the SPF makes for a dewy shiny effect, its not as matte as I would like but if you avoid the Tzone and just do the rest of your face, it gives you a very nice finish.

This was one of the first mac products i had ever tried, and let me tell you, it is the reason i fell in love with mac and the reson why all my makeup is now from mac. Once you try Mac you never go Back. I highly recoment this product as well as Mac's powder studio fix as well. It hides blemishes, rinkles, and any other imperfections on your face.

I am disappointed in Mac for creating such a wack foundation. it doesn't cover up and wears off easily!
