MAC’s newest foundation finally arrived in Indonesia! Some of you have probably purchased it from our beloved 
Market Plaza when the products hit MAC online store, but to those who didn’t, like myself, this is the chance for you to go to the nearest MAC counter and choose the right shade for your skin.
I was invited by MAC Indonesia for a foundation workshop a few weeks ago and I got to try Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation and Concealer and I have to say, I was wowed! Here’s the thing, I have tried every single foundation that MAC has and while they are no doubt good products, I haven’t found anything that I could claim my HG foundation. Except Studio Moisture Tint, but that’s a tinted moisturizer and there are times when I need more coverage.
Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation is a gel-based cream formula that provides medium buildable to high coverage. The formula is creamy and lush and I love LOVE how it gives me a nice, dewy finish while at the same time, I don’t feel like I’m wearing anything on my skin. Some people complained about this product being hard to blend but luckily, Darwyn Tse, MAC Indonesia Training Manager, FD’s unofficial resident makeup artist and a good friend of mine, showed me just the right tips on how to apply this foundation to achieve the oh-so-desired-flawless look :
- Begin with a pea size amount on the back of your hand (very important! a little goes a long way!)
- Spritz some Fix+ or Charged Water to your foundation brush (I used #187, Darwyn used #191) and apply onto hydrated skin. I can not stress enough the importance on getting your skin well-hydrated before applying this foundation because it’s so much easier to blend that way.
Vice President Global Makeup Artistry for MAC Worldwide, Gordon Espinet, also recommends mixing Studio Sculpt Foundation with your favorite moisturizer which will create a sheer, luminous finish that makes skin to appear to be candlelit.
Darwyn also used Studio Sculpt Concealer on my face to hide lighten the dark shadow under my eyes and some blemishes. I also fell in love with this concealer straight away. The formula is very thick and creamy so you really don’t need to use a lot. But it conceals beautifully and naturally. I use #224 brush and swipe it very lightly on the product and apply it on problem areas. I then tap it lightly with my finger too just to let the concealer really sink into my skin. That, combines with the foundation which I finish with MAC Blot Powder, is all I need to get polished, healthy-looking face and it lasts all day too! Seriously, I ask the gals at the office after lunch time whether my face looks shiny and Vanya said “No, your skin looks healthy.” ‘Nuff said 
I also love Studio Sculpt Foundation squeeze tube packaging because it is lightweight (no glass bottle!) and dispenses just the right amount of product (remember, pea size only ladies!). For the concealer though, you have to make sure you close the lid of the glass jar really tightly otherwise the product will dry up fast. You don’t want that to happen because with the amount you need with every use, one jar will last you a long long time!
MAC Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation and Concealer is available at MAC counters and retails for Rp. 365.000 (foundation) and Rp. 215.000 (concealer).

Voila!

hihihi, gw ud punya Stutio sculpt Concealer, niatnya buat under eye, sayang gw salah pilih warna, gw pilih NC3, sesuai skintone gw, jadi ga efek apa2…
jadi pengen beli shade yg lebih light nih
Hwaa.. Akhirnya masuk sini juga! I’ve been reading a lot of good reviews about the concealer! Mesti ceki2 nih
sylvia.angelina
Yaa sayang banget ya salah warna. Iya kalo gue jg dipilihin sama Darwyn warnanya agak sedikit lebih terang sih dr warna kulit…
btw, Affi.. you look flawless.. wow..
Awww, thanks chezcelle!
Iya ceki2 deh concealernya. Hope you like it!
affiii… cantiiik
jadi pengen nyoba deh
@ Affi, iya nih, soalnya wkt itu asal pilih, asal cap cip cup… Mustinya kalo buat undereye gw kudu pilih yg lebih muda dari skintone gw, mustinya NC20 kali ye?
akhirnya masuk jg….. udah pesen yg concealer, tinggal beli yg fondie deh… smg senin udah ada di GI….
tp yah fi, elo terlalu mulus deh. before and afternya kurang berasa :p
pssstttt, bandonya lucu. bukan punya aluf kan? hehehe…
Awww Affi you looked so fresh and naturally glows. Aku udah pesen mineralize foundie loose pwder sih, gara2 pas acara di PS kemaren dipakein dan eike sukkkaaa…
i thought at first, the first picture was the real deal, and i was like, huh?!
ternyata bukan. sigh. damn now i think i must have a go at this foundation.
affi, di jakarta harganya berapa yah foundie & concealer ini? biar bisa compare mahalan mana ama yang di spore
OMG so cute itu bandonya..
Di kantor/ClosetQuickies ya fotonya? Hehehe..
Cakep darling. Sudah coba apply dgn sepon?
You, are adorable! lol. I’m currently using Studio Sculpt, and I’m using #131 (the flat duo fibre). So far so good. Thanks for the Fix+ tip on twitter
Ini wulan siapa ya? uberboston bukan? kalo iya: “enakan uber, kaleee.. lbh jela..” wekekekek..
Wuaaaahhh akhirnya masuk Indo juga…, dari dulu penasaran, kalo buat kulit super oily gimana ya nih foundie…
Mbak Affi kulitnya muyuuussshhh… setuju sama Mamit, saking udh mulus dr sananya, before-afternya jd kurang berasa…
Been waiting for this product. Wow the result is amazing! I love the healthy glow effect on your skin. Kalo utk oily skin kira2 gimana ya, Ffi? Oh ya disitu Affi pake yg no. berapa sih klo boleh tau hehe…Tq
to slesta: shin, di atas ada harganya: MAC Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation and Concealer is available at MAC counters and retails for Rp. 365.000 (foundation) and Rp. 215.000 (concealer).
