Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation has a created a good formula that doesn't feel too thick when applying.

The foundation smell was pretty neutral but it offered great coverage and it was pretty easy to blend (I only used fingers or sponges).

The packaging is simple but clean. I would prefer a lighter tube/container, but that's just me being picky.

I liked the pump as I could control how much foundation came out each time - so I could easily layer or touch up.

I didn't need to touch up at all during the day for my combination skin. I didn't find the foundation stayed on and needed a bit of rubbing/scrubbing for removal - the only real downside.

All in all, a good "super staying" foundation, thanks Maybelline!

For someone that has used the same foundation for many more years than I care to admit to, the opportunity to try something new was rather exciting!! Choosing the shade was difficult, and I didn't end up with the perfect colour match, probably a little paler than ideal but in the name of beauty gave it a go! Packaging - for some reason I kept trying to unscrew the lid, rather that lift it off, not sure why, I suspect that's just a thing that I do, rather than the norm. I like any packaging that shows the colour of the product so that if you have 2-3 of the same product you can tell at a glance which one you're picking up. I liked the pump dispenser and found it to disperse the product in a nice amount so no waste-age from over-dispensing. The foundation itself was smooth and creamy and went on nicely with the aid of my makeup sponge. I used a primer underneath, and because of the red cheeks, I also use a green corrector. The foundation went smoothly over the top and gave a surprisingly smooth flawless finish, no sign of any redness underneath. I did like the fact that it felt very light on, and didn't bother me at all during the day. All in all I was happy with the product and the coverage, my only complaint would be that by about 5pm in the afternoon my skin was starting to look and feel quite dry, but this would be a personal thing and shouldn't detract from others trying it out.

I was really impressed with this product, you dont need much, Its got good coverage on my older uneven skin and stayed on during a workout session, great product, very happy with it

The packaging is simple yet effective, - glass bottle with a white cover and pump. The bottle is clear so you can see what colour you are getting and it makes it easier to see when you are running out. The pump on the bottle dispenses just enough product so there's no wastage. The put on and pull off lid prevents any accidental spillages and keeps the product free from bacteria. A plus for me is that the formula is relatively fragrance free. I have normal to slightly dry skin that gets semi oily and a bit shiny in the T zone towards the late afternoon and in hot humid weather. I enjoyed using this foundation, it has a smooth semi-fluid texture and felt really lightweight to wear. I found it lasted well all day without feeling oily or greasy. It covered small imperfections like pores, blemishes and uneven skin tone. It's a full coverage foundation and a little will go a long way. I found it to be long-wearing and it stayed fresh and looked natural through heat and humidity. Whilst I didn't have the opportunity to test this foundation for a full 24 hours, I found that my makeup stayed put at least 12hrs without transfer or oxidisation. To apply the foundation I put a little bit on the back of my hand and then used a brush to deposit the product on to my skin blending outwards from the centre. I found the foundation applied well over moisturiser and was buildable when applied with a brush. It took a few minutes to dry down but presented a nice semi matte finish once set. I always apply powder over my tzone to ensure it lasts me the day. At first the colour seemed far too light for for my skin but after a few minutes the colour deepened slightly. I tested the 03 Ivory colour. I should probably have gone for the next shade as I did find it a bit too light for my skin tone. The finish is a natural, semi-matte that is easily buildable to a full coverage. For me using less foundation and blending out with a beauty blender or brush gives a nice medium natural looking coverage. This was a great foundation for my combination skin. In humid weather it was still perfectly in tact. It didn’t grab in dry places on my face, it always stayed even and did a good job of evening out my skin tone. I tend to get a little oily during the day, and I found this foundation was great at not sliding off, wearing away or making me look shiny. It was comfortable to wear. The foundation is best removed with an oil based cleanser, I use Lipidol cleansing oil. Overall, I found the Maybelline Superstay Makeup 24HR to be a really good reasonably priced foundation. It is suitable for anyone who is seeking long lasting coverage in a semi matte finish. Its great as a regular day to day foundation. One negative is that the foundation does not include a sunscreen making it necessary to apply another layer of product.

This foundation was super easy to apply a little goes a long way coverage was perfect evens out my skin tone so well without it looking like I'm wearing a whole bottle I like the pump top not messy stayed on all day so it's a great long wearing foundation I have combination skin and it made it look smooth all over I was very impressed with this foundation and I think it's well worth the money for sure I think it would suits all skin types from young to old to dry to oily and combination I loved it and would recommend everyone to give it a go at least once

I was really excited to receive the Maybelline Superstay 24hr Full Coverage Foundation in the colour I chose, Light Beige, as I have been on the hunt for a new foundation.

I like the packaging, simple but practical, a glass bottle and matte white lid. I love the pump as it makes dispensing the product so much easier. It pumps out a generous amount of product, has a nice consistency and a pleasant, foundation type scent.

The Light Beige was too light for me, it would probably be ok in the winter but gave me a ghost-like look. My first application was not long after my skincare routine and I found it difficult to apply using the flat end of my beauty blender and stippling it into my skin. I then tried a foundation brush which was worse. I found using my fingers tips to most effective in getting even coverage. At a distance I did have a flawless, if not pale, look but up close the foundation seemed to sit on top of my skin and shifted, giving me a cakey almost scaley look.

