My opinion:


This was my first high end foundation, and before I've started to experience with other foundation I've actually liked it, but now that I'm a bit more experienced in terms of makeup, I'm sure that you could find a better substitute for less.


I specifically dislike the texture of this product (too thick for my taste), and the color was a bit off, I'd personally prefer to use NC25 instead of NC30, but the sales lady insisted that I was a NC30....

  2. There are certain things in Mac that I like, but I'm not sure about it being the best, and since there are so many alternative in the market, is just kind of hard to stick with one brand.
