I found this had fantastic coverage, lasted well, and retained a 'matte' look (often I can end up looking a bit shiny after a few hours). The only down sides are the smell and the cost, though not a big issue considering how much I liked it!

I love this product, It's not too runny and not to thick. I find it provides perfect coverage for my pigmentation and stays on all day. It comes off really easy to.
The best foundation I have ever used, well worth the price and perfect for a night out. Has great cover and a wonderful finish. A bit heavy for everyday use but I don't wear a lot of make up. A+++
Tips: Don't need to use a lot as a little goes a long way!
This is a nice foundation but wasn't for me. I have quite dry skin and found that this made it dryer. It didn't quite move across my face well when I was blending it in. Like I say nice foundation but probably wouldn't recommend this for people with dry skin like myself
I tried this foundation out for a couple of months but found with my dry skin, it wasn't a great foundation for me. I felt like you could see the foundation obviously even when well blended. Gave it to my friend and it looked great on her skin, so if you don't have dry skin, give it a try!
This foundation has a really nice texture and finish and has a medium coverage, you can build it up to a full coverage. I like how mac has a huge range of colours. The only thing I don't like is that with all their foundations and concealers; the colours don't always match up. But I really like this foundation.
I only recently tried this foundation & immediately fell in love with the results.
I have combination skin & was skeptical about using it as I've read mix reviews about applying to dry skin.
I'm one of these people that need quite a bit of coverage daily. I found this acted as a second skin when I first applied it. I needed a bit more coverage so I built it up a bit more & got the perfect canvas. In saying that, a little went a long way so I actually found I used less of this product than I would normally applying foundation.
It isn't a thick consistency (thick is what im used to) so I was surprised at the full coverage once I built it up. I loved the fact it looked natural on me & the colour matched my skin perfectly (Im an NC25)
I am a NW15 in this MAC foundation which I was matched to at the MAC Counter. This is one of my favourite foundations because it stays put for most of the day. I do set this with a translucent powder because I do have oily skin and I find this makes it last all day. This foundation comes in a glass bottle with a black lid. You can buy the pump from MAC which I find makes the product easier to get out. It has a thick consistency and a strong smell which goes when the make up dries. It is a pretty natural foundation which is good for everyday use I find that it doesn't cause me to get more pimples as long as I take it off at the end of the day.
Tips: If you have oily skin set with a powder.
I really love these foundations. I love the consistency and I find them easy to blend, but there isn't a shade that matches my skin tone. The palest yellow based shade is far too dark for me, which is really disappointing, as I would love to make this my holy grail foundation.
When I first started to buy MAC products, this was one of the first recommended to me to buy. I have mixed feelings on this foundation. Given I have normal to oily and sometimes normal to dry skin I'm not sure this was the best match for my skin type. The coverage I find to be medium to build-able which is what I look for in foundation, I did find however it wore off quite a bit throughout my t-zone during the day which is my oiliest area. I also found sometimes my skin going dry in my t-zone area from this foundation which I found difficult to understand. For me and my skin type it is okay but It was a holy grail foundation for me
Tips: Check with a MAC counter about your skin type and which foundation would best suit your skin type. Also if you are getting colour matched at MAC, ask to step into normal lighting to see if the colour is right, as I walked out buying a foundation 2 shades too dark which didn't seem that way under artificial lighting!
