Super Stay Up to 30HR Lumi Matte Foundation
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Maybelline Super Stay Lumi Matte Foundation is a thin, lightweight formula with medium to buildable coverage that dries to a natural matte with a soft luminous finish. Several creators with dry skin say it works beautifully without emphasizing texture, and professional makeup artist Nikki La Rose notes it's great for oily skin but still suitable for others. It wears reliably for 10+ hours without getting cakey or crepey, though one creator mentions shades run slightly warm.
