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...

It used to be great
It used to be great, the best foundation ever, now it's terrible. The change of formula has ruined it and it no longer resembles the original. It is now very light coverage, greasy and settles into all pores and lines, emphasizes texture and clumps up in a greasy, cakey mess….. After being a lifelong, loyal Mac user, I've had to move on to another brand.
I would buy this product again!
It's a good foundation if you want a matte look! I like it but it's really matte so you have to hurry and finish products quick or the foundation would dry fast! It's a good foundation, but it makes you have acne so don't use it a lot! Use it for only special occasions!
Terrible
Terrible reformulation. It's not matte…it separates into greasy clumps within the hour. It's not long lasting….it comes off with the slightest touch. It emphasizes texture and lines in your face. It's a terrible, frustrating product now. Don't waste your time or money, another foundation will perform better than this. Truly disappointing now.
Love this foundation

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
