I go through phases with foundation as I do with most of my makeup where I use some stuff all the time and then switch when I find something new.
Read why you CAN’T use MAC as a foundation guide I also sometimes need to mix in a deeper foundation or use a deeper shade in the summer depending on how dark I get.
***Make sure you check out Dark MAC Foundation Swatches and Why MAC Isn’t a Foundation Guide*** SOMETIMES I can wear a foundation that leans a little bit away from being neutral, but it depends on the formula-as you can see from the swatches some of these look different, but they all wind up matching me.
Most of these I’ve already reviewed on the blog, so if you want more info click on the pink hyperlinks :)įor reference, my skin is dark brown with neutral undertones which sometimes works out to be an NW45/47 in MAC foundations which I don’t wear really but that’s the standard in internet beauty speak. I am wearing Matchmaster Foundation HERE.But anyway, I was looking at my stash the other day (just realized I forgot to include my Tom Ford Traceless Stick Foundation, but I don’t put it into rotation much because TOM FORD himself autographed it for me) and figured it’d make for a nice post to share my indulgence in hopes of it helping someone looking for foundation for dark skin with the same coloring as me OR perhaps there are other foundation junkies like me of all shades and this post finds them solace. You have to work pretty fast with it as it dries quickly.I definitely moisturize my skin before using it. This foundation is neither moisturizing nor drying.It comes in a pump glass bottle, which is excellent.Although I’d say not great for travel.The days are getting hotter now and I have worn it many times all day long but it stays put. But it really does not move, nor does it settle in the fine lines, nor does it look cakey and neither does it make my face shiny. It stays on all day long but those will oily skin might have to touch up their face during the day.It does not oxidize on me but I always wear a primer underneath.Just not a fan of a super matte finishes. I personally like dewy finish foundations but I am okay with this kind of finish as well. The color I have is neither too yellow nor too pink. I love the colors available in the range.You can build it up to a very good coverage and it is able to cover a lot of blemishes. The coverage I’d say is medium to buildable.Those with oily skin types should definitely give this a shot.
It is a water based foundation so would work on all skin types.It does adapt to your skin a bit and evens out your skin nicely. It gives invisible coverage to the skin and that makes it great for day time use as well. It is an excellent natural looking foundation.Likes and Dislikes about MAC Matchmaster foundation:
