Maybelline SuperStay 30HR Activewear Foundation

This foundation would have been great if it wasn’t for my dry skin. It is amazing coverage, transfer proof, long wearing. However the natural matte finish (which looks stunning) didn’t work well with my dryer skin so would recommend this to people with more oily skin or perhaps over a very hydrating base. I didn’t need to power this one down either, and even without powder it was long wearing. My products blended so well on top of this too. No artificial foundation smell either which was quite nice.

First up I was pleasantly surprised. For a lot of the foundations that are "long wearing", they can be heavy and cloggy and this was not!!!

It felt lightweight on and not oily at all and best of all doesn't clog your pores and looks natural on.

Application spreads and blends easy on and stays put throughout the day.

Has a real nice matte finish but at the same time my skin still had that dewy look.

Win, win, win.

I thought that this foundation would be good but I was sadly disappointed. It was not full coverage, it dried out on my skin too fast while I was still applying it and it left my skin looking very patchy and not very flattering. I tried it a few times with different primers, using a beauty blender and brush but they all gave quite similar results. The only thing close to being true was the 30hr part as it was really difficult to remove.

I really enjoyed the finish and texture of this foundation. I found it to be really lightweight while still having some decent coverage, though I didn't find it to be super matte - it definitely has a matte finish, but it's a tad glowier than I thought it would be! I have oily-combo skin so this isn't a problem, as I tend to powder over my foundation anyway. What I did notice was that this foundation definitely didn't last 30 hours on me! While that isn't an issue - I very rarely would need my foundation to stick around longer than 12-14 hours, I didn't think that it lived up to the longevity claim. After about 4-5 hours I really noticed some shine breaking through on my t-zone, and I wanted to blot-use powder after about 7-8 hours. Not a bad foundation overall - I really liked the coverage and the finish, just not quite as long-lasting as I was hoping for!

I am a huge fan of maybelline - its probably one of my favourite brands and it is so affordable. I have used most of their products and highly rate them for the price and this was no exception.

I have no need for a 30 hour staying foundation I always wash it off prior to 24 hours use. I usually only use for a day of wear out and about.. no wearing it to the gym for me. But I commend them for seeing this niche and trying to fill it for consumers that may need that day wear that rolls into night/the following morning.

I got the colour nude beige and it was risky choosing a colour online but this is one thing I love with maybelline its a good bet their beige will match and it was a great match.

It was a nice consistency - runny at first and I was worried but then nice smooth consistency that blended well.

Medium coverage which is perfect for my skin I don't have many blemishes and following use it wasn't greasy or cause blemishes.

Great colour and coverage - and wears well it lasted me during my usage I didn't wear for 30 hours but have no need for this.. it did a great job on my skin for sure.

Another good maybelline product for my collection

Although this product is stated to last 30 hours I've yet been game enough to sleep in make up or stay up that long. In saying that it does last a lot on longer on my super oily skin compared to other foundations I've tried. By the evening it has settled into my very large pores would be my only critism. But others do it hours earlier.

I found it easy to remove with micellar water and basic gel wash before bed. There is no real smell to the foundation which is a huge plus

On the skin it feels light weight and gives a matte finish. It's possibly a little drying but I feel like it needs to be for staying powder. I would describe finish as medium to full. Probably not full for those with scars or acne.

Really like that Maybelline has decided to go with pump bottle and dispenser. Keeps product hygienic and keeps keep container in pristine condition rather than squashed from squeezing etc Also a uniform amount of product is dispensed each time which mostly leads to less wastage.

Overall this is a fabulous long lasting product that fits well into my busy working mum life. I don't need to worry about touch ups during the day.

I found this foundation to be lightweight with no greasy feeling. The coverage is full and stays on well. I find matte formulas tend to sink into my pores and wrinkles a little bit which isn't ideal. I didn't try working out or being overly active during my trial period but will do in the future to see if it lives up to the activewear claims.

I’ve used this for about a week now, and it’s ok. I like the packaging. Nice and clean. I find the white a bit hard cause often it ends up covered in the foundation from my hand to the lid.

Coverage wise, it was decent, made my skin feel really soft, but i did find it clings to the dry bits of skin, which I try to steer clear of. It feels light on the skin. I wouldn’t rush to buy but it’s an ok back up.

I have a weird relationship with foundation in that I wish I didn’t have to wear it as I don’t like the full on made up look – very out of fashion at the moment I know… I also buy new ones to try & then can’t use them as I don’t like the feel of them on my skin. So, if you are still reading now that you know how strange I am, then I will review Maybelline SuperStay 30HR Activewear Foundation. The packaging is standard Maybelline – no frills & minimalistic style. I saw the glass container & hoped I didn’t have to pour it out (another pet hate!) It is actually a pump dispenser which works really well; you can even just pump out the tiniest bit if you want to. I used a blending sponge to apply & found it worked best by layering it on, to get the best coverage. This is also good for varying day time & night time looks. It comes out as a thin liquid which was a good surprise as when I think full coverage, I assume thick gluggy cream. This has a really lightweight feel as the blurb says but it does cover really well. It covered a blemish that I had better than my concealer. I was also impressed that although it was full coverage it didn’t look like I had a mask on… So, how was the lasting power? – well, I didn’t stay up for 30 hours to see if I was still wearing foundation but it certainly lasts the whole day & evening , including going to Pilates & dance classes. So yes, it is sweat resistant & it is long lasting. I somehow managed to pick the correct colour for my skin tone – another bonus! I liked it a lot….

I hadn’t used a maybelline foundation in many years but I was really surprised by this. It applied nicely and I loved the matte finish, not shiny at all on my skin! It had good coverage and was buildable if you’re looking for a bit extra. It also stayed on well, a few times lately I haven’t been able to wash my face before going to the gym and it stayed put even with the heat and sweat! I also love the pump applicator, means it’s easy to control the product and helps reduce wasted product!
