M·A·C Studio Radiance Serum Foundation (NC10)，30毫升

My first time using department store cosmetics. It was great!

It has just the right amount of shine and high coverage! It's become my favorite foundation. Glossy foundations tend to get stuck in pores, but this foundation stays beautiful even after a while. I think it's best to choose the color carefully. The image I got when I tried the sample was different from when I had the color matched, so for reference,

I bought the new shade N10. It's a nicely balanced shade of pink and yellow. It tones up my skin and makes it look beautiful. A small amount goes a long way and it sticks nicely to my skin. It also blends beautifully. It doesn't get stuck in my pores or leave a messy look. I chose this shade because I sometimes find foundation to be too yellow, but personally I think it would have been better if it was a little darker (maybe around NC10). It still doesn't look too white and cast on my skin. It has no sunscreen effect at all, so a primer or sunscreen is essential.

I'm concerned about the pores on my nose and cheeks, but when I apply it to fill them in, they become less noticeable and my skin looks smoother!! It also feels moisturizing when applied, which is great!

Since 2025, my MAC craze has been on the rise. I was crazy about MAC in my 20s, and while the formulas have certainly evolved since I last used their products, every category is fantastic and it's my favorite brand these days. This time, I'm using foundation. Given my age, I've only ever chosen dewy foundations, but I was looking for this foundation for seasons other than summer. It covers everything with just a tiny amount (about half the amount I've used before), yet doesn't feel heavy. It gives the impression of someone with naturally beautiful skin! I can spend the day with it, and I love that it doesn't smudge or dry out over time. I'm hoping it will hold up well in the summer when combined with a primer, powder, or fixing mist!
