Tips: Use a foundation brush, and make sure you take the time to find the right colour
This has to be one of my fav foundations. I only really use it when I go out really rather than every day as the coverage is really good and I don't need it daily. It is quite a thicker liquid than any other foundation I've used and so a little goes a long way. I use it sparingly and build it up if I want more coverage. I have tried this with a flat top kusbi brush and my beauty blender and using either gives great even and flawless results. I do have the one with SPF in it so this does give flash back in photos- but perfect for the harsh NZ sun. Overall its a great foundation and it is worth the money.
Tips: Definitely get skin colour matched at a MAC store and use a sponge applicator or flat top brush for an even application.
I love the consistency and staying power of this product but after years of having it in my collection and trying various shades over the seasons (all picked out for me by MAC MUA's) I am yet to find one that really works for me. The closest I have gotten is NW20 which needs to be toned down quite a lot with pressed powder. I do love that this product is so buildable but probably won't repurchase as I have found other foundations which match my skin tone better.
I love this foundation, its my go to foundation when im in a rush or wanting to go natural. My sade is nw20, it matches my face perfectly and always looks flawless. I went into MAC and got them to match it to my face. Unfortunally I could bare the price here as it is way to expensive for a foundation, but I managed to pick some up in the states. As much as I love this product unless I am or someone i know is going over to the states I just cant pay the price, even though I love it so much.
This was the first high-end foundation I ever bought (the start of an expensive addiction) and even today it still remains one of my favourites. I love the coverage level, it's medium-to-full but is sooo easy to build. I was quite a beginner when I first used this, but I found it easy to build and blend.
A little seems to go a long way for me, and it has pretty great staying power - without making your face look too matte or flat - which some long-wearing foundations can do.
My only wish was that MAC didn't charge extra for a pump! Would have loved one with this but I don't want to fork out an extra $10-15.
Tips: Applies amazingly with a flat-top foundation brush! I dab a bit onto a flat plastic surface (e.g. a compact lid) and work with my brush from that. I stipple it on then use circular motions to buff it out when my face is all covered.
This foundation is worth the money ! With this foundation a little goes a long way, i have found because of this it lasts a lot longer than any pharmacy foundation i have ever tried, so it really isn't anymore expensive. This foundation has great coverage and an amazing matte finish ! This will always be my go to foundation !
I really did like this foundation, it glided on quite easy & also was a great full coverage so it did say everything it would do. I haven't used this product in awhile as it is quite pricey and can't always afford it, but if I did have the money I would always buy this foundation by far my favorite! Best thing to do it to use a beauty blender to blend it in good as it can make you look a bit cakey. But overall I would recommend this to anyone!
This foundation started off being the bane of my life. I first tried it at duty free and bought it in a rush. The shade was totally wrong and I had TWO bottles. I continued to use it until I went to another counter and found a better match. Since then I have loved it, it isn't the best when my skin is drier.I love the natural matte looking finish. And the staying power is incredible, I haven't found it settling in creases or becoming patchy throughout the day.
Tips: Use a beauty blender or foundation brush to apply this product for best results.
Love this foundation, really full coverage, Covered my rosacea with ease. Skin looked absolutely perfect, even my freckles didnt show through. One thing i didnt like about this was its quite thick, feels heavy on the face and unfortunately can look a little bit cakey if not blended properly, I found it needed to be blended basically straight away as it sets pretty fast, but i love that once it sets it will not budge until you remove it with wipes or facial cleanser. Amazing staying power and coverage, doesnt get that yucky foundation smell that foundations sometimes get after a few hours wear aswell.
I was matched in store to nw22 and since my bf bought one back for me from america it seems too orange so i dont know if it oxidises on me or what. The smell kinda puts me off too. The coverage is full and does leave a flawless finish. Maybe if i got a lighter shade I'd be happier about this product
