Your question is very important for which I think you should go online and check this out: http://mydailycosmetics.com/articles





Enjoy :)Mac cosmetics..anyone use their products?
MAC Foundations are known for their thick characteristics. They are clay-like and have been used for theatrical purposes. The foundation most likely wont give your face that natural look because of it's thickness. MAC face products have been known to cause breakouts around the face, espeically if you have sensitive skin. If your complexion is nearly flawless, I wouldn't bother with MAC foundations. Try something that is a bit lighter on the face.





CoverGirl - AquaSmooth is a cream foundation that is generally lightweight. It applies smoothly and blends into your face easy. It doesn't leave your face streaky or sticky like most liquid foundations. For a drugstore brand of foundation, it worths exceptionally well. Like with most foundations, apply a pressed or loose powder over the foundation, to give your face a final, natural finish.





Just so you know, a concealer is used to cover blemishes around the face. (Partial facial redness, dark undereye circles, acne scars, etc.) It's not to be applied to the entire face like foundation. It has a thicker base than foundation, therefore covering better.
I like their concealer and powder but not the foundation.


The foundation does give you that perfect look, but some types are a bit too heavy. I didn't look cakey when i had it applied ( Mineralize satinfinish foundation) as it was a medium coverage foundation.


But i have sensitive skin, and since the foundations are very oil based i broke out in bad spots :( I never get pimples and after one use they were all over my cheek and nose.





I stopped using it right away, but since then i've continued with the other Products and they're great.


Just the foundation my skin can't take, but if you don't have sensitive skin like mine then it'll probably become your best friend :)



Hmmm MAC can go on really cakey, but you can also make it looks not cakey.. use Studio Fix liquid foundation, then a tiny bit of Select Sheer Pressed powder blended on your skin really good. If your face starts getting oily or if it gets cakey, blot your skin lightly; or take a big powder brush and blend the makeup a little bit more, using just a tiny bit more powder.
MAC makes mineralized skin finishes which go on very lightly and just give you that air brushed look. I was using them before I started using Bare Escentuals and I loved them. They would be great for you since you said your skin is already pretty good, just dip a brush in it and lightly buff on to your face. The coverage is buildable, as well.
Mac is a good brand. I would recommend going to sephora and getting a consultation. They tell you what is best for your skin type. I love Cargo foundation powder. At sephora you can even get samples to try at home first.
i love mac its the bestttt
