Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation, Lightweight and Buildable Full Coverage Foundation Makeup For Up To 30HR Wear, 125, 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!

Great texture, silky, easy application, great coverage, doesn’t sit in the wrinkles and excellent staying power— still looked good at 5 pm after 8 am application.

I've tried numerous foundations and this one is great. Gives the right amount of coverage without looking cakey. I've been a fan of this brand and other products and this one is the best so far. I'm in my 40's and my skin is obviously not the same as when I was in my 20's. With the right skin-prep this foundation laid beautifully on my skin and lasted hours. This is amazing for the price!! Try it...you won't regret it.

Excellent foundation makes my skin feel soft and moisturized not sticky. No smell. It is Easy to apply with makeup brush. I like it so much I purchased 2. Does not come off on clothes last all day.

I have combination skin and this wears so nicely for me. I like to put a pump in my palm, work it into a flat top brush, then apply it to my face with a stippling motion. It gives a very natural looking finish, and covers really well - I would say it has buildable medium to full coverage. The finish is soft matte (more matte than Lumi for sure) and I only need to lightly set my t-zone for lasting wear. I do find this to oxidize through the day, but adjusted my application method to use less product and it has helped. My main gripe is that it really does oxidize, not just dry down a slightly deeper shade. I wear shade 118 and my shade matches are MAC NC15/20, EL DW Sand, L’Oreal Freshwear 420, UD Stay Naked 30CG, and NARS sheer glow in Deauville or Ceylon.
