I saw the new Maybelline Angelfit liquid foundation as I was passing by a Watsons store recently. I’d been meaning to try the Angelfit 2-way powder foundation (review by Tine) for a while but never got around to doing it mainly because I’m on a mission to finish up my existing powder foundations first.
Angelfit is an Asia only line of Maybelline New York cosmetics. I believe they were originally made for Japan only and were made to suit Asian (oriental) skin coloring and skin tone and Asian skin needs. Looking at the official website (in Japanese only) I notice that besides the powder and liquid foundation there are other products too - Sunscreen and Makeup base to name but 2. It looks like Angelfit is turning out to be a brand in itself! And in typically Japanese cosmetics fashion, it is cute and girly and Angelfit is being endorsed by their celebrities Miss Universe Japan 2006 Kurara Chibana and makeup artist Rie Omoto. (I managed to unearth a site with information in English! Looks like a Malaysian site too woohoo!)
That said, the Angelfit liquid foundation piqued my interest. Maybe it was the slim baby pink pump bottle. Or maybe it was the attractive price of RM35.90 promotion price. Either way, I felt that I really HAD to have that liquid foundation!
Thats when I ran into a problem. I had difficulty finding a foundation color that fit! I use L’oreal True Match in N1 - a very light shade, and Kanebo Revue powder foundation in OC-B or so. Every tester I tried in the 5 shades Angelfit liquid foundation comes in was either too yellow, too pink, too light or too dark. There was no one shade that fit. Boo! 
The 5 shades available are W01, N01, C01, W02 and N03. The closest I could find to fit my skintone would be W01 - True Ivory or maybe NO1. Even then, its a tad on the light side. Girls of darker skin tone would have problems too because the line seems formulated for those with lighter skin tone. Definitely a mark of Japanese makeup!
Here are the specifications of the product:-
I found that it had quite good coverage bordering on thick so you really have to be careful and use only very little and make sure to blend it nicely. I’m trying my darnest to finish up my L’oreal True Match foundation so I can try the Angelfit foundation out. Maybe I’ll get it before the promo period ends and keep it till I’m finished eh? 
After the promotion period ends, I’m not sure what the retail price will be but since its Maybelline I’m not expecting it to be very expensive at all.
I’ll be back with a proper review later once I get this!
Stay beautiful,

Didn’t realise there was a liquid version of the Angelfit foundation. Btw, your foundation will never finish if you keep buying new ones to try out. I know, I have LOADS!!
PS: Btw, you just got tagged

hmm..I dont’ think we have that here in Manila yet…I’ll keep my eyes open on this one, thanks foer the great post and the great blog
Tine: Will get down to it! And yes I know what you mean about foundation. Fortunately I don’t have that many and I’m sure the L’oreal will finish up soon with regular use!
Nikki: Thank you and maybe it’ll get to Manila soon.
I’m looking for my Revlon New Complexion but it looks like they have stopped selling it or something. So far, I only like this one because it’s not too thick and the coverage is excellent and natural.
I’m a bit skeptical about other brands. Oh boy.
I’ve just checked it out when I read this in your blog. The packaging was cute! Too bad they don’t have samples for me to try on. Weird, huh?
S-kay: Thats the problem with products being discontinued huh? It makes life difficult for us users!
Myuu: Yes its really cute. The stores I went to had testers. Maybe check out a bigger pharmacy - I find those are usually better equipped.
i have tried the free sample in the magazine i bought.i am using Nude C01, and it perfectly blend into my skin, and just fit the color of my skin.
previously i use the maybelline white stay mousse. at first i find it quite good, but after i tried this, it s better!!
hai!! maybelline is my favourite brand all the time. i alrady used the angelfit compact powder and the texrture is completly great. before this i used many type of compact powder but it not suitable with my skin face because when i used it my face become red. now im comfort with this product and i wish one day i can have all the maybelline products.
is the maybelline angelfit liquid foundation oil-free?
I’ve used Angelfit but it’s a bit too light (coverage) for me. Tried out the W01, and i use R2 for Loreal. Totally sticking with Loreal True Match, nothing has beat it so far
can we buy it in the u.s.???
@Dhani: I’m not sure if you can. However, I found it on Sasa.com which ships to the USA so perhaps you can try there or other Asian websites.
