Aren’t we all looking for a flawless and uniform complexion? A foundation creates an even foundation while covering all of your mistakes. The beauty of MAC foundations is that they are high quality products that are sold in a variety of colors and textures. Compared to most high-end brands, MAC is also relatively cheaper. With a variety of foundation options on the market, it becomes difficult to choose something that works for you.
Best MAC Foundations For Different Skin Types
1. MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
This powder-plus primer is a one-step tool that gives you a smooth, matte, and flawless finish. It is durable and allows your skin to breathe due to its light, velvety texture. This compact is available in over 40 different colors for every skin tone.
Review
If you like sticking to powder foundations that are easy and quick to use and don’t fancy a liquid foundation, this is a godsend for you. The cover is build-able and the texture is velvety. It’s great for cover-ups during the day (though you don’t need too many). If you have oily or combination skin, the excess oil on your face is removed and you get a nice, matte finish. It’s also great to wear it during the day.
2. MAC Pro Longwear Foundation
MAC claims that this Pro Long-Wear Foundation offers you up to 15 hours of wear in all environmental conditions. It’s comfortable and durable, and lets your skin breathe all day while controlling the oil. It also consists of specially treated micronized pigments to achieve an even more flawless, smooth and natural matte finish. There are over 16 colors to choose from.
Review
The MAC Pro Long-wear Foundation is indeed long-lived, according to them. It looked just as fresh after a long 12-hour day. It gives your skin a beautiful, natural finish. The cover is build-able and is ideal for regular use because it is quite light and does not clog the pores. In terms of texture, this liquid foundation is just the right amount of creaminess. It is not transmitted and remains on all day. If you have acne prone skin and need to cover blemishes, this is an excellent job.
3. MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation
This primer is an oil control formula and offers a matte finish with medium to full coverage. It is also equipped with UVA / UVB SPF 15 / PA ++ broadband protection and will help you minimize the appearance of pores and imperfections, giving you a smoother and flawless finish. Available in over 30 colors.
Review
Although this primer is suitable for all skin types, it is particularly suitable for oily and combination skin types and offers you an excellent matt finish that looks so natural. The coverage ranges from medium to full and is buildable. It also contains sun protection and a sun protection factor of 15. It simply slides on your skin and blends in wonderfully. It is also sweat and moisture resistant. One of the best foundations from MAC!
4. MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF 15 Foundation
This mineralizing foundation has been developed to give you a satin finish that will refine, refresh and illuminate your skin from the inside. It comes in a combination of powders in a cream-gel emulsion formula that creates an optical blur effect – which practically reduces imperfections and fine lines for a smooth tone. It also contains the 77 mineral complex of MAC, vitamin E and shea butter. It is available in 18 colors.
Review
If you have really dry or sensitive skin – this is your holy grail! This is one of those foundations that can be worn every day, especially because it’s light and has a pleasant and moist finish. It also lasts all day and you look perfectly composed without smearing or oxidizing. It is also one of the best foundations for women over 40 because it covers fine lines and wrinkles so effectively.
5. MAC Next To Nothing Face Color Foundation
This ultra-mild liquid is treated with nourishing ingredients and opalescent microspheres to achieve a youthful glow that appears illuminated from the inside. This can be used alone or under / over the foundation. It brings out the luminosity of the skin for pure, mild perfection. It has a color palette of around 8 colors.
Review
If you’re just getting started with priming and want a simple formula, go for it as it’s a brilliant product. It does what it says it does. It lasts all day, even without a primer. It does a good job of blurring pores and balancing your skin tone. It makes your skin healthy and radiant with a nice soft effect. For best results, you can apply this foundation with a damp sponge (Beauty Blender) that gives you the perfect, moist shine. It works for all skin types too! However, we thought it was a bit expensive for what it does and the coverage it offers – for $ 31, it’s nothing out of the ordinary.
6. MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation
This is the basis for color in an ultra-liquid, thin, elastic gel-serum formula. The moisturizing formula contains a moisture fusion complex and protects your skin with a sun protection factor of 30. It offers comfort all day long and sheer to medium coverage. Available in 23 colors.
Review
If you are looking for an alternative to the heavier coverage, this serum foundation is for you. It is extremely light and offers broadband sun protection. It also contains useful antioxidants and reparative ingredients. It comes in a glass bottle with a dropper applicator, and you only need a tiny amount to cover your entire face. It fits wonderfully into a sponge and gives you a satin finish that is neither matt nor moisturizing – just somewhere in the middle.
7. MAC Studio Tech Foundation
The Studio Tech is a tri-system mixture of water, plasticizers and water that slides on as a soft, creamy emulsion. This innovative formula offers extensive coverage and a natural, powder-like finish. It also helps soften lines and create a flawless texture for every skin type. Over 27 different colors are available.
Review
The MAC Studio Tech Foundation comes in a compact package and has a thick and creamy consistency. It is one of the best bases to hide scars. For best results, use a polishing brush instead of the sponge that came with the product for best results. It is also ideal for sensitive skin. You can fill it up with some compact powder and it stays there all day.
8. MAC Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation
This is a gel-based formulation that offers medium to full coverage with a natural satin finish. It provides ultimate hydration and instantly revitalizes dull looking skin. Its micronized, silicone-coated pigments improve skin adhesion and miscibility. It offers broadband sun protection. Available in 8 colors.
Review
MAC’s Studio Sculpt is another gel-based foundation. It is true to color and has a creamy consistency that offers good coverage (not full, but somewhere between light and medium). It’s a great product to highlight the “no-make-up” look. It also gives you a shine that looks very natural. A little goes a long way – it feels very light on the skin. Although this is suitable for all skin types, beauties of dry skin may find a new favorite in this foundation because it is quite moisturizing.
9. MAC Face and Body Foundation
The Face and Body Foundation by MAC is a light foundation and offers a pure cover with a satin finish. It is a moisturizing, long-lasting formula that glides on the face and body and offers a color that is true to the original. 13 different colors available.
Review
If you are looking for something supernatural and light, this foundation is the right choice. I think it’s great how easy it is to work with this foundation and how it fits in perfectly. It gives your skin a radiant shine, balances your skin tone and soothes out minor imperfections. It is a great product for everyday use. It does not accentuate pores, stripes or becomes cake-like; Rather, it stays perfect all day long!
10. MAC Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation
This formula contains customizable pigments that adapt to your skin tone in a flawless, matte finish with medium buildable opacity. It reduces the shine on the face and absorbs excess oil. It also offers perfect color purity without looking chalky or ashy. It comes with SPF 15 and broadband protection. It comes in 12 different colors.
Review
The Match master actually adapts to and balances your skin. It can be worn in any weather. It is light and easy to mix. The covering is medium to build-able and the texture is just the right amount of creaminess. It doesn’t settle in fine lines; Rather, it blurs them and helps minimize their appearance. Overall, this is a great foundation with SPF 15 if you’re looking for something long-lasting.
