the SPF makes for a dewy shiny effect, its not as matte as I would like but if you avoid the Tzone and just do the rest of your face, it gives you a very nice finish.

This was one of the first mac products i had ever tried, and let me tell you, it is the reason i fell in love with mac and the reson why all my makeup is now from mac. Once you try Mac you never go Back. I highly recoment this product as well as Mac's powder studio fix as well. It hides blemishes, rinkles, and any other imperfections on your face.

I am disappointed in Mac for creating such a wack foundation. it doesn't cover up and wears off easily!

Even though many make up artist always have problems finding my skin color, MAC was able to do so. Im so happy I purchased this product because it works very well on my skin (i have oily skin) and my face doesn't seem to shine so much on pictures (or at least my wedding and everyday pictures come out good). On my wedding day a had a scar on my face close to my lip and this was able to cover it very well. Must say thought it doesnt last very long on though, your body naturally starts sucking in the chemicals and sweating.

I was very upset with this product, I had so many friends swear by MAC foundation I finally took the plunge and tried it. I went to a MAC counter in Macy's to purchase and was color matched by one of the artists. The area was so poorly lit that she put 3 colors on me before finding a "perfect match" in NC20. I bought it and put it on at home only to end up looking incredibly yellow, needless to say I brought it back and got re-matched to NW20. I have constant trouble with this foundation, it slides, doesn't stay matte and makes me look cakey no matter how little I put on. Really disappointing, especially for such and expensive and raved about product.

This is the only foundation that works for me. I have some blotchy skin so this covers. My only complaint is that it wears off towards the end of the day and I would like it to not be as shiny as the day goes on. other than that great product

2 stars? yup, because I havent tried it, so I cant give an honest opinion.

This is a good product. It has a medium buildable coverage so keeping that in mind you have to think about what you are trying to cover out. For me, I have dark under eye circles and while this product doesn't cover them completely it does minimize them which means I get to use less concealer. So, depending on what you are trying to "hide" you have to two options use this product to lessen the effect followed by concealer or use this product and continue to build coverage until you reach your desired look. I wouldn't recommend the second one because you do the run the risk of have a cakey look. I have used other foundation products from other companies, some good and some bad, but this one is pretty good. One last tip, to extend the life wear of your make-up you have to use primer on your face before application of anything and finish your face with some form of setting powder. There are some good brands out their beside MAC for primer and setting powders. Overall I recommend this product, also you buy this product go and ahead and buy a pump because it does not come with one.

I have oily, acne prone skin with lots of uneven spots on my face (im 17 so I'm still in that phase) unfortunately no foundation has worked as good as my revlon colorstay which is odd but anyways. This foundation has been raved about all throughout youtube as being the ultimate foundation for covering ALL imperfections which is not true. First of all you have to be very careful on how you apply because if you put too much on, you'll look cakey(like you have a lot of makeup on). They're color selection is not that good, everytime i go to MAC the lady there changes my color. One told me i was NC 20, Another said i was NW35! its ridiculous so i have three none of which fit me. Overall it was money not well spent. I do not encourage people to buy this product. It wears off after 5 hours and during the summer time 2 hours at most
