To begin with the colour selection is amazing. I am very very pale (NW10) and this suits me perfectly. There are so many shades available. The consistency of this is to a thick liquid which is no surprise given that the foundation is medium to high coverage. The packaging is so good, comes in standard 30 ml bottom which is sturdy and not overly sized. You can also purchase a pump which prevents me from wasting product. I have combo skin and this helps to keep away oils on my t zone. It will last all day and sometimes will require a touch up depending on what I have been doing. The price is 60 which for some is expensive but I love it so much so it's worth it.

Tips: Make sure to exfoliate regularly as this is a matte foundation and will hold on to skin. Works best with primer. Also take your time to blend it in properly.
This product really does live up to its hype. This is my go to foundation for nearly all occasions as with one layer everything is covered and it isnt as thick as I expected it to be. It is easily buildable and two layers gives a high coverage look. My favorite primer to use under neath this is the M.A.C Strobe creame as it lasts all day and has the most flawless finish. Definetly worth its price and i find that one bottle lasts me around a year, i have now repurchased this product for the second and will keep on repurchasing as i could not live with out it!
Tips: looks best when buffed out with a flat top brush or a makeup sponge.
This foundation is perfect for my skin colour an I just love how I can apply it so easily using my brush or sponge ! I honestly would love to buy this again and it gives me such an powerful finish or look :) people have complemented me saying it looks like I don't even wear make up at times.
I use MAC studio fix foundation daily now as I find no other foundation gives me good enough coverage like this does! I use NW20 (I'm quite fair and this seems to be the most common colour) however I could probably go down a colour but I like to have some colour in my face. I usually set with one of the powders too and that gives the best results
Tips: For best results use a MAC primer- I use the colour correcting CC primer and set with a MAC powder- I'm currently using the mineralize in a medium and its great!
This used to be my go to foundation, I'm not really sure what happened but it just doesn't do what it used to. I find it oxidises really easily and wear off unevenly even with primer and powder as a base. A bit disappointed really considering the price. My third and final bottle I'll be buying.
I absolutely adore everything about this foundation! I find it a medium (but buildable coverage). I have moderately oily skin and I fefinitely love the matte finish the foundation gives me. I also find a little bit goes a very long way and a bottle lasts me a really long time! - I wish the bottle came with a pump, however that is a very small complaint. I like that is has a low SPF in it which helps to avoid flash back in photos which make you appear very pale. overall, yes the foundation can be pricey but it is well worth it!
Tips: If you find the product oxidising, check your moisturiser!! - I find this foundation works the best with an oil free moisturiser base!
MAC product so it is very pricey, suprisingly I didn't understand why as this didn't really stand out for me. It was an average product for a very high price
This mac foundation is possibly one of the most raved about foundations ever so naturally i had to try it out.
At first, i thought it blended quite nicely into my skin using a flat top kabuki brush and was really good coverage (medium to full). However after around 5 hours of wear i noticed that the foundation had turned sort of orange and oxidised a bit; also it had gone patchy and clung to a few dry patches on my face. I would not recommend this foundation to anyone with dry skin. It would suit more oilier types as it has a matte finish.
Not one of the best foundations I've tried, but maybe its just my skin (combination/dry with an oily t zone).
This is the best foundation ever and I have tried and worn many brands. The finish is flawless although I do believe a good base to work on and the right application tools definitely help with this and help a little go further than finger or sponge application. Love that coverage can be built up or using the brush, quite sheer. Have sometimes sensitive skin that has never reacted to this product. Also nice when worn quite light in coverage with a touch of bronzer or MAC MSF natural to set.
Tips: use with MAC 188 SMALL DUO FIBRE FACE BRUSH for flawless application and getting a little foundation to go a long way (my fav fav multipurpose must have brush)
This is the best foundation I have ever used! I have tried others but none have compared with this one! The coverage is amazing. For daily use i only use the tiniest bit but the foundation is easy buildable so if you need more coverage you can just add more. Each bottle lasts about a year for me. I don't personally find not having a pump a bad thing. I simply just dab my foundation brush on the top of the bottle and I get the perfect amount.
Tips: it can become orange of you use to much
