MAC 190 Foundation BrushDescription from http://www.maccosmetics.com/
A tri-system blend of water, emollients (substances that soften & soothe the skin, to correct dryness and scaling of the skin) and powder.
Looks solid (means high coverage), glides on as a soft, creamy emulsion.
Provides a natural matte, powder-perfect finish.
Smooth to blend.
Water-cooled - refreshes and hydrates skin.
Light diffusing: softens lines, creates a fresh, flawless finish.
Good on all skin types.
Personal opinion :
A good high coverage foundation that comes in a compact form and good for all skin type (especially dry skin as it contains emollients). Although the package comes with a VERY GOOD sponge, I would not recommend you to apply with it as you will tend to apply more than you really need to. Keep the sponge for some other purpose.
I personally love using the MAC 190 Foundation brush as it gives a better control in terms of blending and you will tend to use LESS. As I said earlier, this is a HIGH coverage foundation, so be gentle and less is more.
The tri-system formula is good for those that do not like having another setting/loose powder. But with our crazy weather here in Malaysia, I would highly recommend to set it with powder so that the foundation stays longer.
TIPS :
If you love this product because of the tri-system formula or simply because you are a cream foundation fans, BUT a bit hesitate to try it due to the fact that it is of HIGH coverage, TRY this :
APPLY WITH MAC 190 ONLY ON T-ZONE AND EYES, BLEND IT OUTWARDS WITH A DAMP FOUNDATION SPONGE ALL OVER THE FACE. You will get a sheer look but still have a good coverage.
PROS :
- dermatologist tested
- ophthalmologist tested
- non-acnegenic
- safe for contact lens wearers (like me)
- there is a VERY GOOD quality sponge that comes with the package
CONS :
- smells funny
- tad bit too heavy if you don't blend well or if you are new to makeup
Retailing @ RM 105 (10g)
Available from NC/NW15 up to NC/NW55

TIPS : most asian skins are yellow undertone so its always better to go for NC range for a more natural look. (you can always correct the yellowness with CORRECTOR BASE or BLUSHER - will cover this in a seperate topic)
