MAC Face and Body Foundation and MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural

So the dry weather is upon us…for oily girls, scratch that, oily skinned girls, this might be a blessing in disguise but for the ones with dry skin or even normal skin, it can bring on flakiness, patches, redness, roughness and so on and so forth. While we do what we can with moisturizers, facial oils, serums and the like, what many people so not know is that it really makes a difference if the type of makeup you’re wearing is adjusted to the changing weather.  Which brings me to these two products which, for normal/ normal to dry skin, are just amazing. A shout out to those gals who have issues with coverage because if you are looking for high coverage to hide that acne, or scarring or prominent discoloration or if MAC products simple break you out then these (or at least one of these) will not be for you.

MAC foundation in N3, powder in Medium+

Price: Both available for about 150 Dhs mark.

Packaging: The foundation has a nozzle and the bottle is slightly squeezable plastic. There is a little cap that twists over the nozzle. There are 2 sizes but I have the smaller one with your regular fluid ounce. The powder is standard MAC packaging. Only thing is it doesn't have is a mirror or a spongy applicator thing that many powders come with. I like that it clicks with a certainty that it won’t open in your bag.

Product: The foundation is very light weight, runny in consistency and gives a slight dewy finish with a healthy sheen. A special thing I have noticed is that the more you work it in, the better it looks. It does not come off as oily. Skin feels soft and smooth. Not as if there is anything on it. It will not cover imperfections, pimples or acne though it can do a little for slight discoloration. Used with concealer, it can work for girls who have these issues. My shade is N3. I like applying this with my fingers and my RT buffing brush. 

Now sometimes I like to leave this as it is, especially on very dry days, but sometimes it needs a little pat down and for that I go for my MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Natural Medium+. It’s a tad, light but this works to my advantage. It doesn’t mattify the foundation and since it has some coverage, with both combined you can definitely get a solid medium coverage. Its so smooth and finely milled. You can apply with a wet brush and it will give you the most wonderful ‘lit from within’ look. 

Consistency is thin and is runny.

After blending into skin..

Wow...look at the finish after applying powder.
