Apply long-wear and colour-true MAC makeup foundations for flawless skin. These illuminating face foundations apply easily and blend evenly.
I’ve had my MAC Studio Tech Foundation for a while, but haven’t reviewed it until now. The reason is that I was still trying all sorts of application methods with it. This is my first MAC foundation purchase after I have stopped buying any of their foundations years ago. This is also the first time that I’ve bought a cream foundation from MAC. I have only tried their liquid and powder foundations before. I liked the finish of some of them, but one thing they have in common: they all caused my face to breakout.
It was my favorite makeup artist at MAC who recommended that I try this foundation. She said that it has a nice, matte finish and that it’s really good for oily skin. So I thought, why not? This might be the time that I should give MAC foundations another try. So I ended up buying Studio Tech in shade NC20 which she matched to my neck area.
What MAC says about Studio Tech Foundation:
A tri-system blend of water, emollients and powder glides on as a soft, creamy emulsion. Innovative formula provides a full range of coverage, allowing for true-to-skin shading from very light to very dark in a natural matte, powder-perfect finish. Light-diffusing properties soften lines to create a fresh, flawless finish for all skin types.
MAC STUDIO TECH FOUNDATION
I bought MAC Studio Tech in the shade NC20 which has a yellow undertone. It’s not overly yellow, so it really matches my skin. It didn’t oxidize on me, so it was a good thing that I got the shade which really matched my face color. I didn’t want to have the tester applied on my face, so I just shade-matched it on my neck area and also tried on my arm. It blended out pretty well, so I got convinced. But I forgot how different the skin texture on my arm is, compared to my face which is more oily and has bigger pores.
