Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

Purchased this due to the mass hype I'd been seeing and hearing about this foundation. Maybelline foundations and their products, in general, have always been a bit of a hit and miss for me with some becoming staples in my collection and others being a waste of money. I put off purchasing this for ages as I couldn't justify paying $35 for a Maybelline foundation that I didn't really need haha. Eventually, I came across it for $20 online and figured why not. I hated this product, it sat on my skin and felt cakey and gross to the touch. It felt like I was wearing a foundation sheet mask on my skin. The colour was off, which I spent ages trying to ensure it was the correct shade. It dried on my skin and clung to dry skin and hair on my face as I have dry and sensitive skin I wasn't surprised. It rubbed off not long after application and couldn't withstand sweat or heat. Waste of money and am annoyed having fallen into the hype.

I picked up my bottle of this foundation from the warehouse . I got it roughly for about $35 . For a drugstore brand I think it could be priced at a cheaper rate .

Packaging they’ve kept the square shaped bottle only difference is that they’ve added a pump on it. The shade I purchased was Golden. Golden is a perfect shade for my skin tone. It seems to be quite runny in consistency . Builds up nicely .

After an hour or so I notice that it seems to fade out. Next day I tried a primer and setting spray to try and hold it in place still faded out . My skin type is normal .

Overall I was hoping for a good result but unfortunately this didn’t meet my expectations. I think it should be marked at a $10-15 bracket rather than thirty dollar price tag. It’s definitely a nah bro , won’t buy again product. Test before you buy.

Wow I was not prepared for this foundation to be as good as it is! I have always worn Lancome foundation and was in need of a new one (and potentially a new shade as I had just coloured my hair from blonde to brunette) so booked in at my local Lancome counter for a makeover in a couple of weeks time. When I got home I started researching alternate (and cheaper) foundations and stumbled across reviews on Maybelline Superstay foundation and they were so good that I thought I might give it a go myself. The universe agreed and had a 40% off Maybelline sale at Farmers so I rushed on down with nervous excitement. Oh my ... there are so many shades and I have to colour match myself which I haven't had to do before. I found a mirror and made lines of foundation on my face until I found what I thought was the closest match to my skin and then I wandered around the store for about half an hour so the foundation had a chance to oxidise and also gave me a chance to see how it felt on my skin because I really do not like touching my face and feeling foundation. I went home with shade 10 Ivory and couldn't be happier. It is the perfect shade for my Autumn/Winter skin tone and feels like I am not wearing foundation at all - it just feels like I have super soft skin. It comes in a square shaped tall bottle that is really easy to hold and it has a pump which works really well and you can easily control how much foundation you pump out. I put a tiny dot on my beauty sponge and tap it round. A few tiny dots (it wouldn't even be a full pump worth all up) is all it takes to cover my entire face and despite it being full coverage it looks so natural! It covered up my redness on my cheeks and made my complexion look smooth and even. I set it with a setting spray and some powder and it stayed on all day... family had presumed I had touched it up during the afternoon which I hadn't. I have even been to the gym and sweated away and it still looked good when I got back home. I am very impressed by this foundation and will definitely be purchasing it again - in fact I have cancelled my Lancome makeover and Maybelline Superstay is fast becoming my new fave and at this rate will be my 'go-to'.

This foundation has been my go-to foundation. I like the full coverage and the longevity of it. I can go for 12 hours without touch-ups. it leaves my skin looking healthy. I apply it using a buffing brush and it works well for me and I always set it with loose powder. I recommended it to my sister and she fell in love with it too. FYI my skin type is a combination I get oily in the T zone. Will be great if it has more shades I have to mix 2 shades to get my shade

I was drawn to this at 40% off in a Farmers sale, and thought 'why not?' I have realised why this is not for me. On my skin, it oxidises. I start out looking lovely. Really good coverage, it builds really well, it stays put. Now, normally I wear my foundation as a medium coverage for work, and I hadn't previously noticed any issues with it, maybe because I set my face with a slightly light powder, and this had covered it. However... on this occasion, I'd decided for a full coverage, fully glammed look. This did not go well. Within the hour, it looked 2 shades orange-er on my face, and I felt like a bad Little Britain caricature. It had to come off. Super disappointed. I'll use it up as a sheer coverage, but I've learned my lesson about building it up for a fuller coverage. Maybe I'll throw some lightening drops in it and see what happens, or maybe next time there's a sale on, I'll swatch a lighter shade and wander around with it for a bit longer.

I wanted to love this. I really did. I'm about to part with my long-term-foundation (L'oreal Infallible) as it's not being sold much anymore, and I was desperate to find a new long term partner. Verdict: it just does not like me. At all. I've tried it with 2x different primers, matte powder or normal powder and with my go to Revolution Sport Fix setting spray and the outcome has consistently been a flaky forehead within 10 mins, and transferring like nothing else - NOT good when I'm at a dance event and leaving a white face on all my partners cheeks!

I'll try with no primer, or applying with a brush rather than a beauty blender but I'm about to give up on this one and toss it in the bin. Have no idea how other people have managed to make it stay.

Pretty gosh darn good for a drugstore foundation, blends well and doesnt look super cakey, dries down well with no oxidising and FULL coverage. Works well with most concealers. One of my faves for sure.

This foundation is now one of my go to’s! It has a long lasting full coverage effect and I’m not worried about having to top up my makeup half way through the day! I use shade 03 True Ivory and for me it’s the perfect shade for my fair skin, I found this shade did oxidise on my skin slightly, but not by much. For a drugstore product which is affordable and easily accessible, it’s a hit!

I got into this foundation for a while, it was reasonably longwearing and affordable. The shade was a good match for my skin and the feel and formula of the foundation were reasonable.

The one thing that put me off it over some other foundations is that it had a scent that I wasn't particularly fussed on, but one if was applied I stopped noticing it. I also noticed that it oxidized a bit after a few hours on.

Having tried more high end foundations, this one is not leagues behind for half the price so it's definitely worth taking into consideration.
