Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation

I really like this powder and I apply it over a BB cream. It is so soft and smooth to apply and leaves a really lovely matte finish. It is long lasting - I haven't tested 24 hours but still looked good and felt nice (no caking or drying) after 10 hours.

It comes with a sponge in the bottom compartment of the compact, but it is really thin, which I don't like - feels too floppy. I have replaced the sponge with a bigger one, which unfortunately doesn't fit in the bottom of the compact. But other than that, I really like this product and will buy it again.

Superstay Foundation? Superstay It is!

I love powder foundations due to my oily skin I prefer not to use liquid foundations so when I came across this one I was keen to try it.

The coverage is medium but buildable without looking cakey. You can layer it and it will still look great.

The powder goes on smooth and silky especially if using the powder sponge it comes with, this will also give you a fuller coverage application. For a lighter more buildable coverage use a powder brush.

There’s no noticeable scent to the powder so if you’re sensitive to smells you need not worry.

I got caught in the heavy rain whilst wearing this foundation and I was amazed to see that the water just trickled off my face leaving my foundation unbothered so it is definitely waterproof.

As I mentioned I do have oily skin but this foundation held up against that.

I usually use a liquid foundation and have been regularly horrified looking in the mirror at the end of the work day to find my foundation has slid off parts of my face and is super patchy. I’ve tried swapping out my setting spray, primer and moisturiser, but it’s time I admitted the problem comes down to the foundation.

It was easy enough to choose the right Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation colour for me from swatches online. It comes in a cute white compact with a small sponge conveniently included in the bottom of the packaging which is also sturdy enough to keep the product safely enclosed in my makeup bag.

I’ve been applying the Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation using the included sponge after applying concealer (another Maybelline Superstay product!) where it’s needed. It builds so well that I was initially concerned it looked a bit powdery and ghost-like, and I’m not used to seeing my pores! But looking in the mirror later with the day I was happy with the approach, and it lasted! I was just left with a few missing patches around my nose where my glasses sit.

If you still prefer a liquid foundation, the Maybelline Superstay 24H Hybrid Powder Foundation works really well as a setting powder which makes everything stay where I apply it.

A clear, convenient compact houses the Maybelline foundation. Top storey has the product itself, ground floor a mirror and a thin sponge.

The foundation felt so light I did wonder if it would ‘last all day’ as claimed. It did! It covered quite well and twice the product was all I used after cleansing for a good result all day long. This is far less dense than a liquid foundation, and much more economical in that the compact will provide good foundation for many months, there is no over-do with this one. I like the matte finish and natural look despite the product being very lightweight.

Cleansing at the end day was simple and no dryness noticed.

With its easy application and most safe and convenient compact, Super Stay is a perfect take-anywhere product so that touchups can be done, although I found there was no great necessity to do that.

I was lucky enough to be picked to review this product. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong shade for my skin so this review will be based on the functionality and whether it did what it says it would and not necessarily how it looked on my skin.Getting the wrong shade was 100% my fault amd no reflection on beauty review or maybelline.

The product comes in a nice little compact disc type shape. It's easy to open and close and as it is mix between liquid and powder, isn't flaky or messy.

The disc is easy to open and close and is simple yet chic looking.

I found the product easy to apply and is smooth and visable enough that you can ensure you are great great coverage.

I have combination skin so found it did cover blemishes but maybe not a much as I would have liked as did have to apply 3 or 4 times on a couple of breakout zones. I am not into the shiny or shimmery look when it comes to foundation so am happy to say that this looks smooth and the finished look would be what I would want from a foundation/powder. I am more of a natural look girl and this gave me that to a certain extent (or would have if I had gotten the right shade).

The maybelline superstay 16 hour powder did last the day and deffinietly is the sweat, heat and oil proof as per its claims. This is a massive bonus for me - I spend a lot of time outdoors and don't always have the closeness of a mirror or a facility to be able to do touch-ups. It's a massive bonus to know that I can rely on the Maybelline Superstay 16 hour powder to take me through the day.

My local maybelline stockist has sold out of this product but I will be buying some (in the right shade), once they are back in stock. I believe it retails for around $30 which is a bargain in my opinion.

