Hello beauties!
I hope you are well and prepared because summer is getting
closer and closer!
As most of us do, we tend to change our skin routine
because of the weather changes and the temperature rise. We start from our
cleanser, our moisturizer and our foundation.
I will start from the last. The foundation.
Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter we are
searching for a light yet with good coverage, durability, staying power and SPF
protection! You think it’s too much? No.
Most cosmetics brands are aware of our needs and the
conditions change and they adapt. And evolve.
This is what happened with Maybelline.
They created a modern
foundation with many benefits.
Maybelline Superstay 24hr micro-flex stretch formula foundation with
SPF 19
&
Maybelline Superstay 24hr Concealer
Let me start from the foundation.
It has one of the
most velvety consistency I have ever felt in a foundation.
It applies very
easily giving you the time to work it in your skin and once you are done
blending it, within 2-3 minutes it transforms from liquidy to powdery, giving a
really really nice finish.
I have combination/oil
skin and it does give me a matte finish that stays without touch ups for a 3-4
hours.
But I really want to say something here. If you have
combination/oily or even very oily skin, you should know that there is no magic
potion/foundation/powder that will take away the shine for the entire day.
Seriously. The only thing we can do is to always use a good primer, try
different foundations for oily skin in order to see which one sits well on our
skin, powder and take that powder with us in order to touch up when needed.
Just saying, so you know.
Back to the review.
Its coverage is medium but you can build it up, although if
built a lot can look a little cakey and make your pores more visible than before.
It comes in a 30ml glass bottle and has a pump which is a very
good thing for our hygiene.
As declared by its name, it has very good durability and does
not fade away or slide off your face.
It has an SPF 19 which is something really good if you are wearing this as your morning foundation. It's not enough, you have to use a regular sunscreen underneath but an SPF is always a plus! Unless you will be photographed!!
I gambled and ordered it online in the color 021 Nude. It is
not the perfect shade but suits quite well on my NW25 skin but it is a little
pink which I hate. I make sure I mix it with a hint of a lighter yellowy foundation
and blend it all the way down to the neck.
As I was quite happy with the foundation I thought I would
try the concealer as well.
I first tried it on my under eye area. That didn’t work very
well.
Even though I don’t have visible dark circles and don’t need to cover
something, I want to put something there!
But my skin there is rather thin and this product is a teeny
tiny heavy for an undereye concealer, at least for me.
But as I noticed that it has a quite good coverage I tried
it on my blemishes and minor flaws that need extra concealing. It was great. It
covers up anything you have, although you have to put little by little because
it will cake and blend really well around the edges with your brush.
I like it very much. Once it set with a powder, stays on
really well and for at least 6-8 hours.
I am really happy that the last years drugstore brands come
up with such quality cosmetics for a good price. We can try out new things
without making our bank account to bleed!
Well that’s it from me!
