Review: Mac Studio Waterweight Foundation

Over the years, my foundation tastes have changed. I used to wear Estee Lauder Double Wear daily, enjoying the fail safe coverage, longevity and matte finish. Whilst that's still a good foundation, I just can't handle how heavy it looks and feels anymore. These days, I really like a lighter texture with a more luminous finish. Enter Mac Studio Waterweight Foundation SPF 30, a foundation that caught people's attention at Milan Fashion Week AW15. 

Mac claims that it has an 'elastic formula that blur pores and fine lines' whilst lasting for hours. The photo on the left is before I applied the foundation and the rest of my makeup. The photo on the right is after. 

 It has a very light, serum-like texture that is dispensed with a dropper. I find it to be extremely blend-able, absorbing into the skin effortlessly. It actually feels quite moisturising, and left my skin with a dewy finish. It has light to medium coverage but is definitely buildable. You can see the level of coverage if you look at the freckle on the right side of my forehead.  My favourite thing about this foundation is that it lasts without getting oily! It has lasted on me all day without needing to be touched up, and remained dewy without being shiny. Also, I can't even feel that it's there! Dreamy.  This foundation is BEAUTIFUL. Try it.
