I couldn't have my top ten foundations without mentioning the wonderful MAC face and body foundation. This is a water-based, water resistant foundation and although tricky to use, when you get the hang of this foundation, it offers a sheer coverage and lasts all day. This MAC foundation comes in a watery texture, which can be used sparinging as a tinted mouisturiser but can also be built upon for a lot more coverage. It is perfect for all day events when you need a long-lasting finish. The down side of this product is that you get through a lot quickly, due to the watery texture. This is suitable for all skin types.