I was very excited to test the Maybelline Super stay Powder foundation. My job often includes picking orders in a hot warehouse and by the end of the day my make up is definitely not how it started. Firstly love the packaging, it's a lovely slim compact which fits easily into a pocket in your hand bag. It contains a thin application sponge which works well but I prefer to use a bigger sponge. The foundation applies nicely and has a nice Matt finish. I found it was great for evening out my redness and although it didn't fully cover any blemishes it definitely minimised them visually. It has a super light, almost not there, feel on the skin which I love, I prefer a light make up so this was perfect for me. I love the Matt finish which eliminated my shiny T Zone. The product removes easily with Micellar water which I always find a worry with Super stay products. This one wiped clean very easily. I wore this on a busy work day where I spent most of my day picking orders, it's hot, tiring work and the foundation stayed beautifully in place with no caking in creases or disappearing due to a mild hot glow. Overall I was very impressed with the Maybelline Super stay Foundation, it has definitely found its way into the top spot in my make up bag and u can see me purchasing this in my future.

I love trying out new foundation and this one sounded right up my alley! I have dry skin but I definitely prefer a matte finish. I have quite pale skin so I choose the shade 03 True Ivory.

It comes in a plastic compact with a separate compartment for the little sponge. I never really use this as I prefer to apply my foundation with my RT sponge.

I prepped my skin well then applied all over. I would call it medium coverage which is what I like for my skin. It went on easily and covered my redness and a couple spots I had. It makes your skin feel really silky!

I found that it looked a bit patchy around my eyebrows and my chin but the main issue was the colour match, it was super pale and I looked like a ghost lol. Quite weird as I have always been ivory or true ivory and usually only ever have issues with it being too dark!

I kept it on and wore it around the house for the day. I found it wore just ok, it seemed to settle in my pores and really accentuated them. For me the best way to wear it is to apply over my BB cream, it makes my skin look flawless that way.

My advice is make sure you go into a store to check out the colour range as mine was way off. I feel like it is definitely more suited to oily skin rather than dry skin like mine. Not something I would repurchase.

Once receiving this a product, I was quite excited how it is presented. You can see the shade of the powder from the case, which can help when trying to compare colours. But underneath this, is a sponge and mirror! It’s great if you’re out and about.

I always apply my foundation around 10 minutes after skincare and sunscreen.

I first tried applying the foundation with the sponge and it gives a full coverage.

I preferred to use this after my liquid foundation. I would apply it with a brush. It gives the most amazing finish!! It makes my skin look really beautifully airbrushed. I like that you’re able to do a light coverage but also build it up.

My foundation still looks great 12 hrs after applying. I have not kept it on for 24hrs so cannot comment but n that!

Great foundation: I’ll be repurchasing!

Was super easy to use and provided me with great coverage, I applied using the sponge included. Comes in a compact with a mirror and separate compartment to store the sponge, so made it great to pop into my handbag.

Provided a soft matte finish, weightless feel that was sweat proof, water proof and transfer proof with no caking.

Lasted all day and continued to look fresh.

Available in chemist, department stores and supermarkets, so super easy to purchase.

Comes in a range of colours to suit any skin tone at an affordable price.

I was excited to try this as I have had so much trouble with finding a foundation that will last the day. This is an easy to open compact that comes with a sponge for application and a mirror. As I was in a hurry on the first day of use I used neither. I couldn't find anywhere that said whether to apply with a damp sponge or dry, so went with damp. It goes on easy and although it says medium to full coverage, I found it to be more medium. First use I only had moisturizer underneath no primer. It was fairly even, although I have super dry patches so found this highlighted those more than other foundations. Love the way it felt on my skin, as it says, it feels very lightweight. Second day I used a primer and again with the damp sponge. I found this made it settle into my fine lines more and went kind of chunky. Third day on and I have used a dry sponge to apply. It is much easier this way and applies better. I'm still finding its not ideal for skin that has super dry patches and it seems to make my fine lines a little more pronounced but I am hopeful my skin will even out a little with the warmer weather on the way. Over the weekend, I worked several hours and then came home and did the lawns. While it didn't look quite as good as when first done in the morning, I was surprised at how well it did last with it still looking fairly even. The shade I received is possibly not quite right but it still works for me. As far as foundations go, this would be the best I have found so far. It lasts reasonably well the entire day with no touch ups, is lightweight and easy to apply which is great for me as I'm not great with makeup. Definitely be looking at getting this foundation again.
