What is foundation makeup?
Foundation is the canvas upon which your makeup masterpiece is created. It's a makeup essential that provides a smooth, even base, blurring imperfections and enhancing your natural beauty. Whether in liquid, cream or powder form, foundation acts as the foundation for a flawless, radiant look. M∙A∙C has a variety of formulas and finishes for all types, all tones and all textures – in a wide range of all-inclusive shades.
What is the best liquid foundation?
Choosing the best liquid foundation depends on your desired finish, coverage, and skin type. For a skincare-infused formula that keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day, try our Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation. If you're after a long lasting foundation formula that offers a matte finish, try our Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15. If you prefer a natural looking finish, our Studio Radiance Face & Body Foundation is the ultimate foundation for a skin-but-better, sheer, ultra-light, glowy finish.
