Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
I bought this after a Ulta MAC consultant helped me find a summer foundation. I have two problem spots on my face, a sun spot on my cheek and one red acne mark...this product covered both areas! Plus it felt light on my skin and did not transfer! I will definitely continue to use the foundation.
Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
The foundation is amazing but it is very annoying to use the applicator. I wish there was a pump. It gets messy very easily.
Pros
- Lightweight
Cons
- Doesn't Stay On
- Poor Coverage
- Too Greasy

Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
I was matched instore and the girl did a great job color matching. The product itself is terrible, literally the worst Ive ever used! It never sets & stays wet, moves around. If you apply setting power, it looks like cake batter. Its hard to describe but it just lays on top of your skin and creases everywhere. Ive never taken anything back to ULTA in my life and I am seriously considering it because I dont even want to keep this as a backup.
Pros
- Blends Well
- Easy To Apply
- Goes On Smoothly
- Lightweight
Cons

Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
I like a lighter coverage foundation and this fits the bill. Was using MAC Mineralize foundation and like the look and feel of this better. Looks very natural and goes on beautifully. Thanks to the Ulta technician, I found I was using the wrong color that another dept. store sold me.
Pros

Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:

Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
I love this foundation! I was using the Mac Studio Fix, which I loved as well, but was looking for something a bit lighter for the summer and the waterweight is perfect. I love that the Mac products have SPF, too. This goes on very easily, you only need a little bit, blends well, and I don't feel cakey. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a lightweight foundation.

Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
I've been using the It cosmetics "your skin but better" foundation for months and it was SO heavy and greasy on my face. I needed a change. The girl at Ulta (citrus park store in Tampa) was SO helpful and pointed me to this MAC foundation. In one day I saw a HUGE difference in how well my makeup stayed on throughout the day. I love how lightweight it feels and how easily it blended. It's watery and a little messy in the bottle but totally worth it for the product and how great I felt. It was my first MAC purchase and I am pretty happy!
Pros
- Easy To Apply
- Lightweight
Cons
- Breaks Up On Skin
- Cakey
- Doesn't Stay On
Best Uses
- Light To Medium Coverage
Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
I have very fair skin and my skin is also VERY dry. It just broke up on my face, looks super cake and it didn't match very well. I will stick to my smashbox foundation even if I have to mix in a white foundation. I do not like this at all.
Pros
- Blends Well
- Easy To Apply
- Goes On Smoothly
- Good Pigmentation
- Lightweight
- Matte Finish
Cons
Best Uses
- Dry Skin
- Light To Medium Coverage
- Mature Skin
Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
This product is so worth the money! Its a build-able foundation, so it goes on light at first but once I put on another layer, it looked great! It appears light and never cakey. Great for a mature complexion, like mine. I will buy again & again,
Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation:
I have no complaints about the formula for this foundation at all. It took me a year (I don't wear it every single day) but I just finished an entire bottle of this recently and decided to try the Mineralize Moisture foundation next in the same shade.
If you've ever tried that one, this is similar but thinner and a little more sheer. It also has more SPF than Mineralize Moisture although it def does not feel like a sunscreen. Good for dry / normal skin and I like the dropper. It's easier to control how much you use.

Q:
Does it flashback ?Asked on 4/25/2018 by Sand from El Monte CAN1 answer
A:
You may experience some flashback with MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation when using a flash while taking photos in dark areas from the higher SPF in this formula. Having an additional light source that faces you will help to minimize the occurrence. If having a professional photographer taking photos their equipment usually compensates and it's not an issue.Answered on 4/25/2018 by Brand Expert from MAC
