My new favorite foundation
I'm excited to share my experience with this foundation, especially for people with extremely dry skin. As someone in the same boat, I've always struggled with foundations creating dry patches, but this one has turned out to be a game-changer. Mind you, I'm very picky with my foundation but the way ...

Comments about Studio Radiance Serum-Powered™ Foundation - NC15
I am absolutely in love with this foundation! The Studio Radiance Serum-Powered formula feels incredibly lightweight and weightless on the skin while providing the perfect amount of hydration and a healthy, natural-looking glow. It blends out seamlessly, covers subtle imperfections effortlessly, and keeps skin looking fresh and luminous all day without feeling greasy or heavy. Shade NC15 is a stunning match that brightens up the complexion beautifully. Highly recommend if you love a hydrated, skin-like finish
I would never buy this product again. The fact I returned it
Absolutely terrible! I bought this when it was on the 21 days of beauty. It's not even worth it half off at first. I thought it might've been the color so I went and got color matched, but the other color was just as terrible returned and got my money back.
My skin but perfected.
My search is over! I've been looking for years and i've tried at least a dozen products to take place of my former 10 years old loyalty to Chanel's CC cream, which is no longer available (as its caught up in their years-long chemical sunscreen revamp). As a make up artist this is it. It is versitile for evenings or photos (no sunscreen in it). I add my own favoite LaRoche sunscreen as a layer before this make up for daytime. Super happy!!! The finish looks very natural and not "makeupy".

Comments about Studio Radiance Serum-Powered™ Foundation - NC15
This is fab for a normal to dry skin, aging as well since it does not enhance dryness nor lines. It just applies beautifuly and stays on incredibly throughout the day. Soft natural glow finish and it works amazing with Mineralize powder on top.
NOT the best for dry skin
I am a huge fan of the regular Stucio Fix Fluid, even though I have quite dry skin, it always gives my most complimented finish. So when the Radiance Serum foundation came out, I thought it would be perfect for me. It was not. First, I still feel like I haven't found the exact match (even using the guide of what works best for me with the Studio Fix Fluid). Second, I agree with the other reviewers who said it CLINGS to dry patches like no one's business. I prep my skin to oblivion. But some how, when I use this foundation, it always seperates or clings to this pne part of my face. I never have this issue with my other foundations (Studio Fix Fluid & NARS Tinted Moisturizer)..I am taking my dry mature skin and running back to my Studio Fix Fluid. It just looks so much more like skin on me than this Radiance Serum foundation.

I am currently wearing N12, but it is slightly too light. Chat GPt said to go to N18. I feel I have some redness in my skin. Would N 18 be a good next step. I do not like yellow tones at all. Please let me know as soon as possible. I am out of foundation. Thanks
- Asked by glyna
- Official Answer By MACThanks for your question! If the MAC Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation in N12 is only slightly too light, N18 would be the next shade deeper and is a great step to try for a closer match. Since you mentioned redness and that you prefer to avoid yellow tones, you may also like prepping the skin with MAC Studio Fix 24HR Color Corrector in shade "Mint". The pale green shade helps neutralize redness before foundation application, giving you a more even-looking complexion. We hope this helps you find your perfect match!Was this answer helpful to you
