I went to the MAC counter looking for primer to go under my Studio Fix because my skin was looking a bit dry and textured - I think due to pregnancy. Normally, I have pretty oily skin. The MUA...

The best foundation for me. I have pretty oily skin, and this is a creamy, buildable coverage yet water-based foundation, so it works great for me. The only problem is that I go through it really...

I actually liked the coverage. Felt a bit thick esp if you go overboard. But, overall it does give you good coverage. The bad side of it all=whiteheads. I had a facial shortly after & she asked me...

The MA color matched me, I love the coverage! It's a bit too thick for my taste but the MA showed me how to "cut it" with moisturizer. I use BE on days that I don't need full coverage, but it...
