is Fit me foundation a perfect fit?

Hi everyone!
I'm back and today I have a new drug store goodie to review for you courtesy of Influenster. I was recently sent the Maybelline Fit me foundation via influenster complimentary to test out and give my honest opinion on. I was super excited to have the opportunity to review this product because I have heard a lot of great buzz in the makeup community on it and really wanted to see for myself what all the hype was about.

First off, I want to put out there that this foundation has a really amazing shade range that offers a wide variety of darker tones. Seriously, look at the display next time you are out shopping and you will see what I mean, it's impressive! This being said, because the shade range is so vast it can be difficult to accurately shade match without actually going to the store and seeing all the shades in front of you. I know a lot of people who recieved this particular voxbox, myself included were sent shades that were significantly darker than they actually are, or some were sent shades that were to light. Usually the process in online questionnaires for shade matching involves asking what color you would pick based on those presented to you and possibly your undertone. While typically this would be easy in selecting foundations from other lines, the vast selection in this particular foundation makes it a bit difficult. I would normally find myself selecting a natural beige in pretty much any foundation, however that end of the color spectrum in the fit me foundation line runs significantly darker, so I actually find myself selecting a creamy beige shade instead which comes out of the first handful of colors available.

My overall thoughts on how this product wears and apply are positive. I really love that you can easily build up the coverage level without looking a hot mess, and that the weight feels like nothing once applied. It dries down to a skin like matte finish which requires no powder. It does not cling to any dryness you may have going on either. All in all I really love the look and feel!
I will say I do wish it came with a pump though because I dislike having to put the product on the back of my hand or my fingers in order to apply it. I feel like it wastes product that way. With having to put the product on my hand to apply it, I did wash my hand after, and ended up having to wash it about 5 times with soap in order to get the product off. This may be a good early indication of how this product will perform against humid conditions!
