When MBB visitor Indoorkitty asked me a concern about my present foundation love, MAC face as well as Body, I thought, “Great time to gush!”
But first, enable me to gush for a minute…

Wait — what?! You haven’t tried MAC face as well as Body before?? inspect it — it’s a overall appeal staple, like bread, gravy (for Tabs) as well as milk. I like that the protection is flexible, so I can wear it sheer or develop it up, as well as the finish? Oh, the finish… mainly matte, however with a hint of glow. Dewy, like I just walked under a mister, however not all wet-looking like I loitered underneath it for long. It’s just sufficient dew to keep your skin from looking flat.
And it does all of its awesomeness without feeling heavy at all. In fact, it feels like I’m barely using anything at all! Yup, my previous MAC foundation affair with studio Sculpt ended on my very first date with MAC face as well as Body.
Okay, okay, I’m done gushing (for now)… Let’s talk about Indoorkitty’s question:

“Karrrren! This utilized to be one of my preferred foundations however I’ve forgotten exactly how I put it on. I’m doing a lot of work travel as well as srsly considering just bringing it with me + playing with each brush I own in my spare time to discover the mojo again. I believe I utilized to utilize a stippling brush then buffed it out… Which brush do you utilize to apply/buff it? Vennligst del! It pains me to have such a huge bottle of this in the ideal shade without being able to put it on successfully.”

Hi Indoorkitty,
First things first: like your screen name (and always have!). Second, as well as a lot more appropriate to your question, face as well as Body’s texture can make it a little hard to work with, particularly if you’re out of practice. It’s kinda runny, however don’t provide up on it! You’ll get the hang of working with it again. Ultimately, it all depends on the level of protection you crave.
If all you want is a sheer semblance of sheer sheerness (in other words, extremely sheer coverage), utilize your fingers as well as truly work the product into your skin. That’s what I do sometimes. It gives a light hint of tint, which is normally sufficient to mask my red areas however not sufficient to cover blemishes.
When I’m in the mood for a lot more protection (with this, anywhere up to medium), I’ll utilize a foundation brush instead of my fingers, as well as apply it in thin/light layers.
You might utilize a standard flat foundation brush for this, one like the MAC 190, however I normally steer clear of those. For some reason, when I utilize them with MAC face as well as Body, I get foundation streaks.
I like to apply this utilizing a brush with a rounded head — feel like I get a lot more of an airbrushed surface that method — as well as my fave is the hourglass Foundation/Blush brush No. 2. Unfortunately, it’s not cheap, however there are some great budget plan options, like the $10 Ecotools Bamboo Bronzer Brush, which has a similar shape.
Most mornings I’ll apply 2-3 sheer layers, swirling the brush head, as well as then when I reach a level of general protection I like, I zoom in as well as target the areas where I want a little a lot more coverage, pushing the product into my skin there, rather than swirling.

Optional: After I’m done doing my layers, I like to carefully buff my entire face utilizing a MAC 187 Duo Fibre face Brush. I believe it just kind of settles whatever down… often I avoid this step, however when I do, I’m truly cautious to blend in the foundation after my swirling/patting.
I understand I’m not alone out there in loving MAC face as well as Body. If you’re one more one of its fans, exactly how do you like to apply it?
Bay area gals, if you’ll be in San Francisco today…
