I have had many bad experiences with MAC foundations. This foundation was no exception. It has changed since the days I first wore it in 1990! I remember it was an emollient base with medium...

I'm on bottle #3 of this stuff. It's very ,very sheer so I usually top this off with studio fix powder. If it weren't for the great color match, I don't think I'd keep buying this. It's entirely...

This is the most horrible foundation. It is exactly like a tinted moisturizer!! No coverage, and is NOT matte! I had to layer it five times on my nose and chin, and was still shiny.

I got this in NC15 at a CCO fairly close to me. This is the first MAC product I have tried, and they have made a horrible impression on me! The color match is good, but I have never seen this...

I wasn't all that impressed with this. For some reason, it just didn't look that great. It didn't seem to last. Not exactly sure how to explain what I didn't like. Maybe it was just too matte??...

Try again, MAC. This foundation caused break outs on my normal skin. I normally have no problems with acne/oil. This m/u is hard to smooth out and kinda streaky. I also don't get good coverage...

I swore I would never buy this again. I had originally purchased this foundation about 4 years ago. Well I hated it then, and I hate it now. I had to exchange my Select foundation with SPF 15...

This foundation makes my combination skin shiny and oily. It has no matte effect on my skin at all.

This foundation is awful. When I bought it, the SA told me that it would be better to blend it in with a brush. I did, and it still came out streaky and greasy feeling. After using this for a...

This foundation does not provide enough coverage with its thin, oily consistency. It makes my skin feel greasy and looks unnatural and streaky. It takes a lot of effort to blend and, after a few...

I heard such great things about MAC products, but was very disappointed with this one. I originally bought the Select Foundation with SPF 15 which I loved, but the shade (NC25) was a bit too dark...

This is not one of MAC's better products. The tube packaging is convenient (although getting the tube to squirt out the right amount can be challenging) and the price is quite reasonable...

I didn't love this, but I didn't hate it either. Kind of just OK to me.A bit thin and hard to blend, and coverage is only fair. Not the worst I've used-but the new MAC Select goes it several times...

I really love this foundation, I've gone through 3 tubes of this. I like the amount of coverage & it's not heavy. I especially like the fact that doesn't break me out.
