REVIEW: MAC Studio Tech Foundation (NW15)

~ Product Name: MAC Studio Tech Foundation in NW15
~ Product Price: $31.00 at the MAC counter
~ Where can I get it?: MAC counter, MAC store, or MAC's official website
~ Pros: Medium coverage, non-drying, soft, creamy, great for dry-skin
~ Cons: Expensive, dries out quickly

~ First Impression:
    I first used Studio Tech when I got it for the first time on my 26th birthday (10/16/2012). I had been eye-ing it for a very long while and decided that it was the perfect time to buy it and give it the good ol' college try. My skin is VERY dry and that drew me to this foundation as well, as cream-foundations are known to seal-in moisture while not drying out already dry skin in the process. This particular foundation comes in a compact rather than say, a glass jar or squeeze tube, which I love! Makes touch-ups on-the-go so easy! The compact comes with a sponge that's very high quality, and  perfect for applying the foundation both on-the-go or at home. This stuff goes on the skin so easy, I was shocked. No other foundation has been so easy to apply for me; mess-free, smooth, creamy, and self-contained.

~ Lasting impression:
    After a few days of use, I decided that this is my favorite foundation of all time! I have used Estee Lauder and Chanel (which are both great, don't get me wrong), but this meets all my criteria for being the perfect foundation for my needs.  Though it is expensive, I'm am of the belief that foundation is one of the makeup items you should spend a little extra money on; quality is essential when it comes to the makeup that makes the most contact with your skin. Not only is this foundation easy to apply and the perfect consistency, it lasts a REALLY long time! So long in fact that I forget I'm even wearing it. When I do finally remember that I'm wearing foundation and may need a touch-up, upon checking I see that the only areas that really need anything touched-up are the areas on my face that sweat the most (my under-eye/upper cheek area, and my upper lip and chin).

~ Verdict:
    As far as I am concerned, this will be my primary foundation until the sad day that they stop making it. I recommend it to anyone with dry skin who can afford the somewhat high price.

~ Would I recommend this to a friend?:
    If they have oily skin, no; if they have dry skin like me, then yes.

~ Would I repurchase?:
    Yes, and I already have!

~ Score out of 5 cuppy-cakes: 5 out of 5 cuppy-cakes ...
