Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

I tried to select my colour very carefully for the trial hoping to get as close to the colour I’m Currently using (and sadly running out of) but I was severely unsuccessful. When I opened the package I thought “oh dear that’s awfully dark..oh well..let’s give it a crack” On the pro side, a little went a LONG way. A half pump resulting in a 5mm drop would have done my entire face in a shade of brown I can only describe as umpa-lumpa burnt orange. A nice light consistency if that what youre looking for. However if you want coverage this is not the product for you. It gives a very transparent layer that I’d have to say gave my skin a peachy smooth feel. As for the superstay aspect..the product quite stubbornly stained my fingers orange so I’m confident it will stay put for quite some time.

I am just amazed to use Maybelline Superstay 24hr Full Coverage Foundation in Golden shade. It definitely does what it says. The shade is just perfect for my skin tone. It is lightweight and can be used in day time as well or in a regular use. I used it without applying my concealer on pigmented areas and it actually covered all flaws. I intentionally applied it in the morning when it was hot to see how it goes when I will go out and I was surprised to see my make up did not melt, no cracks/flakes, no patches and I still had the natural look after I came back home. This is something I have been looking for and luckily I got it. I was also fearful for having itchy skin to apply it in day time as I normally experience and avoid applying foundation in summers in day time but I did not feel it although I had a little sweat on my face which I pat dry without having a stain on my tissue.

This has got to be my new go to foundation. Stays on all day with. Perfect coverage and good match to my skin. I put it on before work and still going strong when I get home. Usually with my other foundation I could touch my face and it comes off in my hand. This foundation doesn't do this. Definitely recommend this foundation.

This product was incredible. I got the True Ivory colour which, unlike most foundations, was true to it's label. I think I will save this foundation for the winter season when my skin returns to it's pale state. I have many freckles and this foundation covered every single last one and also covered any redness in my skin! It was easily applied and set easily, it was not at all sticky. Better yet, my bronzer slid over the foundation easily and blended in very well. The only downfall is that my breakthrough shine on my nose still won against this foundation, reducing its "Superstay" effect.

This gives full coverage, blends easily, and feels light and never tight. A little pump (I love pump applicators- less messy, more hygienic, keeps product fresher) goes a long way. I got a shade that, truthfully and very unusually, was a little too light for my very pale skin(NC10 usually, 03 True Ivory here). This is pretty unheard of for me as I always, in consultations, get matched to the lightest hue. Never mind, with a touch of bronzer (I use anyway) and blush, I reach room temperature and I don't look like I work at Hot Topic. My aging yet acne-besmirched face saw no streaking nor any blotchiness- none after application anyhow. I have facial hyperhidrosis which means I sweat buckets- not ideal for a make-up lover. I have tried many foundations, and even a fancy toner used on Broadway stars, and Superstay is by far the most resilient formula. With other products, my make-up has melted off, resulting in uneven coverage and many orange-tainted napkins. Not Superstay- it is super for a sweaty betty.

I went for Nude Beige - it was a touch light but the undertones were spot on, so I'll definitely use this as my tan fades!

The glass bottle is very sleek, the white lid matches the Superstay Lip Ink.

I had no trouble applying this with a blender, brush or my fingers, whatever way I applied it was easy to blend to a smooth, even finish. The finish is matte, but it isn't flat. Even pre-highlight, my skin still looked alive, it isn't a matte finish that sucks the life out of your look.

Sans primer, but on a well moisturised face, this foundation lasted the day at work - and it didn't sweat off after my evening walk. I haven't left it on for 24hours (I love my pillowcase too much to risk it) but 14 hours is the most I'm ever gonna ask of a foundation - my all-nighters are way behind me!

I actually felt after wearing this my usual oily spots (t-zone) were less oily, but my dry cheeks also felt a little more dry. So you'll definitely want to pay attention to moisturising before and after using.

All up, I think the price is great, the product lasts the day, is economical to use, and leaves an even, matte finish. If you're after a matte foundation, what more could you want?!

I really liked this foundation. I usually wear a BB cream or just concealor so wearing foundation everyday was a bit daunting. I loved the light weight feel of this but it provides more coverage than my BB cream and concealor - which I love! It doesn't crease which is a major bonus. Easy to apply, I used a sponge and brush, and awesome to layer up for fuller coverage.

i dont wear alot of make up but was excited to try this is a pump and just enough came out not to much there was no smell.and the coverage was great i didnt need alot so this would last alot longer.it felt light to wear the only thing i found as im very fair i picked a colour that made my skin lighter.i would buy this and it stayed on all day till i cleaned my skin

This foundation comes in a 30ml glass bottle with a pump dispenser and plastic cap. It is easy to dispense and has a medium consistency.

The shade I chose was "30 Sand", which ended up being too light and too pink for me. For reference, I am NC25 in MAC and Punjab in NARS Sheer Glow.

It claims to be full coverage but I found it to be medium-full buildable with a satin finish. It did not cover my freckles with normal application, but with heavy application it looked cakey.

It claims to have 24 hour wear - I was not able to test this claim as I could not stand to have makeup on for 24 hours, but it did start to look cakey around my T-zone after about 8 hours (I have combination skin).

I personally did not like the heavy-looking finish of this foundation and would not repurchase it in the future.
