Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

I am just amazed to use Maybelline Superstay 24hr Full Coverage Foundation in Golden shade. It definitely does what it says. The shade is just perfect for my skin tone. It is lightweight and can be used in day time as well or in a regular use. I used it without applying my concealer on pigmented areas and it actually covered all flaws. I intentionally applied it in the morning when it was hot to see how it goes when I will go out and I was surprised to see my make up did not melt, no cracks/flakes, no patches and I still had the natural look after I came back home. This is something I have been looking for and luckily I got it. I was also fearful for having itchy skin to apply it in day time as I normally experience and avoid applying foundation in summers in day time but I did not feel it although I had a little sweat on my face which I pat dry without having a stain on my tissue.

This has got to be my new go to foundation. Stays on all day with. Perfect coverage and good match to my skin. I put it on before work and still going strong when I get home. Usually with my other foundation I could touch my face and it comes off in my hand. This foundation doesn't do this. Definitely recommend this foundation.

This gives full coverage, blends easily, and feels light and never tight. A little pump (I love pump applicators- less messy, more hygienic, keeps product fresher) goes a long way. I got a shade that, truthfully and very unusually, was a little too light for my very pale skin(NC10 usually, 03 True Ivory here). This is pretty unheard of for me as I always, in consultations, get matched to the lightest hue. Never mind, with a touch of bronzer (I use anyway) and blush, I reach room temperature and I don't look like I work at Hot Topic. My aging yet acne-besmirched face saw no streaking nor any blotchiness- none after application anyhow. I have facial hyperhidrosis which means I sweat buckets- not ideal for a make-up lover. I have tried many foundations, and even a fancy toner used on Broadway stars, and Superstay is by far the most resilient formula. With other products, my make-up has melted off, resulting in uneven coverage and many orange-tainted napkins. Not Superstay- it is super for a sweaty betty.

I went for Nude Beige - it was a touch light but the undertones were spot on, so I'll definitely use this as my tan fades!

The glass bottle is very sleek, the white lid matches the Superstay Lip Ink.

I had no trouble applying this with a blender, brush or my fingers, whatever way I applied it was easy to blend to a smooth, even finish. The finish is matte, but it isn't flat. Even pre-highlight, my skin still looked alive, it isn't a matte finish that sucks the life out of your look.

Sans primer, but on a well moisturised face, this foundation lasted the day at work - and it didn't sweat off after my evening walk. I haven't left it on for 24hours (I love my pillowcase too much to risk it) but 14 hours is the most I'm ever gonna ask of a foundation - my all-nighters are way behind me!

I actually felt after wearing this my usual oily spots (t-zone) were less oily, but my dry cheeks also felt a little more dry. So you'll definitely want to pay attention to moisturising before and after using.

All up, I think the price is great, the product lasts the day, is economical to use, and leaves an even, matte finish. If you're after a matte foundation, what more could you want?!

I have high foundation expectations. My expectations for a long wearing full coverage foundation are even higher. I had a super positive experience with the Maybelline fit me matte and poreless so I had VERY high expectations for this foundation.

For starters thank god Maybelline has answered our prayers and given us a pump!! the only hassle with fit me is the lack of pump, so I am loving the fact that this foundation has a pump. The bottle is glass, feels good, looks good. Packaging is a tick.

The colour. I am very fair and drugstore brands usually do not go super fair. I was prepared to be wearing an orange foundation even though I got the lightest shade but Maybelline has managed to nail it again with this colour range for pale skin! (can not comment on dark colours as not sure how they match.)

This foundation claims to be full coverage and long wearing. Would I say this is the fullest coverage I have ever used, no but it is definitely a medium - full coverage buildable. I like the coverage for this, I can cover any redness or blemishes that may be happening and I don't feel like I need to add any extra coverage on top.

The formula I found was quite matte. I have combination skin so this was working well for the majority of my face although there were a few dry patches that it clung to slightly but not noticeable enough to bother me. This foundation definitely stayed matte for most of the day and was not sticky at all.

Wear time, it definitely lasted on me. It claims 24 hours but I didn't wear it for 24 hours because who wants to do that, but I wore it for a solid 14 hours and after a bit of powdering I would still have been happy to go out again with the foundation looking fine.

