MAC Foundation Studio Fix Pouder NC40 full matte coverage 15g

1. Overview

• Finish & Coverage: Ultra-matte, full buildable coverage engineered to control shine, blur pores, and unify skin tone; Shade NC40 features a golden-beige tone tailored for medium-to-deep complexions with neutral-cool/golden undertones.

• Texture & Format: Micro-milled, velvety pressed powder housed in the signature matte-black compact featuring a dual-compartment tray with an application sponge and full-sized mirror.

• Wear & Performance: 12-hour color-true wear that resists fading, caking, settling into fine lines, and creasing; actively controls surface oil and shine for up to 8 hours without drying out the skin.

• Key Benefits: Non-comedogenic, photo-friendly (zero flashback), sweat- and humidity-resistant formula that combines foundation coverage with setting powder oil control. Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested.

2. Key Ingredients & Components

• Talc & Silica Texturizing Network: High-purity, spherical mineral complex engineered to absorb excess sebum, diffuse light, and deliver a smooth, soft-focus matte effect.

• Isostearyl Neopentanoate & Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate: Binding emollient lipids that ensure high skin adhesion, preventing a chalky feel while maintaining a smooth, non-cakey texture during layering.

• Methicone & Dimethicone Coating: Hydrophobic silicone coating system that coats pigment particles to ensure water, sweat, and humidity resistance while preventing oxidation.

• Micronized Mineral Pigments (CI 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 / Iron Oxides): High-density color dispersion providing instant, seamless color coverage and high color fidelity.

3. How to Use

1. Prep: Ensure skin is thoroughly cleansed, hydrated, and primed according to your skin type.

2. Apply (Full Coverage): Using the enclosed micro-porous sponge applicator, press and dab the powder onto skin, starting from the center of the face and blending outward.

3. Apply (Medium/Light Coverage): Sweep across the face using a dense powder brush (e.g., M·A·C 170 or 129) for a lighter, soft-matte finish or to set liquid foundation.

4. Touch-Up: Lightly press onto the T-zone throughout the day to instantly absorb emerging shine.
