I have this concealer in Cream. It is a good match for my NC25 skin once blended out.
It is comparable to Maybelline's Mineral Power which is discontinued. I also have Mineral Power in Cream. Superstay is a little more pink toned and does well to correct dark under eye circles. Less is more with this product! If you want fantastic results, dab a dot under your eye, blend away with fingers or with a synthetic brush! It is creamier than Mineral Power. Lasts longer also!


I bought Maybelline Superstay 24 and Maybelline Mineral Power both in the shade IVORY and swatched it on my hand but it is the wrong shade. If either of these concealer is anybody's HG, please inbox me. I will post it to you (Australian residents only, sorry!) IVORY would roughly work on NC15 girlies.
I have only swatched these on my hands! They are opened but have not been used. FOR FREE OF COURSE.

I thought that the claim for "superstay" was pure advertising, but i got really suprised.

I bought this on the colour 03-Light. It was the lightest available on the website i purchased, and decided to give it a go because i was looking for a full coverage concealer with decent staying power for my oily skin and i read some good reviews online.

I was worried about the color, because it seemed too dark and too pink (i have yellow undertone), but actually it works fine, even on top of the foundation. It becomes seemless and it blends really well all together.

It has really great coverage, so i love it for my blemishes and pigmentation spots (from old acne). It's very pigmented and you only need a tiny bit to cover them...

It can be drying for some people, it dries really fast and it doesn't move.. i have oily skin and it works fine to me. It can cling to dry patches on pimples that are healing but i noticed it's not too obvious, at least for me...

You have to apply thin layers until you have the amount of coverage you want without looking cakey... i usually apply two and it's enough for me..

As for staying power...OMG... it's really superstay. At the end of the day my foundation it's not the same, but the concealer it's still there, covering those blemishes, and without fading :O ...until i remove my makeup at night... really amazing...

As for dark circles, i think there are better options because it's a little bit drying for that area... and i would need a lighter colour for that...

So, great coverage and great lasting power... it's all i asked and i got it :D i'll definitely repurchasing it but maybe one shade lighter...

Completely disappointed by this product. I´ve been looking for a good concealer for around the eyes and I trust Maybelline, but it looks incredibly cakey and dry, and the lightest color is way too dark. Might be good for blemishes but the color is all wrong.

This product is good if you want full coverage makeup, because it is so pigmented. The only problem with it is the color range. At least here in Finland there are only two shades available, 2 & 3. Possibly elsewhere there is more shades. Shade 2 is light pink and shade 3 is tanned yellow. This is a problem, because my skin undertone is yellow but quite pale.
So, I would repurchase for a reason that I like the coverage and texture it has, but the shade selection could've been better.

Do not use this under the eyes! It will make them look cakey and it is very drying so it will accentuate fine line and wrinkles.

I'm using this concealer for a while now and I LOVE IT! It covers my pimples very well. Actually I don't really have dark circles under my eyes, but I still use it there. It's kinda heavy. It isn't expensive for a concealer like this. I like the packaging, it comes with a little sponge in it.
I really recommend this product for people with acne, I have acne to and it doesn't break me out. Also, it stay on really long. Why 4 lippies? Because it's hard to take of at night and it dries really fast.

I love this product for concelaling my spots and blemishes. It's thick and has very good coverage.

However because of it's thickness I wouldn't recomment it as an under-eye concealer. It would be far too heavy under the eyes so I use Rimmel Match perfect for eye bags.

I would definately repurchase this and I not I want to try out the Superstay foundation because this concealer is so good.

it feels very dry under the eyes and emphasizes wrinkles. on the other hand, i have oily skin and nothing holds around my nose to cover up the redness there, but this one works. i use it as a face concealer and it performs quite well due to its dry texture and it stays put long time. as a result, i like it a lot for the face, but definitely not under the eyes.

I use this to reduce the redness on my nose and the slight grayish-purple color under my eyes. it dries quickly, which I like. less is more.I like hard candy's glamouflage, but the maybelline actually dries on my nose unlike the glamouflage. it's a great price and it does what it says it does. this does settle into lines...but I don't put it where I have any lines. issue solved for me!

I've been using this concealer for over a year now and LOVE it. The only downside is the range of colors, but like others have said, if you put it under foundation or powder it looks fine. Until about a month ago I had terrible acne and this saved me and helped make my skin seem flawless. Now it makes my already clear skin look like porcelain. This works great for under eye darkness, discoloration, and acne. Also, I just started using this as an eye primer and my eyeshadow doesn't crease for 8+ hours. Try this out, you won't regret it!

