I’m the first person to admit that I get caught up while scrolling through social media. But scrolling isn’t all that bad, especially when I get some of my favorite beauty secrets from TikTok.
One makeup find I discovered two years ago on the platform is the Maybelline Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint, which I’ve used every single day since. And I’m not the only fan — Reba McEntire’s makeup artist Kristene Bernard shared that she used the drugstore foundation to create the singer’s Super Bowl glow back in February.

Right now, almost every shade is on sale. When I first saw the $13 price, I was skeptical that the foundation would cover blemishes, especially since my skin decided to break out like a teenager following my move to an island. But I was impressed the first time I tried it: Not only does it conceal redness, bumps, and dark circles, but the formula gives my skin a radiance I haven’t seen from any other foundation.
Because I live in an environment where the climate is hot and humid all year round, I steer clear of thick, cakey makeup, so I like that the Maybelline foundation is lightweight and dewy. It glides on easily and barely feels like I’m wearing makeup after I apply it. Plus, it’s sweat-proof and hydrates and brightens my skin thanks to nourishing vitamin C. Seriously, I can’t even count the number of compliments I’ve gotten on my skin while wearing it!
Amazon shoppers love the glow it gives them, too. “This is my holy grail skin tint,” one person shared. “This is the first drugstore product I have found that competes and quite honestly blows many high-end skin tints out of the water!”
Another reviewer with dry complexion said the moisturizer keeps their skin looking “extremely hydrated and moisturized” and “super glowy.”
I use shade 118, although the foundation is available in 17 other colors. Application is quick and easy — I usually start with a spot concealer on clean skin, and then rub it into my skin using a foundation brush. The foundation is ultra-buildable, so I typically layer bronzer, blush, and highlighter on top.
If you’re looking for a new everyday foundation, the Maybelline Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint is a must-have. Keep scrolling for more affordable foundations with rave reviews on Amazon.
