MAC Lightful Quick Finish Cushion Compact

Hello lovelies,

this is MAC Lightful Quick Finish Cushion Compact in Light. The product comes in a cushion like container and look, the idea is similar to the cushion we knew, but their concept is bright glowing luminous skin.

-*-



New updates to the Lightful C lineup include a boost of sun protection for Lightful C + Coral Grass Moisturizer, now with SPF 50/PA++++; and a reimagined compact for lasting wear, naturally matte Lightful C + Coral Grass SPF 30/PA+++ Foundation, now featuring a sleek and slim side-by-side design. And, of course, not to be forgotten is our ever-popular Lightful C + Coral Grass SPF 50/PA++++ Quick Finish Cushion Compact, which packs all the benefits of our Lightful C foundation into an innovative cushion compact that’s ideal for quick touch-ups and maintaining bright skin with long-wearing, natural radiant coverage.

The product comes in 7 shades and this is not the fairest of them all, extra light is. So there's 5 more shades darker than mine.

The container all in all similar to any cushion, with the cushion, puff, and the product in a soft squishy sponge. One dab is enough for my entire face. Maybe since it's still new but I think they do give more.

A luxurious brand of MAC is entitled on the handle ribbon.

Enough about packaging and container goo goo ga ga, we want to see the product in action, so, let's start by looking at my bare nude skin.

-*-

Uneven skin tone, spots and there's even one annoying acne on the chin.

Some redness also visible as well.

Below is after using the cushion compact without any concealer or color corrector.

-*-

The skin appear instantly brighter, smoother, more flawless and the tone is even out. Major dark spots are hidden and that brightening look achieved easily.

The product blends and sticks on the skin easily, I enjoy using it as the product feels comfortable and thin on the skin, like I'm using none.

After the cushion I'm adding some contour, powder and colors. Since the base itself already really good in making and keeping the canvas looking 'clean' and effortless, I have no problem throughout the day.

-*-

Very minimum touch up is used, even after a bit of studio drama and getting sweat like having a Brazilian wax (you know how that feel), the makeup still comfortably there and looking as fresh as ever. The staying power is amazing.

-*-

Thank you so much MAC Indonesia for this lovely product, I'll surely use it daily now as it gives my skin a sun protection as well as coverage and survival that I need throughout the day without fail.

Overall,

Must try! Where have you been all my life?!

MAC Studio Fix Perfecting Stick

Hello lovelies,

these babies from MAC are my recent treasure and they are (for sure) pleasing and satisfying.

I've shared a review on the lippies before (here) and how much I love it. Now, here's another product not to be missed.

-*-

MAC Studio Fix Perfecting Stick and mine happens to be in NW50, a shade that is perfect as a contouring color for me.

The product comes in a crayon like container and as the auto stick easily twisted up to be used, it's a very hand tool for me.

-*-

The packaging is a bit fancy, like the rest of MAC products where the packaging is in black, this one has a bit of a sparks. The brown color on the end is the shade of the product inside.

-*-

As someone who is blessed with chubby cheek and more than one chin, I personally, definitely, truly, need this item to contour. And it works like a charm.

It blends easily on the skin and stays. That's the best part, it stays.

-*-

And below is the final result of using it.

-*-

Here's one more fact that wonders me, it can be used on 'wet' and ' or dry condition, like before and after powder and they still blends well.

-*-

During 'wet' after all the liquid and before all the powders, I use beauty blender to blend the product and after powder and everything 'dry', I simply use a brush to help blending it again, and I love the final result as it definitely create a cheekbones I never had.

-*-

Thank you so much MAC Cosmetics for giving me a product that works, giving me that defined irresistible lines.

MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color

Hello lovelies,

it's time for another liquid lipstick, and I don't think I'm done with them even thou we are in the trend of shiny, metallic and glossy. I can always go either way, from velvet, matte, dewy, super glossy to metallic and glitters. Depends on the occasion they are all good.

Sounds very interesting, right?! Mine happens to be Ess-presso, a deepened chocolate brown. They happen to have more than 25 shades and they all look so interestingly good. Any makeup addict would love to collect as the colors are solid.

-*-

They may look thick, rich and super creamy, but on the lips they feel so pleasantly smooth. Easy to dispense, swipe and blend, but careful, the setting time is rather fast (means good too) so when there's error, clean it fast before they set.

After set, it stays so beautifully flexible, comfortable and not drying. It stays as long as I don't eat something oily, since waterproof never means oil-proof.

-*-

And the shade? Oh clearly seen on my photos, I super duper loving it.

-*-

Verdict? Great texture, finish, solid vivid high pigment color, stays on and easy to clean with oil based cleanser. The applicator is spot on, the wand works like magic and my lips look so deliciously good, full coverage, it's the best since they are comfortable too.
