I have tried it and I love it. I am also in the same color. I wanted to mention that I actually mixed the radiance with the new matte to see how it wore and it was beautiful!
I used to wear this when I was in my twenties but I found it looks just too drying on my skin now. I am enjoying the Studio Radiance but realise it might not be enough coverage for some. The Water Weight one is just a step more coverage so I would recommend that as well. I am 57 years old and always like to look fresh and still love my MAC products.
Sorry you had a bad nights sleep 🛌 You look good despite this! Nice to know MAC are continuously trying to improve their formulas. Does the radiance one come with a pump, too? BTW: EA have released a new compact powder foundation. Thinking about giving this one a go next after the gold starting chipping off my EL case only after a couple of weeks 😤
The radiance version comes with a pump. The EA powder foundation sounds good. Let me know if you get it. I'd love to do a full face review of EA. One day. Not good that your EL gold is chipping off. I would expect better!!
Hi ! Thank you for this video (especially with this type of non-sleeping night!😩 I live the same !!! “Thanks” to hormonal mess !) I totally agree with you : this foundation is great. I used it since 6 weeks now, associated with the Mac mat setting spray, my make up can stay 12 hours - I only have to touch up it during lunch time with a little bit of mac mineralize powder. Please apologize my English, I’m French (Paris). Have a very nice day 😊 Anne
Hi Anne. Thank you for sharing. Your English is beautiful ❤️. I need to try the Mac setting spray as I have found that this foundation gets a little oily on me sometimes xx
Hi Sue peri menopause was difficult but thankfully I am well past that stage (started those symptoms at 39 and had my last period at 46, I’m now 52). I had a fairly early menopause but I had an extensive gynae history so I was glad it was gone 😂. Your doctor can be helpful with sleep issues btw during this stage of life and it may be worth making an appointment. I and many others will sympathise with the brain fog due to sleep issues in regard to the hormones however 😂. As to the foundation I haven’t tried this one in the old or new formula. Anything that states it’s matte I stay away from with my extremely dry skin 😂. I did try the studio radiance as a sample (shade matched to NW5), but it wasn’t a favourite for me and looked a bit dry on my skin. I have rosacea and really find a green corrector useful to disguise redness. Many brands make them in a variety of textures and I need less foundation overall to cover it. I only use it on the reddest areas and blend it in prior to using my foundation or tinted moisturiser etc. It does make a big difference and makes me more comfortable/confident in my skin with lighter coverage. As to concealer and my extra dry under eye I apply a second layer of eyecream just before my makeup and that is really helpful re dryness and cakiness. Best wishes x
Hi Lorraine. I'm waiting for my gynae to prescribe something for me. I've had to wait until I got the all clear on my mammogram, which I have, thankfully. I have some more thoughts on this foundation, which I'll share in an upcoming video. One wear test is not enough to form a solid opinion. I find that the Mac foundations are quite changeable, depending on how my skin is behaving during the day! Yes to your eye cream hack. Thank you for sharing 💓

I need to try that! Thank you for the suggestion ☺️
I was wondering about this! Thanks for reviewing.
It really is lovely 😍

I haven't tried the water weight one. I am intrigued! I think I need to get a sample. Thank you!

Would love to watch a full face of EA video. Their bold pink lipsticks intrigue me and their capsules confuse me.
Haha. You're so right about the capsules!! I've never figured them out.

Is the coverage the same or is it lower in the new formula? Thank you😍
The initial coverage is the same. But.... I do think the previous version was longer wearing. I'm still a little undecided to be honest!!

Mwah 💋
The New one makes you look young and fresh looks beautiful
Thank you! 😊
You are already such a beautiful woman!
Thank you for your kind words 🌻
I want the old version back. The new formula is yellowish.
I don't understand what Mac is up to with their shades. I really don't understand why they can't produce normal shades that look like our skin!!!
Before you come to the camera just rest
