It’s my fav. I wore it on my wedding day. 11 years later, marriage was a bust but this is forever ♥️
Dang it's lasted that long? *Clicks Add to Cart* ;)
Same. 😘

Is this for dry skin or oily?
Giiiiiirl... your face without makeup is unbelievably beautiful! I thought you were already wearing makeup! And the redness on your cheeks looks like natural blush 😍
Thank you so much!
Oh Mandy!! NO injuries! You hit your head and now this!!!
Thank you for updating this! I asked you to do this a few weeks ago! Thank you!
I love this foundation so much! Every time I use this I think WHY, WHY do I buy other foundations?!
Stay SAFE Mandy!!
Lots of love from Portland!
Lisa x
LOL...I know. I am a clutz lately! So glad you love it too!
Thank you for updating this. I love MAC Face and Body. This is so good for mature skin. It feels and looks like your skin but much better. Total HG!
Yay! So glad you love it too!
I agree with you. It’s fantastic on mature skin
It’s ironic you posted this video because I first found your channel through your initial Mac Face & Body video. I had never tried a Mac foundation as I’d heard many people say they caused breakouts. This foundation is beautiful and has never broke me out!! The technology which makes the very thin formula become “thicker” (in a good way) as it is rubbed into the skin is so unique.
Thank you for this updated video and for demonstrating the very best way to apply Mac F&B! 😘 🤗
You are so welcome! So glad you love it too!!
There really is no other foundation like this! I’ve been using it for years and have tried a TON of all the hyped up foundations and ALWAYS come back to this simply because I love the skin like feel look and the finish on this foundation and wear throughout the day is AMAZING! great video on how to apply and build up for coverage!
Thanks so much Kay! Glad you love it too!
I love Face and Body Foundation. I also love to mix it with Pro Longwear Concealer when I want a bit more coverage. It is really a dream foundation for a makeup artist who can manipulate products.
I literally just got my first bottle of this in the mail today! Perfect timing for this video - Thank You!
You are so welcome Kim! I hope you love it!
Wow what a beautiful foundation! It did look prettier when u came back on after you finished your makeup! I’ve never tried this before. Looks like I need to pick this one up! Thanks Mandy!
You are so welcome Robbie! I hope you love it when you give it a try!
I love this foundation!! I got it after your first video and have always have one on hand ever since!! I love mixing it with other matte foundations or prolong wear concealer for extra coverage. I took it out and used as I was watching this video!! 😁
So glad you love it too!!! xoxo
Receive mine today N3 is a perfect match - I love how natural and flawless this looks. Thank you for your recommendation
Yay! So glad it worked out for you!
I love this foundation and have the shade N3. It’s my favourite foundation as I like a light/medium dewy coverage x
Yay!! So glad you love it too!
A favorite in my kit as well!! Everything you said is spot on!!! Great advice for all!!
Glad you love it too Robyn!
Just recently bought Mac Face and Body. LOVE it! Thank you for the tip on adding another layer!
Yay! So glad you are loving it, and you are so welcome!
When you bought n5 , and mixed it with n1, knowing n5 was too dark could you have went back to say n4 or n3 , sorry I'm trying find the correct shade , so far I have c3 but not sure if it's the right shade on listening to your review with the C actually meaning warm and not cool . Ty
Looked at many tutorials for this but yours is the most informative and helpful..love this foundation
So glad it was helpful!
Hi Mandy! I recently rediscovered my MAC Face and Body! I have never used my fingers to apply. I'm gonna try that today! My color i use is N3 and I am floored by how pretty it is! I say that because I soooo many foundations and the perfect one was in my drawer all this time!😁👌
I hope you end up loving it applied with your hands!
Thank you so much for this video. I like Mac products and use the Waterweight and the Studio Fix foundations. I have been interested on the Face and Body foundation for a long time but was not sure about the coverage, but it looks beautiful on you.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this. I love Mac face and body. I often mix with other foundations to lighten them up.
So glad you love it too!
I’ve never tried MAC face and body but it looks and sounds like everything I love in a foundation. It’s stunning on you; hope to give it a try one day soon. Hope your lip feels better too! Happy weekend and congratulations on selling your home so quickly. That’s great news! 👍😘
Thank you Susan! My lip is finally starting to not hurt. It turned purple the day after this. Not too pretty. And thank you about the house. We are beyond excited!
