MAC Future Face
According to MAC:
M∙A∙C forges ahead with a three-in-one force: Powder, Foundation and Tinted Moisturiser all together. A broad, all-inclusive shade range means M∙A∙C Artists can cover everybody, one beautiful conquest at a time. Call your clients most in need of convincing, and watch what happens!
Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation
As you know this has been around a long time and according to MAC this is the best selling foundation. I can see why. I haven’t reviewed this for some reason – so i will here. This foundation gives you medium to full coverage, leaving a demi-matte finish behind. SPF15 protects from sun damage but check with flash photography for any rebound (white cast).
MAC are really missing out on a trick here. A few months ago MAC pushed Face and Body as a HD foundation. It isn’t. A true HD foundation does two things. Covers and is invisible to the HD camera. Face and body is a) to shiny for HD and b) does not prodivdid the coverage needed. Studio Fix provides great coverage and best yet i’ve seen this on skin through a HD camera is you cannot see it. Do not expect airbrushed results, but expect great coverage with very little detectability. So MAC, heads up – this needs a remarking staggery. But don’t think that means a price increase ok!
Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation retails at £19.50 – this comes without a pump, and one is preferred.
Rating 9/10 best for normal/oily/combination skin looking for medium/full coverage without a heavy looking. Best applied with a stippling brush for good coverage and undetectable results.
Studio Careblend/Pressed Powder
A a new addition to the MAC family of powders. “Formulated to provide a smooth, virtually invisible, fresh looking finish, this soft cream-like powder is carefully blended to provide the skin with extra care, nourishment and comfort”.
While this is a good pressed powder for normal to oily skin and those looking for a more “matte” powder this doesn’t impress me the same way that MAC Mineralize Skin Finish does. That powder (IMO) is the best thing MAC have come out with in a long, long time. This is a good setting powder and you could do a lot worse, but drier skinned people will not appreciate this as it is pretty matte.
Studio Careblend/pressed powder retails at £17.50 for 10g.
Rating 7/10 good for normal/oily skins and those seeking a more “matte” finish.
