Coverage splits experts who call it light to medium or fuller than a typical skin tint. For anyone with oily skin or humid weather, reviewers found it lightweight, long-wearing and smooth over nose texture. The packaging is a common complaint because it gets messy fast, and alcohol sits fourth on the ingredient list, so anyone sensitive to it may want to patch test first. Shine through the T-zone also came up as a downside.

"One of my favorite oily skin friendly foundations from the drugstore is the Maybelline SuperStay 24-hour skin tint. [...] What I like about this is it's light to medium coverage. And to me, that is the sweet spot for foundation coverage. If you go medium to full coverage, it's always going to look makeupy in person, and that's fine. But if you want kind of an everyday look, light to medium coverage foundation is generally where it's at."

My Favorite Anti-Aging Makeup - Your Skin But 20 Years Younger | Dr. Sam Ellis
"If you have oily skin or you live in a very humid climate or you often need a more longwear foundation just based on the nature of what you're doing over the course of the day or the night, may I recommend the Maybelline SuperStay 24-hour skin tint? This has basically replaced my Dior foundation because it is equally as beautiful and it doesn't have fragrance which just gives it like an extra point for me."
"This is probably our fullest coverage in terms of skin tint. [...] What I love about this one is there's no texture here, it's just my nose texture. Usually if I put foundation on top of my nose texture, I get this really dried out kind of texture around here. It looks like dry skin, it physically looks like dry skin. Whereas this glides over really nicely. I [...] have worn it for two or three hours and it still looks stunning on the skin. This I would say is for you more oily people out there."

TRYING NEW MAKEUP ! Keep it, Fix it, Dump it August 2023
"I have the Maybelline Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint. I've been wanting to try this for a really long time. [...] It goes on very well. I definitely found that more of a buffing with a foundation made it look nicer than tapping into the skin. [...] Initially, first up, it's good."
"If you're looking for a full coverage setting powder at a great price, I would give the Super Stay a try. It definitely stayed in place, I don't have a lot of creasing, and I think both under eyes [...] look fantastic. [...] If you like a more matte look, I would say go for it with a little bit of the setting powder by Maybelline."

10 Most Popular Skin Tints of 2024 for Mature Skin! (Reviewed & Ranked)
"I was actually pleasantly surprised by this formula. It gets a 4.2 ranking on Ulta and the cost is super reasonable at $11 an ounce. [...] As soon as I opened this product I did smell alcohol and alcohol denat is the fourth ingredient, which may or may not be a problem for some of you. [...] As far as coverage, [...] it's not as light as I'd expect for a skin tint, but of course it is claiming to be very longwearing and when it's longwearing it's going to have a higher level of pigment."
"It's not really my favorite though, it's gotten pretty shiny through my T-zone and I feel like it's accentuating pores and texture. It didn't settle in my wrinkles per se but it is kind of cracking to the sides of my nose and in my nasal labial folds, it's definitely like cracked and weird looking there. I've got some skin flakes popped up above my eyebrows."
"If you want something long wear and you have more oily skin, the Maybelline Superstay Tint is phenomenal. [...] With summer being here, she wanted something more long wear, so she used this one."

Full Face Using ONLY Maybelline
"This is their new Super Stay 24 hour skin tint, this stuff is insane, it is so good. It's gonna be my favorite video this month. I've been using it non-stop but it is incredible. It doesn't have crazy coverage but it does have a little bit of coverage which is nice and it just preps the skin really beautifully and adds a really nice healthy glow. [...] I really wish they would have done a different packaging for this because I just know it's going to get so messy but it is what it is."
My #1 Products from July 2023 😍
"I wear the shade 110. This is so beautiful, it's so lightweight but long wearing. It gives great coverage without feeling heavy on the skin, which is spectacular. [...] You guys have seen me wear this several times on my channel since trying it, it is so beautiful. I wish they did something different with the packaging because it's already getting so messy, so I don't love that, but besides the packaging it's still worth it to me, especially since it's from the drugstore."
The #1 Foundations for FALL + a secret 😉
"The Maybelline Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint has like vitamin C in it, you guys know how much I love this too. The longevity is insane, it's so lightweight but you also get great coverage.

My #1 Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍

This Makeup INSTANTLY Boosted My Confidence ❤️
"This is something that wears so well. This allows your skin to look like skin but it covers up anything that you want to cover. [...] It's fantastic. [...] You really don't need much with this. [...] A little goes a very long way with this product. This product is so good."

I was losing faith in the drugstore.. UNTIL NOW 😍
"Maybelline Super Stay 24 hour skin tint, this stuff does not mess around. The only thing I wish was different is the packaging but I can get past that because the formula is so good. I love how it gives you great coverage, it feels lightweight, it looks lightweight, but it's also long wearing, which is not always the case with a skin tint. So I think that's something unique about it. Really loving this right now."
The BEST Makeup TODAY.. According to YOU!
"I really love this I think it would be great for people who want a little more longevity in their skin tint but I was so shocked to actually hear how many people are using this in the summer and it's a product that has been with me in my collection for years so I feel like it was so cool to see how many people are obsessed with this especially for summer."

