This is a fantastic product. I am a shade 6, however the colour is completely different in the compact. The compact is slightly darker and a better match for me. My biggest problem with this product is that the top part of the sponge applicator cracks. I took my first one back after the first few uses and I thought it was the primer on my skin that caused it to react. The second one cracked some time in so was too late to take back, I made sure I used a different primer. It did last longer though.This time I bought the refill and the sponge cracked as soon as I pushed it in. Having said that I did push it in with the sponge foolishly but I did not expect it to crack. My friend bought it for me and I did not have the receipt so could not return. It does not really apply the same without the sponge and the cracks have left tiny bits all over and through the sponge so I am constantly picking black bits off my face. Pretty inconvenient when in a hurry to do make up. Real shame as I love the sheer coverage and the colour it gives you. The finish is just so natural and not too shiny considering I have oily skin. It leaves a dewy glow which I like.

I purchased this item as a gift my sister loved it.

What can i say, i love this product it goes on great, and it stays on the only downfall is, its £29 and only lasts a couple of months :(

I bought this in shade 2 I was for buying the 3 but the Mac, The Mac shop assistant says the 2 was way better suited to me so went with the 2 I usually wear NC30 in the pro long wear but wanted to try sumfing different, she did tell me to apply with a brush(which she was pressuring me to buy) i use the beauty blender with it, I find that works well, I tried using the brush but it left lines. Does stay on well and feels light and fresh. Jus doesn't seem to b a lot in it. I don't fink it will last long but great wen in a hurry

I absolutely love this product!! I am an African American Carmel completion with yellow undertones and this product matches my completion so well I had to look very closely to blend. The color is sheer, however you can build if desired. It is very lightweight and feels as if I am wearing nothing at all. I chose "7" and the match is spot on LOVE IT!!! A very satisfied customer and will return for more!! Finally a match!! Go Mac you have made me a happy customer and a huge fan!!

Actually, I bought this because the review wasn't as good as other foundations so I wanted to try it! Cushion foundations are very well known here in Korea and a lot of girls love them because it's so convenient to carry in their purse. It's also easy to re-touch your face makeup throughout the day :) I love the applicator it's so easy to use. You need to dab the cushion applicator on your skin very gently then it feels like your skin! I got colour 2 and it's so much darker than other foundations so it was a colour miss for me. so I ordered another one in 1.5! I hope this colour fits me better. I am willing to purchase another one after I finish this! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Very orangey in color compared to other products and thick!

I hate foundation but love a full face of makeup. I have really good skin so I don't like anything sitting on my skin.... This is foundation is so wearable and breathe able. Super light and crazy good coverage. I rarely used a concealer...I hope Mac keeps this
