here is my review that is also on the MM forum:
I tried this out today. I was going to this weekend, but I wasn't feeling good, so since had to go to work today, I thought I's give it a go.
I applied it with the 109, same brush that was used on me in the store, same brush I used to use for SFF. Applied like a dream, smelled like SFF, so no problems there. The only thing is that the color, 8.5 seriously had that MAC red/orange thing going on. I was instantly turned off and started to wonder about the color range. Like what colors are for the NCs in this new number system. I personally rather put the orange/red back in. That was the first thing I wanted to note was that I disliked the coloring. Application time was about 8am. I didn't use a primer. I wanted to try this on my skin alone.
A few hours later, about 10, I checked the foundation out in the bathroom mirror. My skin looked brighter, and it wasn't oily at all. I would have needed to blot SFF at this time. Inside the work environment, where there is AC, everything seemed to work out fine. Having a cold, I had to blow my nose a few times and the color is transferrable... I will take that into consideration, because there are products out there are are not and I rather invest in them. That can be a huge dealbreaker and I wonder why non-transferrable technology could not have been incorporated into MM. Winter is coming (HA game of thrones, i'm am so into that show and book, excuse me) and I hate when my foundation finds its way to my scarfs. MM is not going to workout in this aspect).
Another test was how MM was going to fair in the humidity. About 12:30, I went to lunch. It was humid out, and I drove around a bit, sat in the car and I really didn't feel any dew or anything on my skin. Curious, I looked in my review mirror and I didn't see any need to blot.; nor was my skin orangey-red. All I could think about was trying this foundation tomorrow, and really focusing on how it looks and how longs it lasts, how my skin looks, etc. I was so busy at work and I gave MM some attention, but not enough.
So cons are , I did not like the color it was when I applied it. It was weird because I could see a clear contrast between my skin tone and the color of the foundation. Its transferrable.
Pros: it didn't appear to stay the color it was when I first applied it. My pores also seemed to be handled. No need to blot. Color seems to change, but I have to monitor that more. Not sure if I like the coloring. I will look closer tomorrow.
I am going to try it tomorrow, because I am not 100% convinced, yet. I will say that the coverage was pretty good, I am not big into full coverage so it works for me.
