Troubleshooting
My existing shade doesn't look the same or match anymore.
The formula has been remastered and the shade range expanded. It is recommended to re-match your shade by swatching directly on your skin or consulting a MAC beauty advisor to find your closest match from the 78 available options.
The foundation looks caky or emphasizes dry patches.
Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and exfoliated before application. Apply a hydrating primer if needed. Use a light hand with a brush for initial application, building coverage in thin layers. Avoid applying too much product at once, especially in areas prone to dryness.
I'm not getting the desired oil control throughout the day.
For maximum oil control, ensure your skincare routine includes mattifying products. Apply a dedicated oil-control primer before the foundation. Throughout the day, use blotting papers to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup, then lightly re-apply the powder if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Skin Preparation: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For extended wear or extra oil control, apply a compatible primer.
Shade Matching: Due to the remastered formula and expanded 78-shade range, it's recommended to swatch shades on your jawline in natural light to find your perfect match. MAC's existing shade names might have slightly adjusted tones.
Application: Use a brush (like MAC's 150S or 159S) for a sheerer, more natural finish, or a sponge (like MAC's Sponge Applicator) for higher coverage. Press and roll the product onto the skin rather than dragging to build coverage evenly.
Compatibility
Skin Types: Highly compatible with oily, combination, and normal skin types due to its oil-controlling and matte finish properties. Its breathable, talc-free nature also makes it comfortable for sensitive skin.
Usage: Can be used alone as a foundation, or lightly dusted over liquid foundation as a setting powder to enhance longevity and mattify.
Care
Compact Maintenance: Keep the compact clean by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the puff/sponge applicator is cleaned regularly or replaced to maintain hygiene and optimal application.
Refill Instructions: The new packaging is refillable. To replace the pan, gently lift the empty pan from the compact and insert the new refill pan, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
