Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Pressed Powder

A micro-powder pressed compact that mattifies without the flat, chalky finish of heavier setting powders, and blurs the look of pores rather than settling into them. It is the single most useful makeup product to own in Dhaka's humidity: a light press over the T-zone at midday resets the whole face. Works set over the matching Fit Me foundation or worn alone on bare skin for light coverage. Shade names run to the same numbers as the foundation line, so they match.

Press -- do not sweep -- with a powder puff or a dense brush, concentrating on the forehead, nose and chin. Sweeping drags the foundation underneath. For touch-ups, blot the oil away with a tissue first, then powder; powdering on top of oil is what causes the cakey patches.

Ingredient lists are transcribed from the packaging of the batch we hold. Manufacturers reformulate — always read the carton you receive, and patch test if you react easily.

Check the shade name or number together with the batch code. Both are printed on the base of the pack on a genuine unit, and the batch code matches the one on the outer carton. The seal should be intact, the printing crisp rather than blurred or slightly off-register, and the pack should close cleanly and evenly. Weight and finish are a good second check — a genuine compact feels solid and the hinge has no play in it. We photograph every unit as it arrives and record its batch code and expiry from the carton, so the item you receive is the one we checked. If anything does not match, send us photographs before you use it and we will sort it out with you.
