Can someone explain to me all the Mac Foundations?

[HapaDynazty]

I have used studio fix fluid spf15 but I would like to try the others

What are the differences?

Select spf
Select spf moistureblend
Select tint spf
Studio stick spf
Studio finish matte
Hyperreal spf
Full coverage
Face and body

Are any of these others worth trying?

I have combo skin pretty shiny in T-zone - I break out occasionally - I have sensitive skin

Out of all MAC foundation I prefer Face & Body. I recently have been using it and love it on my clients and my clients love it too. The way it feels as if your not wearing makeup at all. I also have studio fix which is ok but not for me.

in winter when my skin is always so dry i love hyper real SPF foundation, and in summer when i tend to break out heaps i use something with a bit more coverage - like tech or studio fix

I'd say the Makeup Forever is far superior. I've used both, and am actaully switching my kit to the Makeup Forever complexion products from MAC, as I just find them far superior.

Which makeup forever foundation would be the best for super oily skin?

 

[jess98765]

for oily skin, i'd stay away from any liquid foundations.... probably i'd go for studio fix with some blot powder also..

The matte oil free is a good choice, formulated for oily to combination skins.

They also make a powder foundation, if you prefer that sort of thing.

Thanks so much Marty. I've been using MAC foundations for a while, and I'm ready to try something new.

Gonna take a different approach and do this like "effect"

Select spf - light/med coverage. your basic liquid foundation.
Select spf moistureblend -med coverage - good for older skin, very creamy and gives a dewy finish.
Select tint spf- your select spf cut with studio moisture lotion. Very light coverage - use with a concealer for spots/undereye.
Studio stick spf - kinda like "tech in a stick" - which I see is not on your list. Great for portability. Tech has more "durability" and staying power than moistureblend with a matte-er finish.
Studio finish matte - medium coverage, seriously matted finish and likely getting phased out. Has a core following, I find it tough to work with.
Hyperreal spf - gives you that J Lo Glow, super dewy finish with light to med. coverage.
Full coverage - beloved by tv types - it's the same stuff as the pot concealer, only more of it... Will cover ANYTHING but is too heavy for most people.
Face and body - light coverage but buildable. If you build it it works to this stiffer feel - not quite describable, you'll see if you try it - but gives a very natural finish. Is also water resistant so it's good for summer.
I hope this helps -
