MAC Face & Body

Normally, for reviews, I like to get through the WHAT part of the product first, but for this one I think it helps to know my verdict first.

It takes a while to see why many makeup artists consider this as a staple in their collection. It doesn't impress at a swatch. The coverage is nothing to write home about, and at a glance it just seems like watery substance they're calling foundation, selling it in a squirt bottle.

But give it a sec...

The heart and soul of this product lies in the sheer application of this product. Feather it into your skin and let it cook (sit for 5-10 minutes). It is just simply undetectable on the face. It looks like skin, it feels like skin. It builds a waterproof barrier as well, to prevent transfer. So what's so great about that? How does it differ than a tinted moisturizer/BB cream? While it does leave a dewy finish, it doesn't transfer like a tinted moisturizer/BB cream. It wears like a foundation, and helps achieve that Parisian effortless face without making you greasy and wanting to wipe it off on a sunny day. It's truly your skin, but better.


So now on to the scoop...

Color Range: Named differently than their NC & NW range. Cool tones stop @ C5, where as the warm tones run into N9. Not fantastic, but not bad either.

Coverage: Sheer to light. And that's pretty much it. Technically speaking, you CAN work it up to full coverage (as the Pixiwoo sisters on Youtube love to do) but I feel it leaves more texture on the face before you see coverage.

Finish: Water resistant yet dewy. (Trust me, it makes sense when it's on your face)

Size: For $27 you get 1.7oz of product, or if you're smart you'll pick up for $33, 4oz. AN ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSLY HUGE AMOUNT for the price.
