My first time using department store cosmetics. It was great!
Since 2025, my MAC craze has been on the rise. I was crazy about MAC in my 20s, and while the formulas have certainly evolved since I last used their products, every category is fantastic and it's my favorite brand these days. This time, I'm using foundation. Given my age, I've only ever chosen dewy foundations, but I was looking for this foundation for seasons other than summer. It covers everything with just a tiny amount (about half the amount I've used before), yet doesn't feel heavy. It gives the impression of someone with naturally beautiful skin! I can spend the day with it, and I love that it doesn't smudge or dry out over time. I'm hoping it will hold up well in the summer when combined with a primer, powder, or fixing mist!
I use Orbis U Color Skincare Mask Foundation in Pink Natural 02, Diorskin Forever Fluid Glow in N1, and Zen Wear Fluid in N26, but this one is N12 and the color was perfect.
Maybe because I have pale skin, foundations with strong coverage look thick and make me look older, so I've been using light foundations, but when I went to choose a blusher, I happened to have this applied to me and it made my skin look so beautiful, so I bought it immediately. It covers well, but it doesn't feel thick and gives a glow, so I was excited to use foundation for the first time in a while! I think I'll buy a lighter color next time.
It has just the right amount of shine and high coverage! It's become my favorite foundation. Glossy foundations tend to get stuck in pores, but this foundation stays beautiful even after a while. I think it's best to choose the color carefully. The image I got when I tried the sample was different from when I had the color matched, so for reference,
