So here it comes, and you're probably all going to hate my opinion on this one... but I am really not a fan of the Mac Studio Sculpt foundation at all. I so badly wanted to love it, as so many of you rely on it for everyday use, and I really hoped it could become a staple product in my make up bag (and for £25.00 a tube so did my bank account!) you can find the product here.
This is the Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation with SPF 15 in the shade NC15.
As the foundation is gel based I found it extremely hard to work with, often making me look far too shiny and it left my complexion looking fake - however did an extremely good job of accentuating all my bad bits! I have a feeling that nearing the end of the bottle may become a problem as I feel the packaging is badly shaped, and for £25 I personally want something I can easily use every last drop of. I also do not feel as though the coverage is buildable, you can either go for full coverage or full coverage x2. I think part of the reason I am not a massive fan of this foundation is due to the fact that it seems to take forever to blend into the face with it being a gel based product, and often I just don't have the time on a morning to sit and faff around! I want something easy, quick and liquid based that spreads fast and moisturises my skin at the same time. I felt as though this foundation was drying out the skin and constantly found myself applying moisturisers the second I took off the product.
I am so sorry to say that I am not a fan of the Mac Studio Sculpt, the coverage is too full, the packaging and price tag are not appealing, and the way it leaves my skin feeling just makes it a complete no no. However, this is the first foundation that I have ever found that has such a vast range of lighter colours, and I did actually pick up the perfect match for me which is usually a very hard task (as I'm so pale!). The foundation also has an SPF 15, which is always a good thing to have in a product. I really hoped that I would learn to love this product, as until now Mac had never let me down. I am disappointed but it will definitely not stop me trying out some more of their foundations. Hopefully i'll find the perfect one!
I hope you enjoyed reading my post - maybe you could leave me a comment telling me which Mac foundations you recommend I try out! Also, if you have a completely different opinion on the Studio Sculpt foundation definitetly feel free to let me know.
See you next time, Rosie
