This is definitely the best foundation I've ever used. I've always felt like my skintone was weird, I'm super fair, but redish. Most foundations made my skin too pink, especially the MAC NW 15...

Well after all the "media-peer" pressure I finally caved in and splurged on the primer, Matchmaster make-up, and prep+prime finishing powder; $130 and a week later I don't see anything special - It...

This was my first MAC foundation. When I first tried it, I felt like it made me look orange-ish. But after a few test runs with it, I fell in love. It gives me great coverage and matches me great.

I like this foundation so much more than the Studio Fix Fluid! Originally in SFF I was matched as an NC45, but I wasn't in love. The foundation felt heavy and powdery and the color match wasn't all...
