Very thick foundation
I’ve been using this foundation for a while now it is a full coverage foundation that I find very heavy and thick. I don’t have sensitive skin however I get very itchy while wearing this product I would recommend trying a lighter Mac foundation while still keeping the full coverage aspect
I love that it covers the red of my face, and makes my freckles less noticeable!
This is one of my favorite foundations, it is full cover and the shade is perfect on my skin tone, the price is what you would expect for a MAC product.
According to the MAC website, this is a Gel based foundation, which really doesn't make any sense to me because if it were gel based, why's it so oily!? I gave this a try so many times, it just doesn't work for me. I have dehydrated skin, which mean my skin lacks water, so i can be categorized as combination skin. So when i found out this was gel based and hydrating i was like "YEAH! SCORE! i found my foundation!" boy was i wrong! it's so oily you can put me on a can and fry me! I also found that this foundation oxidizes to a orange tone, kind of strange. I went back to back a four times and got colour matched and exchanged for a new one almost every week! Some oxidized yellowy other orange! to a point where i just gave up since it was too oily anyhow. I ended up getting the fluid instead, i wish i could stick to this one because i love this squeeze tube packaging alot =(
at the end of the day i would recommend this product to people with NORMAL TO DRY SKIN ONLY!
I've been using this foundation for two years, not the same bottle obviously, and I love it. I love the coverage this gives and the SPF is perfect for protecting your skin all year round. I also love that if you're looking for a little less coverage with a little moisturizer and leaves your skin feeling soft.
I'm currently using this right now in rotation with a few other foundations. It has SPF 15, so I use it for the daily trek to the office. It's water-based and dries rather quickly, so you have to blend fast. But once you do - and you have to do it sparingly - it imparts a beautiful finish and will definitely last throughout the day with the occasional touch up with powder. It can be applied with brush (for a more sheer coverage), sponge wedges or even your fingers. It's buildable so you can definitely get more coverage out of it by applying a second layer and it still doesn't look cakey or fake. MAC is a great company and I have had great result with most of their products. This tube also contains quite a bit of product in it so it will last for a while and definitely give you your money's worth.
