Ok so the first product I'll be reviewing is the Maybelline
SuperStay Foundation.
On the bottle, the product claims the following:
• Withstand heat, sweat, and humidity.
•No-transfer (won’t rub off)
•Flexible, breathable comfort.
•Oil free- Non pore clogging
•Suitable for all skin types.
Pros of this product to me:
This foundation has an excellent coverage, I’d say
at least medium coverage, but u can definitely build it up to a full coverage
though that may look a bit cakey. I think the bottle is really cute, it’s a
little glass bottle with a plastic cap.
Cons of this Product to me:
There isn’t a pump. I know how important a pump is
to most people, and the bottle is “pump-less” L As I mentioned in the Pros section
above, the bottle is made of glass so you need to be careful with it, don’t
drop it or it may shatter... I’m actually not sure if it will shatter or not
because I haven’t dropped my bottle yet, but just in case, be careful. The
foundation feels a bit heavy because it’s so thick, so if you have oily skin,
you’ll have to blot. This product doesn’t come in a lot of shades.. I’ve only
ever seen like 9 different shades but I know there are more.
Overall Review:
I personally really like this foundation. It’s a
drugstore foundation and you can find it at almost any drugstore. For a
drugstore foundation, it is a bit
pricey... but it’s worth paying like... $2 more. The product is extremely
thick, so it takes awhile to finish the bottle. The bottle contains 30ml of the
foundation. It’s not runny, so it takes awhile to poor out of the bottle and it
can be messy at times. It does withstand heat and sweat, but it might feel
uncomfortable if it’s humid and you’re sweating because it’s soo thick it might transfer, but it
won’t completely rub off.
I find that when I’m wearing this foundation, I
have to blot every hour or so just because my skin can be oily at times. If you’re
like dripping sweat and extremely oily, it MIGHT rub off... but if you set your
foundation that shouldn’t be a problem.
It isn’t matte, your skin might look a bit oily or
shiny, but it definitely will not look matte. The product claims to be oil-free,
but that doesn’t mean it won’t clog your pores. Because it’s so thick, I found
that If I apply it to my forehead and chin (where I break out) I might break
out.. so keep that in my mind. After a few days of using this foundation, I
developed a light but somewhat noticeable rash on my cheeks... but using the
foundation, I was able to cover it up. After a few days of not wearing any
makeup at all, the rash went away and I started to use the foundation again
without having to worry about getting anymore rashes.
When I used this product, I didn’t have to wear any
concealer for my dark circles, this foundation can definitely double as a
concealer- which I love <3
How I apply this foundation:
I use a moisturizer and then a mattifyer before
applying the foundation, then I’ll place a small “pea-sized” amount of
foundation on the back of my hand and I’ll use a stifling brush to apply it...
for areas where I need more coverage (like my dark circles) I’ll just dip my
finger into the lid (because there always seems to be a little foundation stuck
to the top of the lid) and I pat and blend it onto my skin using my finger.
Then I’ll use powder to set my foundation.
I personally would recommend this to anyone who
might need full coverage, it’s perfect for special occasions :) I hope you
found this helpful. And remember, we’re all different, you may or not like this
foundation.
