Maybelline New York

Superstay 24Hr Powder Face Powder (040 fawn)

Australia in summer will put any powder to the test, and I'm happy to say Maybelline New York Superstay 24 Hour Waterproof Powder passes with flying colours. I have fairly sensitive skin with some dry patches, so find that this powder is best applied after I have exfoliated and moisturised. Blending is no issue - the light shade works well for my complexion, and the  powder is still light enough to apply evenly. It leaves a nice matte finish, definitely no sign of shine. I don't find that it cakes, even at the end of the day. I do find I need to be extra vigilant when I'm cleansing after using it; it really is waterproof and super stay! 

I am a huge fan of maybelline powders and have used them for as long as I can remember. However I have incredibly oily skin and problems with acne, this powder by itself (no other makeup on) is able to give coverage to the slight redness from my acne and also get rid of unwanted shininess on my face for hours! I also went paddle boarding and found my face mostly intact afterwards. Over foundation and other products this powder was also able to set and mattify my face, however if you’re looking for an all-over face powder that leaves dewiness or shine this is not for you! This is a personal favourite and must use!

This comes in a sleek circular white compact with a mirror, sponge and compressed powder. The powder is slightly oilier textured than most powders which are dry. This helps it smooth out easier and makes it so simple to blend. Applying this is so quick and easy and the coverage is quite high and very even. This lasted basically all day which is pretty unheard of on my oily skin. I did not need to touch up or reapply all day. This powder is incredible and really does stay put. Quite light weight on skin. Works great as a finishing powder over liquid foundations as well. 

I have used this for absolutely years, well over 10years! I absolutely loved it, but it has changed, and Im now struggling to find an alternative. The texture isnt as good, it looks like it sits on the skin rather than blending in and the colour is so pale! I even went up a couple of shades and still look like a porcelain doll! Its not good anymore and im left make-up less while I hunt for an alternative.

Agree with other posters, this product has been changed and is much inferior to original. Just bought new version in same nude shade I have had for years and it is much paler and no longer gives foundation coverage. It is basically just like a regular powder now. So disappointed as used to love this product.

This powder used to be amazing, I have bought it in Nude for years but for some reason it's changed. The coverage is very disappointing, the colour is lighter and the powder itself now doesn't go on the brush easily. Very disappointed with this now.

Been using this for 6 years no problem. Just recently the ivory has turned orange. Ive compared swatches with older ones I have and its visibly darker. I look like an oompa looma now even with ivory. Is this colour change temporary or permanent??

The Maybelline NewYork superstay 24hr powder is both lightweight and silky, a combination that works quite well. I like to use the shade use in  "Nude" .  I like how it  evens out my skin tone when applying without looking too powdery and neverhighlights my pores, dry spots, or wrinkles after hours of wear.  The Maybelline NewYork superstay 24hr powder comes in a plastic makeup compact and the powder itself is smooth making it easy to use with a your makeup tool.It's super compact making it a great fit for my bag too. It's light, absorbent and has ultimate staying power that doesn't feel too uncomfortable on my dry skin.PRO"S     Affordable                                                                                CON"S Has staying power                                                               IngredientsApplies on well                                                                     24 hr lasts power?                                                Compact                                                                                 High quality
