Beauty Thursday: Maybelline Super Stay Foundation Review



Hello Everyone! Welcome to Beauty Thursday. Today I am going to be doing a review of one of my favourite drugstore foundations.

Foundation: Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Foundation

Packaging: It comes in an open top glass bottle with a screw on cap. It does not come with a pump in North America. 

Shade: Classic Ivory. This is not the lightest shade; it is currently a little bit dark for me but if I blend it down my neck you can't tell.

Coverage: Medium - Full. You can sheer out this foundation by mixing it with moisturizer, or you can wear it full coverage. 

Finish: Matte.

Claims: Withstands heat, sweat and humidity.
 No transfer- won't rub off. 
Flexible, breathable coverage. 
Oil-Free. 
Suitable for all skin types. 

Does it measure up? Withstands heat, sweat and humidity. True, it does last a long time and there is no need for touch ups.  No transfer- won't rub off. Unfortunately this isn't true. You definitely don't want to hug a friend with a white shirt while wearing this foundation, as it has a tendency to transfer quite easily. Flexible, breathable coverage. It doesn't feel like a full coverage foundation. It blends easily into the skin and doesn't sit on top of it and make it feel mask-like. Oil-Free. Yes. Suitable for all skin types. My skin has actually gone from oily to very dry and with both skin types I was able to wear this foundation. I just have to make sure to now moisturize and exfoliate properly. It has a matte finish so it is great for oily skin. 

Downsides:
The only one I can really think of is that it transfers quite easily, however if you set it with a setting spray it does help. Other than that I can't really think of anything else except maybe that it doesn't have a pump, but neither does Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.

This is what the top looks like.

I think this is a great product if you are looking for a matte medium-full coverage drugstore foundation. Matte foundations are hard to find at the drugstore but this one is a great option. 

 I hope you enjoyed this post!

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
