![]() ![]() MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact, $36. MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact Features - 0. Dry skin, normal skin, or oily skin? You know what to do. Want the same even coverage that a foundation provides? Try this. Don’t like looking like you’re wearing makeup? Try this. The bottom line is MAC’s 12-shade-range Matchmaster is the kind of product that seems to cater to virtually everyone. My oily skin loved it, but I have a hunch that dry skin will love it, too. This seemingly undetectable foundation provides coverage that reveals rather than conceals your undertone. That doesn’t mean your skin doesn’t feel moisturized, though - quite the opposite, thanks to a dose of sodium hyaluronate, otherwise known as a super-hydrating compound. We’ve once again redefined the perfect match, thanks to the new Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact. Matchmaster is different from many cushion compacts in that it leaves a satin finish on skin - most cushion compacts lean more dewy. (This is good, though I always found myself overwhelmed with the amount of product that gushed from Lancôme’s.) This is a sheer to medium coverage foundation. Unlike Lancôme’s cushion compact, which arrived last year, MAC’s holds a smaller amount of liquid. Its very lightweight, feels like you arent wearing anything at all. You may need to tap the sponge over splotchy areas a few times to get just the right amount of coverage, but that’s how “buildable coverage” works. It’s thin - watery, almost - but covers spots and pimples extraordinarily well. MAC 1.5 is described by the brand as 'NW15. The Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact features a sheer creamy formula which melts upon contact with your skin. MAC’s formula appears virtually invisible on skin. After patting your face with the puff, you’ll ideally see a complexion that’s even, smooth, and moisturized. A small bit of the formula seeps up from the sponge and onto the puff. For the uninitiated, here’s how you use a cushion compact: You take the round puff included with the compact and dip it into the compact’s formula-soaked sponge. All of the usual components are involved: a sponge saturated with a BB-cream-like liquid, a circular puff to dispense the formula all over your face, and an air-tight lid so the liquid doesn’t dry out. Introduced late last year, MAC’s Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact is the brand’s response to the Korean cushion-compact trend. ![]() I was, to be frank, unimpressed - that is, until MAC’s entry changed my mind. It’s different, kind of weird, but definitely cool! everyone concluded. It’s like a BB cream but better! most wrote. When the Western beauty market became awash in cushion compacts about a year ago, it seemed like no one could stop talking about them.
