MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation Review

Having used Mac cosmetics since the '80's when you could only get it from The Bay at Yonge & Queen in Toronto, I can highly recommend this product. It's a lightweight foundation (used to be called 'Select Tint') that can be layered for more coverage. The product range is based on you underlying skin tone, either Cool or Warm and available in a number of shades from very fair to dark. It is on the pricey side of foundations, but I have had no problems using it (I have had problems with some foundations in the past causing breakouts). I like the fact that that it is lightweight, so it doesn't feel like I've caked-on the foundation and it doesn't look that way either. I've found that as I get older, lighter weight foundations suit maturing skin better as it doesn't sit in the 'wrinkles'. The only downside is that it is still only available with a 15 SPF.

I bought this foundation cause it was one of the foundation mac offered that's targeted for dry skin. It's good for light coverage days when you don't want a heavy coverage. I reckon it does transfer a little bit even though it says it doesn't and you do need to set this with powder or it can look a little oily. Overall, it's okay, not great, i wish i bought the smaller bottle instead of the 120ml cause I'm starting to like other foundations and i don't think ill finish the big bottle.

This foundation is great. It's a light to buildable coverage that responds really well to movement and working into the skin. It's a very watery foundation but as you work it into the skin, it becomes tacky and then the more you rub it, the more coverage it provides. This foundation sits really well on the skin, looking natural, soft but still adding coverage. It has a dewy finish which I love and comes with tonnes of product for the price!

This is the first foundation I've purchased and I love how natural it looks. I bought this foundation because I was looking for something natural-looking and lightweight and it ticked all the boxes. I have combination skin (oily t-zone, dry cheeks) and I love that it doesn't cling to my dry skin and emphasise those dry spots. In my opinion, I think it looks best applied with your fingers, and you really need to rub it in well otherwise it feels a bit wet and as if it might transfer easily. To apply, put a small amount on the back of your hand and let it warm up, then apply to your face with your fingers!

I have been using Mac Face and Body for nearly over a year now. I decided to try it out after watching a pixiwoo video on youtube and it looked like such a nice finish.

The formula is quite runny and it gives you a light to medium coverage depending how much you apply. I usually use my RT expert face brush to blend it in or my fingers. It has such a nice dewy finish and is so lightweight its perfect for everyday wear. The formula allows your skin to show through underneath so its perfect for a natural finish.

I have the standard 50ml bottle and having it for nearly year now i think I'm about 3/4 of the way through. (keep in mind i don't wear makeup everyday), My friend has the 150ml bottle and its massive, i think its worth it for an investment because it will last ages. The packaging is different to a standard foundation, but i think the way its designed you squeeze the bottle and can control how much foundation to come out. I find this foundation is perfect to wear to work, its not super heavy and i think its work appropriate.

When i first tried this foundation i fell in love and I'm still in a deep romantic relationship with it. ;)

This foundation is such a dream for me! It acts like I think a BB cream should in providing your skin with a much more even appearance while allowing your skin/freckles etc to show through, the difference being that this foundation matches me perfectly and isn't too drying on my skin.

The formula isn't as thin as I originally thought it would be, it's more of a gel like texture when it comes out of the bottle. It's ridiculously easy to blend in and once applied it leaves a slight dewy finish, which my dry skin loves. I wear it daily to take work and it stays looking good the entire day, about 10hrs between when I put it on and take it off. It's also the lightest feeling foundation I've tried, by far, you really can't feel it on your skin!

I picked up the 50ml in C1 for $60 from my local MAC counter. When you think about the fact a standard foundation is only 30ml, it's essentially the same price as many 'drugstore' foundations. I love this foundation and regret taking so long to try it!

A really great light coverage foundation, suitable for everyday. A thin liquid formulation that helps even out skin tone and give a silky finish without being obvious. Goes on dewy but dries to give a flawless finish. Does have a slightly odd scent to it, especially as the skin warms it up though.

I started using this in November 2012, as my first proper foundation. I've been super happy with it, it gives a light coverage that dries still looking dewy - my face never feels stiff, or like I'm wearing face paint. I apply it with a normal foundation brush, but you can use your fingers in a rush if you need to. The coverage is buildable, so you can get more coverage if you want.
