Mac Waterweight foundation

MAC Studio Waterweight Foundation is MAC’s new fluid gel serum foundation that promises a comfortable long wear that offers sheer to medium coverage.

So I thought i would give it a try.

MAC Studio Waterweight Foundation is available in over 24 shades and sports a multitasking formula that provides sun protection in the form of an SPF 30, oil control, and also promises to add hydration with a moisture-fusion complex to skin along with sheer to medium coverage.

The name can be slightly misleading as this really isn’t a water or watery in texture at all but has more of a gel-like creamy consistency.

As I mentioned above this formula isn’t water in nature so I never had issues with the product separating. Granted, a little shake before use is a good idea but isn’t always necessary as this isn’t a bi-phase formula so there are no separation issues.  It contains a nice assortment of antioxidants as well as Vitamin E and sodium hyaluronate which is an excellent ingredient that retains water and moisture.

This strikes the perfect balance between semi-matte and satin. Out of the bottle it’s feels lightly hydrating and blends easily onto skin with a satin finish I like the fact that no matter how much you apply this foundation still provides natural, skin-like coverage. You only need a very little amount to do your entire face as it is pigmented. And unlike other fluid foundations this provides excellent coverage for those seeking a more medium finish to perhaps hide blemishes, redness, or other skin imperfections. You can also easily mix it with primer or moisturizer to make a tinted moisturizer formula of sorts. 

I wouldn’t say the finish is exactly matte but it does set to a satin finish but I didn’t feel like it was very moisturizing aside from the initial application. But my skin never felt dry or dehydrated with the sheer application I applied. I do however, strong advise on using a moisturizing primer if you intend to layer this for medium coverage as it does go a bit cakey so you wanna give yourself a nice soft, smooth, well moistened area to work on for the best possible finish.

I wore it all day for my daughters 1st birthday party and i noticed that it didnt wear off it lasted a really long time.

MAC Studio Waterweight Foundation is worth checking out if you like fluid foundation.
