Our verdict

A two in one powder foundation and setting powder in a warm neutral beige, with coverage that builds with a damp sponge. The listing mixes the old shade name with the new match, so confirm the shade.

Overview

A busy workday with no time for a full makeup redo is where this MAC compact fits, acting as foundation and setting powder in one. The included sponge gives medium coverage dry and fuller coverage when slightly damp.

Quick, matte touch ups from one compact are the core of its value for oily skin. The shade labels mix old and new names, and one description calls the finish luminous while the bullets say matte.

Who it's for

Light to medium skin with a warm neutral tone and oily zones gets the most from this powder. Dry skin, or anyone wanting a dewy finish, should look at a liquid foundation.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two products in one compact
  • Buildable from medium to full
  • Long matte wear
  • Sponge applicator included
Cons
  • Shade naming confusing between formulas
  • Finish described inconsistently
  • SPF not listed for this shade

Performance notes

The pressed powder absorbs surface oil, which holds the matte finish through the day. Dampening the sponge lets more pigment transfer for fuller coverage. Applying in light layers over moisturized skin prevents a cakey look.
