Very sheer

This foundation is very sheer, it almost shouldn't be called a foundation, it's more of a tint. It's really good just to slap on if you're in a rush or if you're wanting something extremely natural. I love how this product is for the face and body as it's really nice to rub a little bit into the legs before going out to give a sheer tint and a little bit of evening out :-)

Tips: Do not use if you want medium - full coverage. This is extremely 'barely there'/natural looking :-)

Great for low coverage days

I LOVE this because it feels like a tinted moisturiser and it looks just like your skin. This was perfect for me as it gives a very natural look. However if you need anything more than a light coverage I would not recommend this.

Tips: It is buildable, however you lose the natural look. I would recommend this if you already have quite good skin.

Only MAC foundation I like!

Personally I cannot stand the MAC foundations so heavy & paint like I just feel like a giant cake face (I love their powders though!) But I've always loved this foundation & got it when it first came out but then for some reason it sort of went of the market & I couldn't get it at Kirks in Wellington but now it's back woo!! (except now I'm addicted to estee lauder double wear best foundation ever!)

Day wear foundation

Great light coverage foundation that will not feel heavy or thick. I like that you can still see freckles through the foundation. But creates a nice even skin tone! Once it dries it won't be moving so safe for your whole body!

MAC Face and Body

Love love love. Such a great foundation, beautiful and dewy. Light to medium coverage, yet buildable, and when teamed with concealer and powder it gives the most beautiful flawless finish. I think best applied with a foundation brush, as often a sponge will absorb the product and you won't achieve that flawless look. No SPF. Can't rate this product enough!

Summer foundation

This is my go to summer foundation. I love that the sheerness helps my freckles just peak through while it evens out my skin-tone. The only downside for me is the lack of SPF. As someone super pale the colour C1 is perfect.

Tips: Apply sunblock before as it has no SPF

Light coverage, but good foundation!

I've used this quite a bit on different people and find that it gives a good light coverage, so it's great if they already have near flawless skin. However if they don't concealer would be needed. It's quite runny and shows creases so it needs to be set with a powder. If it's set properly it lasts quite long, I find setting it lightly with another foundation powder does the trick. It doesn't feel heavy or anything and doesn't look plastered on either which is really great.

Tips: Apply with a foundation brush and definitely combine with either an invisible powder or a foundation powder. It is easy to create "streaks" with it being so runny so short strokes or even circular strokes with whatever brush you use helps.

Not cheap - but worth it

I bought this foundation online in 'White' and 'C1,' after experimenting with it at a makeup school. Face and Body allows you to mix two different shades to get the perfect colour to match your skin tone - which for me was perfect, as I have never found a foundation pale enough to suit me! Coverage is very light and natural looking, evens out the skin tone well. Have used this on my legs to cover up bruises and it does wonders! So easy to blend in. I would recommend this to anyone. The only negative thing is that it comes off easily and doesn't really soak in if you put a moderate amount on.

Tips: For better, heavier coverage, pair this with MAC Select Cover-up Concealer.

Lightweight but a knock-out foundation

Having used Mac cosmetics since the '80's when you could only get it from The Bay at Yonge & Queen in Toronto, I can highly recommend this product. It's a lightweight foundation (used to be called 'Select Tint') that can be layered for more coverage. The product range is based on you underlying skin tone, either Cool or Warm and available in a number of shades from very fair to dark. It is on the pricey side of foundations, but I have had no problems using it (I have had problems with some foundations in the past causing breakouts). I like the fact that that it is lightweight, so it doesn't feel like I've caked-on the foundation and it doesn't look that way either. I've found that as I get older, lighter weight foundations suit maturing skin better as it doesn't sit in the 'wrinkles'. The only downside is that it is still only available with a 15 SPF.

Tips: Putting some foundation on the back of your hand to warm up & then applying it with a foundation brush/sponge/or even fingertips helps the 'spreadability' and then you use less foundation.

For a 'no makeup' makeup day

I bought this foundation cause it was one of the foundation mac offered that's targeted for dry skin. It's good for light coverage days when you don't want a heavy coverage. I reckon it does transfer a little bit even though it says it doesn't and you do need to set this with powder or it can look a little oily. Overall, it's okay, not great, i wish i bought the smaller bottle instead of the 120ml cause I'm starting to like other foundations and i don't think ill finish the big bottle.

Tips: The best way to apply this is with your hands! Hands down (pun intended)
