NEWER MAC FOUNDATION

Shanus — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 12:16:53 GMT

MAC Radience Serum-Powered Foundation and yay... no SPF.

There are 48 shades available and I'll go to the store to be shade matched. Their cool/warm system is so confusing and sometimes completely backwards.

I saw already at my local Ultas. I swatched on hand and man it stays on pretty well but I don’t really care for the click pen dispenser. I have also read reviews on MAC that some complain of having very little. The other new moisturizing foundation was a no go for me. I’ll stick with my Double Wear.

The ad sent to me looked like a bottle not a click pen.

I ordered three different bottles of the MAC face and body. It is very thin and transparent, which is fine with me.

This is the MAC color system which I have never really understood until now.

@LTT1 Yes, I get it. Their cool or yellow foundations are still not neutral for me...they all run kind of yelllow/warm on me. Don't understand why their system and names need to be different and difficult.

ITA!

The system is confusing.

@Shanus - I agree! It's so confusing that I don't even bother with it.

@Allthingsgirly67 - Why are you saying this bottle is a "click pen" ?

@monicakm No, I never have....al the fair shades are too pink or too yellow.

My go to shade in MAC has always been NW13.

I am extremely pale (in years past) and this one still works for me as a concealer (lights up my eyes).

I had always used the stick foundation in NW13 but really wasn't pleased I don't really know why. This shade does work for me most of the time but I am a cool tone. So porcelain with pink undertones.

And this is not for you because you are neutral. I will bet that can get tricky. I do have an idea for you though. If you have access to Ulta and some Sephora, you might try shade checking with the Natasha Denona concealers display. At Ulta they carry almost all of the shades... you might hit the "jackpot" and find your match in the "neutrals" section!
I'm sure they would be happy for you to "streak" one of them on a card then you could match with a MAC foundation? Honestly, ND has the most color choices I have ever seen.

My shade (as I said porcelain with pink) is in their lightest rose section.. my choices so far are R1, R2 and R3. It's fizzing.

''My MAC purchases in the past have been a higher in a tiny bottle that you shake before using...IMO it was my best formula so far from MAC.

I hope any of this makes sense and is of some help for you! Let me know!

There were two new releases for MAC. One is the serum foundation that gets too gooey for me as the day wore on. The other is touted as a foundation/concealer, which comes a click pen style. It’s supposed to be long-wear and waterproof. This replaced the I believe it was called futurist hydration waterproof foundation.
