♡ Product Review: MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation ♡


Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been posting lately!
Today's review is obviously over a foundation; I purchased this product because of Zoe Sugg (Zoella) from youtube! I'd never heard of this certain foundation before I watched one of Zoe's makeup haul videos, but she always has amazing looking skin and she loves this foundation, so I decided to give this a go!

Packaging:
The way the packaging looks really attracted me to this because I've never seen a foundation in this sort of "bottle" before. Usually, they'll come in a pump bottle or a bottle where you pour the product out, but this comes in a rubbery tube. While I prefer a pump, I also really like the tube! And since it's so slim, it doesn't take up too much room in your cosmetics bag/drawer. But since it's so tiny (about an inch across, about 4 1/2 inches tall), I'm always paranoid about how much of it I use at once because I don't want it to run out! But..

Texture:
It almost has a gel-like consistency, so you don't need a lot of this on a daily basis because it's on the thicker side of textures! I've always preferred watery/runny liquid foundations and at first, I didn't particularly like this product. With runnier foundations, you can get away with using more of it, and I used as much of this foundation like how I would with a watery foundation. Big mistake! I hated how pancake-y this sat on my face, but after finally adjusting the amount I put on, I did a 180 and instantly loved it.

Application:
This product is SUPER easy to apply. I would normally use my fingers/hands to put on my foundation, but since this consistency/texture is a little heavier and thicker, I use a stippling brush to apply it. After setting it with powder, this foundation makes my skin look even and just about flawless!

My Shade:

Thankyou so much for reading this! If you'd like me to do a step-by-step tutorial on exactly how I apply  this, please let me know! Comment for any types of posts/reviews you'd like me to do. :)


UPDATE (2.23.13):
I've recently noticed that since I've been using this foundation, my skin's been breaking out like crazy. I'm not exactly sure if this product is the reason for it, but I'll be trying out a different foundation soon to see if this one is at fault. But other than that, I still love foundation's consistency/staying power!

XO, Blue
