If you want high coverage and long-wear, but have dry skin, this would be the one to go for. It has all the original benefits (plus it’s waterproof) but I just prefer the slightly less matte finish.

This is a more forgiving version of the original Pro Longwear.

MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation But be warned, if you have dry skin, this isn’t going to be forgiving.Ĩ. It’s definitely not a ‘no makeup’ look, but if you don’t want to worry about touching up your makeup throughout the day, this is fab. If those three things sound appealing to you, Pro Longwear has got your back. High coverage, matte finish and budge proof.

This used to be my “party” foundation, because it makes your look skin look plastic fantastic in IRL, and in pictures, plus it lasts all day. But if you want flawless skin, you can’t go wrong. It smells a bit like paint, it’s full coverage and there’s nothing natural about it. If you don’t like heavy makeup, you will hate Studio Fix. It’s similar to Face & Body, but with more coverage. I like the fact it took away my redness, without looking like a mask. I would say this gives a light-medium coverage and would be a good one if you hate the feeling of makeup on your face. This is a very thin, serum-like foundation, which is pretty undetectable on the skin. You definitely need to powder this one, but if you like the finish of Face & Body, but want a bit more coverage, I’m sure you will love this. I found this sunk into my skin a lot better than Studio Sculpt. This is a medium coverage foundation that gives a dewy finish. This was my first time trying Mineralize Moisture and I loved it. If you like a light coverage and do your makeup on the go, this is one for you. This gives a similar amount of coverage to Face & Body, just with slightly less glow. It’s a cushion formula, so I used the sponge that comes with it to apply, rather than a brush. So clearly this isn’t a great shade match for me, but I was pleasantly surprised by this foundation.

MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Foundation Most heavy coverage foundations tend to be quite drying, so if you suffer with dry skin and want more coverage, this is a good option.ģ. This is a medium to high coverage foundation, with a dewy finish. This is a gel based formula, which is incredibly hydrating for drier skin types, but on my combination skin, I find it sits on the surface and doesn’t sink in. For some reason, my skin just doesn’t get on with Studio Sculpt. King of the Booth Coverage: Medium to Fullįrom my most favourite, to my least favourite. I like it because it feels like you’re not wearing anything, and just evens everything out, whilst leaving your skin, looking like skin. This is the lightest coverage of all MAC foundations, but it’s buildable. I was first introduced to it when studying makeup in college, and trust me when I say this is a staple in every makeup artist kit. Ngl, I’m slightly bias here because Face & Body is my fave MAC foundation. But I did fill in my brows and apply mascara, to make the whole thing slightly less horrifying. All foundations were applied with the same foundation brush (except one) and I didn’t apply any additional powder or concealer. Oh and let’s lay down some ground rules before we start. I thought (to help you guys out), I would test every single MAC foundation on half my face, so you know just how much, or how little coverage you’re getting, before you buy. One of the biggest factors when it comes to what foundation you want, is the level of coverage and that’s where I come in. There’s nothing like handing over your hard earned cash, only to get home and find you picked completely the wrong shade, or that 3 hours later, your face has turned into an actual oil slick. Let’s be real, foundation shopping is a right ‘mare.