Purchased this on sale at Target in hope of a full coverage concealer. This is horrible. I put it underneath my eyes, and it dries IMMEDIATELY, so I have no time to blend it in, thus leaving a patch of concealer. Unless it matched your skin exactly you are going to look ridiculous. Also, it shows EVERY fine line you have, and is extremely cakey. Even on pimples, it covers in a huge patch around the pimple, but does'nt cover the pimple!!!! Horrible dry cakey product with a gross wand.

This is better than a lot of the concealers I have thrown away tonight!
Better coverage than Lancome in a tube, Maybelline coverstick and Fit Me concealer, Revlon colorstay, Kashuk quad, and all of Physicians F. concealers suck compared to this one, and my Chanel concealer stick also went in the trash tonight. I'm just sick of it. Why do I need to layer 2 or 3 brands to get an end result. This one stays put, yeah it dries fast but if you use that moist teardrop sponge to blend it, it blends so perfectly!!! I just set it with Hard Candy's welcome matte translucent powder and voila..

i absolutely hate this concealer. IT SUCKS. it is a waste of $10. it shows EVERY fine line. i got it because i didnt like that the usual concealer i use shows a FEW fine lines, but this one is even worse, it made me look like i was 50 years old. it says that its creamy, and ITS NOT. people were staring at me all day because of how bad it made me look. to be honest id rather wear no makeup then having to wear this rip off concealer. i used it once, and never using it again. i didnt apply too much, i applied the right amount. just seconds after i applied it, it set right into every fine line. the price sucks since the product really sucks, even if it was about just $10

This review is coming from a maybelline lover. Maybelline is by far my favorite makeup line even out of high end cosmetics. They make some of the only foundations that don't look cakey on my skin. That being said, I HATED this concealer. I read the reviews but figured I'd give it a try, because afterall some people hate the foundations also and I love them.

This is everything most people said it was--Cakey! Clings to every pore, wrinkle, you name it! I used it under my eyes and it looked TERRIBLE.

IMHO, the key to this concealer is LESS is MORE, and work quickly. It reminds me of the Kay Von D concealer or the Hard Candy Glamoflauge, concealer, both products are amazing at hiding anything, including tattoos. I love this product but I think it gets poor reviews because women are inpatient, high maintenance and use entirely too much product at once. Relax, ladies... take it easy. Anyway, to each her own. However, I love it, gonna keep buying it.

Cheers!

This is the only concealer I use. It's pretty thick, covers really well, and stays on through a good part of the day with powder. I do have to say that it dries fast once you put it on your skin, so you have to work fast in order to get it to blend. And it lasts a really long time. I don't use that much concealer when I put it on, but I do use it almost everyday (have been since August), and am still good to go until the end of summer. All in all, pretty good concealer, but I'll be wanting to try another brand for next year :)

I hate to be negative about a product... but this is really the worst concealer I've ever tried. Rather than going into heaps of detail, I'll just list the pros and cons.

Pros: ~It does stay on forever, like the name claims.
~It's thick, so it covers pretty well.
~Dries matte.

Cons: ~It dries super fast, so it's really hard to blend properly.
~It sinks into fine lines under the eyes almost immediately, even if you set it with a powder.
~It not only sinks into fine lines, on me it started to 'crack' (I know, it sounds gross), no matter how thin a layer I'd put on, after about half an hour.
~(Again, on me) it oxidised within half an hour.
~It smells really gross - kinda chemically. I don't like putting what smells like strong chemicals under my eyes!
~It's so hard to remove that I ended up having to almost scrub my undereye area - not good, as it's the most delicate part of the face!

I used this for a good two/three months, so I know that all the above things were true for me. I'd read so many good reviews, so it was really disappointing when it didn't work for me.

This is a great concealer. It really stays all day on your face and this is a big high point for me because I have many high end brand concealers that don't last untill lunch! The down point is that it dries super fast! You have to blend it as soon as you put on your face. I have dry skin and it is not moisturizing at all so you have to double moisturize your skin before applying it. The consistence is creamy and it has a good coverage for blemishes and dark spots. Under eyes it brights the area beautifully. I like to put it on under anything else, even foundation. I think as it is a long lasting concealer, even if foundation fades, it stays there. If you put over your foundation, if it fades, concealer will fade together. The best is it is really easy to find (any drugstore or ulta or walmart or target) and it is cheap!
