What is face foundation? It’s a makeup formula that helps smooth and even out skin tone and texture. Foundation also helps create an even base for other makeup, like blush and bronzer. Depending on the level of pigment and opacity, foundation may also camouflage blemishes and dark spots.

Foundation comes in multiple forms, including liquid, cream and powder – with sheer to opaque formulas and all types of finishes, such as satin, radiant and matte. M∙A∙C has a variety of formulas and finishes for all types, all tones and all textures – in a wide range of all-inclusive shades.
