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 ...

Not my color
Unfortunately, just couldn't find a good color match for my skin tone. So I didn't care for this product at all.

Comments about NW25
Firstly, it dries quickly when applying. Secondly, this formulation has a much stronger smell than previous versions I've tried. Unfortunately, after a few hours I had to take the foundation off due to eye irritation, sinus irritation, facial flushing, and headache, which are usually signs of allergy for me. I wasn't wearing ANY other makeup product; just my regular moisturiser and sunblock. After 30 minutes of removing the foundation my headache eased, other reactions persisted for the rest of the day. I tried this foundation on two other occasions, and each time had to remove the foundation due to the reactions. I previously used the Mac Pro Longwear Nourishing and noticed no such smell and no other issues at all, so compared ingredients to ID what I could have reacted to. I've narrowed it down to: Methyldihydrojasmonate, Propylene Carbonate, Isododecane, and/or Chloroxylenol. The first ingredient isn't technically a fragrance or perfume but does have a subtle jasmine fragrance. All of these ingredients are known to cause the reactions I experienced. Worth also noting, this foundation was awful from application to wear. It looked patchy even after only a few hours of wear and application is tricky. In one of the occasions I wore it, I broke a bit of a sweat and it didn't wear well and completely came off in some areas. On third application I wore a primer on one half of my face and there was no improvement with wear for the few hours I was able to wear it. I have returned the product and am yet again looking for a foundation that works.
Bring back the old formulation!

Comments about NW5
If you want a skin care foundation go for the studio radiance. They should have kept this the classic formulation. It was one of my old time favorites. This is greasy and it spreads around my face even though I am dry. Please just bring back the OG!
I will pur have again and again
Love Mac its the best on the market for me.

Loving this foundation for its all-day coverage and limited shine factor. This has been my go-to foundation since MAC discontinued the Lightful C Tinted Cream as no other foundation has provided the seamless natural look as this foundation.
