    Fresh and natural look

    MAC's Studio Sculpt is a light feeling formula that blends super easily for a fresh, natural look and feel with the all important SPF15. It's in a tube, not a pump jar, but that's a good thing because some pump jars leave 2-3 centimetres of product in the bottom that don't pump out.

    Perfect for a natural look!

    I love this foundation’s formula! The colour matches my skin really well and it doesn’t apply cakey or thick. It’s perfect if you’re going for a natural look! I love the consistency and texture and I would definitely recommend. Mac foundations are one of my favourites and this product doesn’t disappoint.

    A little goes a long way, however a little on the greasy sid

    I have been using this foundation for nearly a year and about 85% done. Pros about this foundation is that it is not drying and the finish is dewy (which I love - my skin is too dry for matte), what I also love about this product is that all you need is a pea size, and that the coverage is buildable. The con that I find with this product is that you need to finish your look with a little bit of translucent powder. Without the powder, after 4-6 hours of wear you can see streaky marks - found them by my t-zone, almost looks like I did not blend my foundation in ALTHOUGH I did!

    This foundation wears beautifully and is very buildable in terms of coverage. It works on days where you need a natural finish, as well as days where you're going for a heavier full face. I also love the fact that it's packaged in a tube which makes it easy to travel with! Good price too, as compared to to other brands!

    Excellent foundation that goes on super creamy and provides medium to more buildable coverage! Great for weddings, grad, other special occasions, and photo shoots. Studio sculpt leaves your skin looking flawless and feeling smooth without being too greasy; those with very oily skin may wish to avoid this product though, as I find it slightly mouse like and bit too rich for such a skin type. Love the bottle this comes in as it lets you visualize how much foundation you are actually getting (unlike the pour over bottles, like Studio Fix). Blends very well (still always recommend cleaning up with a sponge though) and gives flawless coverage when use in conjunction with Studio Fix powder! One of the best foundations on the market.

    I had the opportunity to try this foundation out, and it was incredible! It went on so smoothly, and the coverage was amazing. The satin finish really got it for me, I love how it still looks like it's my natural skin. Love it!

    Love this foundation and have been using it for ages.
    As with all MAC foundations comes in every shade you can imagine, and the ladies are good at matching you with your perfect one.
    You can build quite a thick coverage, which I need cause I hate my freckles.
    It makes your skin look dewy, not too matt!
    Only problem - they test on animals!!!
    This has become too much of a negative point for me and I am afraid I am going to have to change it up!

    I am extremely impressed with this foundation. I used to purchase their studio fix fluid, but I always thought it was too thick for my skin. I liked the select spf 15 better, but I was never really satisfied with the results in the long run. Unlike the other foundations, studio sculpt is gel based so it adheres well to the skin. This works extremely great if you use the 190 foundation brush because a little foundation goes a long way! It doesn't feel cakey and doesn't dry out. Better results are always better with a primer. I always appreciate a good buy and for $33ish is definitely an investment. Seriously - its that good. This deserves top scores :)

    The Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation is from MAC's Well Defined collection, and it retails for around $30. The collection is now a permanent part of MAC, so it won't be going anywhere like a normal collection. Items that are part of the Well Defined collection are Studio Sculpt concealer, prep and prime skin, the 191 square foundation brush, the 195 concealer brush, and of course the foundation.

    I am amazed by this foundation. I thought that this might be a let down as well seeing as the other items from the Well Defined collection truly disappointed me (the concealer and the 195 concealer brush), but I needed a new foundation and there are amazing reviews for this so I decided to buy this. Thank goodness I did! This is the Holy Grail of foundations. If MAC continues until I die and keep this foundation around, I will be using it for the rest of my life. It is a gel concealer, and is medium to full coverage (it's buildable). This is the only foundation that I can truthfully say looks like I am not wearing makeup. It blends so well (I just use my fingers to apply this), and can either have a dewy look, or with the application of powder, have a matte look.

    Many people are confused about this concealer. People are saying it is only for oily skin, or dry skin, or combo skin. Some people are saying it is for all types of skin. All I can say is go to the MAC counter and ask for a sample and see if it works for you. Good luck!
