MAC Studio Waterweight Foundation SPF 30 (Sep 2015)

[Xina]

I'm overly excited about this foundation. I had the opportunity to try it a couple of times during backstages and it is *amazing*. I think it will suit those with normal/combination but not too oily/dry skin. I'm a bit worried about colours, though. Where is NW15?? But since each foundation's range of colour is different I think I'll give a try to NC15/NW13/NW18 hoping to find my perfect match!

My MA told me this is coming out September 10th.

She also said they all loved it when they tried it at update.

The one thing she did say that kind of turned me off getting it was that it looks the best when applied with the new brush. She thought 130 applied it pretty well but the new brush helps you "push" it into your skin.

That's $80 for both!!! We'll see.

I wonder if other foundation brushes that you already own can buff foundation in the skin as well. The flat top of that brush looks like the Shiseido/ Bare Minerals type which have probably been duped by now.

They have NW20 but not NC20? I'll head to local counters, hoping NC15 works.

If this is wonderful they will expand the shade range at some point.

there is NC20 someone just mentioned it is mistake not being listed as a shade

Ugh. I'm desperate for a good foundation that doesn't flake on my dry skin.

Off topic a bit, but I've been having good luck with Lancome Teint Idole. Maybe try a sample? 100 Ivoire N is a good match for me being NW13, but there's one shade lighter if you need it! I think counters will give you a vial with a week's worth for free!

She said the 130 worked well but not as well as the new brush. I plan on getting a sample and using the 130, if I don't like it I'll continue with my Face and Body.

I'll have to look at this! I'm so tired of the Studio Fix Fluid looking super flaky within just a couple hours even when I moisturize before I put on my foundation.

More swatches by dominic_mua. He said, "It makes the skin look flawlessly radiant with a velvet touch without the sweat or tackiness."

The same thing happens to me with SFF. :sigh:

SFF requires very moisturized skin and proper prepping . I am on the dryer side and when I wear moisturizing primer like Moisture infusion or even strobe cream, it never looks dry or flaky

I've tried it with strobe cream and got the same flakiness. Tried mixing it in with the foundation and applying it before foundation but I do have very dry skin.

This has been my experience as well. And in the Fall/Winter? Forget about it.

I got to try this out and I'm excited to get it when it comes out. Such a nice smooth and light finish.. They used it on many of the models and they looked flawless with a subtle but natural looking glow. Need.

I really, really respect that they actually test these products on models before throwing it out there for public consumption. Can't. Wait. To. Buy!

This launched on the German MAC site today. But no N12! NW13 is the lightest shade we got. Now I'm wondering if N12 is Asia exclusive? I wanted to to order it, but now I'm not sure.

Today I bought online Waterweight in NC15

 

[blackbirdfly]

I can't wait to try this out! For the pros out there, do you think the NC42 will match the Pro Longwear NC42? I currently use that and it fits well. I'm NC44 for summer but by the time this comes out, it will be back to NC42!

I'm excited to try this, but does anyone know if this oxidizes? It's the one thing I hate about ud naked foundation, I love the lightweight nature of it but I'm reticent to try anything else.
