Advantages: Silky feel up to 16 hrs Disadvantages: pit messy..
...always been huge fan of Maybelline products and not just because they are simply best values for your moneys but they also are the best products for my type of skin. And I have always been in hook after seeing commercials in telly. I bought my first Maybelline products just before taking part of Maybelline model competition. Yes, I did take part of, and sadly some side 0 teenage got cover page. And that's not fare! But I got absolutely stunning pictures ... ...nearly 15 years ago and Maybelline is still my no 1 cosmetic products.
Maybelline:
Maybelline is one of top make-up manufactures. Company start launching its first mascara at 1913. Well those days it was not like mascara now...ouh no. I was Vaseline jelly mixed with coal dust. Since coal dust "mascara" lot has happened in Maybelline. Maybe bigger chance was 1996 when L'Oreal bought Maybelline and same year Maybelline head office moved to cosmetic ...

Advantages: Smooth application and a very good even finish Disadvantages: Colour is a little off, do-it-yourself at home.
...I decided to write about Maybelline Superstay Silky Foundation because it is one that has very mixed feelings from me and I am interested in seeing what others have thought and if they agree with my opinion. So here is my belated review.
** WHO ARE MAYBELLINE**
In 1915, T.L. Williams came up with a way for his sister, Maybel (spelt slightly odd I know), to darken her lashes, this was the very beginning of the Maybelline brand. Now the American ... ...that is just me!
The Maybelline brand creates new and adventurous make-up and they are mainly famous for their colour expertise and being able to match the perfect make-up to any skin tone.
**WHAT IS MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY SILKY FOUNDATION**
Well, the long name sort of says it all. The company claim that the long-wearing foundation delivers 16 hours of flawless coverage, has a super silky feel and blends in one step. The make-up itself is foundation, ...

Advantages: Great coverage and stays on throughout the day Disadvantages: Price may be little high for some
...for 2 being on the Maybelline products. I have already reviewed the lip colour that I bought and now I will review the second item from my purchases which was the foundation. The foundation I bought was the 'Super stay silky 16 hour'. The bottle states it is a pretty new product and I had seen it on various sites being reviewed before I actually went to Boots and bought it so recognised it on the shelf straight away and this is what promted me to ... ...the same shade in the Maybelline mousse range which was the last foundation I bought. There are quite a few varieties available to choose from so I'm sure that there would be a shade to suite most people. I am not a very pale skinned person and this shade was suitable enough to give me coverage without it being too dark and giving me the 'tangoed' look! Price:
The full price of this product is £9.78 - I really would normally hate spending so much ...

Advantages: fresh feel, blends well Disadvantages: smell, tricky pump
After using dream matte mousse for quite a long time a decided to have a change and use a more expensive foundation. This is when I saw super stay silky, a new foundation from maybelline.
*Colours*
There is quite a range of colours in this foundation but the colour swatches are misleading so it is best to try it out in the store. I bought 'fawn' which when I got home found it was a little too dark for my skin tone. So if you have used dream matte ... ...as in the super stay silky it is a little darker. So i strongly reccomend testing in store.
*Packaging*
Super Stay Silky comes in a plastic bottle which is double barreled. One side the coloured shad and the other side 'silky feel extender'. The pump is quite tricky to use as you have to press each side to get both the foundation and extender out and they do not come out in equal amounts. The look of the packaging is fairly attractive and the lid ...

Advantages: silky feel extender is nice primer, easily blended Disadvantages: colour is to dark, doesn't stay as well as some, packaging awkward
...:/
Previously i thought maybelline was okay for none orangeness, (well im referring to the mousse foundation which was a lot better colour wise than this) but it was so mega orange!
I tried it on and i thought it was the light but i checked in a mirror outside and i was far too orange!
This was ivory and it was really really dark.
So colourwise if your pale its a no go, even if you dont use very much! a thin layer may start out okay, but it darkens ... ..."everfresh" make up, its the same kinda colour as that maybe darker.
Okay so application, iv tried with a brush and fingers, fingers possibly better, as you could blend easier. One other good thing is due to th silky stay extender it does not dry out, so you dont really need to do it mega fast, it takes a while to dry.
Staying power? the main purpose of this product....well it stayed for around hmm 4-5 hours but it started to show oily patches ...

Advantages: On spotless skin, can make your pores appear less visible, stays on quite a long time, Disadvantages: worst foundation colour matching i've ever seen, very drying, patchy coverage, pump is very messy
I bought this because I wanted to try a new foundation - i tried it on my hand in the shop and it looked ok, so I bought it. The packaging is a bit plasticy and cheap looking, so I was surprised at the expensive price, but I thought that it must be worth it. However, when I got outside, I realised that the colour was COMPLETELY wrong. I have pale skin, and it was very very pink in natural light, which makes you look even paler than before, and fake ... ...cover this up with bronzer when I got home.
So, I got home, and applied it. Firstly, absolutely loads came out, as you have double the amount of foundation you want because of the primer. Then, when I applied it to my face, it looked orange! I had bought the lightest shade (ivory) and I couldnt believe how dark it was. It was not easy to apply as it didn't exactly "glide" on, and it was difficult to blend in. You pretty much had to stick it on your ...

