Now that the summer weather is here I figured I'd give a new foundation a try. I picked up the Matte and Poreless a couple of months ago, but it was a bit too dark (it oxidizes on me) so now that I've been tanning just a teeny tiny bit, the colour matches perfectly.
I'm not oily--I consider my skin to be normal, and get a bit dry in the winter and a little oily in the warmer months.
I used my Beauty Blender to apply it on non-primed skin, and it blended really easily. The coverage is light-to-medium, but can be built up. It did fill my pores in a little, but not enough to be considered poreless. It gave me a very pretty matte finish, and I didn't set it with powder.
The lasting finish wasn't the greatest, however. Within 1-2 hours, my skin was dewy; not what I would call oily, but it definitely had a bit of shine. It ended up just looking like the original FitMe looked, which isn't terrible, I lived in that foundation last year, but when a product says it mattifies I expect it to do just that. And this doesn't. I can't imagine anyone with oily skin (and let's face it, that's the demographic that this product is catered towards) having a good experience with this. Setting it with powder would definitely be beneficial.
Overall, I do like the foundation, and I'll use it, but I think I'll prime my face first, to help the whole "poreless" claim, and keep some blotting papers handy. On days that aren't humid.
My next foundation purchase will be the L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte. THAT is supposed to be incredible. My fingers are cramping, they're crossed so hard.
