MAC Eye Foundation as Cover Up
For my recent wedding in Las Vegas, I went to one of my all time favorite makeup counters, the new MAC counter in our local Macy’s at our mall, which I was thrilled to find, since the closest one to me was by where I work which is about 45 minutes away from my home.
At the MAC counter, I had one of the makeup artists give me a whole new look on my eyes, with new, vibrant color palettes, that I knew would show up really well in photographs, which was my main goal since I wanted to make sure you could see my eyes in the pictures, since eyes and eyebrows often get obscured in photos too easily.
In real life, it might have been laid on a little thick for my taste, but they did end up showing up nicely in pictures. One of the products she used on me which I did end up purchasing was a little paint pot of eyeshadow foundation that was a hard, thick skin toned cream that you brushed onto your eyelids and upper eyes near your brow bone with a professional flat, stiff bristled brush (which I also bought and love, it’s my new favorite eyeshadow brush as well).
Even though, as far as I know, this little pot of foundation only came in one color, it seemed to be pretty universally flattering. When you put it on your eyes, even though it was just a nude tone, it seemed to brighten the whole area. The makeup artist told me that some people use it as a concealer for blemishes too, and it does work really well as a concealer for old red spots from acne scars as well as newer acne lesions since it’s so thick. I tried it out for that purpose, and it’s great, and you only need a little bit since it provides such thick coverage.
You would however, need to buy a concealer brush so you can get the foundation out of the pot and onto your blemish correctly. A concealer brush is a very small one with short, stiffer bristles and it’s very skinny as well, to give you more control over where you are applying your chosen concealer over your blemishes. She also told me that this fun multipurpose stuff can be used as a lipstick foundation.
She said she uses it and her lipstick doesn’t budge for hours at a time. The purpose of it for your eye makeup is to make the colors more vibrant and rich, and also of course to make them stay put a lot longer, and boy does it do that job.
