I was introduced to this foundation as a teenager and have LOVED it since. Its smooth and sheer and fantastic if toy have clear skin. Its defiantly a sheer coverage which is perfect for me. YOUR skin shows through, just better. It also lasts a long time cause its a big bottle! My only problem with this is I'm not 100% on the ingredients so I wouldn't use it every day. Your skin is the bodies biggest organ so I like to treat it with more natural products.

Tips: pop a little strobe cream under this for a lovely dewy finish.
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!)
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!
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!
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
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.
perfect for natural radiant looking skin.Can build to a medium coverage nicely.Its easy to buff into the skin or a beauty blender worked GREAT!! great for hot sticky days! dosnt go patchy, a perfect summer foundation. With being a lighter formula i find in summer i can easily match to my chest with a darker foundation than normal as my face dosnt tan. $70 from mac is definately worth it! the bottle is huge! and has lasted me well over 6 months
Tips: shake the bottle first!!!!...pressing it into your skin works better than buffing it. Works best with cream blushes/bronzers
I love this foundation, if you're looking for a more subtle cover,( great for older skin, or really clear younger skin) a slightly buildable, dewy finish, waterproof foundation, this is for you!
Tips: I apply it with a sponge, then use MAC BB cream over any areas I want a little more coverage
I had my eye on this for a while and finally caved and bought it. I thought it would be a little too light coverage but turns out its perfect. It is a light formula but since my skin has been behaving (long may it continue) I haven't needed as much foundation.
Goes on easy, I work it into my skin in sections with my hands. Then touch up around the eyes, nose and chin with MAC Mineralise Concealer. I have dry skin and am using N1 (usually NC15). I don't like to use powder on top of this as I like the dewy look. I really like using all cream products with this - cream blush, shadow etc.
Tips: Get a sample from a MAC counter and apply with fingers. Make sure to shake it before applying :)
After hearing many a guru rave about this product, I decided I needed it in my life. You need to be aware that this product doesnt really come in traditional shades;it is intended as a professional grade product so it really designed to be custom mixed. Not saying that you can't match exactly but its not going to be as easy as other ranges.
The consistency is water like and the coverage is sheer but once dry the product is waterproof and looks lovely and natural. Face and Body can be a little off putting at the start because it does take awhile to figure out how to best apply it. I find hands the best, it is a product that benefits from being warm.
I love it :)
Tips: Pour a little into the palm of your hand and rub them together (like you are warming them up). You will feel the product get thicker, this is what gives more coverage. Apply it to your face them wash your hands! This stuff doesnt budge once dry!
