Nice & light

After reading a few reviews I decided to buy this foundation and give it a try. I often find foundations to heavy on my face but this foundation is great. It was easy to match it with my skin tone and it just blends into my skin. It feels really light and it evens out my skin as well. I wouldnt say it made my skin better but it doesnt clock up my pores so thats a big improvement to me. I will stick with this foundation for sure. Thanks Maybelline!

Light to Medium Coverage with a perfect finish!

Firstly I'd like to address the colour range, which for such an affordable brand is relatively good; it starts at a very pale shade, great for me in winter and covers both yellow and pink undertones.

So let's talk finish: You're not gettting a full coverage foundation here. But what you are getting is a velvetty smooth finish that feels amazingly lightwieght and breathable on your skin. To me this makes it a great eveyday foundation, especially for those aged 16-25 looking to graduate to foundation who don't really have too much to hide!

For me I started getting patchiness around my dry areas and hairline after about 9 and a half hours of wear, so good longevity for a standard day of wear but not really something I wouldn't want to touch up if i was going out after work.

All in all a great foundation

Tips: I found it applied best with a damp beauty blender.

OK foundation

I don't know if it improves the appearance of my skin. It does cover my imperfections well, give a good coverage. It does not last me a whole day.

Impressed.

I work retail and do alot of heavy lifting, and I get grossly sweaty. I bought this foundation for around $7 off trademe which is ridiculously cheap. I bought shade cameo. First off I LOVE the pump bottle. Way easier to get product out, more hygenic and I don't end up with way more product than I need. I did two pumps and this covered my whole face. Coverage is alot better than expected, covered a couple spots I had on my chin very nicely, didn't cake up or look heavy which is great because I have dry skin and this is sometimes a problem for me. I found this to wear really well too, I did just over five hours of work, which in that time I worked up a sweat, and it didn't budge or melt on me one bit! Would definitely reuse this foundation as it's so cheap and looks amazing on.

Tips: Moisturise and prime before using, I used crops daily moisturiser, Maybelline master prime anti redness primer, and then to set this foundation the Maybelline fit me 120 pressed powder and elf mist set and spray.

Almost perfect

My skin is on the oily side and I really struggle to find a foundation that lasts really well. After reading about this product it sounded amazing - a foundation that looks after and improves your skin, who wouldn't want that?

It was really easy to apply/work with and the coverage was fantastic. I loved the way it felt and found that it didn't weigh down my skin or leave me looking or feeling like I had a bunch of make-up on. The look and design of the bottle is great, easy to use and very appealing to look at. The SPF20 is definitely a bonus with summer coming up

Tips: If you have oily skin I still recommend using a finishing powder to help the foundation last all day

Better Skin Alright!

When I was chosen for this trial, I was a bit skeptical. Foundation that improves skin? Whatever.

I love how I set my expectations so low... I'm always proved wrong! Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation actually improved my skin over 2 weeks! I had less colouration in my patches of imperfections within a week! This definitely works - just remember to take it off thoroughly the moment you don't need it on your skin at the end of the day. But that's just common sense!

The foundation itself is smooth, creamy and covers up problem areas very well. I went quite a light shade because I had a habit of getting the wrong tone, and this tone was perfect! (Ivory)

Also the "Superstay" part - does it really stay? I'd give it a 8/10 for clinging onto my oily face. The top foundation so far that I haven't had to reapply - I only had to reapply my top powder in the afternoons if I was going out after work and not straight home.

So overall - very impressed with this! Not only did it improve my skin slowly but also lasted a lot longer than other foundations I've tried in the past. Even my friends were asking what I was using!

Tips: Always carry a touch up powder with you in your handbag if you are like me cursed with oily skin. This foundation holds its coverage but like all make up, you'll get a bit shiny towards the end of your day.

Congrats on being on the trial, you wrote an impressive review! I'm wanting to try this but not sure if it would be suitable for my skin, what under tone are you?

Good but....

This product promised a lot from a simple product, and I think it's safe to say that it lived up to my expectations in some areas, but unfortunately not in others.

First off it definitely lasts. I have quite dry skin, so I used a primer underneath and the foundation did last all day. It creased a little on my forehead, and around my nose but apart from that it lasted really well and I was really impressed.

I must admit the colour that I picked up was a little off. I think that all the shades have a slight yellow undertone which wasn't 100% what I was looking for. This didn't make a huge difference, but I'll probably pick up the lighter shade when I'm in Farmers next!

But does it give you better skin? I am yet to be convinced of this but my skin hasn't been that bad as of late, so it's quite hard to tell. I can safely say that it doesn't look any worse!!

Tips: Use a primer most definitely, and also use a powder to set it. I found using my fingers to apply the foundation gave the best coverage too :)

Maybelline Superstay Foundation

A very good foundation! I don't always wear layers of make up, usually just a foundation and powder kind of girl on a day to day basis and so a good foundation to me is important. I really like this foundation, to the point when my current one runs out I might just have to go get one of these instead. It made my skin feel great and was nice and light to wear..I didn't feel like I was caking it on my face.

Maybelline foundation

I am currently using this foundation. I think its a great foundation. Leaves your skin looking smooth and flawless. It does what it says and last all day long. With a wide range of different colour tones to choose from im sure you will find the colour that best suits you. :)

Better skin? It's looking good

I won this from BR and it was just in time, I was running out of foundation and wasn't sure if i was going to change brands or not. I've been using this since and it's really good so far. It's easy to apply, it covers well and my complexion looks great! So far so good. And it goes a long way too - you don't need to use much for good coverage.

Tips: As always, apply with a foundation brush for best coverage