I love the Mac Face & Body, it's so easy to work with, and I like the natural coverage.
So glad you love it too!
Thanks so much for this demo of this foundation! I was going through some makeup and came across this. I will definitely try your technique because I didn’t care for this makeup much but didn’t try using my fingers. Looks beautiful
You are so welcome Joy! I hope this technique works out better for you.
I will definitely try your technique. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome Nadine!
This is the best foundation ever, and boy have I tried most over the last fifty years. F&B is amazing
So glad you love it too!
I've been using face and body for over a decade. It's the GOAT 🐐 totally agree that it gets better as the hours go by. I can apply it before lunch, do running around, go out for dinner and drinks. Sleep in it and it STILL looks great when I wake up. I also don't feel it on my skin.
For special occasions I do the adding pro longwear concealer trick too. An artist at MAC showed me how. Great tip!
I also think it's great value and I love that the entire bottle and cap are able to be recycled ♻
It's the BEST!
It looks amazing on your skin... beautiful! Thanks for the tips.
Thank you so much!
I LOVE this foundation and I thank you for teaching me how to use it correctly. It works so much better when you apply with your fingers. I hope your lip heals up quickly - OUCH!
Yay! So glad you love it as much as I do!
this was soo helpful and you look great with the foundation, glad I watched the whole video!
I just subscribed :))
I am so glad it was helpful!
I love this as a foundation mixer - my current favorite blend is the it cosmetics original cc cream with the face and body. More coverage plus an amazing finish that lasts like crazy! (I have very dry, dehydrated skin with a bunch of redness, for reference :) ) And I use a brush with that combo :) I need to try out the fingers with the foundation by itself though! The finish on your skin was perfection.
Thank you Katie! I am so glad you love it too!
Been dying for a video like this! Thank you so much
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I’ve been dying to try face & body. Can’t wait to get it. And I love the tip to mix in the pro longwear concealer. I love & use that concealer. Side note, I’m waiting for my Jane Iredale correct to arrive per your rec. I always need corrector & I’m excited to try it.
Oh this makes me so happy. I can't wait to hear what you think of the Jane Iredale corrector!!
Perfectly done! Exactly how i planned to apply mine! Ty for the tip🤗
Glad it was helpful!
I love this foundation! 😍 I agree that you don't need aply any primer first, but I love to use it with the Becca Backlight priming Filter. I only aply this foundation with my fingers, is very easy and for me I have the best results. New subscriber here 😊
So glad you love it to and welcome!
I love LOVE Mac F&B and it has always been my go-to. I noticed you only used one hand to apply which took longer than it can. In the AM, I want to get ready as quickly as possible! Because friction is important to get that tackiness, I just rub some between my fingers on both hands for about 20-30 secs (or until I start to feel some resistance) and then apply using both hands in a circular and patting motion using both hands. Second layer, if needed, again rub between fingers first then tap on face. The friction of the rubbing between fingers first helps it start to thicken/get tacky so it applies quicker. This is a fast application and looks SO amazing! It kills me when I see people using a brush or sponge to apply it!
So glad you love it too. Yes, I like to apply it with one hand personally because I have very reactive skin and it gets super red if I am too intense in my rubbing in of products. I find this way keeps the redness down for me, but it definitely works great your way too. :)
Your skin is stunning
I unfortunately need more coverage.... This foundation looks beautiful on your skin. I'm so jealous ! ❤️
Thank you Carol! It is great mixed with fuller coverage foundations also if you have it and wanted to give that a try.
Looks beautiful! 🥰
Thank you!
Your makeup today is stunning Mandy......as it is every day 😘👍
Thank you Kay!!
I bought mine after seeing your review. Thank you for all the info 😊
You are so welcome!
Perfect timing. I pulled mine out from back of the drawer about a week ago. I mix in a tiny dab of UD Naked Skin , which is now discontinued. Back to the lab to test combinations 😥
Oh no! It's such a wonderful mixing foundation that I think you will find something else you love just as much! xoxo
Some girls look more beautiful without makeup!You are one of them!Lucky you!
