Review: Maybelline, Neutrogena & Revlon

Products

• Maybelline SuperStay 24HR Makeup Sand Beige 
• Neutrogena SkinClearing mineral powder Classic Ivory & Buff 
• Revlon ColorStay pressed powder Light

These are the products that I've been trying out lately. I usually never stray away from Revlon Colorstay but I wanted to get something lighter to wear. I was aiming for at least medium coverage to at least mask any redness.

Revlon Colorstay pressed powder Light

First impressions: Goes on smooth but this shade was too light for me. Light Medium would have probably worked better for summer.

Pros:

• great coverage
• long lasting
• doesn't look cakey.

Cons:

• if you have a problem nose, you'll need to re-apply!

Bare vs Neutrogena SkinClearing mineral powder Classic Ivory

First impressions: Hated! It made my skin look dry and it caked up. It didn't cover redness.

Pros:

• two-sided applicator sheer & fuller coverage
• matte face
• touch ups around 6+ hrs

Cons:

• not enough coverage for redness
• drying and cakey
• extra skin prep

I'll keep using these powders for the 0.5% Salicylic Acid though.

Maybelline SuperStay 24HR Makeup Sand Beige

First impressions: Little too nude/pink in person then it kind of settles.

Pros:

• medium coverage
• Feels light
• Touch ups 6+ hrs

Cons:

• Easily removable with water

I used this for around three weeks. It's definitely a lighter version of Revlon Colorstay. The lasting power is quite similar too! It blends nicely near my neck.

What's your summer makeup?
