The Maybelline Super Stay Lumi Matte Foundation is crafted for daily wear and special occasions where durability is key. Its "lumi matte" designation means you'll achieve a modern matte finish that absorbs excess oil, coupled with a healthy, subtle luminosity that prevents the skin from looking dull. This balance is particularly beneficial for those with combination to oily skin types who still desire a natural radiance.
Application Tips:
Prepare Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. A primer can enhance longevity and smoothness, especially in areas prone to oiliness or dryness.
Dispense: Shake the bottle well. Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand.
Apply: Use a damp beauty sponge, foundation brush, or clean fingertips to apply the foundation. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards.
Build Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, apply a second thin layer by gently tapping the product into the skin.
Set (Optional): If you prefer an even more matte look or have very oily skin, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over your T-zone.
Real-world application shows it performs well in various conditions, maintaining its finish through typical workday activities. The lumi aspect ensures skin doesn't appear flat in photographs, while the matte keeps shine at bay.
First-Time Use & Shade Matching:
Before your first full application, it is highly recommended to swatch the foundation on your jawline in natural light to ensure the shade seamlessly blends with your neck and face. Allow it to sit for a few minutes as some foundations can oxidize slightly.
Compatibility:
This foundation is generally compatible with most primers, concealers, and setting powders. For best results, consider pairing it with products designed for long-wear or matte finishes. It is suitable for most skin types, particularly combination to oily skin due to its matte properties, but can also work for normal skin desiring a balanced finish.
Product Care & Storage:
Shake Well: Always shake the bottle thoroughly before each use to ensure the formula is evenly mixed.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and efficacy. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the applicator or bottle opening directly with your fingers. Close the cap tightly after each use.