I love this foundation, especially in warmer months. I like to mix it with other foundations too. I have the shades C1, C2 and C3. 😅
So glad you love it too!
I love this foundation too. However I have lots of hyperpigmentation on my face and neck. Any recommendations to mix it with?? Bc I do love it but like I said, I have a lot of hyperpigmentation. Thanks y’all. Oh I live in the south so it’s 100 degrees here, I work in healthcare, I wear a mask all day, and I’m going through menopause so yeah lol. HELP PLEASE..
Hi Mandy, I've had this F&B for many years and it's one that I'll never be without. Can't go wrong with this one! I had a credit on my account so I got the CT Instant Eye Palette!!!! I'm so excited you just don't know! I saved the video you made using it so I'm going to go back and watch it again! Would love to see more looks with this palette....You know how I usually save your eye looks and go back and watch them.
Sorry about your lip! That must have hurt like a "mother". Hope your getting better! xxoo
So glad you love this too Beverly! And I am so happy you got the CT palette. I know how much you have wanted it!
Love this 😍 thank you!
Thank you Jill!!
It took me forever to finally buy this! There was allways something new and "trending" to try first. But I will always have a bottle or two from now on. I'm a man and it takes some effort to get foundation to look undetectable on me, but Face and Body doesn't even catch in my stubble!
So glad you love it! And I agree...I don't reach for anything else for male grooming.
As soon as you said 'a swing' I had a nasty feeling I knew what you were going to say. The same happened to me and it knocked my front teeth out... but then I was only five and at least they grew again. But I hope your lip heals up quickly, I feel your pain 😳.
I love MAC Face & Body foundation. I usually use a stipling brush, but I'll definitely have a go at using my fingers. If it makes my skin look as flawless as yours, it'll be well worth the try 💙.
Oh goodness!! That's awful! So glad you love it too, and hope you can get the fingers to work for the application.
It also mixes really well with Studio Fix foundation surprisingly! 😀
Yes...it's a fabulous mixing foundation with many other formulas. The best!
Love Mac Face and Body Foundation! It doesn’t feel like you are wearing makeup 😊
Yes! It's so lightweight!
Beautiful I love the MAC Face and body foundation
Thanks! It's SO good!
@@MandyDavisMUA I'm 42 and I love it I have used it many years
Outstanding Facial Optimal
Wow Mandy! You are glowing, thank you so much for this info. I didn’t realize the reason why it didn’t look fabulous on me is because I wasn’t using my hands. Will try today! And your eye shadow in this is fierce. Have a great wknd!
Thank you Heidi! I hope you ended up loving it using your hands!!
Thank you for this video! I have this foundation and rarely use it because I didn’t know how. It looks amazing on you. Yes, I’m gonna wear this today! 🎉
Oh yay! I hope you end up loving it!
I have heard that this isn't great for oily skin, but I am so intrigued by this and always have been.
I am hoping stores open again one day where you can get a sample; if they even give out samples anymore. :(
I had $20 off at Macy's so I decided to pick it up anyway. This way if I don't like it, I can always chalk it up to a drugstore purchase gone wrong! Goodness knows I've made plenty of drugstore mistakes. There are also plenty of people I can.pass this along to if it doesn't work.
Prior to March I went to the Mac counter at my Macy’s and told I was interested in trying the MAC face and body...the artist told me I wouldn’t like it and moved on to someone else! Needless to say, that Macy’s has since closed permanently and I lost my closest MAC counter! I was in shock at her delivery to me and just kinda walked away! I’ll have to check it out in the future! Gorgeous look, my friend! 🥰🥰🥰
Karen Head -I also had a very negative experience at a Macy’s MAC counter over an other issue. (I was told not to bother looking at shimmer eyeshadows because I was too old.)
This makes me so upset Karen! They should be ashamed of themselves!!!
Gorgeous!
Thank you Kandy!
This is my all time favorite foundation! I love the finish, the wear and the effect it gives my skin. Such an underestimated foundation. I'm in c3 and I always buy 2 bottles of the 4.0 oz. Bottle just so I'm always covered.
So glad you love it too!
Sabrina Casto how would you describe your skin Tone? Are you light or fair complexion?
Georgous look!! Be blessed.
Thank you Sherie!
