- Q
how to use?
- Asked by hina
- Official Answer By MACGreat question! For best results, we suggest applying MAC Studio Radiance Serum Powered foundation onto the back of the hand to keep the product warm. You can dip the bristles of the MAC 171S Brush into the foundation and then apply onto the skin, starting in the center of the face. If you prefer, you can also use fingertips or a makeup sponge to smooth it onto the skin. After applying the foundation evenly to the face, feel free to blend or build to your desired coverage. We want to be sure you receive the perfect custom-fit products in MAC and invite you to chat with us!

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!!

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 ...

Absolutely love this foundation! The quality is amazing – smooth, long-lasting, and gives a flawless finish. I'm already on my 4th bottle, and it never disappoints!
Love it!!
No foundation has ever worked well on my skin thats kinda oily but usually pretty dry. i prep my skin as always which is just with a light hydrating toner and use the elf hydra grip primer and it works so so good it lasts so long and looks so flawless, i live in a hot and humid area and it lasts so very good. never had a foundation like this. and the color match is perfect (i use NC11.5)

I LOVE this foundation! It is so lightweight on your skin and I would recommend for people that don't like the feeling of heavy makeup but still want full coverage!
Sadly dissapointed

Comments about NW5
Ahhhh....as huge and loyal of a MAC fan that I am I was sadly rather disapointed with this product. I have a dry skin texture and found this foundation to be dry and cakey. It pilled a lot on my skin and I could not get a good blend on it even with a very light application. I would have returned it but by the time I got around to thinking about it I think it was probably too late to do so. I know this is supposed to be a great serum based formula but for me it just fell flat on every level. You have to shake it well before using it to mix it correctly and in all honesty a tiny drop goes a long way so it will last and you will get your moneys worth if you like it. It also does offer a lot of coverage. I don't know why it didn't work for me. I had extremely high hopes for it and I don't know if it was just my skin type, the wrong shade, but it didn't leave a good impression for me. I would be maybe try it again as a sample in a different shade but until then I won't recommend it
I wanted to like it….
Jealous of all the other people who experienced "dewy" skin cause that's not what I experienced at all! I would have to over apply to make it not look streaky or gross. It made my skin look so dry and gross. I only ended up trying this because the beauty blender skin tint was NOT sold at Ulta. Unfortunately, that product is now discontinued as well. All in all, this wasn't for you. Looking at you Ulta employee 👀 girl was like the only good stuff we have here is MAC
