Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

I’m happy I didn’t pay full price for this, this just didn’t work that well for me. Generally I like Maybelline products a lot and used their foundations before and they were better than this one. I thought maybe since this was fairly new it’s better/does more etc.

The colour somehow ended up much lighter on my skin than expected, but I could still work with it. Coverage isn’t too bad, but to me it isn’t full coverage either. It works best with a wet beauty sponge for me personally, which obviously makes it lighter coverage immediately as well.

However, with a brush or with my fingers it did set into my fine lines too much and makes my dryer areas look flaky. I will use this up next winter with a heavier moisturiser underneath, but I won’t repurchase. I think I’m just not the right demographic for maybelline foundations anymore, as I always forget that I’m now 30 and it’s so hard to not buy products/brands that were working for me 10 or so years ago. :/

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.

This product has it all. Although not too expensive I wish we had it at a more comparable price to USA. However a drugstore brand i cased in a glass component, has a pump and is uniquely square shaped. The shade I got was for my winter shade to use everyday. I found this to be a bit pink and could've had a warmer undertone, but we made it work. Consistency wise its quite thin and runny. Easy to apply, using a beauty blender I haven't delved into the brush as it's not my choice of tool. I use this almost everyday and it has a build able coverage not quite full but rather light to medium. I use this over top of colour corrector and my primer. It layers well, and doesn't go patchy on my normal to combo skin however my skin during winter has been a bit drier I haven't found that this enhances that flaw. If anything I found that this is a semi matte finish but by the days end becomes quite slick and flush looking. I layer concealer over top and it holds quite well. Then powder over top to set the face. I find that this foundation will give me a good day's wear but by 3:00 there is definitely signs of slipping and alot of oiliness that being said my skin has been quite dry this winter and this didn't make a difference to the performance of the product and I would be left looking quite slickly dewy. The creases and corners by my nose has less coverage because of the product slip, but that's by the days end. However with all this mentioned I continue to use it for the affordable price and the actual coverage. I can easily apply it and it doesn't break the bank.

I bought this recently after a friend recommended it to me, she was absolutely blown away so I thought I should give it a go. Matte foundations aren't usually my first pick, but ohhh my gosh I have fallen in love with this! The coverage on this is just insane and so is the staying power! I have combo skin and I feel like this lasts really well all day on my skin and so far I haven't had any issues with separation around the nose and chin like I usually do with other foundations, this also doesn't leave me looking like an oil slick by the end of the day! The only thing is I'm finding it hard to find a good shade, they seem to be a bit yellow for me so I'm having to mix a couple together and it still doesn't seem right, but hopefully they release more!

I didnt expect much from this foundation but OMG it delivered!!

Firstly - my skin is normal-dry depending on the day - so usually anything marketed as full coverage or 24 hour wear does NOT work for me and leaves me dry and patchy!

The coverage on this foundation is great - I use 1-1.5 pumps for full face, pretty full coverage. I personally dont like building it up too much more as it tends to look a bit heavy and cakey, not that you really need to build it up anyway.

Only downside is the shades are a bit whack - there arent very many shades, and they are oddly named (for example I am 010 Ivory, wheras in other foundations I am usualy a light-medium!) so if you cant get to any testers definitely look up some swatches online or on YT.

This foundation is such a good price I really recommend anyone who is interested to try it. I have almost finished my first bottle and will be buying a 2nd.

This is now my favourite foundation. After reading all the great reviews I had to buy some but I waited till it was on special. I was very lucky to pick a shade that matched, because I purchased at countdown where there are no testers. The coverage is pretty good medium buildable to full coverage. And it has a pump which is good so it's not messy.

This is a great budget foundation it's made on France and it's as good as some of the top of the line foundations. It has great pigment it lasts all day, it's a flawless finish and very natural. I applied it with a flat sponge and it went on really well and quick. I have combination skin so I like matte finish foundations and this is a great matte shine free finish, I purchased 28 soft beige it's perfect for neutral skin tones It's great for summer when your in the heat and swimming a lot it just lasts through everything. I think it would be great in winter as well when all the heaters are on it would still look great after a few hours of sitting on front of the fire and wouldn't melt off. It's also transfer resistant waterproof kind of anything proof, you could probably wear it to boot camp and come out flawless. Don't get the first maybelline 24 hour foundation as it's not as good as this one, this one is much better coverage and more natural. Farmers has great specials on maybelline

(My skin type-combination) This product is beautiful! It blends beautifully and drys down to a smooth soft finish, it's also transfer proof. It smooths over poses and doesn't settle into fine lines. A good selection of shades. For me I would say this is a "Medium" to "Full" Coverage. It is buildable and it sits perfectly on the skin. Definitely a Super Stay foundation. They did a good job with this product.

The consistency of this product is beautiful. It's silky smooth and thin, but provides medium coverage with just one layer. I wasn't able to get an even finish using my fingers, so used my beauty blender which worked well.

The product looked good upon application, but settled into pores after a couple of hours. I tested it with and without primer and powder and had the same result each time. It lasts all day.

I found it quite hard to remove compared to my usual foundations. I needed an oil-based cleanser to remove it.

I received this as part of the BR trial which I am thankful for as this was the first time I have tried a foundation product. Unfortunately I picked the wrong shade (Nude Beige) from the swatch, it was far too light. But I will put that down to newbie experience.

Packaging was glass so you could easily see the shade of the foundation. Had a white top lid, very smart looking. The pump also distributed a nice amount of product, only took 2 pumps to do my face. Consistency was quite liquidy. Does smell like "cosmetics" but no distinct scent.

I found this surprisingly easy to blend, I used a damp beauty blender and the end result looked really nice. It felt very lightweight which I found surprising for a foundation product. Had it been the right shade I feel like this would be a good foundation option for me.
