This is currently my favorite foundation, as it is a light coverage foundation (which I prefer as I don't wear foundation day-to-day) yet it seems to provide better coverage than other "light" foundations I have tried. I like the fact that I can build up the layers without looking over-done, though I do need to set with a loose powder otherwise I am left with a shiny looking face right off the bat.

I first researched what foundation suits oily skin coz I have REALLY REALLY REALLY oily skin. I use to break out after 2 days of wearing any foundation. HOWEVER! "Lord Jesus halleluyurrr!" This is legit my holy grail! My make up game would be nothing without this! The formula sinks into my skin. It's buildable so you determine your coverage. IT DOES NOT CAKE! I have used this everyday, full coverage for the last month. I have had no break outs and I eat crap fool. The one pimple I got was from my lip gloss. That's it! This product is for acne prone/oily skin. It's amazing. I looked at Gossmakeupartist to try out this product and I swear it's amazing! It even offers the 120ml range. I am nothing without this.
Tips: Best applied with a sponge not brush. It's my life!!
Love this foundation, this is what i wear when I want dewy, light no makeup look, most of my foundation are heavy duty, but i love this, it has some coverage but it feels like nothing on the skin. I touch up with powder maybe twice through the day, I love the finish and 1 bottle (100mls) will last you ages. 100% recommend
This is the best summer foundation I have ever found! It's super light weight and water proof, perfect for a day at the pool or beach, and it has buildable coverage, so you can wear it sheer or build it up to a medium coverage! It comes it a good range of colours from light to dark and with pink and yellow undertones. I like to apply this with a duo fibre brush if I want sheer coverage and a beauty blender if I want a little more coverage. I like how this foundation gives me a dewy look without looking oily, it also still has a dewy finish even after setting it with powder which I really like in the summer because I feel like it makes me look super healthy instead of having a fully matte face.
This foundation is such a dream for me! It acts like I think a BB cream should in providing your skin with a much more even appearance while allowing your skin/freckles etc to show through, the difference being that this foundation matches me perfectly and isn't too drying on my skin.
The formula isn't as thin as I originally thought it would be, it's more of a gel like texture when it comes out of the bottle. It's ridiculously easy to blend in and once applied it leaves a slight dewy finish, which my dry skin loves. I wear it daily to take work and it stays looking good the entire day, about 10hrs between when I put it on and take it off. It's also the lightest feeling foundation I've tried, by far, you really can't feel it on your skin!
I picked up the 50ml in C1 for $60 from my local MAC counter. When you think about the fact a standard foundation is only 30ml, it's essentially the same price as many 'drugstore' foundations. I love this foundation and regret taking so long to try it!
Tips: Even if you have blemishes/pigmentation you want to cover, you can still use this, just go in with a concealer on those areas for a much lighter coverage overall!
This foundation actually makes your face feel fresh unlike many others! I love it and would wear it everyday (if I wasn't a mum). It is really nice and light but you can build it up if you need more coverage. It blends so well and I find paired with a good powder it gives such a natural coverage. I am not a fan of obvious foundation so this is perfect! Love love love.
Tips: A perfect foundation for every day. Use less during the day and more if you're hitting the town! Pairs really well with a mineral powder for a flawless finish.
I wear this on my good skin day. It is so lightweight and looks like you literally have no foundation on. I find the texture a bit sticky on the skin so I apply translucent powder on top of the foundation. This products blends so easily and is buildable if you are wanting coverage.
Tips: If you have oily skin or combination, apply the studio fix powder all over your face to mattify the shiny area.
It feels so right I wanted a foundation that felt light on my face and wasn't heavy looking but did what it was suppose to. Did it deliver. YES YES YES You don't need a lot and goes on easily. Not patchy and does amazing coverage. Perfectly matched my skin tone and didn't even feel like I was wearing foundation. The first time I used it I took out to much and have since learned you really don't need a lot to cover your face. You do need to prime your face before, moisturizer or a primer so it applies easily. Takes me less then a minute to apply. Who could ask for more.
Tips: I got my self the duo brush and it made it so easy to apply.
Face & Body is perfect for me on the days I don't want to do a full face but I want light coverage and comfortable (as silly as that sounds) to me its basically like a tinted moisturiser with the amount of colour it actually puts on your skin, its super hydrating, smooth to put on & super lightweight
Tips: Apply some powder to take away some of the shine if you don't like that look :)
I love this foundation. It is prefect for everyday IF you don't like wearing a lot of make up. It's not got a lot of coverage but it has enough if you just want to take a bit of the redness out of you cheeks. It has a very dewey finish which i tend to powder over. It's a great slap on foundation for when you don't want to put on a whole face!
Tips: This foundation is not good for hot sweaty days, the dewey finish doesn't do you any favours.
