MY OPINION
Packaging:
will suit people with NC 25-30 I guess, but works best for NC 30 I would assume. Sometimes I dislike the color range by MAC because the higher the NC, the more 'red' they tend to be.... I wish they would be a little bit on the beige side. The lower NC range tends too be a little bit too 'yellow' sometimes....
Texture:
I really like it's texture, because it feels really smooth on my skin when applying it on my face. I recognized that, even though it seems to be a normal powder, it gets a little cream-like after applying it on your face
Finish:
I must say that the finish was surprisingly good though. It looks really natural, smooth and adapts well to your skin (within seconds) It does not look caky at all- even right after application.
I really disliked the MAC Studio Fix Powder + Foundation, because I was never able to achieve a natural and smooth look. Every time I tried to apply it on my face (with sponge, brushes etc), it looked totally unnatural like a 'mask' and way to caky. The powder was really visible after application and it took usually a few hours till it developed to a natural look. Furthermore it melted somehow off my skin (weird patches), especially during summer....
This product is definitely a really good deal finish-wise, especially if you also disliked the MAC Studio Fix Powder+ Foundation like me.
I would say it's definitely light to medium but not a full-coverage foundation.
Coverage ability is definitely better compared to MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder.
If you have major acne scars etc. it won't be able to conceal it like the MAC full-coverage powders/foundations do.
I would therefore recommend it to people who tend to have clear to medium clear skin
definitely less compared to MAC Studio Fix Powder or MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder, because both of them tend to be on the drier side texture-wise.
This product gives more moisture to your skin and therefore looks also more natural/ not caky
Overall:
- people who want to achieve a very natural look and who want to avoid a 'mask-like' look
- people who are looking for a powder which is not over-drying
- people without major acne scars, troubled skin
DID NOT CAUSE PIMPLES
Most of the times we tend to review LE products, but neglect the regular items especially for base products. So this post is dedicated to reviewing the 3 MAC pressed powders that I currently own.
My personal preference is leaning towards Liquid foundation n pressed powders for setting/touch ups as I don't like the feel of powder foundations on my face EVEN if i use a brush to apply. They still feel powdery on my face.
Select sheer pressed
- For all skin types (But i feel this would suit combination or oily skin pple better)
- helps to control oil
- Sheer to sheer med coverage depending on the type of applcation u use
General comment: It's Ok for me but I don't love it....does control oil on my T-zone for me. But on dryer areas, it can get a bit dryin n powdery. And I always use a powder brush for this. Will not repurchase this again as I very much prefer the MSF natural and studio careblend pressed
Studio careblend pressed
- More geared towards people with normal to dry skin, (not much oil control)
- Delivers a natural finish, not as matte as the Select sheer pressed, but doesn't give a satin finish like the msf natural. I would describe this as in between the 2.
Expiration For Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Dark Deep
General comment:Quite like this powder, it's pretty silky smooth and blends into my skin better than the Select sheer pressed. Would repurchase this again.
Mineralized skinfinish natural
Expiration For Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder Medium Plus
- Sheer to medium coverage
Expiration For Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder Shades
- Gives a natural satin finish (If u swatch this on ur hand, u will notice that there is very slight sheen / shimmer in it)
Expiration For Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder
General comment:Love love love this. It always make my skin look super smooth even on days when i'm not wearing any liquid foundation below this. Although powder may feel a bit coarse when swiped on the hand (as compared to the other 2 pressed powders which feel more silky smooth on my hand), but it does not feel that way on the skin. It gives a very natural subtle glow to the skin n blends in nicely. If u want a natural matte finish though, I would still recommend u the select sheer pressed as the MSF definitely does not give a matte finish. But I love this n would repurchase this again.
