I didn't like how powdery this finish was - it really brought out my pores, hence wasn't the best touch for my face.

I'm surprised, as normally I am quite happy with my MAC products.

im not very confident
because i bought it but the shade didnt suit me
i was a bit lighter for my skin tone
so the look was not upto the mark as i expected it to be
and my bucks gone vain

This is highly raved from MAC as giving you a satiny, natural finish. I have light olive skin and got mine in Medium Plus which is a little bit too dark for my liking. The next shade down, Medium, is a bit too ashy for my skintone.
Used as a foundation and buffed into the skin, it's not that natural looking. You can definitely see a powdery finish, and coverage is just so-so. You can try using it wet, but then you end up with a streaky look.
It works better as a setting powder, but for the price that MAC charges, you are better off buying a cheap drugstore powder.
