Maybelline FIT ME Blush in Light Pink: Review, Swatches
Hi All,
This is one of the the blushes my friend picked up for me from the US 2months earlier. I loved the color at first sight but on usage I realised that this isn’t quite what I expected…or wanted…

My take on the Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Light Pink:
- Packaging: The blush comes in a plastic rectangular packaging with a dome shaped transparent lid which makes it easy to identify the shades. It also comes with a brush which is quite nice for touch ups.
- Color: Light pink is the shade name and true to its name, its is the lightest of pinks ever and more or less a baby pink shade
- Pigmentation & Texture: This blush has a very soft texture…but what’s the use when it doesn’t show up ??
When swatched, it does look a bit chalky but I again cannot say for sure since the color doesn’t show up AT ALL on me. Yes…it’s that bad. The color is so very faint that I have to practically dig into the pan if I want the blush to MILDLY show up.
- Staying Power: I can’t comment on this as a blush, but as a highlighter this stays for about 1 hr. Totally disgusting…but I’ve been scrambling to use it in any way possible and this is the best I can come up with….Any suggestions?
- Application:As a blush this is useless. Its so light and the color payoff is so disgusting. Its better off used as a compact or a highlighter (if you HAVE to use it). I’ve been using it as a highlighter in fact and it works so-so this way.
Pros of Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Light Pink:
- Although it doesn’t serve its intended purpose of a blush, atleast it works as a highlighter...sort of…I know I’m scrambling for good things to say here..
- A matte shade without any shimmers
- Comes with a brush
- The packaging is quite attractive
- Comes in a variety of shades and i hope the darker shades fare better.
- No detectable fragrance.
Cons of Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Light Pink:-
- Pigmentation is baaaaaadddd! It doesn’t show up as a blush at all.
- Too pricey for the quality.
- Availability is a problem.
Ratings:
- Pigmentation: 2/5
- Texture: 3.5/5
- Packaging: 5/5
- Staying Power: 3/5
- Price vs. Quality: 3/5
Do any of you know of an alternate way I could use this? If so, pls enlighten me too

id gone to aurangabad over the weekend and kal to some friends had come over and we watched some movies on tv
totally sad SD…i tried using it so many times thinking that maybe id made a mistake and was not using it properly
That’s terrible!
Good morning though
As you said, if it doesnt show up that much and its nottoo pink, maybe you can use it as a setting powder? the colour looks similar to n just slightly pinker than lakme rose powder na, so same use try karlo good luck!!
gmornin Keer!
even a setting powder has better staying power than this yaar…it hardly stays…
for one side of my face i have t grind the brush some 5-6 times in the pan b4 using..hehe..
Aww! Then toh keep it in your glove box, Emergency stash sorts, that way you’ll use it atleast sometime and your blush stash mei it wont feel bad sitting unused
but me drive keers!!
but m a very gud pillion rider 
Hahaa, ab toh mushkil create ho gaya, chalo bag mei rakh lo…unplanned trip to the movies? Rush to the loo and you’re good to go!
nice shade.
…………………………. looking really not pigmented..

Oh no.. ive asked my cousin to buy maybelline fit me blushes in two shades.. one is a coral shade and the other is a pink one..
arre.. if the blush queen doesnt know how to use this one what do I do 
hehe…these fit me blushes r so dicey..
tell ur sis to get the dark shades…all tle shades in this range r like: light pink, medium pink, deep/dark pink and so on…seeing this id advice u to go in for the deep variant… 
i have already told her what i want.. she is coming here on 26th
yeyyy!!! Deeps is gona hav a hauulll!!!
i already have a huge haul post coming up
shopped a lot and received a lot of gifts from boyfriend dearest for working so hard 
will send it to A this week 
will wait Deeps
do you want two separate posts or shall i combine them both?? im expecting a few B&D stuff also on 24th
ooohhhhhh!!! this is gona be a huge haulll!
what do you think about the other shades? i mean the other darker ones may work a little better than this i guess…
well, i sure hope so..m very sure that their darker shades wud actually b light!
Looks horrible Zee…. and looks chalky
uff u r going to kill the blush
i knoooo!!! i hate this…
Waahhh!!! my heart breaks whn i see such a pretty color all gone to waste! 
not break the blush Ana…. but Maybelline
I feel cheated when such pretty things are made of such horrible quality. Even thought less expensive compared to higher end ones, but it’s still not free, right?
thas so true …
wohi to….it pinches nevertheless…
hehe..this was picked up by a firend…actually i had given him a small list and it was very vagur coz i dint think he’d actually get anything much less actually walk into a cosmetic store..so i had just said maybelline blush…widout mentioning the shade or anything…if id known he was actually go gona get me stuff i’d have given him shade names AND a longer list..
it is really pale…hmmm. Sometimes that y i am skeptical to buy things online..unless it tried and tested and on a huge discount.
haha!thats the dream…
i wish id researched a bit.. 
this looks so milky, no wonder doesn’t show up
its a total waste nids..very disappointing..
it looks quite useless
not just looks…it IS useless
Sam!! main iska kya karuuu??
too bad zara.. why don;t you turn this into a cream highlighter?
heeeyyyyy! now thats a nice idea….Anks how do i make it?
scrape it out of the pan, add a bit of thick body lotion (base) or face cream and mix well… i saw a tutorial recently by an indian blogger where she used vodka / alcohol to set it and added fragrant oil. But that can be skipped imo. Add a drop of foundation and some translucent powder to control the shimmer. That’s it… your customised highlighter….
You can also mix this with vaseline and eye shadow primer and turn this into a cream shadow…. hope this helps
hey cool! m pakka gona use this tip
i think this wud b the best way t use this…thans so much anks! 
welcome.. do tell us how it turns out!
wow, good idea it is.. for such useless dud :bangbang: ..
precisely…i was desperate for a way to use this and this is truly perfect
but i like the brushes, that expert wear wala , n this one is also same kind packaging and brush too.. they are good for touch ups, better than the brushes provided by most of the other brands…
that i do agree shale…the brush is better thanthe others…but wot use is the brush if the blush doesnt work
maybe ill use it for someother blush instead 
yeah can use for some other one, looks as if u r too disappointed with the blush zara…lol….
m heartbroken!
Too bad it doesn’t show up Z
Don’t worry…try using it in summer to set ur fav cream blushes so that they dont streak or turn ur face oily. N since ure fair…u can powder it n a mix with a li’l shimmer lotion n use as a face base (like oriflam’es peach me, u get zara’s pink me 
)
lolz ..thas indeed an awesome idea
haha! thats a really nic idea naf..
will ake my skin stay matte for longer 
I have tried so many shades but i haven’t got the perfect shade. Finally i tried Maybelline’s Pink Blush and it wonders, this is the perfect shade I am looking for. Suits really very well according to my skin tone. I am so happy.
thas great..i am glad u found yur HG blush
two tricks , you could mix some glycerine, vodka, and make this blush into a liquidy/creamy texture, then add this in your skin lotion or tinted moisturiser, just for a pinkish glow. i made a liquid highlighter of a shiny maybelline blush , it was called apricot flush.
hey gr8 tip
thanks i will try that 
nice tips ya…il try this out..
Thankies!
