Maybelline Superstay 30H Concealer

Finally received this after chasing up a few times. The colour was a perfect match for my skin tone. It was in a neat plastic tube The product was very watery unlike other concealers I have tried. I applied to blemishes that I had on my face and neck but found it soaked into my skin too quickly and had to reapply so I was disappointed that it didn't last the 30 hours as stated. Didn't like the applicator it was very thin and looked of cheap quality. Disappointed with this product and would not recommend or purchase it.

I was excited for this concealer as I have under eye dark circles and red broken capillaries on one of my cheeks and the claim was that it would wipe out dark circles and imperfections ... exciting if it works!

I liked the applicator as it was flexible, gentle on my skin and not messy when taking in and out of the bottle. I really like the bottle too. It was easy to hold, stood nicely in my cosmetics draw and I loved how easy the lid was to undo and do back up - it felt very secure. My favourite part was the transparent front so you could see the colour of the concealer ... that was a nice touch.

There was no scent which was a positive but sadly that is where my enjoyment ended. I found the concealer very thin and watery and it stuck to any dry patch on my face that it could fine and looked terrible... especially around my nose. It definitely did not cover my dark circles but did find its way to sit in the fine lines under my eyes which made my under eyes look worse than they normally do. I tried to build it up a little to see if that would help cover the dark circles but it just became cakey and I could still see the dark circles shining through. I also used it on my cheeks to cover broken capillaries which it did cover quite nicely for the whole day however whilst doing that it made me look like I had massive pores which I had not seen before.

For me this concealer was not a winner and I think Maybelline have other concealers more suited to my skin and needs.

I don't wear a full face of makeup often, but when I do, I want a really good concealer that lasts to cover the hormonal spots I get despite being in my 30s. First off, the wand on this concealer I was confused by. The applicator tip looked strange, but upon application it proved to be really good. It was very good at precision and getting close especially the under eye area. I happened to have a few different stages of hormonal spots from New to almost healed, some red. And also red patches. So those were the areas I wanted to target with this concealer. After applying to where I wanted the concealer, letting it set then applying foundation over top, I was pleasantly surprised. It definitely covers spots and redness well. You can still see the texture of them, but they are most definitely less noticeable. It covered redness well, and undereye darkness. However it did sit cakey, and in my newly noticed fine lines under my eyes. So this definitely isn't for under eyes on aging skin. Over all, it does work to conceal, and I did wear it for a day and it didn't move. So I'm impressed by that. Would I use it again? Yes on my spots and redness, I would just avoid my undereyes. Would I buy it again? Probably not. It's just not the right concealer for my aging skin.

I was super excited to try this concealer, but I found it wasn’t the best for my dry skin. Went quite patchy in places and more highlighted every imperfection than concealing it. It was a little bit better when my skin wasn’t as dry, but I’d prefer a product I could use regardless of how my skin was each day so not for me.

The unique shaped brush allows you to control how much to put on. Depending on the purpose of the concealer, I'd imagine this small bottle will last a long time.

It's smooth to put on but depending on the state of your skin, it can show up dry patches. I'm usually light or light/medium shade so it showed up quite a bit, however I could cover it with a powder to match my skin tone.

I can't say it'd stay on for 30 hours, especially with mask wearing.

This matte finish concealer is a good full coverage concealer. Although it is full cover and long-lasting, it does sink into the skin nicely (see my tips below for a skin-like finish). The colour was a perfect match for me and my skin base I use. I used this concealer on the days where I was at work (and looking tired!) and it lasted nicely with a good finish. It has a nice texture and when used sparingly it builds up well without caking or settling into lined.

I have been impressed with this product. I really like the sporty looking packaging and the applicator with the flexible head. The colour I got was a great match for my skin, and I got good coverage on blemishes on my chin/cheeks etc, but found this wasn’t so great for under my eyes as the colour was too light and wasn’t quite right. It does stay on longer than other concealers I’ve used, but due to my oily skin it doesn’t stay for 30 hours. The product has a nice texture - not too thick or runny, and a pleasant smell.

I have really enjoyed trialing the maybelline concealer. After watching a lot of videos on how to apply, I used it on top of a base layer of foundation and dabbed it with my brush rather than used a sweeping motion. Also finished with a little more foundation. The areas I applied it were definitely brighter and my under eye area looked fresh which was great. I will definitely continue using this as part of my daily makeup routine.
