I had written a review for this when I first started using it and gave it three lippies because I was on the fence, but now that I have some experience with it, I can tell you this stuff is...

I really love this foundation. I am NC15, and it's the closest colour I can find to match my pale skin (although it'd be nice if they bought out an NC10!). The finish is beautiful for my...

This product is great, but I cannot use it because of the chemical sunscreen agent. I was in love with it. It's got excellent natural looking coverage that doesn't feel particularly heavy. This...

This is now my holy grail foundation. I went from Estee Lauder Lucidity to Lise Watier's liquid pump stuff to this. Lucidity has SPF 8 (way too little) and Lise Watier's foundations and...

I am test driving NC40. Normally, I hate all MAC products, but I got a sample of this as I am on a quest for a foundation that is less than $40. I mean, the VL Water Canvas was breaking the bank....

This foundation provides a nice lightweight coverage that can be built upon. However, for someone looking for a good coverage to conceal blemishes, this foundation is not it. It does enhance my...

Ugh, at first I liked this foundation, but after a while it started drying my face out and looked yellowish, as all mac foundations look on me. Not very good coverage, either.

I like this only for the summer. I was very dissapointed with the amount you get for the price. The color blends so well nobody could tell I was wearing anything and it evened the skin tone. I love it

Hmm, I don't know how to write about this product. It is OK. I am not too impressed. It gives sheer coverage-medium with SPF but it makes my skin looks oily after 3 hours. It goes away after 4...

Of all the MAC formulations, I like this one the most on my skin. I also use Studio Fix (when my skin feels oily or prone to breakouts) and Hyper Real (for summer months). I'm an NC45 in Studio...

A great product. It matched my skin tone perfectly, lasted all day, and gives great coverage while looking natural. No shine.
