Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NW20
My first pot of this lasted me literally 18 years! A little goes a long way. I'm on my second batch. I apply it to my cheekbones, the tip and bridge of my nose after contouring the sides, and a tiny dab at the inside corners of my eyes when I do a fu...
