What I say:
Right..what can I say I love foundations, I've always wanted to try MACs face & body years ago but never got round to purchasing it so I decided to go along and make an order after reading a few positive reviews.
I totally guessed my shade, not really a good idea but I decided on C3 as I still have a lil bit of a tan from holiday. Luckily C3 is absolutely perfect :)
It's a water based foundation so the consistency is runny, not too runny though! I apply this with my Louise Young foundation brush (LY34) and apply it all over my face, now this foundation is absolutely fantastic if you don't like to wear foundation or appear that your wearing any..the coverage is very sheer although people said you can build it to a more med coverage with 2 layers, I don't think it makes a difference tbh..so if you have really problematic skin I wouldn't recommend, I do have a spot scar on my chin but with a little concealer it covers nicely. The finish is a beautiful dewy finish and really doesn't look like your wearing anything on your face at all.
Whats the staying power like? It stays pretty well on my oily skin, I have to touch up after about 4 hrs but I don't mind because I love the look of it so much..I know I said I wasn't keen a few posts down but now I've tried it out properly and been wearing it every day since I purchased it I love it ♥

I'd only just talked myself out of buying this foundation and now you've completely changed my mind again, I need this! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I really wanted to try this but wasn't sure how it would look on my oily skin. Since you have oily skin too, do you think that the dewiness of the foundation makes your face look more shiny than usual? I like dewiness but I hate when my skin is so shiny it looks slick :/
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with this review! I have also written about it this week in my blog as I am really loving it. It is the best foundation I have tried from MAC up to now.

@ Willworkformakeup; I don't it think it gives you that greasy slick look tbh, but if you find it does you could quickly just sweep some MAC msn over to make it a lil less dewey looking.
ReplyDelete@Goldenglow; Lol sorry, it's a big bottle so I guess your saving a bit of extra money 'cus you don't need that much.
Thanks people :) x
