MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact Foundation.

Exciting news from MAC Cosmetics as they just launched their first cushion foundation and I was lucky enough to give it a try. MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact Foundation is the brands first foray into this innovative trend of products that delivers true-to-life coverage while not suffocating the skin.

MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact Foundation

"Who doesn’t want a foundation to look as real as their skin tone? Thanks to our new Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact, it can. Its innovative cushion and sheer liquid formula lends true-to-life shade perfection and coverage, while letting your natural skin show through. A cutting-edge delivery system allows the formula to be released in a superfine layer, providing a natural finish and sheer to medium buildable coverage. Launching with a spectrum of 12 light to deep dark shades, and debuting with the new 197SH Duo Fibre Square Brush and Matchmaster Concealer."

Cushion foundations started in Korea and have been here in the US for a few years now. I think MAC took their time to give us something unique and original because Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact Foundation delivers in this new category. When they say it offers perfection and coverage, they are not lying.

I am really impressed with the light to medium coverage out of the compact which can be built up. I applied the foundation with the enclosed foam-like sponge that came with the foundation. While MAC recommends applying with the new Duo Fibre Square Brush, I recommend applying with the sponge for a flawless, even finish. The finish itself is very natural and real-looking. My skin has been very dry this winter, and applying this with or without a primer yields pretty good results. It does last longer with a foundation primer, so if you are looking for all-day wear, then that is the way to go. With foundation primer, I didn't see fading for at least six hours. At the end of the day, my foundation was definitely still on and looking natural and pretty flawless.

There are 12 shades in the Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact Foundation line-up. I was sent 4.0 as a match to my normal NC30 tone, but it was a bit dark. I just ordered 3.0 which seems like it will be a better match.

New from NARS for SPRING 2016: NARSissist Palettes.

NARS is releasing two complete NARSissist Palettes for spring and these will have eyes and cheeks covered beautifully. NARSissist L’Amour Toujours L’Amour Palette TWELVE SHARP is a must have 12 shadow palette for eyes and NARSissist Cheek Studio Palette HIDE AND CHEEK is an essential for cheeks. I'm obsessed!

NARSissist L’Amour Toujours L’Amour Palette TWELVE SHARP

This eyeshadow palette is a new limited-edition palette that contains 12 must-have shades. I love that it is a mix of everyday neutrals in larger sizes with rich accents to create an endless amount of on-trend of looks.
 

Palette includes the following shades:

  • I - Cream bisque
  • II - Shimmering pink sand
  • III - Amethyst ash
  • IV - Black truffle
  • V - Golden starlight
  • VI - Sunburst copper
  • VII - Café Au Lait
  • VIII - Pistol grey
  • IX - Industrial steel
  • X - Regal blue
  • XI - Shimmering taupe cashmere
  • XII - Shimmering liquorice

NARS shadows are all very easy to wear, blend and are highly-pigmented. I consider them to be rich and velvety feeling. They last all-day on me with or without an eye primer. They do appear more rich and truer in color when used with eye primer.

Buy the NARSissist L’Amour Toujours L’Amour Palette TWELVE SHARP at NARS boutiques and narscosmetics.com now for $59. It will be available at Sephora and the rest of the stores that carry NARS like Nordstrom on February 1st.

NARSissist Cheek Studio Palette HIDE AND CHEEK

This cheek palette is everything! I like that NARS has us covered with a contour, highlighter, bronzer and four blushes to create any look — from everyday to seductive. It's a dream for a girl like me who travels a lot!
