Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

This product was incredible. I got the True Ivory colour which, unlike most foundations, was true to it's label. I think I will save this foundation for the winter season when my skin returns to it's pale state. I have many freckles and this foundation covered every single last one and also covered any redness in my skin! It was easily applied and set easily, it was not at all sticky. Better yet, my bronzer slid over the foundation easily and blended in very well. The only downfall is that my breakthrough shine on my nose still won against this foundation, reducing its "Superstay" effect.

This has got to be my new go to foundation. Stays on all day with. Perfect coverage and good match to my skin. I put it on before work and still going strong when I get home. Usually with my other foundation I could touch my face and it comes off in my hand. This foundation doesn't do this. Definitely recommend this foundation.

I'm not huge on foundations, I'm a total tinted moisturiser addict normally. But I was given the chance to try this product out and it was a revelation! I went back and forth on colours a bit (the joys of skin colour changes from winter to summer), but the one I ended up choosing was a perfect match. I first tried it out by applying with my fingers, I had to work quite quickly but did get good coverage and it was lovely, smooth and matte (as promised). The next day I had used a different moisturiser to start the day and the foundation spread much easier, it lasted fantastically during the day until I washed my face. As a third application I used a sponge (rare for me) but I found that the foundation was easiest to apply and gave the best finish. The product gave good coverage, blending and covered up any imperfections. I really liked the matte finish, especially as I have a tendency towards shiny, sweatiness recently in the heat and humidity - I was impressed that the foundation stood up to it! Overall I really like this product and will purchase it again.

This foundation has been my go-to foundation. I like the full coverage and the longevity of it. I can go for 12 hours without touch-ups. it leaves my skin looking healthy. I apply it using a buffing brush and it works well for me and I always set it with loose powder. I recommended it to my sister and she fell in love with it too. FYI my skin type is a combination I get oily in the T zone. Will be great if it has more shades I have to mix 2 shades to get my shade

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.

- Packaging is beautiful and sleek in a glass jar and with a pump. - Fantastic coverage. I feel like most people can skip concealer altogether because of such high concentration of pigments. - Slightly on the pricey side - Finish is very matte and during winter, you definitely would need a hydrating primer underneath. If you have extremely oily skin you maybe get away without. In any case anyone should moisturizer well before any foundation. It goes on smoothly with my buffing brush.

Overall I think this foundation is awesome. Highly recommend for anyone who wants full coverage.

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

This product has it all. Although not too expensive I wish we had it at a more comparable price to USA. However a drugstore brand i cased in a glass component, has a pump and is uniquely square shaped. The shade I got was for my winter shade to use everyday. I found this to be a bit pink and could've had a warmer undertone, but we made it work. Consistency wise its quite thin and runny. Easy to apply, using a beauty blender I haven't delved into the brush as it's not my choice of tool. I use this almost everyday and it has a build able coverage not quite full but rather light to medium. I use this over top of colour corrector and my primer. It layers well, and doesn't go patchy on my normal to combo skin however my skin during winter has been a bit drier I haven't found that this enhances that flaw. If anything I found that this is a semi matte finish but by the days end becomes quite slick and flush looking. I layer concealer over top and it holds quite well. Then powder over top to set the face. I find that this foundation will give me a good day's wear but by 3:00 there is definitely signs of slipping and alot of oiliness that being said my skin has been quite dry this winter and this didn't make a difference to the performance of the product and I would be left looking quite slickly dewy. The creases and corners by my nose has less coverage because of the product slip, but that's by the days end. However with all this mentioned I continue to use it for the affordable price and the actual coverage. I can easily apply it and it doesn't break the bank.

I really liked this foundation as it has staying power and great coverage that doesn't rub off easily. It makes your skin look flawless. It does however sweat off a bit in the heat throughout the day but probably not as much as other foundations do. I would recommend it to a friend as it is a reasonable price and does last better than other foundations I have used before.
