I have not actually bought this foundation but I’ve had a
few samples. If you ever do go to a MAC counter, the sample sizes are
generous and will last a good couple of weeks so you can get a really great test of how it works with your skin so I would definitely recommend getting a sample
first if you are thinking about splashing out.
Personally, I do really like this foundation. It’s very
moisturising, so it’s great for dry skin, and it has a beautiful dewy finish.
However, I have not bought it because the palest shade, NC15, is
just too yellow for my skin. I wish they would do this foundation in the NC10
shade because that is a much better match for my colour. But they don’t and , I could not bring myself to get
it because I thought the colour was too noticeable. Perhaps it’s just me being a
bit too self-conscious, but when I was wearing this I felt like I had to put it
on all my neck too and I think with the right foundation you shouldn’t need to
do that. Having skin as pale as mine, I know that sometimes it is better to add
colour to your face to avoid looking a bit like a vampire, but I felt that the
NC15 shade simply is too yellow for me to get away with. Which is quite disappointing
as, like I said, this is a great foundation that complimented my dry skin well and it kept hydrated all day without being sticky or rubbing off. I would apply this with a stippling
brush which I think gives the best finish. It’s fairly pricey, as you would
expect with MAC, but it isn’t extortionate and the product will last for a long
time. It is claimed this is full coverage but I would say medium coverage at best on my skin.
