buffy, does the MAC give a dewy natural look or is it matt?
Hi cherished - hmmmmm, I'd describe it as a satin finish, so it's a 'natural matte'. Not completely flat like a matte foundation though, if you get what I mean?

For something with decent coverage but more on the dewy side, you could try the Revlon Colourstay version for dry skin or:

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - this is one of my new favourites, good staying power but still looks like skin
Jemma Kidd Light As Air Liquid Foundation (available at Kit Cosmetics, in Myer, DJs and online)
M.A.C Select SPF Liquid Foundation

I don't work for M.A.C, I promise - I've just tried most of their products and use a lot of it in my kit
