Mac Face and Body Foundation

Mac Face and Body Foundation

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't been around for a while, it's been a bit of a hectic month.

So, I have had my eye on Mac's Face and Body foundation for quite some time, but was unsure whether to purchase it or not, as I wasn't sure if the coverage would be enough for my skin type. I was in London last week in the beautiful Covent Garden, and so took a trip to the Mac store and finally gave in and purchased this.

I am really glad that I did, as it's such a great foundation! I love the coverage, it's really light, but gives your skin such a dewy "barely there" finish, yet will still cover minor skin blemishes. It isn't a full coverage foundation so it doesn't cover blemishes or spots to the point where you can't see them, so what I would recommend is to use this product all over your face with a stippling brush or something like the Mac 187, or the Elf powder brush, then use a creamy concealer over the blemishes. Make sure the concealer you use matches the Face and Body foundation colour as closely as you can, otherwise the blemishes will stand out even more, which is not the look we are going for!

I find this is a much more natural way of getting a flawless look, without having to cake the foundation on all over the face just to cover blemished areas - let the good parts of your skin shine through.

So my verdict for Mac's Face and Body foundation is that I am totally in love, it is now in my top foundations along with my Bobbi Brown Luminous, and it actually matches my skin tone for once (I use C3). My face is always paler than the rest of my body, and I have a yellowy pale base that I can never seem to find the right colour for, especially amongst other Mac foundations, they are usually either too light or too orange for me. Pleasantly surprised with this, and highly recommend :)
