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!
