Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation, Lightweight and Buildable Full Coverage Foundation Makeup For Up To 30HR Wear, 400, 1 Count

I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION! I have dry skin and always do my skin care routine prior to putting on my makeup. I have curated a routine that keeps me hydrated and plays well with ALL makeup. I have been wearing Haus Labs Triclone foundation for years, but my skin is fairer than it normally is (I live in the desert and am inside all Summer) and figured I'd try this foundation as opposed to trying to figure out my new shade in Haus Lab's 65 shade options (they have a VERY confusing skin tone format). I found 118 perfect for my light/neutral skin tone. This foundation is JUST AS GOOD as any foundation you can find in Sephora. I have tried SO many foundations, and this goes on smoothly, covers well, and like the Triclone, keeps a skin-like finish. I will say that it dries down quickly so there is not a lot of time for placement. Do not pump this on your face and blend section at a time (NOBODY should be pumping foundation on their face) because it dries fast. I pump two pumps it into my hand, dip my brush in and work section at a time, then repeat the process till my face is covered. This LASTS ALL DAY, doesn't budge once it's dried, and withstands sweat, the heat, and a full day of activities. I would say this reminds me of a combination of Triclone Foundation and Estee Lauder Double wear. The LUMI-MATTE finish is muah! CHEF'S KISS. Since I use a moisturizing skin care routine, oftentimes a luminous foundation can be too much glow for my taste. Then I have to powder more heavily than I like, then it's too matte and I need to use a hydrating setting spray and lumi blush. It's a vicious cycle. This dries and has a soft, illumination to it but it also dries to be a matte finish. How? IDK! I end up powdering ONLY where I use concealer and this gives me that perfect finish I am after. This NEVER ends up being too luminous for me. I think anyone can pull this foundation off, oily or dry. I think this would be AWESOME for oily skin people who want to wear a lumi foundation but can't without over-powdering the face. They probably need to make more shades of this line because as it stands, there aren't enough to cover every skin tone, and they need to. I predict that this, along with the Super Stay Skin Tint, will be a part of Maybelline's permanent collection. I used to use the Eraser foundation for years, but this is much better as it stays put ALL DAY LONG. I'm so glad I tried this as it has become my go-to foundation I wear everyday now. If you have dry skin, do not skip your moisturizing routine prior to wearing this as I could foresee it becoming patchy and dry looking. For oily skin people, I think a grippy primer like Elf Power Grip or Maybelline Grippy primer would work well under this. I have Milk Makeup Hydro-Grip and I haven't tried it with that yet, but I will and follow up with my results! Maybelline and L'oreal have been killing it lately! They keep this up and I won't ever have to step into a Sephora again!

This is the absolute best foundation EVER!!!! It’s the perfect shade for my skin tone, it blends so easy & well. I’ve used Fit Me Dewy & Smooth for years until I tried Lumi Matte and now there’s no going back. It has a nice scent, not too thick at all and not too drying which is extremely important for my usually dry skin. Perfect age defying formula: doesn’t set into wrinkles. I use it with the Grippy primer and it lasts 24 hours for sure with little touch up required. Beats out high end brands effortlessly.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have mature skin. That is, I never took care of it, tanned way too much, etc. In the last couple of years, I've noticed my pores are appearing larger. I have been trying multiple foundations that are advertised as for "mature skin" or "color-matching", only to be disappointed. I saw this Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation reviewed on quite a few websites and I figured, what do I have to lose? Other foundations that I have tried just did not look right because of color or, worse yet, settling into wrinkles. I am so happy that I gave this foundation a try. I have slightly olive-toned skin and did not want a "pinkish" tone so I chose the #129 - Neutral Cool color. It was a perfect match!!! It seemed to go on light but then develops to a more natural (and not pink) tint. As I said, I have "mature skin" and have developed deep smile lines and moderate crows feet. This foundation, paired with Maybelline Super Stay Liquid Concealer (SS Concealer #30) and Rimmel London Stay Matte - 003 - Primer has made a huge difference with those smile lines and the crows feet are now barely visible. I put a dab or two onto a makeup disk and then apply the foundation with a brush and it goes on smoothly. The liquid is not too thick & not too thin. But, the thing that I am most happy with is that it is a perfect match for my skin color. As I said, the color/tint appears light when you first apply it so, don't keep applying more. It'll change. You can build on it, though. I have not needed to. It seems to last about 10-12 hours without needing any correction. With it's matte finish, it does not look like I have foundation plastered over my entire face. It evens out my ruddy skin to a perfect finish and tone. The only thing that I do not like is the bottle's cap. It feels pretty fragile to me. I truly wish I that I had found this earlier. I am so happy with the color match and the final matte appearance.

