REASONS FOR PURCHASE In general I do like a good highlighting product. I use a highlighter any time I wear makeup. Usually on my brow bones and cheek bones. I'd always wear my Benefit Highbeam and hadn't considered anything else until I noticed that MAC sell these little pots. I picked one up when I was passing a MAC store and was generally very pleased! WHAT MAC SAY "Versatile and multi-purpose, Cream Colour Base can be applied directly to bare skin, or layered over foundation, moisturizer, or powder. Apply with a brush, sponge, or fingers.

MAC Crème Colour Base I love anything from MAC as I think it comes across as a bold and vibrant brand. It always manages to lure me in and purchase something bolder than I would from any other make up range. The nearest MAC to me is at Newcastle or the Metro so when I am there I stock up.

They can be used on the eyes, cheeks or lips (though some shades are not suitable for the lips - a small leaflet is included in the box stating which). They can be applied to bare skin or layered over any other makeup be it foundation, ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this product after one of the MAC make-up assistants used it on me during a make-over. It was used as a highlighter on my cheeks so thought I would give it a try. It can be used on bare skin or over foundation.. It leaves area shiny and highlighted similar to Benefits high beam/ moon beam. I have it in 'hush' which is a natural colour. I use it to highlight my cheeks and use it on top of blusher. You only need a tiny amount for a subtle effect. I suppose you could layer it but I have quite greasy skin so don't want to end up too shiny! Overall it is a nice product, it is quite smooth cream. I probably prefer high beam as ...  Read the complete review
