Advantages: Blends well, isn't heavy, protects against sun related skin damage Disadvantages: Can get water-y (separates), expensive, middling coverage
neutral - there is a slight moisturiser/chemical smell, but nothing offensive, and not terribly noticeable, especially once it's applied.
It goes on well, and blends easily, as you'd expect a product with the consistency of moisturiser to do. It does not cover as well as a 'proper' foundation, though it does a reasonable job of correcting the dark circles under my eyes (though I do still use a cover stick for those, as the coverage isn't complete).
I don't always (and by 'always' read 'often') remember to moisturise. Many moisturisers come with an SPF factor - the fact that I forget to use mine means that I'm grateful for the SPF15, thus hopefully protecting my skin from aging (though, having said that, since I seldom wear make up, it's a bit of a moot point). My skin is fairly dry (and I'm in my early 40s), and I find that this stuff does ...
Advantages: Lightweight on the skin, flawless effect, leaves skin glowing, only need a tiny amount, moisturise Disadvantages: None
Despite being a fan of my Bare Escentuals mineral makeup, I felt like a switch for my most recent purchase and on browsing in the MAC store I was persuaded to try their newest foundation formula, Studio Sculpt which was released earlier this year after 2 years of development. Studio Sculpt is "a creamy, luxurious, gel-based foundation that provides medium buildable to high coverage with a natural satin finish" and was developed in response to demand from makeup artists at fashion week for a base that really took care of skin while providing quick buildable coverage. Because my skin can be a bit problematic with both oily and the occasional slightly dry patch, I was told that this would be a great foundation for me, as it is oil free and moisturising, as well as providing good coverage.
It is packaged in a slim tube containing 40mls ...
Advantages: blends beautifully, perfect match, lasts agesss Disadvantages: expensive and Mac counters are crap
I use Mac Studio Stick in Nc43. I am so sad because they have discontinued it and have hardly any on the internet so I have to find a new best foundation :(
I first bought this foundation off Ebay, first time I tried it I was in loveeee. I have always ahd acne scars and every time I went to a beauty counter for help on concealers they'd be like, "No way! your scars you can't hide them!! Nothing will cover THAT UP!" like literally yelling it out! Mean old b******!! I know I can cover them and if you don't wanna bloody help me do it, I'll do it myself.
After all those experiences with Clinique, Loreal, Revlon, etc. I thought Id have to try Mac, my last resort. I never wanted to try Mac because even though I had heard its the best, I knew it was expensive and heard it was stage makeup so it broke you out and I head all the SA's were ...
