When I bought this the lady told me it was good for the oily spots on my face and would look natural despite the few pimples on my face, but it brings the oil up and makes it visible and looks so cakey and is not the best at blending. It also defines the smallest pimples on my face and for the part of my face wear it isn't oily it dries them out. The colour is also is a lot paler then it actually looks it made me look like a vampire. I was really trying to make it work, but it sadly didn't. I would not recommend this at all.

"Controls Oil" By Collecting and Displaying It On Your Face
The color and coverage and feel of this was fine as a BB. But for me, it can only be said to control oil by virtue of collecting and displaying all of the oil on my face. I would not recommend this to people with oily skin. Also, I wouldn't recommend it as a primer for the oily-skinned.

Glad you're here, Cece! If you are looking for the maximum oil absorbing Primer to use before applying any other products to the face, we recommend Prep+Prime Refined Zone. Blend on the areas where you experience more oil throughout the day to see a difference in your skin.

Perfect for everyday
I have extremely oily skin. While I prefer a lighter coverage, I have struggled to find anything less than full coverage that would actually last all day on my skin without turning into a greasy mess. This BB cream is the first lighter coverage product that I've tried that provides enough coverage to make me confident, can be applied with minimal effort using my fingers and looks amazing, is mattifying, and actually stays matte to satin in finish ALL DAY. I feel like my skin looks so natural with this product and I love the fact that I don't have to worry about blotting or touching up like I typically do with other products. Love it so much I bought it in 2 shades to allow me to adjust for coming seasons. I think this may be my holy grail bb/foundation product for daily wear. Please never discontinue this!!!

Bring back darker shades
I can't ever find my shade! This is the best foundation I've found for my dry sensitive skin. I never break out from this and it never runs when sweating. It's a perfect daily foundation for me, which I use with the concealer under eyes and I'm good to go. Love it!

So Far, So Good
Only used it a couple times now and so far, so good. I haven't had any issues as of yet aside from putting too much the first time around. Good to know this could last me longer than anticipated. MAC has won me over thus far..

No fuss holy grail
I horde these any time there's a sale because I'm terrified of it being discontinued. The only negative I have to get out of the way is this bb cream does have a bit of a drier feel once it's set. As someone with dry skin, this is noticeable, but would probably be less of an issue for people with combo/ oily skin. I feel a lot of this is due to the spf because I've noticed it with bb creams I've tried from other brands as well. I love everything else about this. The texture is thick enough to apply with fingers if I'm in a rush, but still feels silky when being applied. The coverage is light to medium with a semi matte finish that looks super natural with a slight blurring effect. I love that this provides SPF (yes, I know I'd need to apply a lot to get the advertised protection on the label, but any spf is better than nothing) and it has antioxidants to boot. I really appreciate how many bases get covered by this one product when I don't have time to do a full face of makeup early in the morning.

I love MAC's Beauty Balm
This is great as a stand alone product. Nothing else needed for a natural appearance. I was looking for a simple tinted moisturizer and this is spot on! For natural coverage apply with fingertips. For a more glamorous look apply with brush or sponge. I can't say enough about this product! The shade is also perfect for me!
