Now MAC on the website claims this to be
- Long-wearing
- Provides instant and long-term hydration
- Immediately blurs lines and wrinkles
- Provides instant radiance
- Provides stay-true colour
- Offers broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15
- Dermatologist tested
- For all skin types, including sensitive skin
But did it hold up to its claims?
Firstly the packaging while very expensive looking has a major flaw for me, the product is held in a glass bottle. For most people this wouldn't be an issue but for someone as clumsy as myself it adds an air of anxiety to me every time I pick it up. The pump however is amazing and gives just the right amount of product in one pump for a light coverage and enough in 2 for a light-medium coverage.
This foundation comes in 18 shades so there is a great deal of choice for everyone and it works very well on my combination skin, I must say though I think in the summer months this will not be great just due to the instant 'radiance' that it does seem to give with it not being a matte foundation and I can also guess that in the summer the added hydration factor will also lead to a lot of oil but at this point I am just guessing.
It does seem to be long wearing though, I can wear it for a full 8/10 hour day and still have product on my face by the end, it also doesn't seem to break me out which is an added bonus.
Now the price point of £29 is not cheap by any means especially for 30ml's but I must say I do like this and in the winter months where my skin was dry and dull looking it did help moisturise through the day whilst giving me a more healthy glow.
The formulation seems to be very good, it seems to blend very well onto my face with a beauty blender and doesn't seem to settle into lines, as well as it being a good colour match. It does darken slightly as it drys on the skin but not enough to even say it changes a shade, unlike many drugstore foundations I have used.
I would/will repurchase this when it runs out but I think for the summer I will need to hunt for something with more oil control.