I tried again the following day, this time leaving 30 minutes between skincare and application. I also used a primer which certainly helped with a smoother application and the rounded edge of my beauty blender. I applied the second layer to get a full coverage look. In a short time, the product had creased and was pooling into streaks on my skin. Again, I had a scaly look.

I didn't get 24hr full coverage on either day. If anything I felt it highlighted my flaws of enlarged pores, fine lines, and oily t-zone which was due to the product rather than the wrong shade. On the night of the first application, there was very little product left to cleanse off. I had more product left at the end of the second day but had built it up and used a primer.

While the Maybelline Superstay 24hr Full Coverage Foundation was not for me it quite possibly would work well for someone with younger and more flawless looking skin.

So, I was really really excited, like kid in a candy store level excitement..to be chosen to trial the new Maybelline lip ink and this foundation! Let's get to it!

I really love the sleek modern square glass bottle and that it has a pump that measures the perfect amount and doesn't go everywhere when I put it on the back of my hand or my mixing palette.. Unlike my normal Estée Lauder double wear foundation does. They have an amazing range of shades but the shade I chose was #16P and the formula is a perfect liquid, not too thick not to thin but just right.. I thought I would try both with a slightly wet beauty blender and with my ChiChi mixed mediums #106 buffing brush.. It actually worked fantastically with both and I can't say I have a clear fav for application. I found the look of the foundation really lovely and it kind of reminded me of my double wear in coverage as it was med/heavy but easy to build up if more coverage was wanted. I found the 24hr claim for me was actually more of a 16hr time frame, not to be scoffed at as no touch ups were required through the super humidity we are having and I loved how matte the look was too! Teamed with a setting spray and matte powder, It really did stay put and my combination but verging on the dry side more, skin type really liked the formula. It did feel like I was wearing a full face of foundation so I also tried thinning it out with my normal Sukin face moisturizer and that worked really well for a less makeup look and feel too. To summarize I feel like if and when I run out of my double wear, I will definitely repurchase this!

Firstly I would like to thank Beauty Review for trusting me with this product to trial.

I am almost convinced that this is the ONE. I really enjoy using this foundation and I will definately purchase this once I have finished this trial bottle.

$33.99 for 30mls is great value in the world of foundations. This comes in a square clear glass bottle with a very convieniant plastic pump lid in white.

The shade I chose was sand, it was an amazing match considering I only had online swatches to look at.

I firstly used this foundation without a primer to see how it worked. I applied with my finger tiops as I usually do and it went on evenly and smoothly. I really liked the coverage it gave me, I do need a full cover foundation as I have quite an uneven skin tone. I am always concerned about getting a shiny look as the day goes on, however not one bit of a glow was present all day, thats a real plus for me! It is one of those foundations that while you are wearing it you actually dont realise it is on, it is very light weight. I was super happy with the staying power, it really stayed all day, until I cleaned it off that evening. I used my usual make up remover and it came off easily.

The following day I used a primer and had the same satisfying result. No shiny face or make up moving throughout the day.

Overall I am super happy with this foundation and will repurchase it when next I require a new foundation.

I was lucky enough to be selected for a trial team to review this product! Firstly I love the packaging of this foundation, it’s sleek and clean looking. This is a super full coverage foundation! It has a thick creamy texture (it doesn’t run once pumped onto the back of your hand also yay for a pump!!) and I didn’t notice a scent. The shade I chose was light beige which was a touch too light for me however it slightly darkened after initial application and I was able to darken it up with bronzer I have tried two application methods, one with a brush and one with a beauty sponge. I have combination to dry skin and with a brush this foundation emphasised all the texture on my face and looked like it was sitting on my skin but with a damp beauty sponge it was a much much better application and it looked more seemless on my face and less cakey than with a brush. It was easy to blend in both with a sponge and with a brush. This foundation lasted a full 12 hours for me both with and without a primer however I preferred the finish with the primer. There was def no oiling up for me with this super Matte coverage. It has a very matte finish so if you are like me and have dry skin, a hydrating primer is likely essential and you will need to add extra light with other products. I don’t think the shade range was very big however so make sure you colour match of look on a foundation matching website et your shade. So if you like the matte look then this foundation is for you.

I've been on the search for a new foundation for a while now, so I jumped at the chance of trialling this. Luckily when it arrived it was a fairly close match for my 'tan' (aka joined up freckles). This comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a pump. The white plastic lid does cheapen the packaging somewhat which is a shame as this product compares well to other long lasting foundations which are double the price.

I applied this using my fingers as I can never be faffed with foundation brushes or sponges. I needed one and a bit pumps. This isn't as spreadable as some foundations so it's best to focus on part of your face at a time as once this stuff sets, there is no budging it. I have worn this outside all day on Sports Day, in a torrential rain storm and whilst trying on clothes and it didn't shift, transfer, cake or fade. I put it to the ultimate test - my very first Zumba class! Now I know I was sweating like crazy and that I would've have been bright red underneath this but you could not tell. I just had a nice dewy glow. In fact I think I looked like the lady who wears too much makeup to the gym as it still looked like I did when I applied it in the morning.

You will need a good cleanser to get this off. I recommend double cleansing with a hot cloth and an oil balm. I don't think anything less would be effective in getting this off which could led to skin issues. Whilst I still prefer a dewy finish, this is not a flat looking matte like some so I will continue to use it until those freckles fade. I recommend this to anyone who wants to 'set and forget' their foundation and just get in with their day.
