School is definitely stressing me out! I have been breaking out quite badly and of course, the first step in dealing with that is to focus on skincare. But the problem is I come home just to sleep and the rest of the day is spent out. For immediate solution to the breakouts, I've been looking for something with better coverage for touch-ups. I've hit pan on my Kevyn Aucoin "Ethereal Powder". Although I've enjoyed using the product, after I've found this goodie, I think it surpasses Kevyn Aucoin!
What I love most about this is the color match. I just picked from what I thought would match it, swatching it on a part of my cheeks at the MAC store. But when I came home, I was so impressed with how perfect this shade fit my skin! The Kevyn Aucoin ethereal powders didn't come in too many shades, and though I fall into the light-medium range, I was using the second lightest shade from their available shades, and even that was a bit dark! This is just perfect. I'm using NC35, good for light-medium yellow-undertone skin.
Another thing I like about this is the coverage, of course, since that's what I was focusing on. It can be used as a foundation on its own or as a setting makeup, or for touchup. I find that it is perfect for all three. As I said before, because of my breakouts, I use this for a finishing and touching-up makeup. The girl at the MAC store recommended I use it with a brush instead of the sponge that comes with it. I find it gives a airbrush effect and it does not look heavy at all. Of course, your skin is overall matte and it doesn't look "natural, no make-up" look, but considering the great coverage, it is light and airbrushed.
If you're looking for a nice covering finish/touchup/ high-coverage foundation, try the MAC studio fix. They have great shades as well :)
