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...

The New Formula is Bad on Me

Comments about NW55
PLEASE, respectfully, revert back to the old formula. I don't need the new pump or the scent, I just want the consistency and quality of the formula that I've used for years. People used to think my skin was flawless and that I wasn't even wearing makeup when I wore the original formula on various places on my face. It blended that great, & the color match was perfect. The new formula is terrible, the coverage isn't as good, it has a drying and aging effect. Sucks the life out of my skin that isn't even super dry to begin with. I really dislike having to look for a new foundation after 6 years, especially since it took so much trial and error to find this, but I can't use this any more. Reviewers on other sites that carry this share the same sentiments. Why change what works for so many? Please, consider reverting back. This one isn't it.
I would not buy this
I bought a bottle of this foundation.The sales girls raved about this Mac foundation and how it was reformulated and how it was the best and that I would absolutely love it. I tried it for a few days of wear and could not, for the life of me, understand what I was supposed to love, exactly. It settled on all my fine lines, it creased terribly, it looked cakey, chalky after a few hours, and it felt dry with an greasy under layer as the foundation sat on top of my skin. Nothing I tried made it look better, it was honestly frustrating. It was so bad! I'm baffled at how anyone could like this. I do not recommend this foundation, all you'll get out of it is terrible looking skin and frustration. I've never returned make up, I returned this one.
I will not buy this again
Such a bad change! The new formula is not better or improved. It's been ruined. I hate the way it cakes up, settles on ALL my fine lines and just makes my skin look awful. I will be looking for a new foundation from a different brand.
Best Foundation I've found
I've tried several foundations over the years. I have combination skin and use a primer. This is easy to apply, doesn't sink into pores and has staying power. Coverage is just right.
No
New formula is so different and just bad. I didn't like the way it settled on all my creases and lines, it felt dry but oily underneath and it didn't stay on , it separated really badly and transferred onto everything. I will return it and not buy it again.
