| Review: |
This creamy liquid foundation with an in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen doesn’t offer the user any greater sculpting abilities than any other foundation. Besides, it isn’t foundation that plays a large role in sculpting the face via makeup; that type of detailing is done with contouring, blush, and eyeshadow placement (plus proper blending). Aside from the name, as a foundation with sunscreen, this is a workable option for those with normal to slightly dry or oily skin. It dispenses somewhat thick at first, but softens as it warms to skin temperature. Application is smooth and even, and this provides no less than medium coverage (you can get nearly full coverage if needed). It finishes satin matte with a powdery feel, and does a reasonable job of keeping shine in check.
Another attribute of this foundation is its long-wearing, tenacious nature.
It holds up really well if you perspire (those in humid climates, take note) and requires more than a water-soluble cleanser when you’re ready to remove it. As usual, M.A.C’s shade range is extensive and mostly impeccable; there are equally good options for fair to dark skin tones. The shades to avoid due to overtones of orange, peach, or copper are NC45, NW30, NW35, and NW45. The NC35 shade is slightly peach but workable for medium skin tones. Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation deserves a Paula’s Pick for its sunscreen, long-wearing nature, and blending ease. The formula also contains some antioxidants, but it isn’t packaged so they’ll remain stable during use unless you keep the translucent tube away from light. |
