For so long, I have wanted to try out some MAC foundation to see if it really was as good as everyone makes it out to be.
I'd settled with using Revlon ColorStay for the past few years and after hearing that it's almost a dupe to MAC I didn't really see the point in switching brands.
There was forever that little inkling of curiosity. I didn't know where to begin shade-wise so the lovely lady at the counter helped me find a colour that matched my skin tone - I am Sand Beige with Revlon, and was matched to NW15.
While it is slightly too dark for me, it blends out wonderfully and gives me some colour which is a step closer to being the same shade as my tanned arms without making my face feel too orange.
We both felt that NW13 would be a perfect match for my face but would wash me out due to my tanned arms so I will probably purchase that shade in winter when I go back to my pale self.
I am so glad that they have bought out NW13 and NW10, otherwise I'd be stuck over winter!
The foundation itself has lovely, full coverage without looking caked on and I feel like a brand new woman when I wear it!
It has a strange smell to it, but so does my old Revlon stuff so I'm pretty used to odd smelling foundations.
The only problem is that by the end of the day I look a bit shiny (oily skin) but this is fixed by touching up with powder or blotting paper.\
I don't think I will ever use another foundation.
My daughter is a Mac freak. She spends $$ on this product. I dont use it myself on a everyday basis, but on special events she will do my makeup and it is just perfect covering.
