Foundation That's Worth Your Money

Ever since I was allowed to wear makeup I have been a big fan of the liquid foundation. Recently I decided to try a different brand than usual. I wanted something that would hide my blemishes and acne scars that's when I learned that M.A.C. Select SPF 15 Foundation was the solution.

A water-based liquid foundation. Combines medium coverage with SPF 15. Provides a fresh, natural matte finish. Layers up, lasts long: helps protect the skin all day. Non-oily.


It goes on smoothly and doesn't blotch on your skin. What I use to apply it with is a blush brush (there are foundation brushes you can purchase instead), I dip it in water then pat it damp dry, put two drops of the foundation in the palm of my hand and then dip the brush in. Then I apply it to my face with a circular motion as if you were to apply blush or a bronzing powder.

Here is a before and after I applied the M.A.C. Select SPF 15 Foundation: Before-
- after

They have many skin tones, these are only a few. If you live near a M.A.C. store they might have more tones to choose from depending on your store.
The cost of a 30 ml / 1.0 US FL OZ in the US is $26.00 and another $4.00 if you wish to purchase the pump. I find that the pump helps to give you the right amount of foundation, where if you pour some out you might end up using to much.

Some other good foundation brands that are cheaper that I've used before this have been Maybelline New York- Pure Makeup, Maybelline New York- Dream Matte Mouse, Cover Girl- Clean Makeup
