It's rare that I repurchase makeup products, but this is one I've repurchased. I don't usually like a ton of coverage, especially on a day-to-day basis, and MAC F&B is everything that I look for in an everyday foundation - it's not *sheer* in the sense of "did I even put product on my face?". I would describe this as more of a sheer-light coverage that you can build to almost a medium. Does enough to even out the face and make it look healthy, but you'll need to rely on concealer to cover up any spots or pigmentation. The finish of this is absolutely gorgeous - it's luminous, and I've received many compliments on how glowy I look when I wear this! Despite that however, it's not *oily* - it does feel tacky when you first go to put it on, but this DOES dry down and lasts remarkably well throughout the day. I usually powder the centre of my face to tame down shininess there and it responds well to powder. My favourite way to apply this is with a buffing brush, and then I use my fingers to pat it in and make sure it really melts into the skin. Works well just with your fingers too. All in all, this is a foundation I see myself always keeping in my makeup stash, and I hope they never discontinue it! A big bonus : C3 is a perfect match for me and if you've got yellow/olive undertones I would highly recommend checking out the C range of shades.

I can't say enough good things about this bronzer. I'm around an NC35 with neutral yellow-olive undertones, and this warms up the face and adds dimension nicely without turning orange. The colour is harmonious with my skintone and makes me look healthy and sunkissed. My favourite way to apply it is with a big fluffy brush (I use the Real Techniques Blush Brush). A little goes a long way as it is highly pigmented, so I only need to tap my brush in lightly twice to get enough product on one side of my face. It blends like a dream, so you don't have to worry about having hard-to-blend patches. It looks glittery in the pan, but don't be fooled - the bronzer is a luminous-matte finish, not at all glittery but glowy in the best way. It is expensive, but imo one of the best bronzers out there right now, and comes in a good range of shades too!
