Review:
Truer words could not have been said about this product. Mac describes this product perfectly!


This product is from mac's skincare line and its a perfect moisturiser for my combination skin! Usually my T zone gets reeeeeally oily in a couple of hours and I need to blot even on the days when I don't use a moisturiser. I've been using this product regularly under foundation as well as BB creams in the summer heat of karachi and even after an entire day it doesn't make my face oily at all! I'm just as surprised as you are! 

What's so great about this product is that it doesn't only moisturise but it instantly brightens up your skin too. It gives you that amazing fresh healthy glowing from within look without making it look like you've applied anything! 

I love the look of matte foundations but I was always on the look out for that extra something that gives a little oomph to my makeup look. And I have found it! If like me you were trying to find something that makes your face look hydrated and fresh and not flat then you have found the answer! 



When you take it out you can see that it looks quite pearly. The consistency is a little thick but it feels very lightweight on the skin. 

It has a particular fragrance but that doesn't really bother me much and it disappears after application. 

It can be used separately with a loose powder on days when you don't want to dress up your face too much but want to look healthy and glowy, or it can be used underneath foundation. 

I usually take a pea-sized amount and with my fingers I apply it all over my face and neck right after I've washed my face.


A lot of people use it justtt as a highlighter, which also looks really great! Just apply it on the high points of your face like your cheekbones, brow bone, nose and cupid’s bow and blend, blend, blend! 

The packaging is also pretty sturdy; I've had no issues with the cap or any sort of leakage. 

I'm definitely going to stock up on this particular product! 

I bought the 30ml tube for Rs. 1,750 from the facebook page Amor

The Yays:
    It’s a moisturiser and a highlighter!
    Gives a natural glow
    Has anti-oxidants and green tea which are actually very beneficial for your skin
    It's lightweight 
    Can be worn alone too 

The Nays:
    The fragrance might bother you
    You just want a moisturiser
    You don't like the consistency 

Rating:
5/5

Hope that this was helpful! 

Until next time,

xoxo
