At 34 years of age, this is my all time holy grail foundation! I just purchased this MAC foundation for the first time this year, and I can't believe I waited so long to do so! I have heard all kinds of wonderful things about MAC makeup, especially their foundation. I wish I would have tried it earlier! Ulta had this foundation on sale; I ended up paying $18,40 for it (between the sale & a coupon I had, could have paid even less if I used my points but I'm saving them). I have been needing new foundation, as I only had my drug store one left. It would have been stupid not to try it, at that price. Due to COVID, I ordered it via the Ulta app. I was pretty nervous, not knowing what shade I was. Temptalia's foundation matcher was a life saver here! I used my Double Wear & Huda foundation shades to match, to find my MAC shade - which it came up with NW20 (the number / no name shade, added to my nerves). Due to COVID/holidays, my package from Ulta was extremely late. As soon as it arrived, I washed/toned/moisturized/primed my face then tore the box open. I was a little disappointed in myself for not buying a pump for it (NOTE: BUY A PUMP!!) The foundation is normally only $30 at Ulta; paying for a pump would make it about the same price as other high end foundations. I used a spatula to get the foundation out, but I definitely just ordered a pump bc I was afraid of wasting too much product if I didn't. I used a makeup brush (it cosmetics airbrush) to apply & blend it, then a beauty blender to finish blending. After 1 coat, I had perfectly flawless skin! It wasn't too matte, nor dry. It just had this natural finish. I figured it was going to be much more matte than it was. I was very impressed with just the one coat. I didn't use much product either. I had about half left, of what I got out with my spatula - which was wasted, so get a pump!! Lol After the one coat, I applied cream contour & highlight, a little concealer under my eyes, set my face my ABH loose translucent powder & sprayed with setting spray. My makeup was still set & looked the same, when I took it off for bed. I have used it a few more times since & I'm just as pleased as I was the first day. I definitely recommend this MAC foundation!
