What they flagged

High alcohol content may trigger more oil production

What the gurus are saying

The high denatured alcohol (a fifth ingredient) creates a split: it risks boosting sebum production, problematic for acne-prone skin. Yet makeup professionals praise the matte, non-cakey finish and velvety, lasting wear for those with oily skin, with smooth glide and all-day hold. Those prone to breakouts may want to avoid it; those with oily skin find strong, lasting performance worth choosing.

"What they did is they put denatured alcohol as a fifth ingredient, very high up, and [...] denatured alcohol is a big problem for acne-prone skin, it actually encourages more sebum production. On the positive side, it's got good blurring powders and a strong shade range, and it's fragrance-free, which is unusual. [...] My verdict on this is that they've put performance ahead of formulas that are safe for acne, so it's not one that I'm going to recommend for you."

"One of the new products I wanted to try was the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless pressed powder. This is the translucent one. I've used the Fit Me loose powders in the past but they have a little bit of coverage, and I just wanted to see what a more translucent powder would look like."

"The matte and poreless formula feels matte but not thick and cakey, glides really smoothly. It wears really well, stays kind of velvety throughout the day, and works really nice if you have more oily skin. It's one of the few drugstore foundations that doesn't look thick or cakey if you have oily skin, it still really glides, and it lasts all day long without breaking down and getting weird."

"Not only is the shade match so perfect that I don't need mixing pigments or a different shade, it looks super natural on me. People compliment my skin, not the makeup, when I wear this. That's huge. If you prime well and use setting spray, it will even last through a quick workout and cooking up a storm in a hot kitchen. It's also a lot more affordable compared to most of my foundations, so I don't feel guilty going through it so quickly. The quality and price cannot be beat."

"This Maybelline Fit Me one can be used by itself, and then a translucent powder would be better. The Maybelline Fit Me isn't a powder foundation, but it does have coverage. [...] Our powders, if we have a foundation like the Maybelline Fit Me foundation, the fluid, which has enough coverage already, you can build it up. You then don't need to go in with a powder with coverage."

"I'm gonna go in with a translucent powder, I believe this one is the Maybelline Fit Me matte and poreless powder. It doesn't really have coverage, all it does is just make sure that my skin stays mattified and doesn't get too greasy or oily."
