I've been using this and a blush but what do you recommend to cut the shine? On the days I just want a light coverage?
- Asked by Crystal
- Official Answer By MACHey there and thanks for reaching out! I see you're a fan of the MAC Studio Radiance Serum Powered Foundation and want to cut the shine a bit. One option is the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Face Powder. This baked sheer powder can be used alone, to set foundation and to touch up makeup throughout the day. Another option to target shine is the MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Setting Powder. This ultra-refined loose powder sets makeup all day, instantly absorbs oil and provides a photo-friendly matte finish with a 3D blurring effect. Apply loose setting powder with the included puff applicator or a brush all over the face as desired to set or touch up makeup.

Hi there; sorry if I missed it, but I didn't see it stated what kind of coverage this gives? I understand it's build-able, but HOW buildable is it? Does this have more of a sheer coverage after your first layer or more of a medium? Since it isn't mentioned specifically in the description either, does this found/serum combo NOT cover basic acne aka red bumps/acne spots on its own? I hope my questions make sense!! I've come to find a lot of found/serums off sheer to light coverage and don't do much for people with acne prone combo skin- but can't find much info on this one myself!! Tysm!!

Comments about NW15
I'm NW15 in the Studio Waterweight Foundation, which they've discontinued. After confirming the shade for this foundation with the Find Your Shade tool, I decided to trust it and give this one a try ... They're not even comparable! The same shade in this foundation is SIGNIFICANTLY darker and warmer. No amount of blending or correcting could make this work. I wish it were accurate, because the formula and coverage are beautiful. Instead, I'm down $13 for the return.
