Too thin and watery. I can't imagine this foundation being able to stay on anyone's skin longer than a few hours without it being completely absorbed and disappearing altogether. MAC is...

I got talked into this product by an overenthusiastic, yet adorable, counter-boy. I really like the texture--after drying it feels kind of powdery--but it's difficult to apply for a variety of...

I tried on this foundation, and I am glad I asked for a sample before buying it. I have normal skin, and the foundation just cakes up in no time. Plus this doesn't really offer much in terms of...

I think I've found my HG of foundations. I've been flipping between foundations a lot lately, trying to find one that matches my skin tone, doesn't make me oily by the end of the day, and doesn't...

A recent purchase that I have yet to regret. I've always had trouble finding foundation to match my very fair, cool-toned skin without being A) too dark, B) too yellow, or C) too peachy. This melts...

I have NW20, i'm fair with a little reddness. I like the coverage of this product and am very sun aware, so this works great for me. Will repurchase.

I trust MAC make-up artists to get a good colour match. My skin is very difficult to match. I was happy with the colour, NC40, for my olive Oriental skin. Unfortunately the formulation hasn't lived...

A MAC makeup artist applied this on me and its a pretty good foundation - I was surprised to find out its only $20-something, I thought it would've been more. Covers nicely, medium coverage but...

I found this foundation to be tricky to apply for me. The only way it works on me is to apply with a damp sponge. It didn't irritate me at all, which was great for my sensitive skin. I use this...

Although this may not be my HG (EL So Ingenious is), I still love it. It is a sheer foundation ( I don't know how you can get a medium coverage with this), so you have to have quite decent skin to...

I tried this, since it is replacing my staple Studio Finish Matte. This is a definate no-go for me. The coverage is thin to non-existant, and the supposed "buildable" coverage didn't work either....

I'm definitely in the minority. A make-up artist at a MAC store applied NC20 (I'm very fair, oily T-zone with combo/dry skin) with a foundation brush to my face after work one day. I liked the...
