MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation


I was so excited when I purchased this foundation. I had seen other reviews and had to have it. All the reviews I read said this was a great foundation. I'm sure it is...if you have the right skin type.


I have combination skin. It's dry in some areas, others its oily. I break out in the same oily places but not too often. It's a mess, ha.


This is a gel based foundation. That is what most grabbed my attention. It is silky smooth to the touch. I never found it to be heavy looking or feeling.


I've been wearing this for the last 3 weeks. Since then, I have broken out where I never usually do. Very sporadic breakouts. Not just itty bitty bumps, I had some pretty good sized zits appear (or so I thought). Bummer!


I love the look of it when it's on as well as the feel. I personally didn't think it was heavy. They told me a little goes a long way. But I didn't think so. I had to use about a pea size on each cheek area, a pea size on my forehead, and a pea size on my chin. Most of the time, I had to add a bit more to make sure I liked the coverage. I used my hand to apply. Usually I use a kabuki brush. It lasts all day and I love the dewy look it gives. But I can't stand the breakouts! I don't think the gel base agrees with my skin. Very unfortunate. Once this tube is gone, I will not be repurchasing.


I once again prove to myself that.... MAC foundation is not for me.

Have you tried MAC foundations? Do you love them or hate them?
