Light Plus

I love MAC BB cream in Light Plus but it's hard to find. I buy it in bulk whenever I can find it. Can't live without it

"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.

Dark is NOT DARK!!!

So disappointed by the shade selection on this product. I bought dark hoping it would match my dark chocolate skin, however this is more of a brown sugar. What is a dark skinned beauty to do?! So tired of us dark skinned girls always getting neglected in the beauty game. I will be returning his product.

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..
