Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation Review

I actually won this from entering a competition on Facebook, but would of definitely gone out and bought it. Coverage is medium to full. It has a nice creamy texture, glides on smooth and doesn't have a smell to it which I love!! I found it covered my dark circles, so I don't have to use concealer which is a bonus. Not sure if it improves your skin though, will have to wait and see. Wears well during the day and non transfer (just need to let it dry for a couple of minutes).

I didn't get picked for this review but was in the warehouse yesterday and a maybelline rep was there, she matched up my color which was darker in the bottle but not on, it looked great and VERY natural, it is light and wears well and covers with out looking cakey, I really like it. It is extremely easy to apply and seems to last well, I didn't use primer, they also have a concealer but I haven't tried that yet. It would be excellent to wear every day. One pump seems to be enough to use so i think it will really last. I do need to use moisturiser first. Recommended

After all of the hype surrounding this foundation I decided to go out and buy it for myself. At around $32 from my local New World - it seems to be a very affordable, easy to find product. I brought it in the shade "sand".

I have super oily, acne prone skin, and I found that this product applied really well using a stippling brush. It gives a good day to day medium coverage, and I applied a little extra with a concealer brush to scars/ red marks.

I love that this stays on all day, without making me look like an oil rig. For the first time ever I have not been using powder over my foundation and it is still sitting well with my skin.

I will say that when I applied acne cream the night before (leaving me with a slightly dry patch on my chin), that the product did look a little flakey in that area. I think this would possibly not suit dry skinned people.

I haven't noticed any "Better Skin", or clearer skin as such... However I think this is a great day to day, work wear type foundation that is affordable and does the job.

I won one of these from the giveaway Maybelline ran on their Facebook page. Unfortunately I selected the wrong shade (too light), but nonetheless, I did use it a few times just to trial it to see if it was worth a repurchase in a deeper shade.

For starters, it comes in a pump style dispenser so it's easy to control how much product you need. I found (after primer/BB base) that 2 pumps was ample product to give me a nice, even cover.

It's a very lightweight, super blendable cream that gave me a flawless, dewy finish. I would say it's medium to full coverage, depending on how you build it.

It wears well for an office work day, not really needing a touch up at all aside from a light pat with my powder to dull a bit of oily sheen around my nose/chin. (This is due to my skin type though, not the foundation formula).

I didn't use this long enough to make any judgment on the better skin claim, but based on my personal results from my limited use, I will most definitely be repurchasing this in the right shade for me.

This foundation is a nice consistency. Not to watery, not to thick. it doesn't set too quickly so there's time to blend it out on your skin. I expected a dewey finish with this foundation, as the packaging promises it will energise your skin, but the finish is actually quite matte. One thing to be aware of it that it can go a bit cakey on any dry patches, or if I try to build it up to a fuller coverage foundation. I really like that it doesn't oxidise on the skin and give off any orange tones as some drugstore foundations do.

I normally use Revlon colour stay but after running out of it I thought I'd give this ago. I am so pleased I did. I love it. I have only been using it for about two weeks, and I love how it feels on my skin. It gives good coverage which is can be anything from light to full coverage depending on what I want or need at the time. I have had so many people comment on my skin/make up since using this - no one ever passed comment on my make up when I used the colour stay. I find it a semi matte foundation which for my 40 year old skin it seems to suit better than the colour stay now.

This foundation is my new holy grail! Been struggling to find a good one for so long and I have been through nearly all of the foundation options at my local retail store. So good to finally find one that matches my skin colour, (the last brand I tried made me look grey??) And it covers all the imperfections on my skin without even needing concealer! The biggest plus is it's staying power, which is something I have been trying to achieve for so long by using different combinations of primers, foundations, and powders, better skin seems to work with any primer I use, which is pretty amazing. My boss even noticed how good my makeup was looking and bought some better skin foundation for herself

I am in love - I have found my go to foundation now! I love the SuperStay Better Skin Foundation - I love how easy it is to apply, the overall look it has is great (it covers pores, doesn't leave a sticky residue, stays on all day, gives smooth skin look, plus it makes your skin feel amazing even after you take it off) Its really important that I have a foundation that can withstand Auckland's weather, my skin tone and stays on my skin without rubbing off or slowly coming off in areas as my job requires me to interact with a lot of customers - I love that I didn't have to reapply during the day and it stays on my skin looking flawless from morning to night. It even gets an extra tick of approval for me as I wore it to a training session I had and even though I sweated it stilled managed to stay on my face. A+ - Would definitely recommend this to anyone and have already encouraged my flatties to make the switch. In love <3

I purchased this online in the shade 005 light beige, which is a perfect match for my fair skin. The formula of this foundation is fairly thick and is quite full coverage. It blends easily with my real techniques miracle sponge and lasts fairly well when set with powder.

The packaging of the product is great, it has a pump which I like my foundations to have and 1.5 pumps is enough for my whole face. The blue colour also looks good in my makeup collection.

Normally I have a huge problem with “drugstore” brand foundations, as I’m very pale, porcelain actually and find that the lightest shade normally results in me looking a little tangoed (orange faced). However, BRAVO!!! Maybelline the ivory shade in your new Superstay Better Skin Foundation has not left me in such a state, in fact it’s a perfect ivory shade, it’s left me skin looking very natural and blended into my neckline seamlessly.

Application was superb, the glass material of the bottle wasn’t slippery due to the labelling, which meant I had no trouble in holding it as I applied the foundation. The pump action was flawless, distributing just the right amount to cover my face in 2 pumps. The size of the product is on par with others on the market for similar price range.

Formula wise, the liquid foundation is thick enough so that when you apply to the back of your hand (if you’re using a brush or sponge) or directly onto your face, it doesn’t run away quicker than you can blend it in, but not thick enough that it doesn’t blend evenly. I found that with trialling it in 3 different applications (brush, sponge and fingertips) that it work perfect each time, personally I favoured the sponge as I have dry skin and a slightly damp sponge always ensures that I can achieve a flawless complexion while keeping the dryness at bay.

I have trialled this using it alone directly onto a freshly cleaned, toned and moisturised face and with a primer, finding that in both instants I ended up with very similar outcomes, so for the benefit of testing the claims of better skin I used for the remainder of the week without primer. I do suffer from the odd break outs, even though I am generally dry skin, I do get slick spots around the T-Zone. The best thing I found with this foundation is that it felt as if I didn’t actually have it on, I never suffered any flair up and it kept my oily zone matte throughout the day.

The only downside I experienced was transfer, it didn’t smudge but it did transfer a little onto my coat in the morning, and I lost a bit of coverage around the nose area after blowing it, the white tissue test proves all. But I think with the addition of a setting powder or spray, which I normally wear but didn’t to test this product, I think that it would stay on all day without transfer.

I note that this is claiming to give perfect skin in just 3 weeks, however I started with pretty damn near perfect skin thanks to my skincare regime so I really can not comment on this claim =)
