Yes! I love this... but I have to admit, it takes me a lot of priming to get the right look. I use the Prep + Prime face, mixed with strobe cream, apply it with the 190 foundation brush. Then apply...

In essence this seemed like a good idea. Liked the pump. Like the color (NC35). Liked the texture. But alas, as with most of MAC's foundations, it's going back. My pores look like craters...

I just bought this yesterday along with the 187 brush. I love the finish of it. It leaves you glowing. However, it's not a lot of coverage. I think it qualifies more as a tinted moisturizer with...

NO NO NO and NO. This is the worst foundation I've ever used, and I've used a lot. It just doens't do the job for me. Too heavy andway too visible you're wearing make up. The texture isn't great. I...
