Calling all Makeup Artists That Use MAC

[princess_jenilee]

F&B is MAC. I Buy the C and N shades usually I get the lightest and darkest colors in order to just custom blend to get a wide variety of shades and so I dont have to buy all of them. I really want to try the new moistureblend. It sounds eally nice for my darn dry skin.

Yes, F&B is MAC Face and Body foundation, seen here:

Moisture Blend is also a MAC product, it is a new cream compact foundation and liquid tube w/wand concealer. Moisture Blend is not yet available online, but is available at stores and counters.

Have you tried the Moisture Blend yet? If so, what do you think.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. It would be so nice if I had a MAC anything to go see the newer products. Of course, that does not help with the Pro side of stuff. I just have to order sight unseen most of the time.

It gets overwhelming.

Thanks again! I will have to try out the F&B foundation.

That's great advice-I was going to this too for my kit but how difficult is it to mix? And do you go through the foundations fast? TIA!

MoistureBlend is geared towards dry skin, so if the bride has an oily complexion, she will look like an oil slick in her pictures. The finish is quite nice, however I prefer Studio Tech because it offers more coverage. Face and Body Foundation is a hit or miss, depending on the bride. It looks amazing in pictures, due to it's photo stability. The effect is very dewy, and sheer, so you have to set it with a good powder. For problematic skin, I would refrain from using Face and Body because the coverage is almost transparent.

I know this isn't exactly what you're asking, however, if you can get your hands on some MUFE Face & Body, I prefer it a lot more than the MAC one and it's what I usually go for regarding bridal work.


As for Studio Tech on oily skin, regardless of astringent, it's inviting disaster. And it looks a bit unnatural to me if you're considering a bride.

If the bride needs the extra coverage, then I'd go for Mat Velvet +, it works great on oily skin.

I am not fond of studio tech at all =/

I like the finish of studio fix fluid, but I don't like that it is so reflective in photos. I have all the colors of Select Coverup in my kit, and I really like how it turns out. Good coverage, and very natural looking. I can sheer it out with moisturizer if necessary.

I'm about to invest in the RMCA Ko palette though. I keep hearing good things, and the sample size palette is a fair price and looks like it has a pretty wide range of colors.
