I have had this for about 4 weeks now, and I am still undecided if I actually like this foundation or not.
Everyone who has seen me with it on has said how natural it looks and how well it blends into my own skin. When I look in the mirror, I personally don't think it looks that great.
I use about 4 - 5 pumps of the product to get the coverage I am after. I also use a real techniques brush to apply it (I had been using the XO Beauty Flat Top brush to apply it, but found the application of the foundation took too long).
One positive I can take from this foundation is how long wearing it is. I usually do 10 hour shifts at work and when I get home I notice how much my foundation has last (this may have something to do with the fact that I use a primer and a setting powder on top of the foundation).
I got colour matched at a MAC counter but like I have said before, I am still not sure if the colour is right for me. It is a NW 40 (which is the same colour I use in the MAC studio fix), but to me it seems to be a lot lighter than the studio fix foundation in the same colour. Everyone else reckons that it matches me perfectly, but I don't know.
I am going to give the application of this another go with a real technique sponge (when I receive it). Until then, the rating is going to stay the same)!
This is the first MAC foundation I have bought and used and I am pleasantly delighted by it. It gives me a nice medium coverage that is has a quite natural finish to it. I find it perfect for myself as it is a foundation I can wear during my day to day life but also when I am going out at night time. It is a lightweight and creamy formula that stays on all day despite feeling like a have nothing on. I apply it with either a flat-top brush or beauty blender but find applying it with a beauty blender gives it a more flawless finish.
Tips: Use a primer before foundation + a finishing powder after foundation to make it last all day long, and get a great finish.
