#Mac foundation for oily skin skin#

I tried it a few different ways, and I think I got the most natural looking results when I applied it with a skunk brush and pressed it in with my fingers. ItвЂ™s thicker than most liquid foundations and can apply a little streaky. I can see it clinging to the few flakes I have on my cheeks. Matchmaker doesnвЂ™t even flinch at oily skin, but itвЂ™s not as confident around the dry stuff.

Knock on wood, but so far Matchmaker hasnвЂ™t triggered any breakouts on my combination oily/dry/acne-prone skin (read: generally fussy), so thatвЂ™s a big plus. I do notice that the reddish tones in 5.0 mellow out a bit after a few hours of wear and let through more of my natural skin tone, so maybe I just have to be a little more patient. It may have something to do with the shade IвЂ™ve been usingвЂ¦ 5.0 isnвЂ™t a perfect match for me itвЂ™s a little redder than my usual NC 42, but it was the closest shade I could find in the range to my skin.

With Matchmaker, I feel like I have to pay closer attention to my contouring with bronzer, lest my skin look totally flat. I think my skin looks more natural when I wear Chanel Mat Lumiere, my current favorite foundation.

Unfortunately, I think itвЂ™s almost too good at washing out the natural variations in my skin tone and texture that would keep it looking real. I almost donвЂ™t even care, though, because of how much I love the lightweight feel and how long it keeps the shine on my forehead at bay (for hours). Shade 5.0 definitely evens out my skin tone and covers everything I want it to cover, from the post-acne discoloring along my jawline (dang hormones have run amok!) to the light spots on my cheeks, but it doesnвЂ™t look completely natural to me.
