Mac studio sculpt for summer skin#

If you have naturally clear skin and only want a very light foundation that feels like ‘no make-up’, then Face + Body is a very good choice. Now let’s look at the third question: What sort of coverage do you want?

However, perhaps you only become oily after 6 or 7 hours, and perhaps the oiliness is just a little shine, rather than a full melt-away.Īnd if you are at a lifestage say, where you are studying and don’t need a full day fix of make-up that won’t budge, you may be better off going with something lighter, like Studio Fix or Face + Body instead. I am at a lifestage where I can be working long days and I need my complexion to stay oil-free for long periods. I have naturally very oily skin and I need foundation that lasts more than just a few hours.

Therefore, Pro Longwear would really be the right foundation for me. My forehead is close behind after another hour or so. I’m in my 30s but I still have naturally very oily skin in that area. I would describe my nose area as very oily. The question I would ask myself is “How soon does my skin become oily again?”įor me, it’s within about 2 to 3 hours, I have a natural shine on my nose area already by that time. For me, this is when I take a shower in the morning. I think this can be checked by looking at your skin after your regular daily cleansing ritual. So now we need to look at how much natural sebum we have. Then second question is: Just how oily is my skin? If you only need a matte complexion for a few hours per day, perhaps just six or seven hours, like during your time at school or for a part-time job that’s just mornings for example, then I’d recommend buying something less adherent – like Matchmaster or Studio Fix. So I would say only buy Pro Longwear if you have a job where you have to have an oil-free, demi-matte look for 10 hours or more. The less we have on it, surely the better it is for our skin? It allows it to breathe, to be what it really is supposed to be – completely natural.

The reason I suggest a moment to think this through is that if you can have your face free of foundation, for the most amount of time possible each day, I think this is the best you can offer your skin. Let’s look at that first question: What is my life stage? When buying the best MAC foundation for oily skin, I think you have to ask yourself five questions:ġ) What is my life stage – ie, are you a teenager studying or are you in your 20s or 30s and working a full 10 hour day every day, week in, week out?ĥ) Do I have an easy skin colour to match?
