I was also gifted his book, Making Faces, by a coworker. I am not a makeup artist, but I am a serious makeup enthusiast. Beautylish.com has been my vehicle for getting my hands on a number of products I would not have normally purchased. I purchased three products from the Kevyn Aucoin line: this lipstick, the curling mascara, and the skin enhancer (concealer). I'm only discussing the lip color.

The Keyvn Aucoin the Matte LipColor is a true matte lipstick which I love. It applies easily and smooth. I have nothing negative to say about this lip color. I love the color everlasting. The only difficulty in selecting a color on beautylish.com is not knowing if the color will work with your complexion. Beautylish attempts to assist in color matching by providing pics of two women of obviously different ethnicities. Sometimes one of the ethnic girls is real dark skinned and sometimes there is one of a lighter skin tone. It really is a true test to order and getting a good match. I believe I found a good match on this try!

I do recommend this lipstick. I would also recommend this color. I think it will look beautiful on all skin tones! The price for this is right at $33. 

Until next time my friends!!
