MAC Matchmaster Foundation

After purchasing my new NARS blush, I decided it was time to get rid of the Maybelline foundations that I hardly used and replace them with a step up in my beauty routine. I chose MAC mostly because I happened to be wandering by it in Nordstrom and a sales associate asked me if I needed help. I was really looking for a Chanel foundation, but she was a MAC lady so I let her do my makeup (which she didn't seem too happy about. -.-) I told her I have very dry skin and I wanted light to medium coverage so she applied shade 1.5 to my skin and it looked very nice. It felt ok on my skin and I kind of just went with it, trying to knock things off my shopping list. (In retrospect, I really wish I had just found the Chanel counter girl, but I'll live.)

Anyways this foundation turned out ok for me, its nothing amazing and I only use 1-1.5 pumps for my whole face. I feel like she just listened to how much coverage I wanted without taking into consideration the fact that I tried to tell her my skin will just peel off with most makeup. This hasn't turned out particularly bad for me, but its probably not something I will purchase again, even though it is cheaper than other high-end brands. I like that it has spf and this shade works well with my skin, but other than that, its really nothing to scream about. I'd rather try out the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.

Pros: Wide selection of shades, Covers dark circles well, spf 15, Price

Cons: Not moisturizing, exposes dry peeling skin A LOT

$33