Thank you for this! I was wearing a primer and it seperated really bad on my forehead!
Thank you for re-reviewing this! I wanted to check with you via watching this video, to see if you set this with powder bc I noticed many ppl say they do not want to ruin the "glowy" finish this gives. To that, I say try a setting spray, but maybe it wouldn't work with this, anyway. I did not understand which other product, or foundation, you said you mixed into FAB for the client who needed more coverage. I will look in the info box to see if you mentioned it, but I'm always interested in which products happen to work well together when combined as you described, and since this is my #1 foundation for when I want to be sure to look fairly good for a few hours, I dont want to miss any new ideas, or old ideas, on a good way to use this.☺
Edited to add: I have this foundation in both C2 and N2 and also a bottle of the white mixing medium as well. I'm now storing then all in the refrigerator because I've heard a lot of ppl say that this can turn a little strange if it gets too hot or old. I've only had it for about 6 months.
Hmmm....I haven't had mine turn bad, especially after 6 months, but keeping it in the fridge definitely won't hurt. I like to mix it with the MAC Prolongwear concealer for more coverage. I just did that on a client this past weekend and it never ceases to look amazing. There are a lot of powders that won't dial down the glowy look. Some that come to my mind are the Glo Skin Beauty Perfecting Powder and the Hourglass Veil Powder. :)
@@MandyDavisMUA Thank you for tgt info on thr prolongwear & also the powders.
I thought you were already wearing makeup at the start of the video. You have beautiful skin. Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much!
That is truly a unique foundation - you have to experience it to understand - I wasn’t interested until I started getting dry. I would never use a sponge. My dog’s head hit my mouth as hard as you can imagine (bad timing) and I had a fat purple lip for a week!!
Oh no!! Yes, mine also turned purple the day after this. Not fun at all!
Excellent video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
one of my holy grail
So glad you love it too Tracy!
It's my go to.
I’ve been adding faceNbody to my tinted sunscreen rubbing it in perfection!!! I sweat like a faucet when I get hot my face and head sweat 😓 uncontrollably it’s very unfortunate this holds up once the sweating calms down I don’t have weird wet marks all over it just settles right down still looks awesome
So glad you love it too!!
Mandy Davis MUA 🥰
If you want more coverage in some areas you could also mix in some Prolongwear concealer for fuller coverage too.
yes I mention mixing it with that concealer in the video. :)
thanks for vid pretty lady. be safe
Hi Mandy, have you tried the new MAC Studio Radiance F&B? Would love to hear your thoughts! The OG is my all time favorite 💗
I haven't tried that one yet, but it's on my list to get soon!
Hi beautiful !! Love this foundation even though it doesn’t cover my broken capillaries. Question: do you use this over your daily tinted sunscreen ? I have both but haven’t tried it yet. 💕
Yes! I find it works great with pretty much all my spfs that I use. My fave to use with it is the newer First Aid Beauty Mineral Tinted Sunscreen. :)
Mandy Davis MUA
Thank you for your reply ! Oh darn ! I just got the Elta MD one but I’ll look for this new one ❤️
Ouch! Sorry about your lip. Enjoyed watching, I think I’ll give it a try. 😀
Thank you Lora!!
Thank you for this !!! I was curious on your thoughts about the shades - If I'm REALLY neutral and super pale and just want to even out redness - should I mix in N1 + C1 + White for the perfect shade?
You probably don't need to mix both the n and the c, just one of those and the white should work. And if you have a good deal of redness, I would look into the C. The warmer undertones will help balance out the redness. :)
Awee thank you for taking the time to reply! I really appreciate it
Gorgeous skin :)
Thank you Sandy!
Do you know what shade I’d be if I wear 220N in Anastasia Luminous foundation? I tried the MAC shade finder but depending on my lighting it changes! It picked a NW25 and then I did it again and it said C3! So confused.
Happy Friday Everyone
Your skin is beautiful!!!! How do you think this product compares to the Dior Backstage foundation?
I have the same question. Great video! Thanks
@@jodyasmith3666 Not the same at all. Dior just copied the bottle and name . Dior is a more mediumish type coverage without the radiance of Mac.
