Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation, Lightweight and Buildable Full Coverage Foundation Makeup For Up To 30HR Wear, 112, 1 Count

Good

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 best foundation I've ever tried. I got shade 110. I have a very fair neutral skin tone that leans a tad bit more on the yellow side. This foundation is literally my perfect match. It has the perfect finish too. It's matte which is great for my combination/oily skin, but doesn't look flat or dry either because of the lumi effect. I like the natural makeup look, and this foundation makes my skin look flawless without looking like there is cakey foundation on it. At first I tried shade 112 which looked terrible on me. It was a bit orange and too pink for my skin tone. If I hadn't tried this shade I would have thought this foundation was a no go. So glad I ordered 110 instead since it is lighter and warmer. It also lasts throughout the day and doesn't oxidize. Another bonus is that the ingredients are very good compared to most foundations. So happy! Do recommend!

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.

This foundation formula is magic! My very textured skin looks so much smoother with this on and it lasts longer than any other foundation I've tried. I have oily acne prone skin that gets dry patches and irritation due to dry climate and tretinoin but this foundation always looks good. Good coverage, and is lightweight. My only thing is that lightest shade 102 isn't quite light enough for me unfortunately especially in the winter, and it can pull a little orange when it oxidizes. I really hope Maybelline can add a few more shades!
