16 Best Maybelline Products

If you weren't, um, born with it -- try some of these top-rated beauty products and fake it already

No. 16: Maybelline New York Mineral Powder Finishing Veil Translucent Loose Powder, $9.99 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 8*
Why: Readers call this a "great summer powder!" "I apply this over my moisturizer in the summer for a light, no-shine face. I have used lots of finishing powders [before], but this one is inexpensive and the payoff is fantastic." Another says that this product gives a "flawless finish" as a "fabulous powder." "I put it on over my foundation and my skin looks flawless and beautiful. My face feels so smooth and feels like silk." One woman says she uses this alone sans foundation or concealer and gets amazing results: "I just brush it lightly over my face. One layer is all I need and my face is not even perfect. I have freckles and discoloration, but this really covers everything and illuminates my face in all the right places. It also keeps the shine off my nose for a really long time."

Maybelline continues to produce awesome products; I wish their "Stylish Smokes" eyeshadow quads were here. They can compete with upscale brands in terms of color, ease of application, and beauty, at a fraction of the price!

Maybelline is a great brand, glad to see a feature of their top products!

I think I'll try the lip polish.

Awesome! Lots of products at a great price. Love maybelline and always will.

Maybelline is my favorite drugstore makeup brand especially the mascara

by konfidential Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 10:31AM Report as inappropriate

A great sampling of different items from a remarkable drugstore brand.

Maybe she's born with it!

I've had good luck with their eyeshadow, I'm excited to try the lipstick though.

I really like the powder! Maybelline has good cosmetics.

I loved the translucent powder. Unfortunately I dropped it and everything spilled out.

I really like their eye makeup remover. The dream matte powder is nice too, but definitely did not help me stay matte. And their salon expert nail polish is amazing!

I really like the mineral powder, however, I do not use this when my skin is having a 'dry' day.

by Veronica14324 Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 09:17PM Report as inappropriate

I like their mousse foundation that's in the can.

over all I like maybelline but I hate some of their products, plus some of the products on here arent even available anymore...

by rachaellh13 Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 03:20PM Report as inappropriate

most of these are discontinued.

Maybelline isn't what it used to be

nice

by yun_yuwa Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 10:01AM Report as inappropriate

great, but a lot of these have been discontinued. :(

awesome

For all the ladies who have been using products to try and hide dark circles under your eyes, you have to try Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles, and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Makeup. Since my health started to decline and showed especially under my eyes, I've been searching for years for a product that truly will hide them. I can't tell you how these two products truly do hide my dark circles and makes my complexion look perfect. I guarantee you won't go back to using any other makeup products once you've tried these two.

Dream matte powder and mascaras!!! Best Maybelline products for me.

by lisiana_de_bem_justino Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 07:56PM Report as inappropriate

Fun list! I only have a couple of Maybelline items in my makeup case, but I like them! A loose powder (that I'm almost out of, and I'm not sure they even still make it) and a concealer pencil that I KNOW they stopped making. I'll enjoy them while they last!

Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser is the affordable "gold standard" for successfully covering dark circles . . .

by maria_carmela_renna Monday, April 2, 2012 at 04:19PM Report as inappropriate

love it! I've been looking for some more maybelline products to try

by sportimonki13 Sunday, March 18, 2012 at 09:33PM Report as inappropriate

Some new products to try!

Saving up to buy them:)

So glad to see my some of my products on there :) especially the color sensatonal lipstick!

by lavenderlady07 Friday, November 11, 2011 at 10:05PM Report as inappropriate

I have used must of these at one time or another and they are all awesome.

The Full 'n Soft Waterproof Mascara is WONDERFUL! I generally like Maybelline products... I'm anxious to try the creamy brow wax mentioned.

by dawnrager Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 09:39PM Report as inappropriate

what i love about their products is mostly the mascara .. they really make my lashes very long and very thick.. its like im using "fake lashes"

by Mssaralee18 Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at 08:02AM Report as inappropriate

ive tried their eyeshadows.. im not impressed.. the pigments or the color are frustrating.. you always have to reaapply it..

by Mssaralee18 Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at 07:05AM Report as inappropriate

I'm not a big fan of Maybelline, maybe I haven't found the right product

by Only1KimmieD Friday, October 14, 2011 at 08:32AM Report as inappropriate

I love Full n' Soft mascara...it's my absolute favorite!

by vfalkow Friday, September 9, 2011 at 05:32PM Report as inappropriate

maybelline just isnt for me

by Bon_Bon Monday, August 15, 2011 at 01:13AM Report as inappropriate

I don't really like any of the maybelline products.

by MissPurple Friday, July 15, 2011 at 02:05PM Report as inappropriate

I really don't like that concealer/highlighter (No. 11 on this list). It does absolutely nothing for my dark circles and there's barely any product in the tube and the highlighter comes out messy when I close it.

by vanillasummer Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at 08:26PM Report as inappropriate

I've been meaning to try their brow pen (the mechanical one)... maybe I'll give their powder a try

by awan0912 Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 10:41AM Report as inappropriate

i have the maybelline powder

by azngrl25 Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 04:25PM Report as inappropriate

I really don't like Maybelline's makeup remover. I've tried two of the powders that were featured and was underwhelmed by them too.

by LipglossandSpandex Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 05:20PM Report as inappropriate

Wow. Very interesting. I haven't used Maybelline in years but now I think a trip to the drugstore is in order to try a few things.

by Agrimony Friday, February 25, 2011 at 02:37PM Report as inappropriate

Maybelline is an ok brand, s ome of their stuff is quite good and some can be ...bad

by judyangel101 Friday, February 18, 2011 at 07:18PM Report as inappropriate

maybelline kind of sucks

by LittleBunny Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 09:05PM Report as inappropriate

for the price I'll try out all these!

by Bon_Bon Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 07:19PM Report as inappropriate

Definitely want to try some of these now that I've seen the reviews!

by kayla_d_moore Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 01:15PM Report as inappropriate

i love maybelline's collosal mascara and their foundation!

by kenya Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 10:10PM Report as inappropriate

I love Maybelline Foundations and Blushes and Glosses and Eyeshadows, Just don't like the mascara.

by CliniqueLover Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 04:37PM Report as inappropriate

Love this mascara!! I do not use waterproof but it is just as good. Walmart in my area still sells it and I try to get brown which is not easy!! Great mascara.

by Sheilaa Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 03:01AM Report as inappropriate

Some of these items may be discontinued, but believe me, these products are still widely available in stores. I'm not a big Maybelline fan, but I know it's had a huge following, for many years.

by sharon_smitherson Monday, August 23, 2010 at 09:44PM Report as inappropriate

Not as useful as it seems. A significant number of these products have been discontinued, such as the mineral blush and expert nail polish.

by lilinah Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 07:14AM Report as inappropriate

Maybelline has passed the test of time...and I actually use the the Lash Discovery mini-brush mascara for my lower lids...tiny and perfect to coat that small area!
