Current Face Favorites

My skin has been looking fairly good lately, so I've switched up my foundation a bit. I've been loving MAC Face and Body (I use shade N1). It gives sheer, but buildable,coverage and a natural, dewy finish. I pair it with MAC Mineralize concealer in NW20 for under my eyes.

I really only need one layer of foundation to even out my skin. I like how it is so light! I really don't feel like I'm wearing anything. The Mineralize concealer is so nice to work with. It isn't the heaviest coverage, but does a decent job and blends nicely without pulling.

The swatches below are: Face and Body foundation unblended/slightly blended; Mineralize concealer unblended/slightly blended/fully blended.

Great Foundation Hunt: MAC

I have been on a mission to find my Holy Grail foundation. I have a few currently in rotation, but I'm not in love with them.

I stopped in at my local MAC to get some samples and my two fave MUAs were very helpful and generous. I received four options from their range.

Pro Longwear in NC15: this formula is a bit too thick and mask like on me. I found it too be a bit high maintenance for me, too. I had a hard time getting it even, so this will be a pass for me.

Mineralize Satinfinish in NW20: I really liked this initially. It feels light on my skin and offered a nice level of coverage...but in natural light it's do sparkly! It was way too much on my over 30 skin, so pass here too.

BB Cream in Light: I actually like this. It's moisturizing, comfortable on, and has decent coverage. The color is slightly too light, but workable.

Face and Body in N1: my favorite o the bunch! Nice, buildable coverage. Easy to work with formula. Great color match. This is definitely a contender!

I have a few more to review and a few I want to try, but I did find a couple of nice options at MAC.

Have you found your HG foundation?
