Shoppers Say This Extremely Long-Wearing Body Makeup Withstands Sweat

I’ve lathered, slathered, and swatched thousands of products over my eight-year beauty-writing career, and, in doing so, have been fortunate to try some truly iconic formulas. However, Mac’s Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation — a head-to-toe skin perfector — is among the few fan-favorites I’ve yet to get my hands on. 

…But that changes today. I’m snagging a bottle while it’s still 30 percent off during Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale, which ends on January 8.

The Mac Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation is a lightweight and buildable fluid makeup with a semi-sheer tint. The full-body formula is waterproof, sweatproof, and generally budge-proof for up to eight hours wherever it’s applied, making it a win for virtually any scenario. Fragrance-free, oil-free, and hydrating, it’s ideal for all skin types.

The formula, which dispenses as thin liquid, instantly veils skin in a semi-sheer wash of color. Shoppers say it’s a breeze to blend, even with fingers or in a hurry. One layer will deliver notably airy coverage with just enough payoff to give skin a more fresh and even-toned appearance. A second pass imparts slightly more opacity, albeit without appearing or feeling heavy on the skin. Simply put, it’s virtually traceless and perfect for enhancing any area of your body without risk of transfer, caking, or looking makeup-y. 

This all-over skin perfector has amassed ample acclaim from my beauty-buff pals, makeup artists I’ve met, and, perhaps most tellingly, discerning InStyle testers, who crowned it the best lightweight body makeup among dozens considered. Furthermore, it garnered official InStyle approval as the best waterproof foundation.

Shopper consensus is similarly positive. One reviewer with “super dry, flaky skin” says it keeps their complexion “hydrated throughout the day.” Another shopper “love[s] how light” it feels. “It gives me great coverage,” they continue, “but doesn't feel heavy.“ Similarly, another shopper who prefers a “natural look” says the “foundation evens [their] skin tone without looking like [they] have a lot of makeup caked on.” It’s “so non-fussy” to apply, says another who uses their fingers to blend. Finally, it’s “extremely long-wearing,” says another fan; “I wear it to the gym and it lasts through my workout.”

Fresh-looking, even-toned skin is just a few clicks away. Shop the Mac Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation while it’s still 30 percent off at Nordstrom.
