^yeah! I mixed SFF with a bit of moisturiser a lot before I discovered studio moisture tint. I'm lazy, I want it all-in-one

Urm, I don't find Sculpt dewy at all.. F&B definitely, but not SS?

Haha, trust me, I have lots of imperfections and Mineralized foundation does not accentuate them. Actually on my 2nd day of using this, I forgot to put the concealer, because my face looked flawless lol. The weird thing is, I took my bestie to the store and MA there tried to talk her out of it too. Her skin was in mess, because she was still recovering from major op.. The foundation looked kinda heavy on her first, but then by the time we got out of the store, it looked fab on her. Now she thinks it is the best foundation ever!

I like the matteness of SFF but it's a lot heavier than what I need. I actually have really clear skin so sort of question myself as to why I'm using something so heavy! I alternate btwn SFF and the studio moisture tint set with MSFN which I like, but I get super oily around the nose straight away. Stuff it, I'm gonna go and try it out. Thanks guys! |

Sculpt is mega dewy. lol. It's described by mac as a 'satin' finish... so in terms of dewynss it goes matte-natural-satin.
I mix my foundation, so I end up using a million products. But I find I get the right colour and texture by doing so, so it doesn't bother me.
I have to mix my foundation to get the right colour because I am not completely NC and need a smidge of NW. So I sheer out my SFF (NC20+NW15) with a bit of hyper real (NC200) or F&B (C2) and Strobe Liquid. Because I have a bit of rosacea, and I like my t-zone completely matte, I use select coverup concealer in these areas. But then I use the mineralise loose powder in "medium light" all over to give me a more natural finish. The more you buff that in, the more of a natural glow you get. I love that stuff.

I'm loving MAC mineralized foundation SPF15, too! I have oily t-zone and most foundations I have to blot or powder during the day. But with this I don't really need to. I love the natural finish of it. Funny thing is I actually hated it when they put it on me at the store, but when I got home I loved it.

Hahaha sweet! You are already 3 down!
I have a few other beauty products I need to get through, like a Dermalogica body scrub and some face masks.. I think I should make it a project 20 pan
Quote:
lol yes I should
I have hit pan on my Select Sheer Pressed Powder and almost hit pan on my Satin Taupe e/s, so I want to finish them.... I dont think I will rebuy the Select Sheer.... I much prefer blot powder to Select Sheer....
But I will definitely repurchase Satin Taupe... it is my fave MAC e/s.....
I think I need to pick a blush and try and use that up as well.. I have made a fairly good dent on my NARS Madly Blush, so that will probably be my next victim
Ok so here is my list so far:
1. Dermalogica Body Scrub
2. Satin Taupe Eyeshadow
3. MAC Plushlash
4. NARS Madly Blush
5. MAC Virgin Kiss l/g
6. MAC Bare Necessity Dazzleglass
7. MAC Funshine slimshine
8. Napoleon Perdis Pore Minimizer and Mattifier ( I was going to repurchase this, but it is $65!!!! I remember it was like $35 bucks when I worked there!!! Outrageous)
9. MAC Select Sheer Powder

^I don't think I'm strong enough to do this challenge :/ I guess I can try.. I have finished a heap of things just recently but I've already replaced some of them. Here is whats gone or almost gone
- Just finished Pressed Blot Powder last week
- About to finish MSF Natural - Dark
- Finished Mario Bedescu Glycolic Toner (replaced!)
- Finished L'Occitaine Imortelle Very Precious Cream
- Almost finished Embark e/s - just a bit around the sides left.. so hard to get to!
- Studio Sculpt Concealer has a major dent in it
- A few nail polishes are down to half or less
- Finished a Seche Vite last week
- Almost finished a Felike Kohl Power
- Almost finished UD Zero Pencil
- Almost finished Fast Response Eye Cream
Maybe I will join in the lip product ban... maybe. Those new Tom Ford lippies are calling to me.
