Hello people
Things that can be hard to find: four-leaf clovers, true love, Bigfoot and blushes that deliver a natural cheek flush. This spring Maybelline intends to make one of them easier to find with Fit Me, their new line of blushes, foundations, concealers, powders and bronzers designed to simplify the process of finding your perfect shade.
To further streamline the process, the product names are short and sweet. For the blushes, for instance, instead of cutesy monikers, Maybelline went with simple, straight forward names like “Light Pink” and “Medium Mauve.”

Judging by these four shades, sheer is the name of this game. I don’t see a ton of pigment of here. I had to build up these swatches to accurately convey the colors, but on my cheeks these blushes don’t look anywhere near as intense. With them I have to use several layers to achieve the flushed look I like, and even the darkest color, Deep Rose, takes three.
But they are easy to blend due to how sheer they are, and that’s a positive. I also like that the powders aren’t grainy.
As for the packaging of the blushes, it’s fairly sturdy plastic, but I find the cases difficult to open (I actually chipped a nail on one, boo!). And the brush Maybelline included isn’t gonna win any awards; it doesn’t apply color evenly.
On the plus side, the blushes I tested today did last a good, long while. About eight hours, so there’s that.
