What the gurus are saying

The shade range skews toward yellow and orange undertones, even in the olive options, which may leave those seeking cooler or more neutral tones searching elsewhere. One creator found the formula itself promising among recent foundation releases, though the overall verdict remains mixed as the shade-matching challenge looms large for many skin tones.

"MAC tends to lean that way. Even their olive tones tend to be like a little bit too like yellowy orange. I'm going to use the shade Mont Blanc, which you can even just see from the packaging that it is a little bit too on the orange, like yellowy orange side."

"I've got the new MAC Foundation to try."
