Comments about Maybelline PureStay Powder Foundation SPF 15:
I have used this product for ten years and it's by far my FAV! It goes on smooth, does not seep into pores or make those ugly lines like a base can. Only thing that disappoints me is that the stores have stopped carrying the last three darkest colors which I wear during the summertime.

Comments about Maybelline PureStay Powder Foundation SPF 15:
A friend gave this to me to try instead of the liquid foundation I had always worn. I never thought a powder could provide enough coverage, but I really like this product. I haven't tried another powder foundation so I can only compare it to liquids that I've tried. I tried using my liquid foundation after using this powder for a while, and now the liquids all feel so heavy and greasy!
The one con for me is that I do have to reapply it at least once during the day.

Comments about Maybelline PureStay Powder Foundation SPF 15:
Loved everything about this product, the feel, the application, the pigment and color. However more zits than I am used to popped up a day or two after wear so not certain if that was the cause...

I've used this product for a long time. I use a liquid foundation with this powder foundation on top and it doesn't cause me to breakout or seem too thick.

Comments about Maybelline PureStay Powder Foundation SPF 15:
I had been using the Aveda and MAC foundation powders for years and finally discovered this a couple of years ago and thought for under $10, it was worth trying. I am so glad I did. I use this with the Maybeline cover stick and it provides really solid coverage. I like it just as well as MAC and Aveda, and better because it's less expensive. Spending less on my foundtion lets me splurge on Benefit blushes. I highly recommend this powder foundation.

Comments about Maybelline PureStay Powder Foundation SPF 15:
This is a great, easy foundation to use. It doesn't cover quite as well as a thicker liquid foundation but, if you've got relatively healthy and even skin, it does the job.

Comments about Maybelline PureStay Powder Foundation SPF 15:
I've tried every foundation under the sun (pricey department store brands, drug store brands, you name it) and I always go back to PureStay. It takes me less than a minute to apply, and I keep an extra one in my bag for touchups. It stays on well, but I'll usually need to blot my nose and forehead and reapply it after a couple hours (oily t-zone). It's clean and I never feel like I'm wearing makeup but it gives me just the right amount of coverage.
Sometimes when I feel like I need more coverage, I'll apply a very light layer of liquid foundation and then apply PureStay over it and, wow, my skin looks flawless while still feeling clean and natural. I haven't been able to achieve this with any other product combination.
I noticed PureStay was starting to dwindle on the shelves at other retailers so I tried to find a substitute and nothing even came close. I hope it never gets discontinued -- I don't know what I'd do!
