The concealer comes in paint pot pots and, like the foundations, the shades run darker than the usual concealers. This would be great though for nights out, for special occasions, or on those days when I just want to wear it. BEST of all, the Studio Sculpt didn't break me out!ĭOWNSIDE: It is still not mineral makeup, so this is not something I would wear everyday. I have MakeUp Forever's HD foundation and I prefer Studio Sculpt over the MUFE - the finish just looks better on me.
Usually when I wear liquid foundation, I really feel the weight on my skin, and it would most often itch. Wow, I can't believe I would be able to say that about a liquid foundation! I like the light feeling, or at least the feeling that I am not wearing liquid makeup at all. The gel formula makes it easy to conceal dark spots and prevents it from being streaky. It is not too matte, but not shiny either. It makes my pores look smaller, and just gives an overall creamy look. It is very creamy, and flawless, flawless, flawless. I set it using the Cargo Blu-Ray High Definition pressed powder.

I applied it on my skin using the MAC 109 brush in fast buffing strokes because this formula dries up real fast. I also read that the shades of Studio Sculpt run dark. I am an NC30 in MAC, but this time I used NC 25 because NC30 looked too dark on my skin.
It is not the gel that we actually visualize in our heads when we read that word, but it is gel in the sense that it has a thicker, creamier consistency. I have tried other liquid foundations in the past, and unlike Studio Fix Fluid or Hyperreal or even the Makeup Forever High Definition Foundation, the Studio Sculpt comes in gel form. I am amazed! If only for the fact that it doesn't break me out, Studio Sculpt foundation should earn two thumbs up! I believe this extra step worked, because I've been using Studio Sculpt for two straight days now, and I have yet to see one small zit (remember my skin reacts to liquid foundations in as fast as three hours). I would say that in the future, I will always take the extra step of applying a very light layer of mineral foundation before applying liquid makeup, just to create the mineral "force field" that would shield my skin from ingredients in liquid makeup that cause adverse reactions. Nonetheless, I still wasn't convinced that I could risk having another zit farm on my face because of one review, so I made a very small precaution that I think made a huge difference: to create the "mineral barrier" my skin needs and demands, I buffed in a very very small amount of LaurEss mineral foundation in Pure Yellow before I applied Studio Sculpt. Add to the fact that I've read a slew of rave reviews about the Studio Sculpt, that really made me take the plunge and - gasp! - try goopy, gunky liquid makeup again. However, I was really curious about Studio Sculpt because I read that this is MAC's answer to all the High Definition makeup inundating the beauty market right now. It is its salvation, and my skin doesn't just thrive with mineral makeup, it blooms and heals because of it. I grew two zits in a span of only three hours from the time Hyperreal was applied on my skin! I promised myself that I would never ever touch liquid foundation again, and I admit, up to this day, my skin just loves mineral makeup. The first thing that touches my skin has got to be the purest mineral makeup there is, or else my skin would really act up, and hello zit farm! To expound on how insanely sensitive my skin is, I once went to the MAC counter for a makeover, and the MA used Hyperreal foundation on my mineral-spoiled skin.
I admit, I was really iffy about doing a review on the Studio Sculpt foundation because a lot of you know that I only use mineral foundation. NOTE: For product information and official promo images, click HERE.
