Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation, Lightweight and Buildable Full Coverage Foundation Makeup For Up To 30HR Wear, 332, 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!

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.

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 was very disappointed with this much anticipated Maybelline product since their products are one of my favourites. The product came open, the seal not intact. Because I'm based in Trinidad, it does not make sense for me to return. I was even more disappointed when I swatched the product and it's definitely worth buying, it's great and has a lovely finish, sadly I can't use it since it was not sealed. Not sure if will be reimbursed or replaced.

Good

By far the best foundation - beats out the high end products. Will last all day with zero touch ups. It goes on more semi matte - not dewy at all. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

Honestly, this is such a great foundation. It’s become a total staple in my collection and has officially replaced my previous high-end go-tos. The shade match is spot on, and the formula is beautiful. It's smooth, blendable, and super easy to apply with either a brush or sponge. It layers well with my skincare and mix-ins like facial oil or bronzing drops, and both cream and powder products sit perfectly on top. I have normal-to-oily skin, and it really holds up throughout the day without breaking apart or settling. I’ve worn it for 12–14 hour workdays and it still looks great with minimal touch-ups. As someone who’s mostly worn high-end foundations for years, I’m genuinely impressed with this one and would highly recommend it.
