Absolutely fell in love w/this foundation immediately!!
I absolutely fell in love with this foundation immediately when I applied it to my wrist because it was the perfect match and I could hardly tell I had put it on. I have never been able to find a foundation that matches my skin so perfectly! So I was already amazed from that! Then when I applied it ...

Good & then not!
Edit: Below was my review from applying to wearing it roughly 3hrs. Unfortunately hours passed that, the foundation was kind of flaking & crumbling on my skin. It almost looked like my skin was dry & that was causing the flaking but nope. I also believe this broke me out a bit. That has never happen...

Comments about NC45.5
I've been buying this foundation for years. I've tried other foundations just out of curiosity but I always go back to MAC! The color matches me perfectly and the finish is perfect!
The reformulation has ruined it for me
Ive been using this brand for over ten years and I unfortunately had to quit. The new foundation gets splotchy, weird texture, seperates through out the day, emphasizes texture, etc. im super disappointed
I have this order on repeat
The best coverage without looking heavy. I am 61 and it looks great on my skin. I am so Happy I found Hannah at the MAC counter and tried several samples before choosing this!
Long wear & beautiful blurred, matte finish
I get great coverage & a flawless finish! Been my go to for the past year now.
Awful change of formula
Terrible new formula. This foundation was my favorite for years and years. The change they made to it has ruined it. It's a greasy, cakey mess that ages you because it settles on every single line on your face. I will no longer wear this foundation.
