Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

I have high foundation expectations. My expectations for a long wearing full coverage foundation are even higher. I had a super positive experience with the Maybelline fit me matte and poreless so I had VERY high expectations for this foundation.

For starters thank god Maybelline has answered our prayers and given us a pump!! the only hassle with fit me is the lack of pump, so I am loving the fact that this foundation has a pump. The bottle is glass, feels good, looks good. Packaging is a tick.

The colour. I am very fair and drugstore brands usually do not go super fair. I was prepared to be wearing an orange foundation even though I got the lightest shade but Maybelline has managed to nail it again with this colour range for pale skin! (can not comment on dark colours as not sure how they match.)

This foundation claims to be full coverage and long wearing. Would I say this is the fullest coverage I have ever used, no but it is definitely a medium - full coverage buildable. I like the coverage for this, I can cover any redness or blemishes that may be happening and I don't feel like I need to add any extra coverage on top.

The formula I found was quite matte. I have combination skin so this was working well for the majority of my face although there were a few dry patches that it clung to slightly but not noticeable enough to bother me. This foundation definitely stayed matte for most of the day and was not sticky at all.

Wear time, it definitely lasted on me. It claims 24 hours but I didn't wear it for 24 hours because who wants to do that, but I wore it for a solid 14 hours and after a bit of powdering I would still have been happy to go out again with the foundation looking fine.

Overall I think this foundation is really good. It lasts a long time. It has a really good coverage. It has a good pump and packaging and its easy to get. I don't think there is anything I would change about this foundation, Maybelline has stepped up their foundation game in the last year or so and I am not disappointed in this foundation at all.

I really liked this foundation. I usually wear a BB cream or just concealor so wearing foundation everyday was a bit daunting. I loved the light weight feel of this but it provides more coverage than my BB cream and concealor - which I love! It doesn't crease which is a major bonus. Easy to apply, I used a sponge and brush, and awesome to layer up for fuller coverage.

I didnt expect much from this foundation but OMG it delivered!!

Firstly - my skin is normal-dry depending on the day - so usually anything marketed as full coverage or 24 hour wear does NOT work for me and leaves me dry and patchy!

The coverage on this foundation is great - I use 1-1.5 pumps for full face, pretty full coverage. I personally dont like building it up too much more as it tends to look a bit heavy and cakey, not that you really need to build it up anyway.

Only downside is the shades are a bit whack - there arent very many shades, and they are oddly named (for example I am 010 Ivory, wheras in other foundations I am usualy a light-medium!) so if you cant get to any testers definitely look up some swatches online or on YT.

This foundation is such a good price I really recommend anyone who is interested to try it. I have almost finished my first bottle and will be buying a 2nd.

I found this foundation to be surprisingly thick. It went a long way.. the first time I used it it I put way too much on. So next time I started with just a little and I didn't need alot . It does blend easy but I found it a little heavy on my face . The overall coverage was great. It definately covered all my redness and small veins. It dried quickly . It did look a little flaky in some areas .. wouldn't recommend on dry skin. The scent was ok - barely any scent at all. The first time I applied it and put way too much on, I struggled to removed it. I had to wash my face three times and scrub ad well just to remove it and i still felt like there was product on my face. In saying that it does last a long time and is semi waterproof. The packaging was great and appealing . I would probably buy this again but in a slightly different colour.

I love the no foundation, natural look, but unfortunately I need a bit of help from the beauty counters to cover up pigmentation and the odd blemish. I generally use a cover stick and then a sheer foundation to create a natural look. This foundation promises full coverage, so I was wondering if it was going to create that 80's heavy foundation look. I was impressed with the lovely natural looking coverage and silky feel of this foundation. The colour I received was soft beige - a very good match for my skin tone. It is lightly scented and I didn't have any breakouts or skin sensitivity issues using this. I like the packaging and I love the pump - no bacteria getting transferred into unused product. From a price point this offers very good value for money. I will be using this again and will be happy to recommend to others.

This foundation provides great coverage for one on the cheaper side. Unfortunately I chose a shade too light so looked a little washed out, but continued with trying out the product to see if it lived up to what it said it’d do.

Went on easily and provided great coverage without feeling too heavy. I did break out a little on my chin the first few days but that went away. I applied a light layer for work each day for a week and it stayed put all day. My nose got a little oily by the end of the day. Then on the weekend I went to a party and applied more than usual. It built up nicely and gave a really good finish, which again lasted all night through dancing and warm temps.

I tried to select my colour very carefully for the trial hoping to get as close to the colour I’m Currently using (and sadly running out of) but I was severely unsuccessful. When I opened the package I thought “oh dear that’s awfully dark..oh well..let’s give it a crack” On the pro side, a little went a LONG way. A half pump resulting in a 5mm drop would have done my entire face in a shade of brown I can only describe as umpa-lumpa burnt orange. A nice light consistency if that what youre looking for. However if you want coverage this is not the product for you. It gives a very transparent layer that I’d have to say gave my skin a peachy smooth feel. As for the superstay aspect..the product quite stubbornly stained my fingers orange so I’m confident it will stay put for quite some time.

I picked up my bottle of this foundation from the warehouse . I got it roughly for about $35 . For a drugstore brand I think it could be priced at a cheaper rate .

Packaging they’ve kept the square shaped bottle only difference is that they’ve added a pump on it. The shade I purchased was Golden. Golden is a perfect shade for my skin tone. It seems to be quite runny in consistency . Builds up nicely .

After an hour or so I notice that it seems to fade out. Next day I tried a primer and setting spray to try and hold it in place still faded out . My skin type is normal .

Overall I was hoping for a good result but unfortunately this didn’t meet my expectations. I think it should be marked at a $10-15 bracket rather than thirty dollar price tag. It’s definitely a nah bro , won’t buy again product. Test before you buy.

Firstly, unfortunately as yet, I’ve only tried this for a few days, as the wet weather delayed the courier. But, from what I have experienced so far, I am impressed. I have been applying this foundation after applying moisturiser and primer, and allowing both prior products time to absorb.

The pump bottle is great! Only a small amount comes out and I found this to be the perfect amount to cover my face when I used my fingers to spread. It is best to act quickly to get the best coverage or if you dab it onto areas that may normally need a bit more coverage first, then blend the rest of your face, it seems to give a fantastic even coverage with a matte finish. The lasting power is also pretty good. No oily forehead during the day, even the sneeze test left limited foundation on my tissue! I did find selecting the right colour a bit tricky, and may have gotten one a touch pale, however, I have now got new motivation to use my highlighter pallets - yah!

I got into this foundation for a while, it was reasonably longwearing and affordable. The shade was a good match for my skin and the feel and formula of the foundation were reasonable.

The one thing that put me off it over some other foundations is that it had a scent that I wasn't particularly fussed on, but one if was applied I stopped noticing it. I also noticed that it oxidized a bit after a few hours on.

Having tried more high end foundations, this one is not leagues behind for half the price so it's definitely worth taking into consideration.
