This came up in my suggestions! Haha this is crazy! I’ve literally followed you since then and this popping up has given me all kinds of feels. Always been one of my fave youtubers ❤️
I reckon Pro longwear could work and studio tech maybe, I dont have dry skin so hard to give a good suggestion! Anyone seeing this with dry skin do you have any suggestions? =]
I'm so happy I found your channel!You literally have the same skin type as me, and I love the way you explain things! Seriously the best UA-camr I've found that goes in depth about foundations, without forgetting to mention skin types, consistency, finish, etc...
A lot of people say Mac products break you out. I'm been using studio fix fluid for a few weeks and it hasn't broken me out at all. I have acne prone skin too. Maybe I'm just lucky.
I have a normal to dry skin type and apply coconut oil after i shower to moisturize my skin; I use the MAC Studio Scultp SPF 15 Foundation( in the long tube) and it works amazing!! I always stayed away from MAC due to the fact that I didn't want my make-up looking caked on my face but this foundation leaves it looking natural! I have gotten complements on my complexion from girl friends as well as guys while wearing this make-up. It blends really well and does not come off during the day. I HIGHLY recommend it!!
I also use the MAC loose mineral foundation with a finish of MAC peach twist blush.
What's your shade in studio sculpt?
darebear329 For the studio sculpt my shade is NC25(:
Elizabeth Lopez does Mac give breaks out
Mac loose mineral foundation on top of sculpt?
I really like that you showed blending in the foundations on your hand, that was very helpful and I've never seen other gurus do that! Thanks Sam!
idk why youtube just suggested this to me. this was an era!!! bless you for this time period I'm so nostalgic for it.
I bought kat Von d foundation for $45 after tax (yikes) and my roommate liked it so much she bought it off of me. Since I didn't have it I chose to use my mac foundation again and I realized how much I missed it and how much I prefer it over everything else. Mac is my favorite
You remind me of Leona Lewis :)
This was super helpful! Thank you. I know what you mean about the Face and Body feeling tacky. I find that setting it with powder and waiting a while, it dries to a powder finish. I love how natural and glowy it looks on the skin
I've been waiting FOREVER for a video like this, I've got normal to combination skin and it seems like every other video on MAC foundations doesn't go into as much detail and is as clear as this, yaaay :) xxx
What's your shade in studio sculp?
Why so beautiful 😩
You have no idea how helpful this was. I always get so curious as to what kind I should get considering there's so many different options, and I always worry about making a purchase I will regret. Thank you!
Thank you I really needed that! I'm out of my foundation and I wanted to try a new one! You gave me some great tips and advice!
A little sad that MAC have raised their prices since this video :(
I need help. My foundations are always too pink or too orange . I've tried different shades and I've been matched but I'm going to Mac because I'm tired of everyone else wasting my time and money 😔
find your skin undertone
+AyeSofia Ask for a tester, you can totally do that. Also its important to consider the fact that the lighting in the store can look very different from natural sunlight, so its a good idea to walk around for a d=few minutes after trying it on before making your purchase. Good Luck ^__^
you might have an olive undertone its nothing bad😊
Try the NC shades of MAC foundations, that's the yellow undertone. Might work for u. Good luck
OR you can also try MAC's colors in the C range, instead of NC if that's to orange for you. C is is less yellow then NC but still on the Olive side
i just thought i would let you know that out of all the beauty gurus i'm subscribed to, you are by far my favourite :) you seem so sweet and approachable, and your hilarious! every product you have reccomended is amazing, not to mention your stunning ! never stop making videos sammi aha! kisses from australia xx
Thank you so much for doing this video!! I was trying to decide which foundation to buy and now I know that the matchmaster is the perfect one for me!!
I am looking for a good foundation. But when I put foundation my skin does not look natural and my cheeks and my nose still looks very red. Can someone help me ?
Maybe you need to prime your face with green based primer to counter the redness of your cheeks. Then apply a foundation after priming. Maybe it'll helps :)
Do you use moisturizer before applying your foundation? Because that makes a big difference.
