Really fantastic product. I've been looking for a flawless, professional finish foundation for a while. I am nw20-nw25 (with fake tan), and I got the shade 1. Normally, would probably be matched to...

I loved Matchmaster when the woman at MAC put in on me, but I decided I could do without it. The formula isn't anything special and it's hard to work with. I am in-between colors, so I was matched...

I bought this foundation after watching some reviews of it on YouTube and so glad I did. My local Sephora didn't carry it, so I couldn't try a sample, therefore I had to run to Nordstroms and buy...

Pros: - Color selection. Great to see some pale colours(finally!) from MAC. - Color customisation. I did notice it blend in fairly well when I tried it on my arm and on my face which are quite...

I love MAC makeup but it is trial and error for me as not all of their products agree with my skin. This is one foundation that DOES work for me. It is definitely NOT full coverage but more light...

This foundation is the best I've come across yet! It is smooth, works well on normal skin with t zone area. I feel as if it does enlarges pores a bit when I take it off, not with it on of course. I...

I was very excited to try this foundation. It seemed like the ideal foundation for my everyday look. For one, I have light olive skin that tans easily with red undertones. When I tan, I turn a...

I bought this product in 1.5, as 1 was far to light and 2 was too dark. I was quite disappointed as the shade makes my skin look yellow and requires lots of tweaking with powders to make it look...

I love the coverage this product provides! It evens out my skin tone, and hides minor blemishes, yet still allows my skin to breathe. It is very easy to blend, and the demi-matte finish is perfect...

I don't like this at all. My undertones are pretty neutral, so that's why I bought this. I usually need to mix NW20 with NC20 to get the perfect color. I tried the lightest shade first, but it was...

This is my winter HG. It's a teensy wrong shade wise but because it's sheer, it works out on me. Gives me a glow of sorts too, I really like it. AND it completely covered my hormonal business...
