First of all can I say I really do like this foundation and is probably one of my favourite foundations except for the fact that this can cause break outs on my sensitive skin.
My general routine in applying my foundation is followed by:
- Apply my Lancome Hydra Zen Neurocalm moisturizer on less dry areas
- Apply my The Face Shop Aloe Fresh Gel Cream to drier areas
- Apply MAC Prep+Primer Skin Brightening Serum
- With a foundation brush, apply MAC Studio Fix Foundation in NC30
- Set the foundation with MAC Prep+Prime transparent finishing pressed powder
- Contour with Benefit Hoola Bronzer (with supplied brush)
- With dense blush brush apply Rimmel London Blush
- Price: $49AUD for 30ml
- Packaging: 6/10
- Overall: 8/10
- Medium coverage
- Easy to blend
- Lasts for a longgg time!
- Does not accentuate dry skin or skin flakiness (that much: again if you have very dry skin like me during cooler seasons, moisturize moisturize moisturize!). It goes on pretty well during warmer seasons too, that's when my skin can get oilier on some days so there's more need to blot powder my face.
- Photographs really well under no flash
- Oiliness does not kick in until hours later
- Does not look cakey!
- Can clog pores for those with sensitive skin such as me
- Causes white cask under flash photography
- NC30 can look a bit ashy on some skin tones
- I really like this foundation because the finish looks natural and the medium coverage. My skin does not have acne/scarring but some redness and clogged pores. It serves well to my redness and evens out my skin tone but as for clogged pores... I needed to maintain more of a skin cleansing routing.
- Would I recommend this? Yes!
