And finally… The Foundation

 

   So I know I did a post about the base but it is now time for bum bumbum buuummmm….the actual foundation. Now as the trend seems to be for me…I wear a M.A.C. foundation.

   Matchmaster!

   It was safe to say, that when I was fitted for this color of foundation that I was surprised, to say the least, to be matched with a 7.0. Now this line does not use the regular NC/NW classifications for base colors. Which is just fine…I’m just saying. However it is supposed to match with NW40, NW43, and NC45.

    Anyway, back to the 7.0, the color in the bottle looks super light for me, but it does oxidize and darkens to fit perfectly. It’s very much medium coverage. You could build, however with its oxidation I don’t advise it.

    It has a very matte finish so moisture is KEY! (I’m pretty sure I stated that in the other post.) After a few minutes it settles into a smooth healthy looking finish and if sprayed with Fix+ or whatever sprits you use, it will give off a near dewy look.

    My most favorite part of this foundation is the fact that I get NO GREY CAST. That is a problem I (and many women of color) tend to have. And with this…oh man.

    Now it took me a while to hop on this train, I admit. It was the promise of a matte finish that threw me. I have combination/oily skin, and I was a-scared that I would end up with dry, caked, flaky patches…and that’s not cute. Buuut with properly cared for skin and a loving primer it is the bee’s knees!!

 

M.A.C.’s Matchmaster Foundation retails at $34++ and P.S. has an SPF of 15. Sun Protection my friend!

I know it’s a bit on the pricy side (another reservation I had about it…dumping all of that money on something that I would hate) buuut all it takes it 2 and a half pumps and I have even beautiful coverage. I feel that, that justifies things. Anyhow lovely ladies…
