Good news for the chocolate girls. Mac Cosmetics has five new deep shades in their Studio Tech line.

High-definition, medium- to full-coverage and studio-quality – our backstage-tested M∙A∙C Studio Tech foundation is now available in a full colour spectrum to suit all skin tones. Five new deep shades allow virtually anyone to achieve a flawless complexion. Its tri-system blend of water, emollients and powder glides on as a soft, creamy emulsion. Features a natural matte, powder-perfect finish. For professional results, apply with the new 170 Brush.

Please note the name and what it implies…STUDIO TECH.

Mac Cosmetics originated for models on the runway, print work and television, and no doubt is an exceptional product. The problem I have with it is the implication of everyday use–like going to the farmer’s market in your full-on Mac, or just wearing for work day in and day out. It wasn’t designed for every day, and as a result, the women who I see stanning for MAC often don’t have skin like the model above. Their skin is usually in some stage of breakouts, with healing scabs right next to fresh pimples and blackheads.  And by far the worst skin I see are the MAC workers and artists themselves.
