One fine day, the foundation battle was lost and I headed to MAC beaten and worn to find MY shade. I am currently NC42 in MAC which means I have considerable yellow undertones to my skin tone. I had tried the Studio Select, Satin finish, Match master, blah blah blah before I zeroed in on the MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation.
Today I'm reviewing my most favorite foundation these days. This review has been pending for more than 3 months now, and I don't really know what stopped me from reviewing it for so long, but without any further delay, here's why I love love love the MAC Pro Longwear Foundation. I got the shade NC42 after the MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC45 started to look too orange on me. NC42 is a better match for me currently.
Price: Rs. 2150 for 30mL
Packaging: The MAC Pro Longwear Foundation comes in the standard black and white MAC carton, a favorite of mine for being a classic! The product as such comes in a transparent glass bottle with a black colored, plastic cap-cum-pump. The packaging is simple and classy, and I love it.1
Available in 24 shades.
Ingredients: Mentioned below 🙂
My take on MAC Pro Longwear Foundation NC42: The foundation is a liquid foundation, slightly thick in consistency as compared to other liquid foundations, and is very pigmented. It applies smoothly, and is very easy to blend into the skin. Gives medium to full coverage. The foundation gives a semi-matte finish on it's own. For my oily skin, I generally set the foundation with the MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation of the MAC Select Sheer Loose Powder.
The foundation works well for my oily skin. I do apply a primer, mostly the MAC Matte creme on the face before applying the foundation. Those with combination skin will love it too. Those with normal/ dry skin would need to moisturise the skin well before application.
The foundation stays on for a good 10+ hours on the skin. It does not budge much once applied to the skin. Doesn't melt away from the skin even in humid climate (tested in both Delhi and Mumbai 😛 ) and doesn't oxidise on me. On days when I want luminous finish, I generally mix 2 pumpfuls of foundation with one spray of MAC Fix+ Fluid and then apply it to the face. That way,t he foundation stays on for almost the whole day. I have tested this foundation for upto 13 hours, and can vouch for the staying power. The foundation has not caused any skin reaction or acne break-outs on the skin as yet. The SPF 10 is an added bonus during the days, but for evenings it can be a slight dimmer if you are going to be photographed with flash. The white-cast under flash isn't too apparent, though.
I prefer using the Sigma F80 Flat-top kabuki brush to apply and blend this foundation.
I was matched to the shade NC42, which has a yellow undertone to it 🙂
And here's how this foundation looks on me:
