Superstay 24 Hour Makeup

I have this and it covers very well. Freckles, acne, scars. But I feel like it's cakey and noticeable that you're wearing it. It might be just my skin but who knows! Also, I am very pale and I can't find a color that actually matches my skin tone.

I love this foundation. best drugstore one out there in my opinion. last all day. medium coverage. it's perfect! the only reads on I don't give it 5 stats is because it's not as good of a coverage I'd like (not completely full). and it doesn't stay matte all day-it doesn't claim to do this but it does stay matte for a long time on my skin (:

I have been rotating this foundation in 50 Nude (a strongly yellow, light-medium shade) with several other foundations for months. I have not worn this foundation for a full 24 hours and don't think I ever will, but I can certainly say that it holds up for an incredibly long time, with a staying power that I'm sure could breach the 10-hour mark (which is the longest I've worn it for).

I have combination oily skin, and this foundation is oil-free and leaves my skin with a nice, matte finish and non-transferable, medium- to full-coverage for almost a full 8-hour work shift, though some oil starts to seep through after that. Its oil-control properties are one of the best I've seen in any foundation, and it is probably the most durable foundation I've ever used, as even a Clinique beautician had trouble removing it before performing a color match with one of their own foundations. Surprisingly, for the coverage and staying power this foundation has, it feels incredibly lightweight; I napped in it for 4 hours and woke up forgetting I still had it on. It has a non-sticky finish so it felt like bare skin, so it's very comfortable to wear.

Recently I read from various blogs that this foundation was waterproof, although Maybelline does not seem to claim that it is. I was intrigued and wanted to try it out ever since getting back to cardio swimming, so just for kicks (and with a raised eyebrow from a male friend wondering why my face was done up), I wore this foundation to the pool. 2 hours later, even after wiping my face several times while in the pool (again forgetting that I had it on), I came out of the pool with it still on and fully intact. I used a makeup-removing wipe before taking a shower, and sure enough that wipe was covered in that foundation even after hitting the water so much. Maybelline may not have marketed this as a waterproof foundation, but it wears like one!

At around $9 for 1oz of product I think this is a great foundation whether I'm wearing it to work or to the pool, or even if I'm wearing it for a special occasion. The product wears comfortably, has great coverage with a natural finish, lasts through sweat and soak, and stays on long after the work day's over. This may just be the best foundation from Maybelline (and I've tried their Dream Matte Mousse, Dream Nude Airfoam, Fit Me, and Mineral Power Powder foundations), and is definitely one of the best I've ever tried.

Bought this hoping it did what it says on the tin and last all day and it does :). Its full coverage blends easy and lasts me all day which is good :). Also I think you don't need a lot to get full coverage but that's just my opinion so it lasts me a while. I think ill use this foundation for a long time until I found a better one.

I love this foundation!! It's bendable, oil-free, full coverage, not sticky, lasts long, cheap! I do wish it could be a little bit more creamy or moisturizing because I have dry skin and after some time my face turns very dry, but that's just because of my skin type.

This has got to be my favorite drugstore foundation.

Why I love it: 1. FULL COVERAGE - one layer will do just about anybody, two will do most people with really dark acne scars. 2. LONG LASTING - well, longer than most foundations. Obviously if you're sweating profusely, this is going to start 'melting'. Otherwise, when good weather is present, this will seriously last most of the day. 3. LIGHTWEIGHT FORMULA - the formula is very light and it does not feel like you're packing a lot of makeup on. 4. VERY AFFORDABLE - it can range from $8-$11 (US) depending on your area

Why some will NOT love it: 1. LACKING SHADES - there isn't a big selection when it comes to shade. Most of them look closely alike, and even so people with yellow undertones will find it hard to match. I picked out the nude color and had to use the REVLON mineral finishing powder in suntan matte to get to my shade 2. NOT DESIGNATED FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES - there is only one formula for all skin types, none specifically for oily, or normal/dry. I think people with dry skin will find it not hydrating, but if you use a good moisturizer, you should be good to go.

PROS: * Long lasting! * No touch ups needed. * Matte finish. * Inexpensive and easily accessible at many drugstores! * Oil-free will not cause break outs. * Incredibly coverage! Hides my acne scars very well!

CONS: * I don't have a shade that really matches my skin tone. I wish they had a larger array of colors for those with yellow undertones. * This foundation dries quickly so you have to work fast when applying the foundation.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I ended up not using this product though I like it. I just can't find a shade that matches my skin and finding the right shade is very important.

Any of you gals a MAC NC30, if so what shade do you use?

I usually don't like liquid foundation because it makes me break out but this ones hasn't been too horrible. ( I have large pores so I always have some break outs) -B