I agree with Lauren....to me they are completely different. Dior is more matte and heavier coverage and also feels heavier on the skin. 🥰
I’m oily love the finish but it doesn’t last on me don’t know why ! But I’ll try it again ! It last 3 hours and I get extremely oily. ❤️ I agree glass skin ! When I have mature skin clients that want coverage I mix this one in and they love it !
Hmmm...I hope you can get it to last longer on you!
How well does it work for wearing on your legs in the summer? Will it come off on the car seat? Thanks Mandy!
I haven't tried it on my legs for that, but I have used it on brides backs and chests before and there hasn't been an issue. I just haven't tried it all day on legs against car seats, so I would hate to say wrong.
I wish you would have shown how you applied your concealer over it. Did you apply with a damp beauty blender? How did you apply it? Thanks
Yes, I always apply my concealer with a damp sponge. :)
Hi, I am warm toned and cool too..I got c3 and just a tad too yellow. If I mixed a drop of n3 do you think it would balance it or should I just go down to c1 and mix?
The C line in general is going to be yellow, so if you are wanting to balance it, I would go with a shade from the N line. :)
Hi Mandy! I was told the Mac face and body is going to be discontinued. Stock up now on the large bottles while you can! Lol
I just ordered the "new" one. I hope they didn't mess with it too much.:(
@@MandyDavisMUA I was watching a review on it just now and apparently Mac said the “radiance” one is the same formula with newer shades, however the TH-camr I was watching did a side by side comparison on her face (radiance vs original) and it looked like the radiance one was much more dewy and sheer/less coverage. She compared the ingredients and they do seem to be the same except one ingredient that was towards the bottom was moved towards the top. Not sure why they looked different on her face. The original looked nicer and more natural in my opinion but hopefully you’ll like the radiance one. Looking forward to seeing more reviews on it! ☺️ i just ordered two 120ml bottles of the original FB on Mac’s website since it appears they still have some shades in stock for now before they completely phase it out 🙈
I'm dying to try this! I've never tried anything MAC before...it's on the top of my list when I can finally get color matched!
I think you will love it!!
I’m interested in trying this but my concern is that working it in would disrupt the layer of sunscreen on my face leaving my face unprotected. Looks beautiful on you and your skin is so pretty!
If you use a chemical sunscreen I would let it set for 15ish minutes to create the protect layer you're looking for and then apply makeup on top.
Alot of chemical sunscreens from k-beauty leave lovely finishes for applying makeup on top of on by design. I like the missha with the pink top for a matte almost powdery finish, or canmake mermaid gel for a light not to heavy bit of hydration.
It's not the point of the video or your question, but I also recommend a powder foundation with spf or spf powder for light/no makeup days. Pur pressed mineral foundation is good for a smidgen of spf, some coverage and a very skin like texture, or again K beauty has some higher spf powder with varying levels of coverage. I have a few that are like setting powder sheer with a pa+++ rating so I can pack it on for a really lazy sunscreen reapplication. And, of course, a cushion foundation usually has a high spf rating. I wouldn't be the cushion foundation as my sole spf application, but I always feel good when I touch up knowing that I'm reapplying a high spf product.
This was long, but I'm very passionate about spf feeling good to apply and be as easy as possible cause I'm lazy.
@@Poorstargazer23 I wasn’t sure if the sunscreen layer would get disturbed even if it is fully dry , but I’ll give that a try. Thank you for the great suggestion. 😊
Thanks for your tips on using Face and Body! I have been contemplating purchasing this foundation for a while, but cannot tell from swatches online whether N1 would be light enough for me. How light is N1? For reference, I wear NC15 in Mac Studio Sculpt and NC10 or NW13 in Mac Studio Fix Fluid. Unfortunately, lightening F&B with the white shade is no longer an option -- it seems to have been discontinued. :( I hope you can offer some guidance!
I don't currently have N1 in my kit, so I can't recall the exact lightness. I do still have some of the white left, so I just use that as a mixer. Temptalia's blog has a great foundation matching formula that would probably be a great help.
@@MandyDavisMUA Thank you! I will check out Temptalia's foundation-matching guide!
Can you recommend a drugstore concealer that will work well with this foundation please.
I haven't had a concealer that doesn't work with it so far. My fave from the drugstore is the Revlon Candid. :)
If you had only one color, what would you get? I'm thinking N3?
