Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

I was super excited to be offered a place on this trial team. I have not used a Maybelline foundation before so was keen to see if I would love it or leave it.

It comes in a glass bottle, yay love that. Initially, I thought it was a screw top so after trying to screw it off and breaking some of the plastic lid off (oops) I figured out it was a pull up job *rolls eyes*. I chose the shade 30 Sand which was a bit more of an educated guess going by my other foundation. The colour is pretty spot on, maybe a touch light but certainly good enough for me to wear every day. It's a very light formula and you don't need to use a huge amount, maybe a large pea (is that a bean??) size.

Application: The first day, I applied it straight with no primer and the finish was not the best, it sat in my pores and by the time I got home from work, it was looking a little patchy. The next day I used a primer and a foundation brush and it went on super smooth, no pore issues since. Its stickability is great so when I brushed my teeth before heading out the door, I didn't wipe half of it off on my towel like I do with my current product (big win). It has lasted well throughout the day and still looks pretty darn good in the evening even if underneath it all I’m knackered.

Value for money: I think the value is ok? At $33.99 RRP it is up there price wise so I would probably wait till it came on special before I bought it again, which I think I will.

A nice, easy to apply formula that goes on smoothly when using a brush.

Well, I was super excited to be added to this trial. After all, I am a mother and a full coverage foundation with 24-hour coverage sounds like a dream come true especially with the little amount of time on your hands. I used both application tools a foundation brush and sponge and the results were the same. If you are thinking you will be able to get away with using concealer to cover breakouts (especially around those delicate times) you will not get away with it. While it did even out my skin tone it certainly didn't cover the spots like the full coverage you would expect to receive. I was also disappointed with the "superstay foundation" I found by the end of the day more spots were visible than the start, and then my partner asked what I had brushed up against to my horror I found my foundation was sitting on my shoulder, it must have happened when I did a quick rub to satisfy an itch with juggling a toddler, keys, nappy bag, purse you know how it goes (how embarrassing as I had no idea how long it was on there for!). It is safe to say the things this foundation says in its headline it doesnt stand up to the test but I like to leave with some positives so here they are. I did not have a break out of acne so it certainly did not clog my pores. It did feel light on the face, it was not heavy at all. The application was easy as it was blended well not to thick or too runny.

Actually love this product, I'm glad I didn't go darker but this is 1 I would need to wear in winter just so it doesn't look lighter on my face. I found with my elf primer and then this on top I could build it up a bit not that I needed to but to try it out really. Seems to cover the red blemishes on my face which was great to see.

I love the no foundation, natural look, but unfortunately I need a bit of help from the beauty counters to cover up pigmentation and the odd blemish. I generally use a cover stick and then a sheer foundation to create a natural look. This foundation promises full coverage, so I was wondering if it was going to create that 80's heavy foundation look. I was impressed with the lovely natural looking coverage and silky feel of this foundation. The colour I received was soft beige - a very good match for my skin tone. It is lightly scented and I didn't have any breakouts or skin sensitivity issues using this. I like the packaging and I love the pump - no bacteria getting transferred into unused product. From a price point this offers very good value for money. I will be using this again and will be happy to recommend to others.

I can't believe in all the foundations I've tried over the years, I've never tried a foundation from Maybelline (caveat I've tried a BB Cream).

First off I was impressed with the packaging. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump which dispenses the product nice and cleanly. The glass allows you to see the product colour.

On application it was smooth and easy to apply. I used a kabuki brush and it applied nicely without any streaking or patching. Now at the end of the day I can see that it has lasted well with only a bit of wearing in a couple of areas ( I think I touch my face quite a bit).

I had seen online that some people found this to be an oily foundation, but for me, who tends towards a bit of oiliness through the day, it has lasted better (in my t zone) than my Lancome foundation!! (can't believe I just said that).

This is some thing I would definitely repurchase!

I confess i’ve never tried a Maybelline foundation before. It’s a go to brand for Mascara for me but foundation? It has never really been in my bucket of brands that I would even think about so I was intrigued to give this baby a go.

It’s marketed as a matte, full coverage foundation. I confess to being a bit nervous as i’m not one for a thick face of slap I generally like a more sheer coverage. But hey, i’m all for trying new things.

The product comes in a glass bottle with a PUMP. You read it right people a PUMP. I love this, foundation that come in bottles without do my head in! So we are already off to a good start.

I chose the colour Nude Beige and it’s perfect for me especially now. Interestingly enough, the texture of the product is surprisingly light, and…I tell you, a little goes a long way. In general one small pump is enough.

I applied it with my foundation brush and it went on like a dream, no patches or streaks and I was relieved to discover although it was full coverage…the final result was still very sheer and natural. I guess you could build it up with a thicker application if that was the look you were after, but for me it worked like a dream.

The only gripe I would have is that the writing on the pack is literally teeny tiny, even with my glasses on i’d be hard pressed to read it. I’m not sure why it has to be so minimal but anyway, i’m not gonna mark it down for that it’s just a passing comment.

I loved it and I will certainly be repurchasing once this runs out although given how little you need to use each time that won’t be any time soon.

Thanks Maybelline! You’ve found a new foundation friend.

I have always been a lover of Maybelline foundations, they are affordable, look good, and last well. That being said, this foundation blows all my other Maybelline favourites out of the water!

24 hour full coverage is honestly an understatement. I wore this foundation on a big night to town, and like the gross girl I am, when I felt too exhausted (hungover) to put on a fresh face of makeup before I went to work the next morning, I realised I didn't need to because my foundation had stayed put from the night before! Not only that, but it then proceeded to stay put through an 8 hour work day! This stuff is incredible!

The formula is quite thick and requires a bit of blending to get a smooth look, but once it's on it really does provide a good, full coverage. I occasionally can have quite red skin that I struggle to properly conceal with foundation. However, after applying this foundation, plus a swipe of concealer, my skin has the perfect, even tone I wish it had naturally.

Overall, I was incredibly impressed with this foundation and will definitely be buying it again!

Super stay 24hr full coverage foundation, colour true ivory. This isn't one of my favs yet unfortunately, I applied this on a daily basis with different bases as it just looked blotchy by itself . I normally put a little bit of pawpaw cream to moisturise befor applying my foundation, however with this one that just didn't sit right an it felt super oily. I had to wash my face with make up remover to try other options, the smell is actually a pleasent smell an I'll definitely keep trying to find a base that doesn't make it look uneven an blotchy. It's always good to have a back up foundation incase the one you use isn't available, like 2 of my previous ones are no longer. The consistency is pretty good it's not very runny, and I found with about 6 to 8 pumps of the product it did my whole face an neck most times. Though some of the pumps didn't go fully so sometimes you need that extra 1 or 2 pumps, if you do get two much out however it is a bit difficult to get it back in the container. So in that case there is a bit of wastage, I would possibly tell friends about this product but it's not very high on my list have list.
