WHAT IS FOUNDATION MAKEUP?
What is face foundation? It’s a makeup formula that helps smooth and even out skin tone and texture. Foundation also helps create an even base for other makeup, like blush and bronzer. Depending on the level of pigment and opacity, foundation may also camouflage blemishes and dark spots.
Foundation makeup comes in multiple forms, including liquid, cream and powder – with sheer to opaque formulas and all types of finishes, such as satin, radiant and matte. MAC has a variety of formulas and finishes for all types, all tones and all textures – in a wide range of all-inclusive shades.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOUNDATION?
MAC has an array of different types of foundation, including liquid foundation, cream foundation and powder foundation – all types, all tones, all textures.
Studio Radiance Face And Body Radiant Sheer Foundation is a lightweight fluid formula that provides a buildable sheer finish, while Full Coverage Foundation is a water-resistant cream foundation with full coverage.
Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 delivers buildable medium-to-full matte coverage and SPF 15 protection, and Studio Fix Tech Cream-To-Powder Foundation’s transformative texture medium-coverage formula is also sweat- and humidity-resistant. For a one-step powder and foundation, Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is the ultimate on-the-go option that gives an ultra-matte finish, while controlling oil and shine.
There are different types of foundation for every skin type and coverage preference - whether you want a full coverage foundation, a medium coverage foundation or a light coverage foundation.
Satin finish can be found in both face and lipstick formulas. At MAC our satin finishes are a mixture of matte and shine, slightly creamy and hydrating for a great combination.