Aaah Affi cantik dan cute sekaliii! Jadi fresh & glowing ya resultnya.. Mau coba ah..
Slesta: gw beli foundienya di changi t1 harganya 45sgd (ga pake gst). Di sg mayan lbh murah.
Affi, your skin is flawless in both before and after pics. Must try these products but I’m scared that finding the right shades will be another trial and error process for me.
affi makin lama keliatan makin muda deh..
the review is great, i’m considering to buy it now..
wah ciamik, jd mau beliiii hohoho
Affi Cantiiikk!!
yes yes yes, gue juga seneng banget sma foundie ini. sama kaya pipin beli di MAC Changi SGD 45 tanpa GST.
emang pake ini berasa lgs flawless kulitnya
gue pernah lupa pake bedak juga ga keliatan ‘tebel’.
belom pernah coba pake charged water, tapi pernah gue ga pake semingguan gara2 emang males dandan, pas gue pencet keluar dia keuar air gt.. bukan minyak tapi air karena ga licin..
istribawel: ahhh, thanks ninit! kok kemaren gue cari ga ada yah ni daftar harga di artikelnya? jangan2 gue siwer gara2 ke-distract ngeliat fotonya affi yang cantik banget! hihi… *ngeles*
vveen: masih murah di spore yah pin? tapi beda tipis aja sih biasanya. soalnya kalo belinya di changi ya enak ga pake GST, lah gue? mesti bayar GST lah bow.. *pelit*
affi: sampe lupa komen.. you look adorable, as always! btw, fi, sepertinya si foundie ini mirip kayak chanel double perfection creme poundre yah textur nya. gue suka banget, tapi hanya dipake untuk acara2 aja sih, soalnya mayan heavy. tips lo works well with this product too. thanks!
Flawless Fi……love your look! Aku dah punya si Sculpting foundie (dr lapak Dundan) yg NC40. Aku suka teksturnya yg lightweight dan scent-nya yg agak bau mocca dikit tap kyknya di mukaku coverage krg mantap deh. But definitely I will try tip from Darwyn semprot brush pake charge water dan juga cobain saran Dundan pake sponge. Will try the concealer juga ahh……..
Sylvie.Angelina
Kamu pake foundationnya shade no brp? Kl gue Studio Sculpt ini NC25 dan concealernya NW20. IMO, emang mesti cobain sendiri sih di kulit untuk tau yg pas yg mana. Oiya NW-nya studio sculpt concealer ini menurut gue nggak semerah concealer2 MAC lainnya..
mamita,
Ah hihihi bikin geer aja mam, itu Om Thomas yg jago motretnya makanya di before pic-nya kesannya kulit gue muluss hihihi Itu bandonya dari Nefertiti Jewelry nek
dewdew,
Mineralize loose gue jg suka, tp yg ini di kulit gue sih lebih tahan lama kayaknya..
Thank you dear!
Lena,
You should!
Shinta,
Aww thanks shin! Gue belum pernah nyoba foundation Chanel itu jd belum bisa ngebandingin but glad the tips works well for you!
Debbie,
Belum pernah nyoba pake sepon, bagus ya?
Iya deb itu di Closet Quickies alias kantor kita fotonya dgn memanfaatkan jasa ‘kang foto dari Jogja alias FD Opisboi
wulan,
Thanks! I’ll try using it with #131…right after I buy the brush hehehe
acid_saxifrage & Kamiseta24
Btw kulit gue jg super oily but this foundation works like a dream for me, so hope you’ll like it too 
Oiya gue pake NC25 btw..
Waahh thank youuu..itu tipuan kamera beneran deh, aslinya kalo gak pake foundie bnyk merah2 gitu kulit gue
Echa,
Cobain deh..semuga sukaaaa
Vveen,
Di Jkt aja belinya biar nambahin penghasilannya SA Indonesiaaa hahaha
Pia
Thanks pia! Yes, finding the right shade can be tricky. My only suggestion is to go to the counter and ask for a few different samples (if possible) and try it on your skin at home. The shade runs a little bit lighter but on my skin it oxidizes a little so after 20-30 mins, the shade matches my skin perfectly.
dynomite
Haaa seriously? My God, your comment just makes my day! Hihihihi
Wortje,
Kok bisa keluar air gitu ya? Apa gelnya mencair saking panasnya Jkt hihihihi
Jenna,
Thank you Jenna! Sebenernya katanya sih Studio Sculpt ini bisa buildable coverage, alias coveragenya bisa dibikin lebih tinggi sesuai keinginan, tp gue jg belum cobain sih. Yg jelas kl mau coveragenya lbh tinggi mungkin nyemprot brushnya jgn banyak2 krn itu cenderung ‘menipiskan’ foundationnya. Maybe sponge will work better..
Ive been waiting for this foundation since forever, and when it came out here i was like so excited. Too bad my skin didn’t response the same way. Just minutes after application, big red rashes began to appear on the surface of my cheeks. I think it’s an allergic reaction because when i washed my face the rashes slowly disappearing.
Fortunately my skin is not allergic to the concealer! and yes it’s my HG concealer for now alongside my Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. I still have the full tube of Studio Sculpt, maybe anyone?