Advantages: A primer/silky feel extender with the product. Disadvantages: Dries very quickly, cost, dries darker than expected, leaves dry skin looking worse.
...foundation and the other which Maybelline describe as a Silky feel extender. I found this quite awkward at first as it has a pump dispenser and if you press the dispenser in a certain way only one side of the product comes out, it takes a few tries to figure out how to do this so both sides of the product dispense properly, also i found the product came out to quickly and it dried around the opening.
Once i had figured out how to dispense the product ... ...suffer from dry patches on my face so i often apply a primer before my usual foundation, but with this i didnt think it was necessary as it had the primer/silky feel extender within the same bottle, which seems like a great idea. I applied the foundation with my foundation brush using only a small amount at first, it blended well although it did dry very quickly, if you become distracted while applying this foundation it could become very streaky. ...

Advantages: good coverage, reasonable price, stays on! Disadvantages: It difficult to tell when it's about to finish - suddendly there is none left!
Maybelline is one of my favourite makeup brands because I think it is really reliable, this foundation is no exception. I love the way the lotion and foundation mix together which really does leave it feeling silky. It also has really good coverage which is a must for my skin! But it can also be used lightly. I would recommend using a brush to mix the white and the colour on your hand and blend onto your face using your finger tips (if you go straight ... ...up with far to much!) I have found it stays on better than other foundations I have tried. But be careful it is difficult to tell when the product is about to finish... suddenly one morning there is none left!!! My only other gripe is that it can sometimes get clogged, (a safety pin usually fixes this though!!) A really excellent product. ...

I never used to use maybelline products until them catchy adverisments appeared on television 'maybe it's maybelline', i'm glad i tried the brand through as its quality willed me to experiment with this interesting looking product. It is a two in one foundation and silky moisturiser. This acts obviously as a moisturiser but also you can blend as much in as required to help achieve the perfect tone to suit your skin colour. This foundation serves ...

Advantages: Lasts all day. Covers blemishes. Disadvantages: Slightly Orange, but this can be fixed using matt powder.
I use foundation on daily basis to cover problem skin. When I bought this I fell in love. It covers all blemishes with no problem at all! I was amazed by the staying power of this foundation as it did not wear off during the day and I did not need To re-apply. For £10, it was an average price but a fantastic value for money product. The only downside is that it is slightly orange, but this can be solved by using a matt powder on top, which also helps ... ...the previous review and they have obviously not used the product properly, as you put the button in the middle to get both products out. When combined, the product is not as orange as the base foundation alone. I really love this product and have reccomended it to several people. It provides a long lasting finish and lasts all day, whilst covering even the worst blemishes.
I would definitely buy this againa as it really works and ticks all the boxes. ...

Quick review of Maybelline Superstay Silky Foundation
Such amazing foundation! I never wear foundation, but it was a special night, and I was at my friends curling my hair, and like a stupid fool, burnt the side of my face and obviously left a mark. And my friend was like here, use this and MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY SILKY FOUNDATION just BLEW ME AWAAAY. So amazing. Covered it so flawlessly. So I had to cover my face in it cause it was just so flawlessly perfect for my skin!
Loved it so much that I "borrowed" it from her :] ...

I think this product is absolutely fab it amazed me!!!!! I found that the containier is very convinient as it is compact and the double pump is very eay to use however after a while this can get quite messy so you are better off keeping the plastic lid so it doesnt go all over your make up bag. When you put the foundatio on i found it very easy to blend in and left my skin with a good base and it is great for a cover up too my skin looked spot fee ...

Advantages: Silky smooth cover! Disadvantages: Can get a bit messy with the double pump!
This product left me so dissapointed!
i brought it because, quite frankly, i was brought by the marketing! The idea of the base and the foundation being combined on pump sounded great, but alas...things dont go to plan!
for a start its £7.99, so for a high street brand, i think thats on the upper end of the scale and so i was expecting great things!
The colour for starts completely didnt match my skin tone, i brought the lightest shade and was ... ...goes on really well, it has got a very silky feel, and lasts forever! But, i felt, you cannot just have a light coverage, because it pumps out both the base and the foundation together, you end up with double the amount you want and you cant just get a little bit out, and its SO thick, so definitly not day to day wear for someone who just wants a quick fix!
Having said all this, i am still determined to make this product work, i may just use it ...
