I'm getting my make up done at MAC for my bday (January 10th), does anyone have any foundation recommendations? I like natural looking face makeup and warm eyeshadows!

Hey, that's my birthday too! Happy early birthday! For the face I'd recommend Face & Body Foundation, it's thin so it's lightweight and the coverage is sheer so it'll look very natural. I can't think of any eyeshadows off the top of my head but their eyeshadow collection is amazing so I'm sure they'll have plenty of warm options (:

I recommend studio fix fluid because the face and body and the mineralized really do nothing for you.

By natural do you mean that it doesn't cover too much or overall doesn't look so much like makeup?

I'd agree with both recommendations but it depends on your skin type as well as application.
If you're normal to dry I'd recommend the Face and Body it gives sheer to light-medium coverage. You can always add concealer if you need more coverage but it is quite water resistant and gives a nice dewy finish. Doesn't give flashback and doesn't feel like you're wearing makeup

If you want a similar finish and coverage but have normal to oily skin their lightful tinted cream works great. Only comes in like 6 shades though and I haven't seen it give flashback

If you're normal to oily and want a quick natural light to medium matte finish go with their studio fix powder which comes in the most shades

Now, if you're wanting fuller coverage and have normal to slightly slightly dry or oily skin and want fuller coverage I'd recommend the Studio Fix Fluid or the Pro Longwear nourishing waterproof foundation. Studio Fix Fluid is a bit more matte and the pro Longwear one has a more satin finish. Both are quite long wearing. I like them both but prefer the studio fix fluid due to the prolongwear one looking more peach on me. Neither of these give flashback in photos both have thicker formulas and can still look natural depending on application

These are my faves from MAC. I find it better to give you options since not everyone has the same preference is formulas
