Maybelline SuperStay 24hr Concealer Review

***NOTE****
I did a follow-up review of this concealer a few months later as I just couldn't come to terms with the fact that I seemed to be the only person that hated it, make sure to read it!

I read a lot of rave reviews about SuperStay that compared it to MAC and other high end concealers, so I decided to give it a try.

To be honest, I was disappointed with the selection of colors. Like most drugstore brands, SuperStay just didn't have the variety of colors that they should. The shades are Ivory, Cream, Light, Medium Beige and Deep Beige. The closest I could find was Medium Beige, though it looked a bit light in the bottle, but Deep Beige was too dark.

Right off the bat, the color looks way too light, even though my face is lighter than my hand [as is the case with most people,] it was the wrong color.

There is no other way to describe this than to say it was a disaster. The color is too pink, especially for my skin which has yellow tones [actually "yellow tones" is an understatement, sometimes I think my actual skin color is yellow.]

This concealer is similar to MAC's Longwear in that it dries very quickly and it stays dry and powdery. It's best to apply it before your face cream dries in order to make it easier to blend.

I think SuperStay could be good for people who have more pink in their skin because with the exception of the Cream color, all the shades have pink undertones.

In its favor, I will say that SuperStay has amazing coverage. I think if it had been my right color, it could have rivaled my MAC concealer.

If you're light skinned and in need of a heavier concealer, I say give this a try.
