Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation

This isn't the most intuitive product to use. I was really struggling to get any cover from it until Facebook's algorithms provided me with a Nikkie Tutorials video on this product!

I followed her advice and wet the applicator, and buffed out with a brush. Much better!

This is very heavy in cover, this is not a 'your-skin-but-better' product, it is a 'you are now perfect and have no flaws'. In saying that, it feels very light on the skin and works beautifully with my liquid bronzer and highlighter.

It's definitely superstay, you'll want to use your heavy duty makeup remover to get this baby off. (That's what she said)

I think this is a solid product and on days when I'm looking for complete coverage I will defintiely reach for it.

A medium to full-coverage powder foundation, yes, please! I was excited to put this foundation to the test as I am always looking for products that work well and are affordable.

My first impression was that it was a fairly basic-looking powder foundation however it is packaged perfectly for make-up on the go. It includes a sponge to apply the foundation as well as a mirror which is super handy to have when travelling. The foundation itself has a pleasant smell and comes in a good range of shades.

I was a little concerned that this foundation would be too heavy and too much of full coverage for my liking however it turned out to work really well for me. The formula itself is lightweight and comfortable on the skin, never feeling heavy or cakey. It's also buildable, so I can achieve the level of coverage I desire without looking overdone. It is so quick and easy to apply that I have my morning makeup done in next to no time.

I have noticed that I get some shine during the day but to be fair I get this with most foundation. It does seem to be fairly transfer proof and I agree with all of the claims about how it feels lightweight and comfortable with no caking or patchiness.

The price point of Maybelline Super Stay Foundation is a real steal for the quality you get. It competes with high-end brands in terms of performance but is much more affordable. I love this foundation for quick morning make-up and as a convenient travel foundation.

I was really surprised by the packaging on this product. It comes fully equipped with a mirror and a sponge tucked away in a handy compartment below the pressed disk of powder. Great for throwing in your handbag and touching up on the go. It feels like a classy compact.

The consistency of the product is beautifully smooth and weightless, for a lasting and mattifying powder foundation it doesn't feel heavy or like you are wearing a lot of product. It doesn't crease or move around on your face like other products I have tried so once applied you can be assured that it's not going to look too obvious to others you are wearing makeup.

The price point is great too, different NZ companies show it retailing from $20.39 on special with up to $30 for its normal retail. Good value and even better value on special.

You can build the coverage by applying with the sponge for areas that need more and if you just want to be shine free use your powder brush to dust. Good for combination skins to apply with the sponge on your oily areas or textured pore parts of the face. If your skin is drier definitely dust with a powder brush to apply.

Great range of colours to suit a range of skintones. Lovely lightweight feel and texture when wearing, very smooth powder so it doesn't make the skin texture too obvious to others.

Definitely piqued my interest to try other Maybelline products!

I was lucky enough to be picked to review this product. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong shade for my skin so this review will be based on the functionality and whether it did what it says it would and not necessarily how it looked on my skin.Getting the wrong shade was 100% my fault amd no reflection on beauty review or maybelline.

The product comes in a nice little compact disc type shape. It's easy to open and close and as it is mix between liquid and powder, isn't flaky or messy.

The disc is easy to open and close and is simple yet chic looking.

I found the product easy to apply and is smooth and visable enough that you can ensure you are great great coverage.

I have combination skin so found it did cover blemishes but maybe not a much as I would have liked as did have to apply 3 or 4 times on a couple of breakout zones. I am not into the shiny or shimmery look when it comes to foundation so am happy to say that this looks smooth and the finished look would be what I would want from a foundation/powder. I am more of a natural look girl and this gave me that to a certain extent (or would have if I had gotten the right shade).

The maybelline superstay 16 hour powder did last the day and deffinietly is the sweat, heat and oil proof as per its claims. This is a massive bonus for me - I spend a lot of time outdoors and don't always have the closeness of a mirror or a facility to be able to do touch-ups. It's a massive bonus to know that I can rely on the Maybelline Superstay 16 hour powder to take me through the day.

My local maybelline stockist has sold out of this product but I will be buying some (in the right shade), once they are back in stock. I believe it retails for around $30 which is a bargain in my opinion.

I usually use a liquid foundation and have been regularly horrified looking in the mirror at the end of the work day to find my foundation has slid off parts of my face and is super patchy. I’ve tried swapping out my setting spray, primer and moisturiser, but it’s time I admitted the problem comes down to the foundation.

It was easy enough to choose the right Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation colour for me from swatches online. It comes in a cute white compact with a small sponge conveniently included in the bottom of the packaging which is also sturdy enough to keep the product safely enclosed in my makeup bag.

I’ve been applying the Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation using the included sponge after applying concealer (another Maybelline Superstay product!) where it’s needed. It builds so well that I was initially concerned it looked a bit powdery and ghost-like, and I’m not used to seeing my pores! But looking in the mirror later with the day I was happy with the approach, and it lasted! I was just left with a few missing patches around my nose where my glasses sit.

If you still prefer a liquid foundation, the Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation works really well as a setting powder which makes everything stay where I apply it.

I tested this on halloween, no better way than a long night of partying. It had long lasting coverage without the heavy or greasy look. And was easy to use. So compact and the type of product that is good to carry around if you are on the move!

I received the shade 21 to trial. This gave a light soft matte finish and I layered this over my spf day cream and this really helped to mattify the skin. No caking or patchiness and gave a nice soft glow. However I found it hard to use the sponge that came with the product as really difficult to collect more product and layer on. The sponge is more suited to a cream foundation than a powder foundation.There is a limited selection to choose from shade-wise in NZ so this was the closest to my olive skin colour but looked a little pink on me.

I was looking forward to trialling this Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation as I have never tried a foundation in this format before. I really enjoyed using it as it was quicker than blending my liquid foundation. I experimented with using the provided sponge which gave a medium/full coverage, and a makeup brush which provided a light/medium coverage. This is a really nice foundation product which is easy to use and customise your level of coverage. I didn't stay up the 24 hours to test these claims, however, it did last the full day which was great. I did choose a shade that was slightly too light, so I would like to try the next shade. This trialled shade will be better suited to use during winter for me, I added extra blush and bronzer to. warm up my face. The first day I wore this foundation, my skin was slightly dehydrated and the foundation clung to the dry patches. The second day I ensured to use my hydrating products first. I was really happy with this foundation and continue to use!

I truly enjoyed this pressed powder primarily because it lived up to its claims. It didn’t create a cake appearance, imparted a soft finish, and felt comfortably lightweight. Additionally it’s convenient for on the go touch ups in my hand bag when I head out after work without the luxury of redoing my makeup! Would definately buy this.

The foundation is silky smooth and light but I found it has thick coverage though - be careful around fine lines as it does seem to sit in them I noticed. Maybe use a foundation brush for around eyes and smile lines. Super easy to use with the little sponge applicator and loved that it has a mirror for on the go touch ups. I found it gave my skin a nice matte look but had to be careful around fine lines. It lasted all day which was great as I work and then head to the gym in the evening most days! The price is amazing compared to their brands so I’d def use and buy again. I would recommend to anyone who tends to have oily skin as this seems to work well and last. The matte look makes it a flawless look all day so I’d def recommend!