I match you on foundations and want to try this, especially for mixing with foundations I have but dont use..
Yes, N3 is great for me. :)
I was wondering when mixing prolong concealer how to choose shade ...I use N3 in FNB..but what shade concealer?. Do they have corresponding shades?
They don't have the same shade numbers...the prolongwear concealers are like the rest of their foundations (ex. NC25, NW37). I personally wear NC25 in the prolongwear concealer.
Is the Dior face and body the same? I never know which primer to use with which foundation. I have foundation ball up . I have been using the Charlotte Tilbury magic cream . Which foundation plays well with that? Thanks and have a great day!
Donna Nixon great question, I have always heard the formulas were comparable. Loved to know if this technique is applicable to the Dior.
I don’t find them to be the same at all in my opinion. Dior is much heavier coverage and has a more matte finish. I can apply the Dior with a brush and have it apply fine. I think the only comparison to make between the two is that they both can be used on the face and body. Hope this helps! Oh, and as far as the magic cream....it should be fine with most foundations. The trick with that is to use a tiny amount because a little goes a long way. And if you have time, let it sink in a bit before applying foundation.
Mandy Davis MUA Thanks so much very helpful! Always enjoy your channel.
Did you try the radiance version yet? I’m curious why you mixed shades and not use N3 say.
I haven't, and it's because these were the shades that I have. :)
You mentioned primers but what about SPF? Any suggestions?
Hey Marni! I haven't had any issues with any of my SPFs under this foundation; most shouldn't be a problem. :)
Regretting getting the Dior backstage .... am going to get this instead Xxx Thankyou
You are so welcome!
What shade would you recommend for NC44?
i’m not the person in the video, but c5 or c6. probably c6.
Hello not sure if you'll see this comment but I really hope you do! I love this makeup and was about to repurchase, but I have to wear a face mask every day (I'm at University and study in the library a lot) and face masks are mandatory. Do you think that this foundation wouldn't hold up well under a face mask? Thank you hoping you can give me your opinion ♥️
Hi there!!! I don't think this is the worst candidate for mask wearing, but for an all day thing, I would definitely check into powder foundation. I used to be so against it, but I have fallen in love recently, and NOTHING holds up like it under a mask. I have a ranking video where I talk about 15 different ones. I hope that may help!
@@MandyDavisMUA thank you sooo much, great great great advice ♥️
Whenever my foundations are starting to look too cakey and unflattering I know it's time to go back to my fav Face & Body foundation, I don't know why I bother straying. It's pretty much the only liquid foundation that I enjoy.
It is definitely one that never fails for sure!
Would you say it’s similar to Nars sheer glow foundation ?
No, I think NARS has more coverage and is a bit less luminous on the skin. :)
Mac F&B is a cult favorite for a reason. It is light , radiant natural coverage that so many other products are trying to achieve . It's 4 oz. Very cost effective compared to other products. I have used it almost daily for years. It's has a form filmimg technology that enables the product to enhance your skin and help it glow. Your hands are the only way to use this product . The warmth of your hands gently rubbing allows the chemistry to thicken and set up. Mandy is correct, slight tapping on layer two in areas will add more coverage. If you need / want more than that then this is not your product.
So glad you love it too Laura!
Does sunscreen work well under this? If so, which ones?
Yes, I find it does. The lighter weight, serum best will be the best to use under something of this consistency. La Roche Posay makes great ones.
Have you come across any Green Beauty dupes for this product ? Would love to know !💕☺️
Hi there! I haven't come across any dupes from either green or conventional lines as of yet. This formula is just so unique it would be hard to duplicate. :)
How does it compares to the Dior backstage foundation ?
I find it has less coverage and is a bit more hydrating than the Dior.
Can you address how to use this to add a little cover to my super white hands and feet on a hot summer day. Would this Work, almost like a self tanner?
I probably wouldn't use it daily only because it would get expensive, but it could work in that respect for sure.
Would you apply sunscreen before the foundation?
Yes for sure. I always wear SPF under all of my foundations, even the ones that have spf in them as well.
Your skin without makeup is so gorgeous! 😍 what kind of sorcery is this 😅
LOL...thank you!
