What the gurus are saying

This foundation earns praise for staying put through a full day without becoming shiny or settling into fine lines, making it a solid pick for oily and mature skin alike. The light to medium coverage hits a sweet spot that lets people build it up for full face coverage or use just a whisper to even out redness on the nose or chin. Gurus report it holds for at least 10 to 12 hours of active wear without needing a touch-up.

"Maybelline makes one of my favorite foundations, [...] the 30 Hour Lumi Matte. This one is great on my skin, it lasts all day, it doesn't settle into wrinkles, and it doesn't look like a heavy mask of makeup. Between the two, I definitely recommend the Lumi Matte over the lifter foundation."

"This foundation is so great. You can put on like just the tiniest bit of it and really put a really thin coating on just to even out the redness say on your nose or your chin or you can do a full face of it. Either way, it looks great. It is a beautiful looking foundation. And the thing is that when they say it's like 30 hour foundation, I don't know if it is because I haven't slept in it, but it is a minimum 10 to 12 hour foundation."

"My favorite foundation from this year is from the drugstore. It's Maybelline SuperStay Lumi Matte Foundation. This is more of a traditional foundation. I'd say that it is a medium coverage foundation. You can apply it sheer, you can also build it up. It's a very lightweight formula, very fluid, applies really easily, but it's got enough pigment that it's going to go on and really cover up the things that you want to cover up, but without looking like a heavy mask of makeup."

"The staying power on this is all day and it looked just applied late in the day so I think this is my favorite drugstore foundation right now. But for dry skin people I probably would be less likely to recommend the Maybelline just because it does have SD alcohol high up on the ingredients list. But if that doesn't bother you you could go ahead and give it a try. I don't think it's going to dry out your skin. I didn't feel like it made my skin feel drier or made my skin look drier."

"Maybelline SuperStay Lumi Matte 30 hour Foundation is my new favorite holy grail foundation. [...] I reviewed it a couple of weeks ago and have [...] been wearing it every day and love how it feels on my skin. I have to say it is the closest dupe to the Dior Forever Matte I have ever come across. [...] The best thing about it is the staying power. It lasted through a full 10 hour day and looked just applied."

"The foundation I'm wearing today is Maybelline Lumi Matte Superstay. I've been using this for over a year now and I love this. It [...] really lasts, no foundation ever lasts all day on my nose, but this does. It's a lumi matte, so it's not super luminous, but it's not super matte either, it's just right. It's fairly medium to full coverage, so it gives a lot of coverage, but is beautiful on the skin. It smooths the texture of my skin and [...] makes my face look smoother and so much nicer."

"Two from the drugstore that I also love are the Maybelline SuperStay 30 Hour Foundation, this one is truly long wearing, if you need to get ten or fifteen hours out of your foundation this one will give it to you flawlessly. It's full coverage but you can put it on a little bit sheer and it looks beautiful on the skin, it doesn't accentuate wrinkles, and it has an easy to match shade range."

"There's like zero wear on my nose, zero wear on my chin, zero wear between my eyebrows where I usually get wearing off. It has that nice luminosity that makes your skin look better than it is, less wrinkly, less old, less dry, but it's not a super oily, greasy looking luminosity. It's a very soft luminosity. I don't think I've had a foundation that wears this perfectly for this long since I initially tried the Dior Forever Matte, which is my holy grail foundation."

"I really like the Maybelline Super Stay. It's called Super Stay. If you're using a lightweight product, make sure that it is a long lasting product. [...] For a reason, because it stays. Gives me the coverage I want. But it's super lightweight. I don't feel suffocated in the heat. It goes a long way."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
