Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

I found this foundation to be surprisingly thick. It went a long way.. the first time I used it it I put way too much on. So next time I started with just a little and I didn't need alot . It does blend easy but I found it a little heavy on my face . The overall coverage was great. It definately covered all my redness and small veins. It dried quickly . It did look a little flaky in some areas .. wouldn't recommend on dry skin. The scent was ok - barely any scent at all. The first time I applied it and put way too much on, I struggled to removed it. I had to wash my face three times and scrub ad well just to remove it and i still felt like there was product on my face. In saying that it does last a long time and is semi waterproof. The packaging was great and appealing . I would probably buy this again but in a slightly different colour.

This Superstay foundation has a medium consistency- not too thick but not watery either, just the right consistency to ensure it is easy to blend into your skin. I have applied it both with my beauty blender and with a brush and I have found they both look very similar so there is not one I prefer over the other. It has a very faint scent but not enough to make a difference on whether or not I'd use it. I love the coverage it gives- it is a full coverage foundation and is very lightweight yet buildable. I have some redness on my cheeks and I have found I needed very little foundation to cover it. This foundation really lives up to it's superstay name as It lasted all day and still looked like it did when I applied it when I got home a good 12 hours later!

The packaging is like any other maybelline foundation however I absolutely love the pump! It is super handy and one pump covers my whole face. I think this product would be very economical as one bottle would last ages especially without having to reapply foundation throughout the day and the price is very good for a foundation of this quality!

I really liked this foundation, after not having tried a matte foundation until this one. I have found this foundation to be great on my normal/ combination skin while using it the past few days. It lasted all day without getting cakey or separating around my nose as some foundations tend to do. I love the fact that it is fade and transfer proof as there was no need to worry about getting makeup on people when hugging, or when changing clothes.

This foundation provides great coverage for one on the cheaper side. Unfortunately I chose a shade too light so looked a little washed out, but continued with trying out the product to see if it lived up to what it said it’d do.

Went on easily and provided great coverage without feeling too heavy. I did break out a little on my chin the first few days but that went away. I applied a light layer for work each day for a week and it stayed put all day. My nose got a little oily by the end of the day. Then on the weekend I went to a party and applied more than usual. It built up nicely and gave a really good finish, which again lasted all night through dancing and warm temps.

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.

... maybe it's this insanely good new offering from Maybelline.

I'm always sceptical about lofty claims like 'Full Coverage' and 'Superstay!' but you know what? They live up to what they promise, and I'm super impressed.

Shade selection wasn't simple for the trial, as I couldn't swatch (of course!) but I managed to find a shade that's utterly perfect for my skin apart from the day after freshly tanning - I'll probably go up a shade when I repurchase - and I WILL be repurchasing. In the meantime, a little bronzer on top of this brings it up to perfect.

The packaging is standard for a the brand - nothing super unique but an attractively presented square clear glass bottle with a white top, and subtle silver/pink labelling. 30 mls is a decent size for foundation, so I think it's value for money in this size.

The pump has already leaked ever so slightly but the lid fits well and i'm reasonably confident about leaving it in my makeup bag even when travelling. The pump is white plastic as well, and (amazingly) one pump dispenses enough foundation for a full face. Well done on that one Maybelline!

The foundation is mid -consistency; not runny or super thick. It spreads and applies well, but requires buffing to get it to blend fully - no worries as I do this anyway. It has a very faint scent that I barely notice.

The foundation, once applied, wears beautifully. I've tried it over various illuminators, primers and moisturisers, and topped with a couple of diff powders, and it has interacted well with everything I've tried. Longevity is impressive - it survived a festival; hours in the sun in crowds of people and 27 degree heat without a worry.

I haven't had any negative reactions from my skin, it seems to really like this foundation.

Removal was easy with oil cleanser, but tougher with both facial wipes and micellar water. It appears to need to be dissolved a little then the full face cleansing to remove every trace - that's the tradeoff I guess!

I'll definitely be repurchasing this in both this shade and a slightly darker one - i think I've found my new HG foundation.

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

I have high foundation expectations. My expectations for a long wearing full coverage foundation are even higher. I had a super positive experience with the Maybelline fit me matte and poreless so I had VERY high expectations for this foundation.

For starters thank god Maybelline has answered our prayers and given us a pump!! the only hassle with fit me is the lack of pump, so I am loving the fact that this foundation has a pump. The bottle is glass, feels good, looks good. Packaging is a tick.

The colour. I am very fair and drugstore brands usually do not go super fair. I was prepared to be wearing an orange foundation even though I got the lightest shade but Maybelline has managed to nail it again with this colour range for pale skin! (can not comment on dark colours as not sure how they match.)

This foundation claims to be full coverage and long wearing. Would I say this is the fullest coverage I have ever used, no but it is definitely a medium - full coverage buildable. I like the coverage for this, I can cover any redness or blemishes that may be happening and I don't feel like I need to add any extra coverage on top.

The formula I found was quite matte. I have combination skin so this was working well for the majority of my face although there were a few dry patches that it clung to slightly but not noticeable enough to bother me. This foundation definitely stayed matte for most of the day and was not sticky at all.

Wear time, it definitely lasted on me. It claims 24 hours but I didn't wear it for 24 hours because who wants to do that, but I wore it for a solid 14 hours and after a bit of powdering I would still have been happy to go out again with the foundation looking fine.

Overall I think this foundation is really good. It lasts a long time. It has a really good coverage. It has a good pump and packaging and its easy to get. I don't think there is anything I would change about this foundation, Maybelline has stepped up their foundation game in the last year or so and I am not disappointed in this foundation at all.

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 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?!
