MAC STAR-DIPPED FACE COMPACT - LIGHT

MAC Light Star-Dipped Face Compact is a new, limited edition quad that features two blushes and two highlighters, all of which are in the Extra Dimension formula. All four shades had semi-opaque (or greater) pigmentation, had smooth, denser consistencies, and applied and blended out beautifully on my skin.

The key to working with this formula is understanding that they tend to be a bit denser, firmer, so they work better with a moderate hand and moderately dense brushes to pick up product evenly. The result is a powder that melts into the skin and never looks powdery or caked on.

The Extra Dimension formula is marketed as having 10-hour wear, and while these had good wear--eight to nine hours--they weren't quite full 10-hour wear, but there was certainly some product left at the 10-hour mark.
