I’m in my 40s & tried the Maybelline powder foundation – I didn’t expect much but I don’t look like the crypt keeper now
A BEAUTY fan decided to try Maybelline’s viral ‘hybrid powder foundation’ and was left amazed by the results.
Dana Lajeaunesse, 46, is a make-up artist based in Canada and she took to TikTok to give the new product a go for herself.
It turns out there’s a good reason make-up lovers have been raving about the ‘super stay’ powder foundation.
Dana explained in the video that powder usually isn’t great for “mature skin” but this one worked wonders.
“Powder can be the devil over 40, even over 35 it can be the devil,” she said.
The make-up whizz wasn’t expecting much from the product, but she decided to give it the benefit of the doubt anyway and applied it with a damp beauty sponge on one side of her face and a brush on the other.
Immediately, Dana was impressed by how much coverage the powder foundation had on her skin, as it covered up the dark patches and redness perfectly.
“I’m looking in the mirror and I don’t look like the crypt keeper,” she joked, before showing there was no filter on the video.
The pro recommended moisturising mature skin well before using the powder to make it less drying.
Next she tried applying it was a damp beauty sponge to see if it made any difference.
“I would say the coverage is a bit heavier with a sponge,” she said.
The powder even covered the dark circles under her eyes without adding any concealer or extra products.
She added: “It’s concealing the forehead lines, everything.”
Fellow beauty lovers were amazed by the results and couldn’t wait to get their hands on one for themselves.
“You went from 40 to 20 real quick,” one viewer raved.
A second commented: “Wow literally amazing, looks like a filter.”
Another agreed: “Your skin is instantly so unbelievably blurred!! I love the brush application side.”
“Wow you just aged backwards instantly,” someone else said.
