Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation Review

Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation has a created a good formula that doesn't feel too thick when applying.

The foundation smell was pretty neutral but it offered great coverage and it was pretty easy to blend (I only used fingers or sponges).

The packaging is simple but clean. I would prefer a lighter tube/container, but that's just me being picky.

I liked the pump as I could control how much foundation came out each time - so I could easily layer or touch up.

I didn't need to touch up at all during the day for my combination skin. I didn't find the foundation stayed on and needed a bit of rubbing/scrubbing for removal - the only real downside.

All in all, a good "super staying" foundation, thanks Maybelline!

The packaging is sleek and clean looking. It is a sturdy glass bottle with a pump dispenser. I like using pump dispensers as it feels like it it keeps the foundation fresh and hygienic. The pump dispensed a good amount of product. The foundation has a medium consistency. It smoothed on really easily and evenly. It made my freckles and redness around my nose disappear. When you spread the foundation around it turns into a very fine powder finish. It didn't move around my face. which I sometimes get around my nose with some foundations. It touched up very easily, although I found it didn't need much touching up and the foundation does truly stay put. This is a fantastic foundation to give you that classic flawless matte finish.

I went for Nude Beige - it was a touch light but the undertones were spot on, so I'll definitely use this as my tan fades!

The glass bottle is very sleek, the white lid matches the Superstay Lip Ink.

I had no trouble applying this with a blender, brush or my fingers, whatever way I applied it was easy to blend to a smooth, even finish. The finish is matte, but it isn't flat. Even pre-highlight, my skin still looked alive, it isn't a matte finish that sucks the life out of your look.

Sans primer, but on a well moisturised face, this foundation lasted the day at work - and it didn't sweat off after my evening walk. I haven't left it on for 24hours (I love my pillowcase too much to risk it) but 14 hours is the most I'm ever gonna ask of a foundation - my all-nighters are way behind me!

I actually felt after wearing this my usual oily spots (t-zone) were less oily, but my dry cheeks also felt a little more dry. So you'll definitely want to pay attention to moisturising before and after using.

All up, I think the price is great, the product lasts the day, is economical to use, and leaves an even, matte finish. If you're after a matte foundation, what more could you want?!

I confess i’ve never tried a Maybelline foundation before. It’s a go to brand for Mascara for me but foundation? It has never really been in my bucket of brands that I would even think about so I was intrigued to give this baby a go.

It’s marketed as a matte, full coverage foundation. I confess to being a bit nervous as i’m not one for a thick face of slap I generally like a more sheer coverage. But hey, i’m all for trying new things.

The product comes in a glass bottle with a PUMP. You read it right people a PUMP. I love this, foundation that come in bottles without do my head in! So we are already off to a good start.

I chose the colour Nude Beige and it’s perfect for me especially now. Interestingly enough, the texture of the product is surprisingly light, and…I tell you, a little goes a long way. In general one small pump is enough.

I applied it with my foundation brush and it went on like a dream, no patches or streaks and I was relieved to discover although it was full coverage…the final result was still very sheer and natural. I guess you could build it up with a thicker application if that was the look you were after, but for me it worked like a dream.

The only gripe I would have is that the writing on the pack is literally teeny tiny, even with my glasses on i’d be hard pressed to read it. I’m not sure why it has to be so minimal but anyway, i’m not gonna mark it down for that it’s just a passing comment.

I loved it and I will certainly be repurchasing once this runs out although given how little you need to use each time that won’t be any time soon.

Thanks Maybelline! You’ve found a new foundation friend.

(My skin type-combination) This product is beautiful! It blends beautifully and drys down to a smooth soft finish, it's also transfer proof. It smooths over poses and doesn't settle into fine lines. A good selection of shades. For me I would say this is a "Medium" to "Full" Coverage. It is buildable and it sits perfectly on the skin. Definitely a Super Stay foundation. They did a good job with this product.

I was drawn to this at 40% off in a Farmers sale, and thought 'why not?' I have realised why this is not for me. On my skin, it oxidises. I start out looking lovely. Really good coverage, it builds really well, it stays put. Now, normally I wear my foundation as a medium coverage for work, and I hadn't previously noticed any issues with it, maybe because I set my face with a slightly light powder, and this had covered it. However... on this occasion, I'd decided for a full coverage, fully glammed look. This did not go well. Within the hour, it looked 2 shades orange-er on my face, and I felt like a bad Little Britain caricature. It had to come off. Super disappointed. I'll use it up as a sheer coverage, but I've learned my lesson about building it up for a fuller coverage. Maybe I'll throw some lightening drops in it and see what happens, or maybe next time there's a sale on, I'll swatch a lighter shade and wander around with it for a bit longer.

Pretty gosh darn good for a drugstore foundation, blends well and doesnt look super cakey, dries down well with no oxidising and FULL coverage. Works well with most concealers. One of my faves for sure.

This foundation is now one of my go to’s! It has a long lasting full coverage effect and I’m not worried about having to top up my makeup half way through the day! I use shade 03 True Ivory and for me it’s the perfect shade for my fair skin, I found this shade did oxidise on my skin slightly, but not by much. For a drugstore product which is affordable and easily accessible, it’s a hit!
