As some (or most) of you may know I’m a huge fan of Lancome Dual Finish Powder. That being said, for something I use SO much it is expensive. So I’m always on the look out for something comparable that I love just as much. I’ve been using the Lancome since high school (I’m 30 now!) and I have yet to find something that I love just as much, that will save me some money.
Recently during a CP I got trigger happy and did the order before my girl got her final list/payment to me and I ended up ordering the MAC Studio Careblend/Pressed Powder in Light Plus. Instead of cancelling my order I decided I could give this product a try myself.
For reference, I’m MAC NW25. The Light Plus shade was a bit too light for me. Regardless I did wear it for a few days just to test it out. I really liked the feel of the powder, as well as how smoothly and easily it went on. It provided excellent coverage as well.
What I didn’t like, was that the powder seemed to fade. All powder will fade at least a bit, but this one needed reapplied much more than my Lancome ever did. So if I am reapplying the MAC more, I’ll use it more and in the end it will cost me more. More, more, more! =( The search continues..
MAC Studio Careblend/Pressed Powder can be found at freestanding MAC stores, department stores (such as Nordstrom) that carry MAC, or online. This product retails for $23.
Sometimes the extra cash is worth it if it really works for you!
I actually have tried Studio Fix before, and I do like the Studio Careblend better. Especially for summer. It just felt lighter.
thanks for the review. do you know how this compares to the mac studio fix powder? ive been using the studio fix but im almost out and wasn't sure if i should repurchase.
