    5 Stars MAC Attack 16/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, great coverage, subtle.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little pricey.

    Finding the perfect foundation - or, sometimes, even a halfway decent foundation for that matter - can be a real challenge. There are so many things to consider; matching your skin colour, finding the right consistency, the right coverage, not to mention how it affects the state of your skin (oily foundation on oily skin generally being a big no-no). So when you find something good, in my opinion, you should stick with it. That's why I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with MAC foundation for quite some time to come. MAC (which stands for Make-up Art Cosmetics) started out as a cosmetics brand ... more

    5 Stars MAC Select Foundation - What a selection 18/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great coverage, excellent shade, flawless appearance.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Covers up characteristics and doesn't look like a "second skin". Price.

    I found out that a lot of the companies I really liked have been tested on animals, so I decided to do an overhaul on everything in my make up bag. Since I always purchased things on the cheaper side, everything was by Rimmel or Maybelline, sometimes Collection 2000, so I had to change some things. I didn't buy this in the end because it was out of my current price range, but I still really liked it. It's not my holy-grail foundation, but it was close enough considering how accurate the shading was. I got shaded as a NW15 in this, one of the palest shades and for "warm" undertones because of ... more

    5 Stars Who wants flawless, smooth looking skin? 07/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages plenty of shades, long lasting, non-oily, SPF protection

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not any to mention

    I am a woman of colour and in the past have found it difficult to find foundation that not only matched my uneven skin-tone but also worked to minimise my oily skin. I found it in MAC SELECT SPF 15 FOUNDATION. MAC boast that this product is a water-based liquid foundation, non oily, giving medium coverage, plus an SPF 15, and it's an unbelievable YES to all 4. What they do not tell you is just how good the coverage REALLY is. If you, like me, have an uneven skin tone then this is just for you, with 21 shades to choose from there will definately be a shade for you. It can be built up as much as ... more

    5 Stars The effects of Mac 29/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The wide range, the coverage, consistency

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I began using this foundation a couple of months ago, switching from numerous other brands such as Benefit and Clinique. Considering I am still using Mac's foundation says something (especially as it' s me!) The Product ****************** The first thing you will notice about the Mac range is the wide range of skin tones it caters for. This is one of the main reasons I first tried their foundation. Before my purchase I wanted to try the foundation, and intially I noticed the coverage was excellent (particularly as I have numerous chicken-pox scars on my face, which I previously had to cover ... more

    5 Stars Perfect coverage. 28/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy applied, ranges for coverage and skin type, good coverage and leaves natural glow

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Beautiful skin. Isn't this what everybody wants? It is hard to achieve. Especially for people like me, who have had acne and have remaining acne scars. But with this foundation I was able to cover up the blemishes allowing my skin to achieve a natural looking glow. This foundation worked like magic. The foundation blended easily with my skin giving my skin an natural appearance. My friends and family where amazed by my skin and could not tell that I was wearing the foundation. The foundation is a miracle worker. Its the first - and only foundation that allowed complete coverage of my acne ... more

    5 Stars mac studio fix fluid 11/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages spf15, great coverage, good range of shades

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Mac studio fix fluid is a god send it is the only foundation i let anywhere near my skin. Ok so studio fix is a liquid foundation which provies a medium coverage which you can build up for evening or look fresh in the day, its priced at around £20. This means you can get great coverage without being caked in makeup. The coverage is matte which is perfect for an oily skin tone like mine. Its best applied for a natural coverage with a mac duo fibre brush - its about £30 but it will last you a life time - I use this brush myself and get flawless natural coverage, but if youre after a bit more ... more

    5 Stars Top Make-up 01/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Coverage, Colour, SPF

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I love Mac make-up and use most of their products all the time. I find this foundation particular good for the following reasons: - Coverage- This foundation provides good coverage throughout the day and you only need a small amount to cover your face so wastage is kept to a minimum. The consistancy is good and it is easy to apply this foundation and blend it with the skins natural tones. The foundation is good to apply with either a brush or a sponge but I find fingers the best. - SPF- This is an important addition as even when it is not sunny ii is advisable to wear SPF to help protect the ... more

    4 Stars MAC Select SPF 15 - worth it for the shade! 24/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages selection of shades; coverage; ease of blending

    Disadvantages Disadvantages awkward pouring; more expensive than average

    Until recently, I'd sworn by L'oreal foundations, and found these to sit well and last the day. However, as is the case with a lot of brands, the shades were always just a touch too light or too dark. I was drawn to Mac because of the range of shades on offer. Perhaps it was just my experience, but I found the lady who served me in-store to be refreshingly blunt. Instead of the usual false air one encounters at cosmetic stands, she was extremely professional, while also flat-out telling me what didn't suit my skin tone, and also which type of foundation I should go for, based on my borderline ... more

    5 Stars The foundations of life 02/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Light, great coverage

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive at £18

    With so many foundations of the market these days, it can be somewhat difficult to find the perfect one for our skin. I used to get so fed up of the huge choice and not knowing which foundation to choose, in the end i would give up and just grab any. However, one day i came across the Mac make-up stand in Debenhams and found this particular foundation. It was expensive at £18, a lot more than i would usually pay, but because of the light texture and great range of colours available, i decided to purchase the product as a treat for myself. The Mac range of foundations provides a colour suitable ... more

    4 Stars Mac Studiofix Foundation 21/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Not too heavy on the skin, has SPF and makes your skin look great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's a bit pricey for a student budget

    I bought the Mac foundation over Christmas, and I'm not usually the type to spend more than £5-10 on a makeup prdduct because I'm a bit stingy. I used to think that Mac foundation might be too heavy on my skin since I don't really need a lot of makeup. Also I have sensitive skin, but Mac's foundation does not give me any break outs or problems whatsoever! Its great for sensitive skin in my opinion. All of my preconceptions about Mac changed once the makeup lady used the foundation on me I was amazed at how great it looked! One great thing about mac is that they have a great variety of make-up ... more
