Love it!

This is my current foundation and I love it. It last all day long on me and it's the kind of texture I like. But, I agree that it can be kind of pricy, comparing the results with other options, and it dries kind of fast, so I apply it with a brush quickly, never with a sponge or my fingers.

I heard great stories about this foundation. I was excited when I bought this; hence, the times I wore it; my skin looked oily, cakey, and it felt like I was wearing alot of makeup. I didn't know how to remove the oil, it just looked nasty. I don't recommend for that price. I have normal skin and I always wear Revlon Colorstay Foundation which doesn't make me look cakey or oily. I've also tried many other foundations, which include bare minerals, bellapiere, maybelline. I've never had a problem with any of them. Not only that, this foundation gave me 2 pimples, which my skin doesn't really break out. Thumps down! I returned it

Heartbreaking.

I absolutely love this foundation, but it just doesn't come light enough. I have to mix my NC15 with my Illamasqua Rich Liquid in RF105 to get the perfect shade. I would probably be addicted to this stuff had I been able to purchase the perfect shade.

YES!

I just recently started wearing liquid foundation. Very easy to apply with the right brush or sponge. I always set it with my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish. I do recommend buying the pump so you won't be wasting any product. I have a light shade for highlighting and a darker shade to contour as well. The Skinfinish powder brings it all together :)

Amazing

This is my favourite foundation at the moment! I've used a lot of high end & Drug store foundations, this comes in close to the top. Its creamy without being to much for my combination oily skin it sits perfect for hours (although I've never used with a setting powder). Up to now I'm impressed & Will purchase again.

good coverage

This foundation is very good at hiding redness and imperfections as it has a medium coverage but I find (on my oily skin) it looks a bit dry and flaky. I like the matte finish but it's hard to work with so I try to mix it with a bit of moisturizer so I can even it out over my face easier. I have found many times this to look a bit orange/yellow on my skin, especially in photos which is disappointing for a MAC product. However, I will carry on using it and hopefully it will look better over time...

AAAAAAAH

This was an awful experience. While the lady who matched me was very nice, the color was way too dark. It was also very cakey looking on my skin, and not only did it break me out in pimples, it gave me hives! I gave it to my mother, and she loves it. I think that if you have sensitive skin (like me) and an allergy to sulfates (which it has and I am allergic to), you should go for something else

Good, but...

I gotta say, with a primer and a dusting of setting powder, this looked really nice. The only downsides are 1. it sets too fast. This caused me to actually mix it with a bit of moisturizer to allow myself some more blending time... I'd say take your favorite oil based moisturizer and use a 35% moisturizer 65% SFF. remember, oil and water don't mix so don't go using any water based moisturizer or you'll completely destroy the integrity of the foundation. 2. it's far, far too dark! Even their lightest shade is just tooo dark! But I can say this for A LOT of makeup companies. Apparently, us porcelain alabaster skinned people just don't exist in the pigment laboratories of M.A.C and other companies. 3. because of the consistency, if this comes off, it will make you look blotchy. I dare not wear this without a primer which means when you go to refill, you refill your primer too... which seems like it may run out faster than my foundation actually. I use the Prep + prime by MAC and I love it, but it's not cheap. I also would hate to be heartbroken to use it without a primer and see breakthrough (oil breaking through the makeup) and breakouts from this product. I like it too much, and besides, I'm 32, so I can afford to use some primer. so... Meh.
Cons.. too dark, dries too fast, old-school foundation smell
Pros.. good staying power, nice matte finish (but forget about it lasting 8 hours... more like 4, so bring blotting tissue) Can look cakey if you build coverage and then powder, so use a GOOD blending brush
