Mac Face & Body is actually the first high end foundation I have ever bought! I've never really been desperate to try a high end foundation either but on the 5th of September I turned 18 (woohoo!) so I decided to treat myself to Face&Body and Fix+ (I'll review that too if you want!).
The shade I use is N3, it's pretty much almost my perfect shade, I think N4 could be my perfect tan colour
Right, let's actually start with the review. This is a very light weight foundation, it literally doesn't even feel like I'm wearing foundation!
The foundation itself is like a tinted moisturiser, it has colour to it but don't expect it to complete cover up any spots you have! Saying that, this is a build-able foundation, you can get a nice medium coverage from it without looking cakey. I specifically bought this foundation for the light-medium coverage it gives.
It definitely needs a good shake before you use it. It comes out of the bottle quite watery but once it sets on the face it looks absolutely gorgeous!

When researching about this foundation myself before I bought it, I discovered a little technique that makes the product become more opaque quicker so you don't have to keep buffing for what feels like hours! (exaggeration hehe)
So what you do is put the product in your hand and rub it between your hands, sort of like warming up the product. When you put it on your face you'll feel that it's a bit stiff while buffing it in, don't worry that's just the foundation setting!
In the reviews I've read from makeup artists and ordinary bloggers, I noticed that people with different skin types have used this foundation and loved it! With the knowledge of makeup I have myself I'd say people with normal to dry skin and normal to combination/slightly oily skin will be able to use this. Those with combination/slightly oily skin may have to powder, I know I do. I'm not sure if people with very dry or very oily skin can use this. I may be wrong! I'm not a professional but this is just what I think after doing research and using it personally. If you do use this and have very oily/dry skin let me know!
All-in-all, I love this foundation and would definitely recommend it! I bought it for £21.50 for the 50ml, and it's worth it! A little bit goes a long way :)
I'll post a picture of me actually wearing the foundation in a couple of days.
Peace out Beauties!
