Maybelline Super Stay Lumi Matte Foundation - 350

A 'Lumi Matte' finish combines the best of both worlds: it provides oil and shine control typical of a matte foundation, but also incorporates a subtle, healthy radiance, preventing your skin from looking flat or dull. It's a balanced, natural-looking matte.

Start with a small amount, typically one or two pumps. This foundation is designed for buildable coverage, so it's always best to apply thin layers and add more product only where needed, rather than starting with too much.

While Shade 350 refers to the color, the 'Lumi Matte' formula is generally well-suited for normal to oily and combination skin types due to its oil-controlling and long-wearing properties. Those with very dry skin might benefit from extra hydration and primer underneath.

The 'Super Stay' formula is developed for extended wear, providing coverage and shine control for many hours. Individual wear time can vary based on skin type, activity level, and whether a primer or setting spray is used.

Yes, you can use your preferred tool. A foundation brush typically provides fuller coverage, a damp beauty sponge gives a more natural and blended finish, and clean fingertips can also be used to warm the product for seamless blending.

The product description for this specific foundation does not indicate the presence of SPF. For adequate sun protection, we recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen as part of your skincare routine before foundation application.

Store the foundation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out or being exposed to air.

Ensure your skin is thoroughly moisturized and a primer is used. Apply the foundation in thin, even layers, blending meticulously with a suitable applicator (brush or damp sponge) for a smooth finish.

Use a hydrating primer underneath. Try applying less product, focusing on areas needing matte control. A luminous setting spray applied after foundation can also enhance radiance.

Start with clean, prepped skin. Apply a dedicated face primer before foundation and finish with a setting spray. Minimize touching your face, which can transfer product away.

Reduce the amount of product used. Build coverage gradually with thin layers. Using a damp beauty sponge can help sheer out the application for a lighter feel and more natural look.

Lighting can greatly affect shade perception. Try checking your match in natural daylight. For subtle adjustments, you can mix it with a lighter or darker foundation, or use concealer strategically.
