8. holy grail product

so, being a lover of everything beauty related, i love to test out new products as often as i can.  i feel like i'm constantly looking for new products to fall in love with, especially ones that aren't going to cost me a ton every time i finish and need to repurchase.

however, there are some products i feel like are worth spending the little bit of extra money on, the main one being face products/foundation.  to me, having my skin as flawless as possible is the biggest confidence boost.  i feel as though if my skin looks nice, nothing else needs to.

with that being said, i have one main product i use to make my skin look, what i think is, the best it can look.  and that is MAC studio fix powder.

i use the shade c4 and the way that i find this product most useful is over a liquid or cream foundation (if your someone who steers clear of liquids, it works well solo too, i just prefer the base).  so i'll use a liquid foundation or a BB cream to mask any redness and as a base for this product.  then i'll put some concealer on and once i have my skin looking up to par, i'll push this powder into the skin using a big brush. and let me tell you, it works.  it makes your skin instantly look flawless without looking cakey or like you have too much makeup on.  it doesn't feel heavy and if you need to touch your makeup up throughout the day, you can do so without it looking heavy.  it also leaves you with a pretty matte finish, which is how i prefer my makeup.

this product is decently pricey, retailing for $27 at MAC stores and counters, but it's worth every penny.  besides, it lasts for a pretty long time, depending how often you use it.  i can usually keep mine for up to 6 months before i'm scraping at the remainders.

i figured i would write a post on this because in the past month, i have sold this product on two of my friends (to the point of going with them to purchase the powder) and after doing so, it really hit me how much i love this product and the effect it has on the skin. i could just rave on and on about it.  and for that reason, i wanted to recommend it to all of you.  i promise, it's that good.  go test it out!

i honestly don't think i will ever stop using this product, because i can't imagine something else working better.  thank you MAC, for being amazing.

xoxo!
