Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation, Lightweight and Buildable Full Coverage Foundation Makeup For Up To 30HR Wear, 110, 1 Count

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!

Good

I love this new product! I have extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin and this doesn’t break me out. This foundation is ideal for achieving that glass skin type finish. I LOVE the pump bottle design that feels so much more hygienic than a twist off. It seems medium coverage and stays on all day, even when I wear it to a waterpark.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this makeup foundation! It's truly the best I've ever used, and I wish I could give it more than 200 stars. Every time I apply it, I fall more in love with my makeup and skin. I've already gone through two bottles, and I can confidently say it's worth every penny. I look forward to using it every day - love, love, love! Thank you, Maybelline! I recently purchased the latest Dior foundation for $60, but it was a huge disappointment. I didn't know how to apply it without it looking bad, but in comparison, this foundation gives me a clean, glass-smooth look that looks like my natural skin. I could talk about this product all day!

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!
