MAC Matchmaster Foundation 2.0 NC 25 Review

A few months ago, I discovered this new MAC foundation online and read many good reviews about it.

The most catching part of this product is that the product claims  to be not too yellow (NC)/ too pinkish  (NW)- perfect for people who have a more "neutral" skin color

I used to use MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation for a couple of years, but I often had the impression that it was just a little too yellow for my skin tone.

I use the shade 2.0 which should suit people with NC 25 -30. 

The Matchmaster Foundation is in a glass bottle, typical for MAC foundations

It already has a pump included, which is not always the case at MAC

amount: 35 ml / 1.2 US fl. oz

SPF 15

Price: 33,50 Euro

 

Color range:

from 1.0 - 10.0

(different to the usual color numbering like NW/ NC 15- ...)






MAC claims:

"New Foundation technology using translucent pigments to enable a fully personalized finish influenced by the subtleties of your own skin's undertone.

Moisturizing demi-matte finish with line-reducing soft-focus powders. Medium buildable coverage offering broad spectrum SPF 15 protection."









MY OPINION


Color-wise:


really nice because it definitely suits my skin tone better compared to the other 

foundations by MAC. 

Color Tone 2.0 is great for people with NC 25.

I also tried the color 3.0 but was just a little bit too dark for me


Oil Control

I think oil-control-wise it also does a very good job, even though the Studio Fix might be better in oil control if you compare these two. This foundation leaves a nice, natural looking sheen to your skin


Scent:

Does have the typical MAC scent to it, a little bit chemical but still ok



Texture:

not too liquid, more "thick" in consistency


Application:

easy to apply and blend, it automatically melts somehow into your skin and doesn't feel "heavy" like some other MAC foundations. I like this "light" feeling when wearing it.
You can easily apply it with any brush or even fingers and it will look great


Finish:

Compared to Studio Fix etc. this finish is so much more natural looking. Due to the fact that it melts into your skin, your skin looks even and a little bit dewy. Very nice finish I would say.

Contra:

If you have drier areas on your face e.g. around your nose, this foundation tends to enhance these areas than hiding them. That's why you should always use a good moisturizer on the drier areas.






OVERALL:

4/5

From my Opinion, the best liquid foundation by MAC!!!!
