Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

Firstly, unfortunately as yet, I’ve only tried this for a few days, as the wet weather delayed the courier. But, from what I have experienced so far, I am impressed. I have been applying this foundation after applying moisturiser and primer, and allowing both prior products time to absorb.

The pump bottle is great! Only a small amount comes out and I found this to be the perfect amount to cover my face when I used my fingers to spread. It is best to act quickly to get the best coverage or if you dab it onto areas that may normally need a bit more coverage first, then blend the rest of your face, it seems to give a fantastic even coverage with a matte finish. The lasting power is also pretty good. No oily forehead during the day, even the sneeze test left limited foundation on my tissue! I did find selecting the right colour a bit tricky, and may have gotten one a touch pale, however, I have now got new motivation to use my highlighter pallets - yah!

I have always been a lover of Maybelline foundations, they are affordable, look good, and last well. That being said, this foundation blows all my other Maybelline favourites out of the water!

24 hour full coverage is honestly an understatement. I wore this foundation on a big night to town, and like the gross girl I am, when I felt too exhausted (hungover) to put on a fresh face of makeup before I went to work the next morning, I realised I didn't need to because my foundation had stayed put from the night before! Not only that, but it then proceeded to stay put through an 8 hour work day! This stuff is incredible!

The formula is quite thick and requires a bit of blending to get a smooth look, but once it's on it really does provide a good, full coverage. I occasionally can have quite red skin that I struggle to properly conceal with foundation. However, after applying this foundation, plus a swipe of concealer, my skin has the perfect, even tone I wish it had naturally.

Overall, I was incredibly impressed with this foundation and will definitely be buying it again!

I love the no foundation, natural look, but unfortunately I need a bit of help from the beauty counters to cover up pigmentation and the odd blemish. I generally use a cover stick and then a sheer foundation to create a natural look. This foundation promises full coverage, so I was wondering if it was going to create that 80's heavy foundation look. I was impressed with the lovely natural looking coverage and silky feel of this foundation. The colour I received was soft beige - a very good match for my skin tone. It is lightly scented and I didn't have any breakouts or skin sensitivity issues using this. I like the packaging and I love the pump - no bacteria getting transferred into unused product. From a price point this offers very good value for money. I will be using this again and will be happy to recommend to others.

I really liked this foundation as it has staying power and great coverage that doesn't rub off easily. It makes your skin look flawless. It does however sweat off a bit in the heat throughout the day but probably not as much as other foundations do. I would recommend it to a friend as it is a reasonable price and does last better than other foundations I have used before.

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.

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.
