MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation Review

This is such a good foundation and the shades are very flattering. I used these when training as a makeup artist and found the colours easy to mix. There is a white one available so if you buy your summer shade you can customise your winter shade by adding white. The coverage is not full, its a soft dewy finish that suits all skin types especially dry. Its a very natural looking makeup. The only thing I don't like is the price. Mac prices in NZ are ridiculous.

This is my go to foundation when I can't be bothered putting a full face of makeup on but also not wanting to scare little children on my journey through town.

The consistency is quite light and fairly runny. It gives a light/medium coverage if you build it up but it is perfect for the days where you don't want people to stop and ask you of you're ok because you look sick.

For me the best way to describe it is your skin but better. It gives a really nice coverage that still allows your skin to show. So it's definitely a natural looking foundation. You can bulid the coverage up if you wanted to. I find that using a bb cream like the lioele one first, will help you achieve medium coverage if that's what you're after.

It does set fairly quickly so I have to do one area of my face at a time otherwise it's near impossible to buff in onto your skin to avoid the foundation blotches.

I'm not 100% sure if this is the case with all these foundations or if it's just mine but mine leaks quite abit which is really frustrating. Everytime I take the lid off the foundation is already leaking out, even if I wipe the excess foundation off more of it keeps leaking through the tip. I've lost quite a bit of foundation because of it so I rarely ever take it with me in my makeup bag unless I can guarantee it can sit up right. I'm not even sure if it makes a difference bit it definitely can't make it worse.

Other than that slight problem I really really like this foundation. My skin has not settled down since using the garnier micellar water so I rarely ever wear makeup now. But if I do need a quick fix then this is my go to foundation. It covers the redness of my skin, and makes my skin look a lot healthier than what it actually is.

This foundation is perfect for everyday wear. Very light weight and gives you a light coverage thats buildable. Great for the natural makeup looks as it allows your freckles/beauty spots etc to show through whilst evens out your skin tone. Great for normal to dry skin types as it provides a semi dewy finish.

I recently purchased this as my summer coverage where not to much is needed.

While it is a small bottle you don’t need a lot of product as it is quite a runny product and smooths over the skin. With a dewy finish it is quite slick but I use a small amount of powder over top just to bring the oil shine down and looks amazing.

Is a perfect coverage for when not to much is needed and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. It’s an excellent product for those of us with dry skin as it does have a nice moisturing feel and doesn’t dry your skin out more.

If I need a heavy coverage I will pair this with my Bobbi brown skin glow foundation for the perfect night look.

I'm not huge into foundation these days as it tends to look cakey on my skin, but this foundation was smooth and easy!

Have had problems in the past with MAC foundations being too thick, or pink, or yellow but just discovered MAC FNB! It is definitely a very very light foundation, coverage-wise, but looks really natural. I would say it's like a tinted moisturiser but not necessarily moisturising. It won't cover heavy acne or redness, so that's something to note.

I have just recently started using MAC face and body foundation and I have to say I really like using it. What's great about it is you can build it up for a fuller coverage or just wear one layer for a natural enhancer. Quite enough in the bottle to last a while. This is perfect for everyday wear.

I love how this has no sunscreen so great in pictures. I wear this along or over tinted moisturiser and it gives a really natural even look. I apply this foundation with my hands as it doesn't go on well with a brush, since its water based it needs the warmth from your fingers to blend it in. its very different to other foundations i've used but it has a good staying power and looks great.

I bought mac face and body knowing that it provided very sheer coverage and also being told that it's what many mua use on models. With the sheer coverage this makes sense as it really doesn't cover blemishes at all however it adds an unexplainable glow to the skin which works incredibly well for youthful skin and skin that doesn't require a heavy coverage foundation. I don't find this foundation to be build able as it is such a watery consistency. The product requires shaking before each use which is a tad annoying as the inside of the lid then begins to get quite messy however the packaging is very good apart from that. The plastic bottle makes it very easy to control the amount of product coming out meaning less product is wasted. I find applying this foundation with your hands is th best method as it makes it easy to work it in so it doesn't appear to be sitting on top of your face. This foundation leaves a very dewy finish which can be powdered down but the dewiness will reappear mid way through the day so if you are a fan of the matte look this foundation may not be for you unless you want to be constantly powdering,