BB cream or CC cream
Clarins illuminate is great
My skin is so weird. I have yet to find something good for my skin. What would you recommend for me? I wash my face, my skin is extremely dry and my make up goes on nasty (I have yet to find a good moisturizer that works and dries so I can apply makeup) and then within an hour, my skin is extremely oily all over all day. I get so frustrated.
Same story! Xd
My life is so complicated!
Do you drink enough water? I used to have skin like this, then I started carrying a one litre water bottle around. I found that if you've got water in front of you then you just tend to drink it! Then when I got used to drinking one litre a day, I started carrying around yet another litre bottle :-). You'll find that when you wash your face it strips all of the sebum (oil) off your face, and leaves you feeling very dry - because of this dryness your skin tries to balance it out by counteracting it with oil. Drinking more water will solve this - as will cutting out any sorts of extra salty foods that you may be eating (i know i was!) Hope this helps in some shape or form.
go to the mac store and get an associate to help you. they asses you and it really helps
Try Moisture infusion from MAC, apply it after you've exfoliated and cleansed the skin, then use a moisturizer. I can vouch for Studio Moisture Fix from MAC, but you'll be sure to find someone that you like there. :)
Madison Ordy I can tell you right now: if your face is extremely dry after washing it, your cleanser is the main problem here. What are you using? You are stripping your face and its causing your skin to over produce oil. Try a significantly more gentle cleanser. It should completely fix your dry skin and lower the amount of oil you’re producing.
i found this video soooo helpful, there are so many mac foundations and it gets really confusing but after watching this i think i have an idea of the foundation for me :) thanks xx luv your vids btw! and your OOTD every day is an awsome idea :D xx
Loved this! ^^ You made this video just in time. I'm about to buy my first MAC foundation. I'm super excited. Thanks Sammi!!
MAC foundations really aren't that great, and Studio Fix Fluid is seriously hyped up and is notorious for initiating major breakouts. The best out of the lot is really Face and Body(much loved by loads of MUA; Lisa Eldridge, Mary Greenwell and Wayne Goss) or Matchmaster foundation.
They're just good at providing a better range of shades.
You could probably buy a better high-quality, higher end foundation with about almost the same price as MAC foundations
Studio fix fluid is fine for me as I have oily skin. They are designed to be able to suit different skin types, so it makes sense that you only really like face and body as it suits your skin tone :)
That's really just your opinion... I don't like face and body at all and love studio fix
Stephanie Salan Im glad studio fix works out for you :) it just doesn't work for me.
Rebecca Jane designed to be 'not that great'? lol
If they don't work for you that's not my fault, don't have a go at me :)
Which Mac foundation would you recommend for oily skin 😶 I've been looking for one that doesn't cake up my face but I haven't found one yet. If someone could please help lol 😭
Me too I have oily and dry skin I hate it lol I have a wedding coming up on Nov and I'm looking for a good foundation that is going work
To *
Prolongwear! Its Medium Coverage, Natural Matte finish, 15 hour wear, water resistant, sweat resistant, transfer resistant. I've worn it for a year and a half now everytime I go back to it time and time again. When I put it on in the morning, and when I come home at night, it still looks fresh. Needless to say I love it.
Thanks where can i get it
Try a Mac Counter at Macy's or Nordstrom or go to the mac website, they even have a foundation finder on thier site. Keep in mind they refer to "warm" as pinkinsh undertone (NW) and "cool" as yellow undertone (NC)
love your videos girl! gorgeous as always!
Your so so so stunning, I've way he'd all of your videos and was going back through and fancied watching this again! Please do an updated makeup collection because in your new background it looks so pretty!
She missed studio fix??? Cant find the moment she she was talking about it..!
+Caramelbeautyx yeah same, thats the reason i was here 😂😂
yep :D
She did talk about it xx you just missed it
which minute????
