Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

I've really enjoyed using this foundation, the coveridge is awesome I've had a few problem spots before using this but it's been so good at hiding these. I normally use a high coverage concealer as well as full coverage foundation but all I need with this is the foundation. I did find you needed to blend it well and quite quickly as once it's on your skin it's not moving anywhere! And that's not a bad thing! I found it went on well with a damp sponge and worked into the skin nicely Another small thing I love it that the bottle has a pump for easy application which is different for Maybelline foundations which normally have a screw top lid. I like that there is a range of colours so I can have a lighter shade and a darker one. This foundation is a win for me and I look forward to trying the rest of the Superstay range.

I received this product as a part of the Beauty Review trial team and had the shade 03 True Ivory.

I was really excited to try this foundation as I have been looking for an affordable fuller coverage foundation.

This foundation comes in a standard clear bottle with 30mls of product. It is a glass bottle which is nice. It also comes with a pump. I do wish the pump was a little more securely attached to the bottle as I found mine can sometimes twist slightly when I remove the lid.

The foundation itself is quiet runny. Because of this one pump seems like enough to cover your face, but I found that it didn't really go to far on the face, I wound up having to use three pumps for my face.

I applied this with a damp Real Techniques sponge and a brush and found that it works well with both, I do prefer the look of a damp sponge. It has a natural finish - not too matte and not to dewy. I found it looks quiet skin like.

This foundation has high medium to low full coverage, it is build-able, it did cover a lot of my redness and acne scaring but found it did cake up a bit around my active acne.

I have oily skin and normally foundations start to break up on my skin throughout the day. This foundation did an excellent job at staying put and din't break down or separate. I paired this with the Stila One Step correct and Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray and it looked great throughout the day.

However the colour match on this was not great on me, I have fair skin and found that it did oxidize a little bit and if there was some product not blended out properly it did look a little orange. Which as the undertone was a little off was noticeable on my skin tone. I will finish the bottle but for $33 I think I can find a better colour match.

If you are able to find a good shade match I highly recommend this product

Firstly, unfortunately as yet, I’ve only tried this for a few days, as the wet weather delayed the courier. But, from what I have experienced so far, I am impressed. I have been applying this foundation after applying moisturiser and primer, and allowing both prior products time to absorb.

The pump bottle is great! Only a small amount comes out and I found this to be the perfect amount to cover my face when I used my fingers to spread. It is best to act quickly to get the best coverage or if you dab it onto areas that may normally need a bit more coverage first, then blend the rest of your face, it seems to give a fantastic even coverage with a matte finish. The lasting power is also pretty good. No oily forehead during the day, even the sneeze test left limited foundation on my tissue! I did find selecting the right colour a bit tricky, and may have gotten one a touch pale, however, I have now got new motivation to use my highlighter pallets - yah!

I liked the foundation. I found I didn't have to reapply during the day like I often do with other brands. The coverage was good but I found I needed to use a primer with it or my pores were quite visible due to it being thicker than some of the foundations I tend to use. It was easy to apply and blended in well. I have sensitive skin but this caused not issues. I would use again.

This was perhaps a shade too light for me. However I did quite like it. The bottle is nice and simple with the lid being secure enough that I could have it in my handbag and not worry about it coming off and making a mess. So far I have only applied with a sponge. The pump is great as it means you don't get too much coming out in one go. It's thick without being to thick, so doesn't run and is light on my skin. (I don't feel like I'm wearing a ton of makeup) It goes on nice and smooth and covers my imperfections great for a little while. For me this only lasts a few hours when I'm working. It seems to soak into or come off my skin. I have used with and without primer and also with and without a powder over top. It did last a little longer with a primer. I found that during the weekend or when I wasn't so physical, It lasted even longer so that was a plus. It does seem to have a faint scent. Not strong and not noticeable to me once on the skin. It did seem to dry my skin out a little, so will use a little more moisturizer to try and balance that out. Price wise for me, for the length of time it lasts, I wouldn't use it as a regular foundation. Perhaps more of a going out at night foundation, rather than for going to work.

The packaging is sleek and clean looking. It is a sturdy glass bottle with a pump dispenser. I like using pump dispensers as it feels like it it keeps the foundation fresh and hygienic. The pump dispensed a good amount of product. The foundation has a medium consistency. It smoothed on really easily and evenly. It made my freckles and redness around my nose disappear. When you spread the foundation around it turns into a very fine powder finish. It didn't move around my face. which I sometimes get around my nose with some foundations. It touched up very easily, although I found it didn't need much touching up and the foundation does truly stay put. This is a fantastic foundation to give you that classic flawless matte finish.

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.

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!

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 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!