Overall I think this foundation is really good. It lasts a long time. It has a really good coverage. It has a good pump and packaging and its easy to get. I don't think there is anything I would change about this foundation, Maybelline has stepped up their foundation game in the last year or so and I am not disappointed in this foundation at all.

i dont wear alot of make up but was excited to try this is a pump and just enough came out not to much there was no smell.and the coverage was great i didnt need alot so this would last alot longer.it felt light to wear the only thing i found as im very fair i picked a colour that made my skin lighter.i would buy this and it stayed on all day till i cleaned my skin

... maybe it's this insanely good new offering from Maybelline.

I'm always sceptical about lofty claims like 'Full Coverage' and 'Superstay!' but you know what? They live up to what they promise, and I'm super impressed.

Shade selection wasn't simple for the trial, as I couldn't swatch (of course!) but I managed to find a shade that's utterly perfect for my skin apart from the day after freshly tanning - I'll probably go up a shade when I repurchase - and I WILL be repurchasing. In the meantime, a little bronzer on top of this brings it up to perfect.

The packaging is standard for a the brand - nothing super unique but an attractively presented square clear glass bottle with a white top, and subtle silver/pink labelling. 30 mls is a decent size for foundation, so I think it's value for money in this size.

The pump has already leaked ever so slightly but the lid fits well and i'm reasonably confident about leaving it in my makeup bag even when travelling. The pump is white plastic as well, and (amazingly) one pump dispenses enough foundation for a full face. Well done on that one Maybelline!

The foundation is mid -consistency; not runny or super thick. It spreads and applies well, but requires buffing to get it to blend fully - no worries as I do this anyway. It has a very faint scent that I barely notice.

The foundation, once applied, wears beautifully. I've tried it over various illuminators, primers and moisturisers, and topped with a couple of diff powders, and it has interacted well with everything I've tried. Longevity is impressive - it survived a festival; hours in the sun in crowds of people and 27 degree heat without a worry.

I haven't had any negative reactions from my skin, it seems to really like this foundation.

Removal was easy with oil cleanser, but tougher with both facial wipes and micellar water. It appears to need to be dissolved a little then the full face cleansing to remove every trace - that's the tradeoff I guess!

I'll definitely be repurchasing this in both this shade and a slightly darker one - i think I've found my new HG foundation.

This Superstay foundation has a medium consistency- not too thick but not watery either, just the right consistency to ensure it is easy to blend into your skin. I have applied it both with my beauty blender and with a brush and I have found they both look very similar so there is not one I prefer over the other. It has a very faint scent but not enough to make a difference on whether or not I'd use it. I love the coverage it gives- it is a full coverage foundation and is very lightweight yet buildable. I have some redness on my cheeks and I have found I needed very little foundation to cover it. This foundation really lives up to it's superstay name as It lasted all day and still looked like it did when I applied it when I got home a good 12 hours later!

The packaging is like any other maybelline foundation however I absolutely love the pump! It is super handy and one pump covers my whole face. I think this product would be very economical as one bottle would last ages especially without having to reapply foundation throughout the day and the price is very good for a foundation of this quality!

I really liked this foundation, after not having tried a matte foundation until this one. I have found this foundation to be great on my normal/ combination skin while using it the past few days. It lasted all day without getting cakey or separating around my nose as some foundations tend to do. I love the fact that it is fade and transfer proof as there was no need to worry about getting makeup on people when hugging, or when changing clothes.

I had a bit of foundation anxiety with this one, I always find it a bit difficult to find one that matches my skin tone. I was amazed to find that this one in true ivory blended into my skin flawlessly. It is full coverage thank goodness and actually felt really natural on my skin. I did my usual make up routine which involves primer and a mattifying powder on top and it lasted the whole day and didn't get cakey or shiny. After years of using super expensive foundations I have been converted and found my perfect foundation match that's kind on my bank account.

I'm not huge on foundations, I'm a total tinted moisturiser addict normally. But I was given the chance to try this product out and it was a revelation! I went back and forth on colours a bit (the joys of skin colour changes from winter to summer), but the one I ended up choosing was a perfect match. I first tried it out by applying with my fingers, I had to work quite quickly but did get good coverage and it was lovely, smooth and matte (as promised). The next day I had used a different moisturiser to start the day and the foundation spread much easier, it lasted fantastically during the day until I washed my face. As a third application I used a sponge (rare for me) but I found that the foundation was easiest to apply and gave the best finish. The product gave good coverage, blending and covered up any imperfections. I really liked the matte finish, especially as I have a tendency towards shiny, sweatiness recently in the heat and humidity - I was impressed that the foundation stood up to it! Overall I really like this product and will purchase it again.
