New Maybelline Matte Maker Mattifying Powder

Hello!

So, I bought the new Maybelline powder the other day purely because I am a massive fan of their Fit Me powder. I rarely try out new powders as the Fit Me powder has always been amazing for my skin - it makes my foundation last forever, mattifys my skin and make my skin feel really smooth. So when I saw they'd released a new powder for the price of £3.99, I decided to pick it up to see if it compared with the Fit Me powder which retails at £5.99.

I've worn this powder for the past couple of days now and all I can say is wow. It really does make my skin look flawless. I thought I couldn't get better than Fit Me but this really makes my skin look perfect (not meaning to sound big-headed, I hate my skin at the best of times!)

I use it with my elf powder brush (fave brush ever btw) which really helps get the product into my skin. It has lasted me throughout the day and I only had to touch up once when usually, I'm dabbing at my skin all the time to get rid of shine which is something I get conscious of! 

The packaging is just standard plastic packaging with a lid that lifts off - kinda basic and not exactly luxurious but who cares for £3.99?! It does the job and I often feel good make-up products can be by-passed just because they don't always look amazing. Don't judge a book by it's cover, right?! 

I really recommend picking up this powder if you like a matte finish - it does the job without making your face look cakey and leaves a really lovely silky feel on the skin.

Here's a couple of pictures. I'm wearing L'oreal True Match in N1 Ivory along with the Matte Maker powder and a spot of Collection 2000 blush in Bashful. On my lips I have on Clinique Joli Rouge lipstick in 712 Baby Rose. I don't have anything on my eyes apart from Rimmel Scandal Eyes Nude Eyeliner in 005 as they're feeling rather sore today!

Has anyone else tried this powder?