THE BEST DRUGSTORE MAKEUP OF 2023
"This is the Maybelline Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint with vitamin C. This stuff is so beautiful. [...] It has longevity, it has coverage, it's lightweight, it's skin-like. [...] My only complaint is the packaging. It just gets so messy. This type of packaging with a dropper is just not my favorite, so I wish more than anything that it had a pump. [...] But I love this. You can amp it up and make it more glam if you want, [...] or it's amazing for every day. 10 out of 10."
Easy Holiday Makeup with the Perfect Drugstore Lip!

New Year's Eve Look - ALL Affordable Makeup!
"This stuff is so good. It's great for everyday and also more glam looks because it gives good coverage and has longevity, but it's lightweight, so it's really the best of all the worlds in my opinion. [...] A little goes a long way, but seriously it looks so good on the skin. I feel like this is my current favorite drugstore foundation. [...] This one really is something special. [...] If you're looking for a good new drugstore foundation, this is where it's at."
WHAT I BOUGHT AT ULTA & SEPHORA 🙈
"It blends like butter and has the most beautiful glow. It gives me a glow without looking greasy. It looks so smooth and seamless."
The PERFECT Easy Winter Makeup ❄️
"This stuff is incredible. I feel like it gives great coverage but it's like the perfect amount of hydration without being overly hydrating and it's also not super mattifying. It's just like a perfect in between. Plus I find that it gives actually really good coverage which I love on an everyday basis even if I want like a lightweight look to the skin look and feel."
What I Recently Bought at Sephora (and trying it!!)
"It's a skin tint, so like even though it technically shouldn't have too much coverage, the Maybelline SuperStay Skin Tint actually does have quite a bit of coverage."
Here's the BEST Drugstore Makeup RIGHT NOW 😍
"I honestly feel like it's one of the best complexion products at the drugstore at the moment. [...] I feel like this would work well for all skin types too. It has longevity, so I feel like it's going to work for oily skin, but it also isn't so drying that it wouldn't work on dry skin. [...] It's just so versatile and I love the finish. It's not super glowy, it has more of a natural finish. [...] This one just overall [...] works for every day and it also works for more glamorous occasions."
The PERFECT Barbie Makeup Look 💕
"I'm going to take a skin tint, this one is from Maybelline, it's the Super Stay 24 Hour Skin Tint. This stuff is so good. [...] It's a skin tint but it's flawless, gives great coverage but it's lightweight. [...] It gives such good coverage but it looks like your skin."
Top 10 Foundations of 2025 Voted by YOU
"This really does have incredible longevity for a skin tint. It's so good. It looks perfected but not too much, lasts all day, and is compatible with all the products you've applied underneath or on top. With a little powder next to the nose it stays as shiny as possible but not noticeably oily. It's really great to know when you find a formula that you know is going to wear well and you don't have to worry about all day long."
The Ultimate 2024 Drugstore Makeup Starter Kit!
"Another one of my all-time favorites is from Maybelline. This is also a skin tint product, this one does offer a little more coverage and a little bit more longevity, which is why I would recommend it for more oily skin if you have more oily skin, because it just wears a little bit more on the matte side, although it's not drying. So this is another great option. [...] My only thing with these skin tints is the packaging. I do not like it. I do think it's messy."
WHOA, is this the BEST NEW Skin Tint?!
"It gives you that flawless long-wear effect without looking makeup-y. This is a much more thin, higher coverage type of product, more long-wearing, and it dries down a little bit more dry. [...] If you're a fan of the other one but you wish it lasted a little longer, I think you would like this. If you're somebody that has more oily skin and you've been looking for a skin tint product that doesn't just melt off your face, give this one a go."
The Only Wedding Makeup Tutorial You’ll Ever Need
"If you don't want to splurge on foundations, I love the Maybelline Skin Tint. The 24-hour one has great coverage and great longevity. There's a glowier one you could mix in for more glow, but I wouldn't wear that one by itself since it's not as long wear."

"If you want something long wear and you have more oily skin, the Maybelline Superstay Tint is phenomenal. [...] With summer being here, she wanted something more long wear, so she used this one."
"I haven't used this quite as long as L'Oreal just because it launched a little bit later, but it has also been a favorite of mine for years at this point and is something that I continue to reach for, continue to repurchase, and continue to recommend to this day. [...] Texture-wise this is incredibly similar to L'Oreal, and [...] the coverage is as well, though I actually feel like I can build this up a little more to medium/full coverage but not full full."

"The Maybelline Super Stay Skin Tint is gorgeous, but I don't have one single shade that's a good match for me, so I'm always mixing on the back of my hand, which drives me nuts. This one definitely does settle into lines a little bit more than something like the SE skin tint. So while I love it, I recognize that that could be improved about it."

I feel like my skin always looks great when I have it on."
What the evidence says.
Independent of what the gurus think, this is what
the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Vitamin C
Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
Maybelline's Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint is a lightweight liquid foundation designed to give everyday coverage that lasts through the day.
