I love this foundation! It is perfect for oily skin.
The application is effortless as it blends out easily and although it sets quite fast, you have enough time to work with it. The coverage is pretty full and the finish is airbrushed and flawless.
It lasts the whole entire day on me (even without priming) - wow! It does not fade, it does not break up and it controls oil like a boss! At R460.00 it is a bit more expensive than the majority of the MAC foundations, but it does come in a 35ml size.
The shades run more on the yellow side and the foundation does oxidise slightly after a few hours. For shade reference, I am usually an NC20 / NC25 and in the Matchmaster I am a 2.0.
I inserted a pic of how well the foundation held up even after 12 hours of wear with no touch ups. Gosh, did I mention how much I love this foundation!!!???

I have an event coming up in a week and needed a foundation. When I went to my MAC counter i was amazed to see how incredible the Matchmaster foundation actually matches the skin. Not only did I have a flawless finish but it looked natural too!! Its my new favourite!!

My first ever foundation, and it's perfect!
This foundation seems like it was made with me in mind. My skin is uneven and would fall ideally in the "hard to match" category. As I do not like looking like I have a foundation on my skin, I've always had a hard time finding one I liked-but this is it.
It is neutral toned, and offers medium coverage. It makes my acne scars fade away and my face look seamless while still allowing my natural skin tone to shine through. It takes a few minutes to adapt, but the result is perfect. It is very mattifying though, which can make one's face look dimensionless, especially if you have dry skin, but it's nothing some contouring and/or highlighting can't fix. With my super oily skin it absorbs excess oil while still letting enough through for that dewy look I adore.
A slight hitch is the price as it is one of MAC's more expensive foundations at around R350 I think, but both my mom and I were so happy with the result, we didn't really mind forking over my poor father's cash.
