If there is one thing in my makeup regime I just can’t live without, it’s foundation.  Now, I’m more of a liquid kinda gal, medium to full coverage preferably. It’s also one of the few items I will splurge on, no double thinking it, foundation is an important step in any makeup application.

I have a few foundations (read: seven of them) on rotation right now, one of which is the new Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin foundation.  I’m don’t know as much about Maybelline foundations as I do other brands, but I understand that SuperStay has been out for a while and has quite the cult following.  As a result, when you release something to part of a family that’s already popular, expectations are going to be quite high.

Better Skin, which is available in 12 shades, promises a long wear that improves skin every minute you’re wearing it.  It’s supposed to brighten, smooth, and make your complexion more even. It has micro-flex technology and the antioxidant power of Actyl-C, which if you’re not a scientist, you probably have no clue what that is. Well lucky for you, dear reader, I Googled it for you, and it’s apparently a stable form of vitamin C, and is often used to clear blemishes. This foundation is marketed to reduce the appearance of spots, bumps, dullness, and redness to give you a brighter, smoother, and more-even skin. For the best results, obviously wear it often.

There is also a concealer in the range, which also contains Actyl-C, and is supposed to instantly provide all-day flawless correction.  It also helps to visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles, spots, and imperfections in just three weeks.
