Product Review:
Like most makeup users switching foundations is somewhat
common place depending on the specific look you may be trying to achieve. Also
time of year may dictate which foundation works best based on seasonal
influences. I often fall back to this bottle as it is the only liquid
foundation by MAC that does not cause irritation or worse, breakouts. Having
eleven customized shades it is still a bit darker than my true skin tone but as
we all know it is hard to find that perfect shade in a long lasting quality
product.
I primarily use this in the winter and start to taper off by
mid spring. Using the Bdellium 957 brush for buildable coverage on initial
application works best for me. After setting with a loose translucent powder I
gently stipple with a Beauty Blender to achieve a demi matte look. I have had
no issues with clogging my large pores with this liquid as with other MAC
products that have not only clogged but caused in some cases severe breakouts.
I have been able to find a major ingredient which often appears in products
that cause irritation and breakouts on my skin which is SPF. As previously mentioned,
fortunately, this foundation has caused me neither of those issues.
With some foundations dry skin is exacerbated and made to
look just as bad if not worse. While using Matchmaster this is non-existent in
winter months and as the seasons change does not cause any issues with
additional oils or shine coming through the makeup. As for product control the
pump dispenser evenly distributes and this is a must for me when buying pricier
products and one bottle should last you a reasonable amount of time when
compared to other liquid products. Everyone would benefit from trying and using
this foundation and to be expected it is MAC so it is designed to work in coordination
with other MAC facial products. With that said, the price point is set justly
as it is MAC and it is of a professional quality. Of course MAC has a great
return policy when it comes to products not performing to your expectations. So
set up a consultation or walk into any MAC store or MAC counter in a department
store and see for yourself as all MAC consultants are trained MUAs of sorts.
