New Year Resolution

Hi everyone,


I know I've been rather absent and inconsistent in 2011 - my resolution for 2012 is to keep this blog updated with new products that I try & love or hate! So tonight I want to do a quick review slash rave for MAC Cosmetics Studio Sculpt SPF15 Foundation. I have been a very loyal user of Make Up For Ever's HD Foundation for about two years now but wanted to try another foundation with a different look and features. It is available from MAC's website (linked below) for $29.50.

MAC Studio Sculpt

Studio Sculpt is a gel-based foundation with medium+ coverage (I got about a medium coverage myself). MAC's website describes it as water-resistant and hydrating. I applied this foundation with a typical flat foundation brush and definitely had to spend a bit of time buffing it in, but the result was worth it. This foundation gives a very natural, dewey finish which I find great for my not-dry, not-oily skin. It really complements it! I did set it with MUFE HD finishing powder but would consider another MAC powder foundation to layer as well. I love the idea of this foundation because it's hydrating and good for the skin, plus I love anything I can wear all day.

I will keep this brief, but I'd recommend this as a foundation for normal to dry skins (may not be the best for oily type skin) for anyone looking for decent coverage without looking cakey or dry.

Below is a photo I snapped of me with the Studio Sculpt. I find it looks really natural.

Hope this makes you think about branching out!
