Affordable Foundation for Combination to Dry and Normal Skin Types
Super Stay 24h SPF19 by Maybelline New York
I found this foundation on sale after Christmas for a great price- 75kr (which is app. $11.50) The ordinary price for this foundation is somewhere between 140kr and 160 kr, depending on the place you buy it from. I took the 010 Ivory shade since my skin tone is close to pale. However, there are more options you can choose from. In total, they offer 12 different skin tones/shades.
I did not read any comments or reviews before I bought it so I took a risk. The foundation has a Microflex formula, non-transferable, breathable, and is supposed to stay for 24h.
To be honest, I was quite skeptical about the "super stay 24h " factor, especially after buying it on a sale. Most foundations I have to make my face shiny and oily only after an hour (maximum two) wearing them.
The result:
The coverage of the formula is amazing and moves very well with the skin. It was easy to apply and didn't look too heavy nor sticky. I used my fingers to apply it and I couldn't sense any specific smell. The finish war rather matt and I did not use powder to set the foundation. After wearing it for a couple of hours it looked and felt very nice and light (even though it has such a strong coverage)

The downside:
It was so difficult to take it off. It took me literally half an hour to wash it off! They really meant 24h stay!
The conclusion:

The conclusion:
To conclude, I would recommend this foundation to anyone with a combination of normal or dry skin. Great coverage, does not cause any redness, and is light to wear.
