Pretty damn impressive!

I normally use Revlon colour stay but after running out of it I thought I'd give this ago. I am so pleased I did. I love it. I have only been using it for about two weeks, and I love how it feels on my skin. It gives good coverage which is can be anything from light to full coverage depending on what I want or need at the time. I have had so many people comment on my skin/make up since using this - no one ever passed comment on my make up when I used the colour stay. I find it a semi matte foundation which for my 40 year old skin it seems to suit better than the colour stay now.

My new fave

I actually won this from entering a competition on Facebook, but would of definitely gone out and bought it. Coverage is medium to full. It has a nice creamy texture, glides on smooth and doesn't have a smell to it which I love!! I found it covered my dark circles, so I don't have to use concealer which is a bonus. Not sure if it improves your skin though, will have to wait and see. Wears well during the day and non transfer (just need to let it dry for a couple of minutes).

Not my pick of the bunch

I was excited to see this new range and given that my skin has been breaking out recently, I would try anything. I apply all my foundation with brushes. I found it didnt apply as well as I would have thought. So I tried a sponge hmmm not much of a difference. I didnt find the coverage to be overly great. As I continued to layer, it felt heavy.

I have stopped using it therefore cannot say whether it gives you better skin or not.

Tips: Choose the right shade for the summer season approaching

A foundation that lasts

I purchased this recently after seeing it advertised on the BR page recently so decided to give a go. I only buy foundations with SPF included so at SPF 20 this sounded perfect. I didn't notice any difference to the condition to my skin and this is a lot thicker than I am use to but I am so glad to finally have a foundation that lasts the day. Overall a great long lasting foundation

Better Skin?

So I was really excited to try this since I have a bit of trouble with foundation doing awful things to my skin (nothing really as dramatic as that sounds, just pimples (*gasp*)). The colour was good and the coverage was really great actually. It wasn't too heavy or cakey and I had no worries about wearing it all day at work. "Better Skin" seems like a good description in that it was better than other foundations. It was not, however better for my skin than wearing no makeup at all. All in all, if I really have to wear foundation, this one would probably be a good choice, but don't expect to go from wearing no foundation at all, to wearing this and having your skin improve.

Photo finish

I was a little dubious about trying this as I have quite dry skin, however, I am so happy I did! All day cover, fantastic pump bottle and amazing coverage. I did my usual morning moisturiser and slapped a small bit on to see how it went. Instantly I felt photoshopped, my skin looked amazing! It didn't feel heavy or dry, it was just what I had been looking for. No need for anything over it,I just added a bit of mascara and I looked like I was ready for a photo shoot :-D well, my face anyway haha!

Love this foundation!

I was one of the lucky ones who received this amazing foundation as a BR trial, my first trial too so I was really excited! Thanks BR!

I picked the shade 'Sand 030' and it was a perfect colour match on my skin.

I like the packaging, it's appealing to me. The bottle is glass and has a little blue plastic pump. I think the size of the foundation is good for it's price - a little goes a long way even though the foundation is a bit thicker than others I have tried.

The plastic pump makes it really easy to use, and is good so you control how much you get. About 2 pumps is enough to cover my face. The formula is a little thick so I think the best way to apply it is by using a flat top brush then a sponge so the foundation doesn't look streaky. It is lightweight and gives you medium to full coverage. I didn't even have to apply concealer, this foundation covered my blemishes and dark circles really well. This is now my go to foundation! But in saying that, I did have a dry patch on my face and I did find that it did look slightly cakey and flakey on that area. So I don't think it would be suitable for people with dry skin.

Overall, I love this foundation! I will be repurchasing once I eventually run out. It's a must buy :-)

Tips: Moisturise well before applying,

Maybeline superstay better skin trial review.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this product, at first to be honest I was skeptical as I usually use MAC foundation, but wholeyyyy am I loving this super stay better skin!! The colour perfectly matches my skin, infact I think it is the best colour match I have ever had! I used this product with a primer underneath and then powder over the top, and it stayed put all day, 7.45am application right through to a 6pm removal with absolutely no retouching, and being spring I have had shocking hayfever and have been blowing my nose A LOT, and yet still this foundation stayed put! My skin seems a lot less dry also after using it. I can put my hand on my heart and genuinely recomend this product! The coverage is just perfect and doesn't feel cakey at all. I have used it on both really warm days and raining days and haven't once looked in the mirror and thought oh no look at my makeup! So thank you so much beauty review for giving me a far cheaper, yet equally as good (if not better) foundation option.xx

Tips: I would recommend using with a primer underneath and powder over the top for full coverage, but just using the foundation on its own for a lighter alternative :)

Better Skin - so far so true

I tried this foundation for 3 days and really enjoyed it. It says better looking skin in 3 weeks and I will definatly continue using it to see the results. I found that it was a really nice consistency and the coverage was good for me - I like a fuller coverage. It did last all day although there was one day where I was really busy at work and I found it went a little bit greasy. That was easily fixed though with a little powder over the top. Usually my skin feels a little dry, I think it is the air on in my office but I didn't have that at all while using this foundation. It really felt like it was moisturising my face somewhat. Overall, this is definatly a foundation that I would use again and will be continuing using it to see if it really does give me better skin in the long run.

Not for me

I was so excited to try this foundation, but unfortunately I have been disappointed. I did love how it went on easily and looked great when you have just finished doing your make-up, however I don't think the coverage lasted long enough. By the end of the day I felt like I was going home with no foundation on. Anyways I will continue to use it and see if it grows on me.
