Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation Review

I was really excited to try this out ! I am still using it now rather than my double wear - it's just hard not to go back to it . There was a few things that didn't go well for me as I did break out quite a bit in the beginning but now my skin has smoothed out and feels great. Also I ended up playing basketball in it and it didn't last the whole game . ( that game was after work so it was a long game) . It gives an awesome finish and covered all my imperfections. I would definitely recommend !!

Well I was not sure about this product to be honest I didn't think a foundation could improve your skin .... But I was wrong. I found this product quite dry the ! st day so the 2nd day I put it on straight after I had moisturised and it was much better. It does what it says Stays on all day and let me tell you My skin is looking great even without make. I love this product and would happliy recommend it to anyone. it covers redness sun spots freckles and I have a friend who has a birthmark on her cheek and she tried it and it even cover that as well. It is light to wear and easy to remove I will be buying this in the future :)

I have quite sensitive skin but this product did not irritate my skin at all. The consistency is creamy but as i tried to blend it in it took a while and i could see lines from me trying to rub it into the skin so it wasn't as great as i thought it would be. I have a little bit of acne scaring but it didn't cover it very well, it was good for my under eye circles and that was about it. It stays on for up to 8 hours and does not need much touch ups. When applying it I didn't need to use much at all and the packaging is great and is very easy to get the foundation out of the bottle. I have to say i thought this product would work better for coverage but one thing it does do well is make your skin look better after using it for a couple of weeks my skin is less oily now and appears much smoother now. I don't know if i will use this product again as i like a bit more coverage from a foundation but for keeping my skin looking it's best and not not giving me acne this works great. I would recommend this foundation to people with little acne and scaring or people wanting a more natural look and better looking skin after using it for a few weeks.

I have quite oily skin and large pores, normally make up just "slides" right off or worse sits on my pores making them more noticable, when I heard about better skin foundation I thought maybe it would be a winner.. When I first applied it I liked it, on its own its medium coverage but with a bb underneath it's pretty full coverage, it felt nice and light and blended easily. But that's where the happiness stopped, I blew my nose and it transferred badly, by 5 o'clock it was pretty much gone, not put off though I tried the next day with primer to see if that helped but again it just didn't last the distance so I went to powder, under and over the foundation, it did last better but still not all day! After a few days my skin started to break out as well, so I think my journey with this foundation is over and I will be continuing the hunt for the "one" ;)

I usually only wear BB cream and a powder so wearing a full coverage foundation really made a difference to the appearance of my skin. It covers my acne and scarring well. It glides on easily and can be worked out with a brush nicely. I found myself washing my face at lunchtime and reapplying because my face as too oily. This may be because my skin isn't used to wearing a heavier foundation. I wore it out dancing with a powder on top and it stayed flawless so I'm impressed with that. I'm not sure about the claims that it improves the skins appearance but my skin is looking better and this may be one of the elements that contributed to it.

By golly I was excited to put this stuff to the test, and super excited to be chosen on the review team. The hype around this new product was (and still is) huge. Why is this you ask? Maybelline have done something pretty radical and made a foundation that promises better skin in 3 weeks. Foundation that gives you better skin? What is this madness? Dubbed as a dupe for Double Wear, this foundation had big shoes to fill. Here are my thoughts on this new offering from Maybelline:

It comes in a clear glass bottle with a blue pump and a clear plastic lid. The packaging is fine, nothing fancy, I’d even go as far to say that Maybelline may have missed an opportunity here to really up the ante on their packaging. With respect to the product itself, the foundation is a creamy, medium thickness liquid that spreads like a charm without losing coverage, and so I found application with my fingers to be a breeze. I did find that it looked a lot more awesome when I had primed my skin beforehand, as otherwise it tended to sit into lines of the skin a bit. This is a medium to full coverage foundation that covers pretty much everything. Yes, it does have similar coverage to Double Wear, but unlike Double Wear, it doesn’t feel like it is suffocating your skin. It has a fairly natural finish, I wouldn’t really put it under the matte category but it certainty isn’t dewy either. I quite liked it actually, my skin looked like real skin afterwards, but slightly more radiant and healthy. On the bottle it says all day wear. This I’m not so sure about; whilst it did have better staying power than the majority of foundations I tried, it still needed touching up at around 4pm following an application at around 7am.