+So raaad near the end of the video.. it's the last one (she just didn't have it physically with her when she's talking about it)
I wish those prices were the same now 😂
Assuming you live in America, keep in mind that she has a different currency. £22.50 is equivalent to $32.82
I live in the UK ...
everything in this video is over $45 in Australia
thats cool !
expensive tho!!!
omg! this makeup and hair SO suits you! so pretty xxx
Your hair looks amazing !!!! Loved this video !!!
are you really a nc40? you look like a nc20 :o
I find NC 40 to be really versatile. They're not quite light, nor are they too dark. Sammi would probably be on the lighter side of NC 40, probably NC 37 to NC 40-ish
This helped so much because we are the same shades, and when I had the face and body it was as if I had just applied water to my face xx
I love love love the matchmaster foundation. I have a combination of a pink and yellow undertone, and this is actually the only one that matches my skin tone perfectly. I have combination skin and it works amazing!
Excellent Advice! Thank you! I will pick Face & Body and Mineral Skin Finish.
Very nice of you to do this video. Much appreciated, especially for a first time foundation buyer like me x

Thanks for an informative video! I am new to MAC and have no a clue where to even start! I have heard foundations are amazing from Mac but it's finding the right colour. Ps, your skin so very beautiful. Xxx

Omg I needed this video! You are a god-send! thank you :)
Thank you for doing this video, I was thinking of investing in a Mac foundation, but was clueless as to which one to get. Thanks again!!! xxx
Helped alot!!! Definatly will be getting the studio pro long wear foundation.. think its better than the one I have... Please do one for concealers!!!!

I will be trying out the Face & Body and Studio Sculpt ones, they seem cool. Loved the video =) You're adorable
you are currently my fave person to watch on youtube! you're so lovely and i love your vidoes so much! unbelievably jealous of you, you're so pretty and i love your style! sorry for the browning there haha!xxx
Love this video! I needed it!
You look absolutely breath taking!!!
Very helpful video. I have the Pro longwear and it's soooo good. Way better than any drugstore foundation i have, and I've tried at least 6 of those. Do you think you could do a video on Mac concealers as well? That would be great.
Great video sammi!!
I have the Studio Fix in powder form and it works really good. I have combination skin. It was the first thing I bought for
I like your Sammy's style videos!!! Keep it up! :)
Lovely person. Honest opinions. Always a delight to watch. Thanks. Xxxx
This was a nice video and you are so cute thank you so much for your help I have oily skin and you really help me figure out the best foundation for me!!!!!
im so obsessed with your channel
I swear you always look perfect !
So I think I'm gonna go with the Studio Fix or the Pro Longwear. Thanks, this really helped! Love ur channel :-)
I have the Mineralize Satinfinish and it's AMAZING for my skin.
Hey sammi, I was just watching your sunkissed summer makeup tutorial from last July and I was just wondering if you remembered what hair dye you used to get your hair that light/medium brown colour? I love it and its perfect for the summer! Great video btw, I need to ask for samples at mac but always get nervous haha xxxx
Your skin tone is lovely!
I freakin just love you Sammie !!! & we have the same skin type I'm
Normal to combo too 😍❤️ anyways you are an amazing youtuber from make-up, to fashion all the way to personality I followed you for years just felt like telling you girl keep
Doing your thang!!!
My days you looks soo good!
Your face looks so flawless and your hair looks great in this video.
Your nails look amazing!!xx
My skin is really dry, too! I was so fond of the Matchmaster foundation at first but after a while it made my skin dry out completely!
this video was such a life saver, thank you!
This is such an informative video. I'm thinking about getting a MAC foundation so this video really helped me out
Face and body, I forgot to mention! x
The elf buffing brush is great for applying foundation and cheap too!
The face and body has emollients in it that when you rub it about, it turns quite thick like a paste to give heavier coverage. That's also what separates from the water base and probably why it feels goopy on your brush! Love your videos, Sammi :)
Came across your channel today, well this vid to be exact. Absolutely love Studio sculpt Its full coverage but after using it for over a year or so I now notice how sticky it is and I highly recommend a setting spray maybe its sticky for me now due to my face wash products that are causing my face to become more oily. I use MAC studio fix powder compact over my studio sculpt. I look forward to trying MAC Prolong wear after watching this.. Thank you!!
