The Maybelline Superstay Liquid Make Up Base is intended to be the foundational step in your makeup routine, working to optimize the performance of your subsequent products. Its liquid consistency makes it easy to spread, providing a consistent layer that acts as a bridge between your skincare and your color cosmetics.
Extended Wear: When applied correctly, this base is expected to grip your foundation, preventing it from migrating, fading, or creasing prematurely, thus extending its wear time thanks to the 'Superstay' benefit.
Smooth Canvas: It helps to smooth out the skin's surface, minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines, allowing foundation to glide on more evenly for a more perfected look.
Enhanced Radiance/Finish: By creating a uniform surface, it can contribute to a more radiant or matte finish (depending on its specific properties, which are not detailed), enhancing the overall appeal of your makeup.
Skin Preparation: Always start with a clean, moisturized face. Allow your moisturizer to fully absorb before applying the base.
Dispense & Apply: Squeeze a small amount (pea-sized for the entire face) onto your fingertips, a makeup sponge, or a brush.
Even Distribution: Dot the base onto key areas of your face (forehead, nose, cheeks, chin) and gently blend outwards, ensuring an even, thin layer. Focus on areas where makeup tends to fade or crease first.
Allow to Set: Let the base sit for 30-60 seconds to fully set before applying your foundation or concealer. This allows it to create the optimal adhesive layer.
Layering: Follow with your preferred foundation, concealer, and other makeup as usual. You should notice improved blendability and longevity.
Preparation: Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized. This provides the best canvas for the makeup base.
Dispense: Gently squeeze a small amount of the liquid base onto your fingertips, a clean makeup brush, or a sponge.
Apply Evenly: Start by applying a thin, even layer across your face, blending from the center outwards. Pay attention to areas where you typically apply foundation or where makeup tends to break down.
Wait Briefly: Allow the product to set for a minute before proceeding with your foundation or other face makeup.
Skin Types: As a general liquid makeup base, it is designed for broad compatibility. However, if you have particularly sensitive, oily, or dry skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of your skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the jawline) 24 hours before full face application to check for any adverse reactions.
Other Makeup: This base is designed to be compatible with most liquid, cream, and powder foundations. It acts as a primer, enhancing their performance.
Storage: Store the Maybelline Superstay Liquid Make Up Base in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its efficacy and texture.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out or being exposed to air, which can compromise its formula.
Hygiene: Avoid touching the applicator directly to your face to prevent bacterial contamination. If using fingers, ensure they are clean. Regularly clean any brushes or sponges used for application.
