Giveaway - Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye Pack Maybelline Mascaras - Great Lash LOL and One by On. It has SPF15 in it which is a plus, and even though some foundations with SPF give a white cast to the face in photos, I don't find that the case.ĭIY shoe bling and zipper flower tutorial Overall I'm extremely happy it and will re-purchase when it runs out, but I'll probably try to buy it online as I don't want to be paying the Aussie prices for it! ($51AUD). So if you have a sensitive nose, definitely have a sniff before buying it! At first I really liked it, then as my pregnancy hormones played havoc with my sense of smell I couldn't stand the smell, but now I'm fairly neutral to it. It has a somewhat sweet alcoholic smell, kind of like sweet sherry.
MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation on face - Click photo to enlargeĪahh the smell. I don't get any shine at all, except maybe towards the end of the day when the sides of my nose get a bit oily. I always set it with my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder, which helps it last that long. I apply it around 7 am in the morning and my foundation still looks fresh when I'm taking off at night.
I'm happy to say my skin is no longer as dry or flaky as it was a few weeks ago, but even in its driest phase this foundation did not emphasize any flakes.
I apply it with my fingers as I find it blends better that way. I wouldn't say it's a matte coverage, more like a satin one so there's still some sheen.
You only need a little bit to get a really good medium to full coverage. Swatches of MAC Studio Sculpt foundation in NC25 and NW25 I don't mind that at all as I've always mixed my foundations shades, so all good. Except when I tanned instead of going NC30 I somehow turned into NW25.Īnyway long story short, I now have 2 foundation colours! My tan has faded a bit now but not enough to wear NC25 alone, so I just mix the two to get my perfect colour. NC25 no longer looked good on me, but because I liked it already I thought I'll visit MAC again and get the next shade up.
then 3 days later I went to the beach and despite me slapping on sunscreen everywhere I managed to get a tan. Initially I was colour matched to NC25 (as I thought), which I bought. MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC25 (left) and NW25 (right) In the end I decided to go with the MAC one, because even though I love Bourjois somehow their foundation colours never work on me, turning me kind of grey coloured. There were two constants that kept getting mentioned: Bourjois Healthy Mix with Serum and MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation.
I put an SOS out on Twitter to get a foundation recommendation for dry flaky skin. A few weeks ago my skin went a bit psycho on me, it was dry, flaky and my usual foundation ( Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse) just couldn't cope with the personality change! So I did what any social media addict would do.
