Maybelline Superstay Makeup Foundation

I've read some mixed reviews of the Maybelline Superstay Makeup foundation. Some users have reported that it doesn't stay on for more than 4 hours and that it becomes flaky when used on dry skin. Others have reported breakouts after a week of using it daily. Then there are those who just love the Superstay Makeup and would recommend it as a daily foundation since it only costs around $12.








Verdict: Not the best, but still a great foundation.

PROS:

• remains silky even when you start to sweat
• doesn't transfer to fabric or skin
• lots of shades available

CONS:

• not best used by people with dry skin
• doesn't stay on for 24 hours as advertised
• no spf

1. Porcelain Ivory
2. Sand Beige
3. Classic Ivory
4. Natural Beige
5. Nude
6. Classic Beige

Maybelline New York Cosmetics History

Maybelline has been in the business of making women beautiful since 1915. The company was founded by T.L. Williams, a chemist. He named the company after his older sister, Mabel, who thought that the mascara her brother invented could help in love affairs and save hundreds of women's lives. Maybelline New York was the first ever company to release an eye cosmetic, called the cake mascara, for commercial use.

The funny thing is that the Maybelline Cake Mascara was only sold through mail and advertised in magazines - much the same as online stores nowadats. It became so popular amongst women that in 1920, that Maybelline company decided to start selling them in stores. The first Maybelline Makeup sold in drug stores was the eyeshadow. In 1923, variety or general merchandise stores started selling the Cake Mascara and the rest they say is history. Since then, Maybelline Cosmetics has grown into a multi-million dollar company offering a wide range of makeup for lips, eyes and face.

Maybelline Makeup is now sold all over the world in almost every retail store you can think of, drug stores, department stores, supermarkets and novelty item shops.