The Maybelline Super Stay 30H Lumi Matte Foundation is a strong contender in the world of long-wear drugstore foundations — especially for those who want that elusive balance of a matte finish that doesn’t look flat or feel drying. Right off the bat, the formula impresses with how lightweight it feels on the skin. Despite offering solid medium-to-full coverage, it doesn’t cake or cling to texture. It spreads smoothly, blends easily (whether with a brush, sponge, or fingers), and sets to a velvety matte finish that still allows a bit of natural radiance to shine through — a big win for those who want a matte look without sacrificing a healthy glow. What really sets this foundation apart is its incredible staying power. It truly lives up to the “Super Stay” name, holding up beautifully through long days, heat, humidity, and even light sweat. It doesn’t break apart in oily areas or cling to dry patches, and minimal touch-ups are needed — if any. It stays comfortable and breathable for hours, even when layered or worn under a mask. The only drawback? The shade range is limited, especially compared to other modern foundations. While the available shades work for light to medium skin tones fairly well, deeper and ultra-fair tones may struggle to find a good match. This is a noticeable gap in an otherwise excellent formula.

I have normal to dry skin so I prep my skin well my usual morning skincare and sunscreen, let it settle and then apply this with dense flathead brush. Less is more. It doesn't break up or do anything naughty, looks great all day and evening. It plays nicely with other cosmetics. I easily double cleanse it off at night. Best I've used in a long, long time.. and the price is great, too.

Wow, this is great foundation. As a lifelong makeup addict (now over 60), this stuff is the BOMB. It feels sheer but covers well, is light and doesn't look cakey at all on skin like other foundations can once skin ages. I put it on the middle of my face mostly and blend outward to cover dark circles, nose, etc. I use my fingers to blend and finish with a dense makeup brush to remove any excess.

I have seen countless reviews of this foundation by MUAs, influencers, even Allure Magazine. Everybody says it is wonderful, a dupe for the Armani Luminous silk, that I don't own so I can't say if it is. I decided to buy it and so far I am very underwhelmed by it. I have combo skin. I am oily on my t-zone and I have to set all my foundations, even the matte ones because after a few hours I shine. That is not the case with this Maybelline one, and you would think that is a good thing but not really, because my skin looks very dry with this. I coudn't beleive it when I applied it and it dried super fast to a very matte finish. It looks like I am wearing a powder foundation. My skincare routine is on point, I do not have any dry patches and this foundation aged me. I didn't give up though and I tried it with very hydrating primers, luminous and glowy primers,and the result was not much different. It looks flat and dry. Then I tried mixing it with a glowy tinted moisturizer and the result was better but nowhere near what I expected. I am disappointed. I really wanted to like this foundation and I had high expectations. I will continue to use it mixed with moisturizer because I already spent the money and for everyday minimal makeup ocasions is good, but this is something I can't wear when I need to look my best. I am giving it 3 stars because the packaging is nice, the shade match was perfect, it is very thin, application is easy, it is indeed transfer proof, and I found a way to still use it mixed with other products, but I will not buy it again. I will update this review if I somehow find a way to use it by itself and get a good result.

This foundation is awesome. It looks like your skin but much better. It is so light weight and beautiful. I could not even tell that I had applied because the match was perfect and seamless. It is like high-end foundation.
