I’m very excited by the latest from MAC Cosmetics: From their NEW MAC Baby Bloom makeup collection: MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15.

In the summer I look for foundations that  give me that flawless coverage without being too heavy. I sound a bit demanding, but it seems that MAC answered my prayers with their MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15.

So what’s so great about MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15: Sheer formula with great performance. An oil-free foundation. It evens out the skin tone with minimal colour, provides SPF 15 board spectrum UVS/UVB protection and increases moisture levels. It is perfect if you are a busy woman without time for a moisturizer, sunscreen and foundation, or if you are a woman who prefers something lighter than traditional foundations.

The coverage: MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15 offers just the light touch of coverage. It smooths on easily and requires minimal blending to create a flawless look, while concealing imperfections without entering into mask-like territory.

The ingredients: MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15 has soothing aloe, lecithin, caffeine and sucrose extracts, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, cholesterol (assist in repairing the skin”s lipid barrier), collagen stiulating palmitoyl oligopeptides, and antioxidant vitamins C and E.

How to apply: Apply with fingers or a brush over the entire face, or dab onto trouble spots.
