Turns out brightened, radiant skin is just a tint away

The product

PSA: it’s time to step away from the skin care routine. Okay, that's too far. We definitely need some skin care ingredients in our routine. But we’ve just found the lightweight (yet buildable) skin tint that's here to shake up your makeup game. 

Yep, big call. Especially considering there’s a new skin care-makeup-hybrid coming on the market basically every other day. But this one has snuck in one of our (worst) kept secrets to radiant, brightened skin. So are you ready to kick dull and drab to the curb? Good, because this vitamin C skin tint is here to help. 

The Maybelline New York Super Stay Up to 24HR Skin Tint has some big promises to fulfil in just its name. With all the skin tints on the market, Maybelline New York needed to come out with something different. And boy did they ever. So, 24 hour wear. Look, it’s been a while since we chose to stay up and out of our beds for over 24 hours, but if you’re up for the challenge then put it to the test. Because if Maybelline New York’s other SuperStay products are anything to go by, it’s pretty well budge-proof (and sweat-proof, in fact). 

But what makes the ‘tint’ aspect any different? Well it’s infused with vitamin C, our go-to ally for radiance. Although it’s known at times to be too harsh on sensitive skin, Maybelline have ensured that this tint is gentle enough for all skin types. So everyone gets to enjoy the brightened ‘your-skin-but-better’ feel to this foundation. 

The next point of note is how different it feels to your typical tint. Applied with a dropper (très skin care of it no?) this tint is actually buildable. Yep, designed with a slightly thicker formula this tint is able to be built up all while still maintaining that ultra-comfortable feel. 

All that’s left to do is pop on some highlight and read up on what the REVIEWcrew® members had to say about the illumination, lightweight effects…

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the Maybelline New York Super Stay Up to 24HR Skin Tint to a panel aged 18-35 looking for brightened, lightweight skin-perfection. 

The lowdown

The lightweight coverage: Telling you that a skin tint has a lightweight coverage is the beauty equivalent of ‘florals for spring’. We get it. But when we tell you our REVIEWcrew® members raved about the ‘second skin’-like finish, you’ll see why it was worth a mention. But just because the formula is ultra-comfortable with a barely there finish doesn’t mean that it’s not absolutely packed with skin-loving, longwearing ingredients. 

How longwearing the formula is: Which brings us on to the 24 hour elephant in the room. Did any of our members put the formula to the whole 24 hour test? Honestly, probably not, but we don’t blame them. Because for what it was worth they could see how steadfast the formula was, providing them with some seriously long-lasting coverage. 

The glowy radiant finish: Every so often you come across a makeup product that’s so perfectly infused with a heaping helping of skin care ingredients that you question whether or not you actually need to apply skin care today. Well, our REVIEWcrew® members can confirm. The gorgeous radiant, glowing complexion they had from extended use of this foundation is no joke. The vitamin C infusion works to brighten your skin in the moment and long after you’ve cleansed the day away.
