A recent trip to Nottingham, a spare twenty minutes in the city centre and the excitement of pay-day, resulted in me wandering into the MAC store before my better judgement could direct me otherwise. Unaccompanied and armed with a fresh stocked bank account, it's safe to say I was entering dangerous territory. Fortunately I did manage to reign in my spending to only two purchases; a new foundation and a setting powder. I have been testing these out for the last week and I am here to share my thoughts.
1. MAC Studio Sculpt - NW15 (£25.00)
As someone who is constantly on the hunt for and testing out new foundations; I am always reluctant to invest the price of a high end brand incase it fails to live up to my expectations. However, desperate for a foundation that would improve the appearance of my problematic skin, I decided to invest the pretty price of a MAC base. As someone who prefers a full coverage, but without the flat look of a completely matted out complexion, I was recommended to try out Studio Sculpt.
Studio Sculpt is a gel-based foundation and provides a medium, buildable coverage. It blends seamlessly into my skin to camouflage imperfections and leaves my complexion looking plump and smooth with a natural satin finish. I love the formula of this, it is creamy yet long-wearing and it instantly adds life back into my tired, dehydrated looking skin. It provides a full coverage without leaving my face looking flat, cakey or unnatural.
2. MAC Natural Mineralise Skin Finish - Light (£23.00)
As I was already investing in a new foundation, I thought I might as well pick up a setting powder to go with it. When wearing a heavy foundation, I prefer a powder with a matte finish that is going to set my makeup in place rather than add extra colour or coverage. The natural mineralise skin finish provides a light coverage with a matte finish, perfecting for setting your foundation in place.
This domed powder is encased inside a handy compact and accompanied with its own mirror. It is perfect for touching up throughout the day and it has become a permanent addition to my handbag. It sets my foundation in place, mattes out my oily t-zone and leaves my skin looking naturally shine-free.
To see this dynamic duo in action, then watch my recent High Coverage Foundation Routine. It is perfect for covering up acne, blemishes or for a long-wearing coverage that will last long into the evening.
I hope you enjoyed this mini haul and review; I would love to know what your current favourite foundation is? Leave comments down below or you can message me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
