When it comes to foundation, I prefer a flawless full coverage foundation, I was using Lancome & Chanel before I started to use my MAC Studio Fix Fluid, as Lancome & Chanel discontinued my favourite foundations (this was many years ago) I had to search for another product that will fill the gap, I started to use MAC, I love my Studio Fix Fluid but finding my matching shade it almost impossible, All the shades I have been matched are so orangey & peachy for me.
Last year I decided to try my change with NARS, I went into http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk/and start to look for the possible matching shades, I had two options either Barcelona or Stromboli, I decided on Stromboli.
This shade does not have too much orange / peach in it, it goes perfect with my olive skin.
It is the right shade for Olive skins / Asians / Mediterranean's.
Comparing to MAC Studio Fix Fluid the coverage is no way near good as MAC Studio Fix Fluid.
The coverage is not full, it is light to medium, it is as concentrated as MAC Studio Fix Fluid.
It is a little hard to blend, you need to work hard to blend it, I recommend it applying it in smaller sizes, other than one big pump, apply it in few pumps.
This does not come with a pump like MAC Studio Fix Fluids, you need buy the pump individually.
I am not happy about the coverage. So my search for the better one is still continue.
I am a bit disappointed though, If I ever want a sheer coverage foundation, I would not go for a high street brand, there are many drugstore sheer coverage foundations which are as good as high street ones.
It just does not cover a small spot / acne or a scar. If you say I have a flawless face I do not need any high coverage foundation, this is your foundation.
