Most horrible powder on earth
I have used many foundations before and my sister gave me this Mac powder last month, along with seventeen foundation, it was the most horrible breakout month I have had in my life, and the more you use the more you have break outs. I just stopped it last week and now I am trying to deal with the scares left. Had to use it today to left my spirits up, and there u go again two new break outs, who ever made this is evil.

Pros:

-well, MAC is a reputable brand, and make several great products
-lasts a very long time

Cons:

-if you have oily or combination skin, everywhere that you become oily will change to a darker (usually orange) color
-it will make you break out by the end of the day
-I found I became more oily than usual with this on
-felt very thick, was "cakey"
-expensive

I wouldn't recommend this product. It changes colors and will most likely make you break out. Also, I don't think that it is non-comedogenic but I could be wrong. I don't think it says on any of the packaging.

Made me break out
I remember purchasing this several years ago when I was in grade 8, it was the first high end foundation I'd bought before so I had high hopes for it, also most MAC foundations I notice don't come in a shade pale enough for me and are too yellow undertoned so I thought a powder would be more forgiving... plus help with oil control better. The first time I used this I noticed the day afterwards that I had small whiteheads all over where I applied it and I've NEVER had that happen to me with any sort of product before, makeup or otherwise. I decided to give it a bit of a break then try it again in a smaller portion of my face and same exact thing happened... I think I gave this away to one of my friends and it worked alright for them but there's so way I'll be repurchasing this product again. Not sure which ingredient(s) may have triggered this reaction as I've been perfectly fine using other talc based powders in the past but it makes me somewhat reluctant to try other MAC foundations.
