This foundation was probably the 2nd MAC foundation I purchased. I used this product for a few years before trying anything else. But the older I got, the oilier I got, and this foundation became...

The lightest shade of this product was too yellow for my skin, it also looked very masky and plastic looking when it dried. I used a sponge to apply it. I found it very similar to Nimue foundation....
