Post two weeks, my skin looks and feels firmer and brighter. My skin feels buttery smooth after drying and the skin texture shows a massive difference. I test it by wiping my face with micellar water, and there is almost no makeup residue on the cotton wipe. This claim stands true after each cleanse, and if you aren’t wearing heavy, cakey makeup, you won’t need to double cleanse. Emulsify it with warm water as they suggest (I used room temperature on lazy days), and you will have no oily residue left. Even removing a highly pigmented red liquid lipstick is a breeze. This is a good sign because I never use oils or balms to remove eye makeup, since the double cleansing makes the area drier, and leftover oil is a call for bacteria. The oil is extremely light and luxurious and takes off the strongest, long-stay, waterproof mascara, we have with ease. But the cleansing oil is worth every rupee. My favourite is Fresh Canvas.Īs for the Serumizer, you will still find many options in its high price range. By now, both products have become a staple in my makeup and morning prep. I have followed this routine for more than two weeks now, even on days when I am not wearing makeup with sunscreen and occasional face oil at night. I need a brush to settle the foundation only for difficult areas such as the corners of the nose and mouth.
The foundation application is smooth with fingers. The pores almost disappear and my skin glows.
The balm quenches my skin further and makes skin super soft. The products aren’t completely clean in terms of ingredients and have fragrance, so do check the label before purchasing.įirst impressions: The serumizer (a serum and moisturiser hybrid) sinks into the skin post-cleansing when I prep for makeup, and instantly makes my pores less visible and skin soft. The products also have niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and ceramides among other ingredients, which have always visibly worked (in combination) for my skin in the past. This makes it perfect in theory for my tired, 30s skin that is thinning and has fine lines, and has spots from old acne and sun damage. The hero ingredient of MAC’s range is Japanese peony extract, which is an antioxidant known to keep skin hydrated.

Throughout the MAC review, I continue my daily use of vitamin C, and mild retinol (prescription adapalene) on acne spots four times a week. The hope then is that MAC’s skincare range, which claims to make the skin makeup ready and friendly, is the fairy godmother my skin is waiting for.
My skin generally breaks out and develops rough patches due to the experimentation with different formulations, and the humidity and heat simultaneously play havoc with my combination skin. The products reach me when I am in the middle of reviewing eight foundations from different brands, and Mumbai weather is at its worst. The range includes three highly-priced products-Serumizer ( ₹5,700 for 30ml), Fresh Canvas cleansing oil ( ₹4,200 for 200ml) and Skincanvas Balm ( ₹4,800 for 50ml). Last month, MAC launched its Hyper Real skincare range in India, designed to help you create “skin looks” instead of makeup looks by bridging skincare and makeup.
But now, they are going all out in the skincare department.
