I've been wearing this foundation for a while. I now only wear it when I have a photoshoot because it's too heavy for everyday. It is very heavy on my face and I feel it doesn't look natural. I always seem to break out after a while (after using it). It does serve it's purpose and looks great on film but not for everyday.

I loved the coverage of this, half the time I didn't even need concealer, but it's so bad for your skin! My skin has been much better since I switched to Clinique, but I still miss the coverage. I would almost consider buying it again, for certain occasions, but like a lot of people I have a hard time finding a match at MAC. I liked the design of the compact, but not that it was so hard to use the last bit of product.

I have had a huge love/hate relationship with any and all foundations since the beginning of time. I started using this about 6 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It feels like silk on my face and even though I have an extremely oily t-zone, it stays matte for hours with a little help from MAC Matte and MAC loose Blot powder. It stays true all day and no touch ups are needed. I apply it lightly for daytime and build a little more for evenings. It's a medium coverage and looks like me....only better

This is a great foundation when you want heavier coverage.  I wear this foundation if I am going out or have a special event to attend. Has great staying power.  Eventhough it is a cream it does not make your face look shiny.  Goes on smoothly and evenly and gives great coverage over marks and dark circles.

 

I use NC30, 35, 40.

 

This is a good medium to heavy coverage foundation depending on how you apply it. You can use a little bit and blend to get a medium coverage. It can look cakey if you use too much and don't blend.

Sometimes I do a light dusting of Studio Fix to give more of a matte finish. 

If you have dry skin, it does show up and looks weird when in goes into the little lines. So make sure you exfoliate and moisturize.
