Don't you hate it when your fave foundation runs out and you have to hit the emergency stash? (in my case, left over summer shades that are def too dark at this point. Cue manic neck blending!) Naturally, I made a MAC order pronto and thought I'd show you a few of the bits I picked up....
STUDIO FIX FLUID
I remember trying this foundation when I was like 17 and hating it (partly because the MUA matched me to NC25...definitely not an NC25 here guys! #paleclub) I decided to give it another go and I'm pleasantly surprised. Medium to full coverage with a semi-matte finish that's neither cakey nor drying unlike most of the other matte foundations on the market, and I'm sold. This time I opted for the shade NC15 which if I'm completely honest is a little darker than I would like - partly due to the way it oxidizes on my face - but I really like the finish. Definitely one I will be repurchasing, especially as at £22.00, it's a lot cheaper than most of the other high(er) end foundations I like.
STROBE CREAM
This is the perfect base for Studio Fix. I really like using liquid highlighters as a base under foundation, to give it that bit of extra dewiness and this definitely does the job. I like that it's pearly without being too pink-toned and it dries pretty quickly; there's no greasy finish here. I know a lot of people describe this as a moisturiser but I don't find it to be that hydrating - could be because it's winter but I would rec using your standard day cream under this too!
LIP LINER IN WHIRL
Remember when this was out of stock for months and months because Kylie Jenner used it? Good times. Whirl is a rosy brown-toned shade and perfect for that 90s nude lip. I personally love pairing it with MAC Faux and LA Splash's liquid lipstick in Ghoulish. I'm not quite sure what I did before lip liner but it honestly makes such a difference! I feel like it makes any lip look so much cleaner and more precise ... and it's definitely a must when it comes to over drawing (just slightly) for a fuller pout.
What MAC products have you currently got your eye on? Forever waiting for Stone lipliner to come back in stock and slightly gutted that the only bits I wanted from the Christmas collection are sold out!
