As always, no primer, powder or concealer. It hasn't concealed all my nose-crease redness or the slight marks on my chin (leftover blemish marks) but I'm totally okay with that. Here I've applied C1 lightly, with fingers, focusing on my flushed and problematic nose area and feathering out to nothing.

Full coverage would be a stretch, I don't think the good people at MAC created it for that purpose. I prefer it applied lightly for sheer coverage but you can let it set and apply another thin layer for medium coverage. Once you've conquered the application, MAC F&B is a beautiful product.

Don't even bother with a brush, it eats up the product like cray. If you cannot fathom such rigorous facial contact, then I will say that the Beauty Blender produces a more than satisfactory result but I still prefer fingers. My usual light hand resulted in patchy, uneven coverage. I work in sections: dispense just enough for that section (because it's already setting on your hand yo), spread and initiate rubbing and smacking. Turns out, Mary's technique matches her reputation- it really is the best way to apply MAC F&B. We all recoiled in horror as Mary smacked and scrunched that poor model's face (her expression is priceless though, you must admit).

(Fast forward to the 4 minute mark) It is water based so straight out of the bottle, the consistency is very liquid but you have a window of 30 seconds before the product starts to set, leaving you with a grippy/rubbery/sticky dilemma.

Let me first say that I pride myself on my ability to wrap my head around tricky textures (and sometimes shitty textures) so I was surprised that I encountered a fair amount of trial and error. There is also a white shade available for paler ladies and gents, if you don't mind mixing.

I own the parts of the warm C range because I have yellow olive-y skin and neutral foundations look ridiculous on me my winter match is C1 which fits my NC20 skin pretty well, if I'm looking paler than usual it's because I am! I'd eyeball C2 to be an NC-almost-30 and C6 is my bizarre shade for working on others who have enviable tans. Shade wise, F&B offers a bit of flexibility as it lacks the opaque base of most foundations on the market (semi-translucent quality, I'd say). Available in both 50ml (27USD) and 120ml (35USD) bottles, it is far more economical to buy Costco-style but don't get sucked in: F&B is notorious for turning quickly so opt for the smaller size if you only plan to use it occasionally (or keep the large size in the fridge and notify your family that it is not edible- seriously, my grandfather once ate my face mask).

Not the most glamorous packaging eh? It reminds me of craft glue or something and the glue comparison doesn't stop there, it also SMELLS like craft glue. Many months and three shades later, I bring you my final verdict.
