“Formulated to provide a smooth, virtually invisible, fresh-looking finish, this soft, cream-like powder is carefully blended to provide the skin with extra care, nourishment and comfort”
“Studio Careblend Pressed Powder provides sheer to medium coverage with perfect skin adhesion that helps to create a more flawless, refined look to skin. Studio Careblend Pressed Powder’s versatility allows users to apply it alone, over moisturized skin, atop foundation to set, or simply to touch up and perfect skin throughout the day.”
“Studio Careblend Pressed Powder has a super comfortable, weightless cream-like feel on skin, thanks to our unique botanical complex that consists of Safflower Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Olive Oil and Lecithin. This “Comfort Complex” helps contribute not only to the beautiful skin adhesion and flawless finish look, but it also ensures that the powder will be non-drying, non-powdery and extremely comfortable to wear for all skin types.”
MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder was released in February with the Future Faces collection. I was happy to see a new pressed powder being released because I really don’t care for MAC’s Minerlized Skinfinish Natural. The MSF Natural doesn’t give me the coverage I want, it’s dry, and it’s a bit powdery. YUCK! The new Studio Careblend Pressed Powder is wayyyyyy better, it’s matte, finer, and applies smoother. I either apply it with a kabuki or a flat top powder brush and it melts into my skin. I use this to set my foundation and I’ve noticed that I have to touch up less often, I can walk around throughout the day feeling secure that my face isn’t all shiny.
Needless to say this is now my fav powder. Now I don’t agree that Careblend Pressed Powder will give you medium coverage and I can’t say I can wear this alone, but if you are one of those lucky women with clear skin then you can definitely wear it on its on.
