Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation, Lightweight and Buildable Full Coverage Foundation Makeup For Up To 30HR Wear, 129, 1 Count

Really good. Stays on all day. Will repurchase.

I’m seriously impressed with Maybelline Lumi Matte! It gives that beautiful soft-matte finish without making my skin look flat or cakey. My skin still looks like skin—just smoother, more even, and naturally radiant. The video is after getting rained on and being in the heat for hours. It’s lightweight, blends like a dream, and doesn’t cling to dry patches (which is a miracle for my combo skin). I wore it all day without it breaking up or settling into fine lines. Plus, it layers well with blush and bronzer without pilling.

This is the foundation that ended my search. Genuinely. Prepare for the yap I am about to serve. I was looking for a new lightweight natural-finish foundation for the longest, having only used the Armani Luminous Silk for the past 2 years and the Estee Lauder Double Wear (Original Formula) before that. What I find is that no matter how much I try to thin those out for a more natural look, they always ended up feeling slightly heavy and powdery, which gives it that cakey look. I am in my early 20s and have dry and textured skin, especially during the winter. I get dry patches on my cheeks and a bit oily on my nose sometimes. I've tried everything, using a hydrating primer, moisturizer, setting spray, etc, but it never gave me the finish that I wanted. So during the Sephora Sale this year, I got a few new options to try, including the DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation which I was told was more runny and thin if I wanted the lightweight feel. I compared that against the Lumi Matte a couple of times using a both a sponge and a brush and dare I say, the Lumi Matte ends up being my favourite side both at the start and end of the day. I don't know how to describe it but it is genuinely so lightweight, it feels just like a skin-tint but with a lot more coverage. I bought both the 110 and 112 to mix since I am a light-neutral skin tone and I find that the half and half ratio is perfect. I apply in thin layers using a flat brush and it covered all my acne scars and discoloration. The texture and formula feels really similar to the DIOR Backstage and the coverage and dry down is comparable to that of the Estee Lauder Double Wear. Its mostly matte but still has the inner luminosity and glow that peeks through. If you want a super dewy look, maybe this is not the one for you. But if you want something natural looking and light weight that gives a seamless coverage without emphasizing texture and scarring, then your search ends here. This is it. The cBeauty girls really cooked with this recommendation because this foundation is super popular in Asia. The moment I tried it, I knew the formula was goated, I just needed to mix and find my shade. But hopefully you can find yours without having to mix it. I recommend using a hydrating moisturizer or sunscreen underneath this, and applying it thin layers one section at a time since it sets pretty fast. Anyway, I hope this was helpful!

Goes on well and stays. Looks very natural

I used to have a love-hate relationships with the maybelline foundations that I've tried in the past and it always used to oxidize on me but this certain foundation is different for me. It actually works! It still oxidizes on me but i got the perfect shade for me even after the oxidation. Long lasting. Good coverage and not overly matte. though it's a lumi matte foundation, it still gives off a skin like healthy finish.

I absolutely love this foundation!!! It leaves my makeup looking sooo good!! I had no issues with oxidation. I bought shade 250 and it was a pretty good match. I was definitely able to make it work. The next shade 312 would’ve been slightly darker for me. For reference some of my other foundation shades include: Fenty 295 , Shiseido 340 Oak, Nars Barcelona, Dior stick foundation 3N and Huda 320 tres leches ♥️
