So today's post is going to be a review of the Maybelline 24Hr Super Stay Foundation. On the recommendation of Tanya Burr in one of her videos from last year, I purchased this foundation from Farmers, retailing at $36.49, without GST (15%). In New Zealand, even drugstore makeup is expensive. Thankfully I had a discount, taking it down to $29.99. (Around £15, i think)

It is quite thick, and you do need to buff it in like any full coverage foundation, otherwise it has the potential to go cakey quite quickly.
Last night I was lucky enough to go to the OneRepublic concert in Wellington, and decided it would be a perfect time to fully test the foundation. I have extreme combination skin, with dry patches around my lips and a really oily tzone. This foundation showed shine six hours after I applied it, with no blotting at all which is really impressive. It didn't cling to my dryness at all and overall wasn't heavy or cakey once buffed in.
Now I definitely agree with the twenty four hour staying power this foundation claims to do. I get really tired really quickly when I've been out, so when I got home I simply wiped it off and went to bed. This morning however, when I washed my face there was still quite a lot around my ears, which I missed in my sleepiness.
The only thing I really do not like about the foundation is the pump - or lack thereof. Because it's a 'drugstore' foundation I don't know where I'm going to be able to get a pump that fits. Let me know if you know. The bottle feels like glass, but may well be a sturdy plastic.
I love this foundation because of it's full coverage, long lasting power and because it feels nice. Definitely worth the money.
What are some other products I should try? Any recommendations?
