So, I’m not sure what to make of those results. The other days I wore it were not hot days and I wasn’t doing anything that would make me produce sweat, so my face remained looking matte even without powder. It makes me wonder how this will look on me in the summertime when it’s between 85-98 degrees.Īfter I noticed how it was looking, I powdered my face (I initially skipped that step) and that helped to take away the extra shine. It’s supposed to be sweat and humidity resistant, but I challenge that as well, since I managed to look sweaty on a day that was only 75 degrees Fahrenheit outside (and even colder in the house) when all I was doing was taking blog photos and rearranging my makeup drawers in the span of under two hours. I do like the natural-matte finish of the foundation. Since I plan on wearing this at medium coverage level, it’s good enough of a match for me to keep it in rotation. I figured the hypothetical NC48 shade (if it existed) would be my perfect shade, but apparently NC47 can work for me in winter. The fact that I can wear it at all is quite surprising because I remember a time when I tried a sample of NC47 and it was too light for me, but the next shade NC50 was way too dark. When I wore it the first time, I thought it was a pretty good color match, but upon subsequent usage and building it up to medium-full coverage, I realized it’s about a half a shade off in depth and it’s my correct undertone family but not perfect. So, I keep it at a nice medium and use concealer in the areas I need more coverage.Īdditional photos of me wearing this foundation, under a different lighting situation (using my ring light), is in the highlighter section. I can technically build it up to nearly full, but I have to focus on targeting my areas of discoloration specifically, and at that point it can look a little mask-like since it’s not my absolute perfect shade. MAC describes it as being a, “buildable, medium to full coverage in a natural matte finish.” While I agree with the buildable claim, the amount I would normally pump out and blend in with my Blendiful gives me light coverage, and I have to use quite a bit more product in order to get a solid medium. With “fluid” in the name, I expected this foundation to be watery like the Uoma Beauty Say What Foundation or Kosas Tinted Face Oil, but it’s more viscous than those while still managing to feel lightweight on the skin. I wish the package with the pump came with an extra cap that could fit over the foundation instead of the little dispenser cover piece because I always lose tiny parts to makeup and skincare (like the little spoons to scoop out products in jars). The pump for this foundation is sold separately, and unfortunately was full price.
This was a Black Friday purchase when MAC had 40% off complexion.
