First of all, the application was really nice and thin. The coverage was also decent for how thinly it's applied. Since it's thin, it feels comfortable on the skin, so it's a good foundation for me who has to wear makeup every day for my practice. The adhesion is also good, so the setting is quite fast. I like this kind of thing, but it might not be recommended for those who don't like fast setting. After applying the foundation, my skin feels completely matte and smooth when I touch it. I like this kind of thing, so it's the foundation of my life for me.
ConsHmm... I'm not sure since it's really not available. I was satisfied, though😁 But it might not quite fit for those who are just going through the motions.

It's a versatile product that seems suitable for combination dehydrated skin all year round. I prefer lightweight formulas, and this one applies thinly and evenly. Using a spatula gives a particularly beautiful skin finish. When I'm feeling lazy, I apply it with my fingers, which also works pretty well.
ConsThey say it contains fine shimmer particles, but they're not very noticeable. If you're expecting a visible glow, you might be disappointed...

While I wouldn't say it's a foundation that applies effortlessly right off the bat, once you've properly applied it, your makeup lasts longer than with other products I've used. It doesn't emphasize pores, making it perfect for someone like me with visible pores and acne scars. There are certainly products out there with better pore-covering abilities, but I use this often because it combines good coverage with longevity. Despite applying thinly, it provides good coverage. When it's on sale, the price becomes really affordable.
ConsSince it's matte and sets quickly, you shouldn't try to spread it all at once. Instead, apply and blend in sections to avoid streaks or patchiness. Mixing it with a BB cream makes application a bit easier. It can emphasize dead skin cells. Having to shake it well before each use is a bit inconvenient.

ConsThe coverage is less than expected, which is disappointing, and it does emphasize pores.

When applied in thin layers, it adheres beautifully! I've tried various application methods, but using a spatula to build up multiple layers and then patting it in with a sponge seemed to work best. When shaken before use, fine pearl particles mix in, giving the skin a natural luminous finish that makes it look healthier. It lasted over 8 hours without touch-ups! I was impressed that it didn't fade much and didn't break down in an unsightly way. The W20 shade seems to be a perfect match for those who typically use 22-23 shades. It appears to be more yellow and darker than the 21 shade I usually use.
ConsBeing semi-matte, it tends to accentuate dead skin cells when your skin isn't in its best condition. It seems you need to prep your skin texture well for it to apply smoothly. I'm not sure about its glow factor. It feels a bit dry for early spring use! It would be great if there was a wider range of shades available.

The lightweight formula applies thinly and smoothly, so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. 2. It leaves your skin feeling as soft as a baby's bottom, eliminating the need for powder. 3. It doesn't break down easily, maintaining a flawless complexion for hours.
Cons1. The short nozzle tends to get product buildup around the opening. 2. I'm not sure if it's because of this product or the recent increase in air pollution, but I've been experiencing some blemishes lately.
TipMake sure to shake well before use, and be careful as it sets quickly.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is quite fluid, like an ampoule, which I loved as it gives a nice thin finish! It adheres to the skin almost instantly after application. I applied it quickly using a brush with a bouncing motion. When you touch your skin, it feels so powdery smooth that you might not even need to use powder! It has a matte finish without any transfer, and thanks to the pearl pigments, it gives your skin a beautiful glow! As for coverage, you can see in the photos that one layer naturally brightens the complexion, while two layers can even conceal acne scars. The staying power is really impressive! I used to use moisturizing foundations but was concerned about oil build-up. With this, I only needed to blot a little midday without reapplying, which was so convenient!
ConsAlthough I have oily skin, some dry areas appeared slightly more pronounced. However, this was easily remedied by thoroughly moisturizing and allowing the skincare to absorb well before application. I'd recommend applying a hydrating base and letting it sink in before using this foundation for best results.
TipFor optimal results, make sure to shake the product well before use. I found the best method was to apply it quickly and dynamically with a brush, then gently pat it with a puff to set.

I was surprised when I quickly patted it on with my hands to check the color match - it absorbed evenly without clumping and provided wide coverage even with a small amount. I love that the thin formula doesn't feel heavy, and I'm pleased with the shade 22 which is similar to my skin tone. It's not as matte as I expected, which prevents the skin from looking dull and creates a beautiful complexion.
ConsIt can emphasize sebum around the nose area. The quick application might be challenging for beginners. The shade range may disappoint those who prefer a brighter complexion. There are too few color options available.
TipAlways layer it thinly and apply quickly!

When first applied, it feels incredibly moisturizing and goes on thin. Once it sets, it becomes beautifully matte. I'd give it 5 stars for texture alone... It applies so thinly, making it feel super lightweight. Pore coverage is decent? Not strikingly good or bad, just right. Staying power isn't bad either. I often use Banila Co. foundation, and while this doesn't have that insane longevity, I like how it fades cleanly over time without caking up in the pores.
ConsThe color was quite disappointing... Everything else was fine, but the shade is too yellow-based and a bit dull. I was hoping for a pretty peach-toned base, but it's too yellow. It looks okay on my hand, but on my face, the yellow tint is too noticeable, which is a shame. It ends up washing out all my other makeup. It might work well for those who use shade 23, but I wouldn't recommend it for 21 and lighter.
TipI'm mixing it with a pink-based foundation. However, blending it does diminish some of this product's strengths. Its main advantages are the excellent texture, good staying power, and decent coverage, but mixing it causes some pilling (of course, it depends on what foundation you mix it with, but given how good the original texture is, it feels like a bit of a downgrade). Still, if you can work with the color, I highly recommend it! Especially for those with oily skin. One more thing - don't overdo your skincare routine before applying. I thought since it's matte, I should hydrate well, but the formula is quite moisturizing before it sets, so it can slide off if your base is too rich. It adheres well even with minimal skincare!

Formula and Features: Maybelline's Lumi Matte Foundation contains pearl pigments, creating a subtle luminous finish despite being a matte foundation. Compared to the Fit Me Foundation, its thinner texture makes it easier to apply in sheer layers. At first, I thought, 'Isn't this just like any other matte foundation?' But the true magic of this product is in the luminous finish that becomes more noticeable as time passes. It's absolutely mesmerizing! As someone who rarely touches up makeup, I prioritize longevity and resistance to breakdown. To my surprise, my skin looked even more beautiful as time went on! I found myself constantly checking the mirror... that's the kind of skin finish it gives. There's minimal patchiness or caking, and I think I'll reach for this even more often than the Fit Me Foundation. Color: The W20 shade is recommended for those who typically use shades from 'Natural 21' to '22'. For reference, I usually use the Fit Me Foundation in shades from 'Natural 22' to '23', so keep that in mind when choosing your shade. If you want long-lasting coverage and a skin finish that gets more beautiful over time, I highly recommend Maybelline's Lumi Matte Foundation!
ConsThe most disappointing aspect was the lack of SPF. However, the product's performance more than makes up for this drawback!
TipApplying it with a spatula in layers not only allows for a sheer application but also increases coverage!