Now for the shade. For those who haven’t read any of my other reviews, I’m basically about as fair skinned as they come. I am pleased to announce that this foundation in 005 Light Beige was just light enough for me to wear. And when I say just, I’m not kidding. It was really on the borderline of being too dark and too warm but it passed the the shade test by a whisker. A great summer foundation for me then. So if you’re fair, go for gold and get Light Beige. If you are off the charts fair, like yours truly, maybe double check in store first. I shall now address the claim of better skin in three weeks. I have had 2 weeks to test this, and in that time I had a breakout at the start (which I put down to uni exam stress) but then pretty much didn’t see an appreciable change in my skin. I think time will have to tell with this one. I like the idea of a vitamin C infused product, but I don’t think this is a miracle worker.

I think it’s a decent price at 34 dollars, and I anticipate it lasting me a good few months. All things considered, this is a good quality foundation that is worth a look if you fancy a change. In my opinion, it falls slightly short of some of its claims, but it definitely performs better than many products in its price bracket.

This Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation is by far now my favourite foundation. It goes on so smoothly and clean and doesn't dry my skin out like other foundations I have used in the past. It has a great coverage and smooths out the tones of my skin evenly. I also found with using this foundation regularly since I got it, it doesn't leave my skin irritated or make my skin break out which is a serious bonus! Great consistency and not too thick or cakey while making my skin look flawless. It also doesn't feel like I'm wearing heaps of foundation when I use it, as it is quite light. I will definitely purchase this product from now on and recommend it to my friends! It also matches my skin tone perfectly. Super happy with this foundation :)

I find normally liquid foundations can be a bit heavy and can leave a shiny look and make me breakout thus I normally only wear it when going out with friends etc. and always use powder over the top. This product felt lightweight yet had full coverage and gave my skin a matte look. The foundation had fantastic staying power and my skin didn't get shiny or greasy. the pump bottle it came in was fantastic (really easy to use). It was a bit hard to spread onto my skin (meaning I used a bit more than I normally would). Also i must say the one thing I was looking forward too was skin evening that I haven't seen much of which is a disappointment,

but overall it is a full coverage foundation it worked well and I will be buying again.

When I go looking for a foundation I generally cannot find one that has good coverage for the redness in my face without having too much coverage everywhere else. But I found this product to be wonderful. It gave me even skin tone and the redness in my cheeks was covered well. I wear a white uniform to work with a collar so was a bit worried that the color would rub off onto my top however it didn't. Not once. I'm very happy! I've also found that my skin is feeling softer, even though it hasn't been three weeks yet. Really good product which I would definately recommend.

I have used this product for 2 weeks now. I chose the colour Sand which was a shade darker than what I prefer so next time I will go slightly lighter. The pump action bottle is great and I found that I only required a small amount of foundation for all over coverage. I use my fingertips to apply my foundation. Although the product goes on nice and evenly I did not like the texture and found it grainy like applying a scrub to my face. Saying that though once I had applied it the coverage was nice and even and my skin felt really smooth and soft and no trace of the grainy texture once applied. I did try applying a primer first and my blur cream but it didn't make a difference to the texture. The foundation itself did stay on all day. I tend to rub my face quite a but during the day and even so my foundation stayed on. I did find though that towards the end of the day my T zone started getting oily (but not to a huge extent). The foundation also washed off easily with my facial wash. Overall I was very impressed with the product. My skin texture has definitely improved over the last 2 weeks and feels a lot smoother. The only negative which may prevent me using this product again would be the texture
