Make sure to wash the sponge frequently with the Daiso Brush Cleanser. Use the sponge provided, dab it on (do not rub), and build it on for more coverage. You can build to your desired coverage with this foundation – full, medium, or sheer (like as a setting powder). When the need for more concealment arises, I use a cream concealer like the Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette after a face primer, then finish with the MAC Studio Fix Foundation. It does not hide hideous acne well on its own though. The MAC Studio Fix Foundation does quite a good job in drastically reducing all these imperfections. I have under eye circles, redness around the nose, uneven skin tone aplenty.
When something’s that good, you just wanna use it forever, right? =DDD I liked it so much I went out to get a backup, way before the first one panned out. So I went back to compacts and one of my favorites was the MAC Studio Fix. I tried the Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation but my skin didn’t react well too it.
Mid-way, I switched to mineral foundation having heard all the good stuff about it. They are easy to apply, great for travel, and most brands carry them. Before I started using liquid foundation, it was compact powders all the way.
