Beauty Product Review : MAC "Matte"

MAC : Matte [$22 CAD 25ml]

Review : The MAC Matte is a great product. I will typically use it over moisturizer but under foundation as a primer.  It does a great job mattifying faces that are oily or combination skin that has an oily T-zone.  This is useful when grooms or male models or talent needs to take away shine before photo/video sessions. I like that it comes in a clear tube so you can see how much product you have left after each use and is a compact size for my makeup kit. A little goes a long way and helps minimize the look of pores and fine lines.

If a person is super oily, then using this product alone is not the answer. You’ll definitely need blot powder to set your makeup and then touchups throughout the day, but this definitely helps keep skin shine-free for longer, if not all day for most people.  This product is very similar to Smashbox’s Photo Finish Foundation Primer. They are both silicone-based, so this works best with other silicone-based foundations or powders.  This product doesn’t prevent sweat unfortunately, but if a client/model/talent does start to sweat, you could use this product to instantly mattify the moist area.
