Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

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.

Maybelline is one of many foundations I use for a quick fix up, I have this foundation in Sandy Beige and found it to be quiet nice, definitely gives off a healthy glow towards my complexion. The foundation itself is light and thin and applies very smoothly on skin. It does stick to what it says about superstay 24 hours, it is very long lasting and is great for those rainy days. I would recommend product to anyone wanting just a quick fix me up, ladies on the go and wanting to apply foundation that's hassle free but gives off great coverage

I picked this up from Farmers in the shade 03 true ivory, it was an ok match however it oxidises on me quite badly which is annoying.  It comes in a sturdy glass bottle and yay it has a great pump.

It is a nice medium consistency and applies well with my RT sponge, it is a medium coverage on me and when I tried to get more coverage it started to look a bit cakey.

A huge problem I found was that it kept transferring everywhere! If I touched my face you could see where I touched it and it ended up on the collar of my jacket, a real pet peeve of mine.

I noticed it looked patchy between my eyebrows and around my nose. Overall this foundation just didn't work well for me at all and I would not recommend it.
