This is one of my top favourite products from MAC. I love the finish, the longevity and the fact that it controls oil really well.
It provides light to medium coverage, but in my opinion is not very buildable. It takes a while to set, but powder applies nicely over top if you apply it in a pressing motion - I do not recommend buffing.
The finish of this BB is very natural and it is virtually undetectable on the skin, but does cancel out redness and evens out the over all tone of your skin. It also works great as a primer!
The shade range is pretty good, considering other brands have mostly only 3 shades, whereas MAC offers 10 shades.
I love the fact that it has an SPF of 35 and that even though you are paying R445.00, which is about the price of their normal 30ml foundations, this product is a 40ml in size.
This is a must have in my collection.
