Sadly, MAC's mist foundation didn't agree with my skin, I'm overly sensitive and I can't wear it daily, however, a spray foundation that emulated airbrushing fascinated me and I decided to try the Dior spray foundation and boy am I glad I did. First, the product texture is wonderful, sets beautifully and powder becomes optional. You can spread it with a brush (I use MAC's 187), sponge or your own fingers and it's super naturally with buildable coverage for those bad days.

Downsides, I'd say the scarce choice of colors and the fact that it isn't fragrance free.

I was so excited to purchase this as a special occasion foundation, and after reading terrific reviews on sephora.com I went for the $60 leap.
I applied it both by spraying it directly onto my face and then blending AND by spraying it onto MAC 109 first and then buffing it into my skin. I would advise using the spraying-it-onto-a-brush-first method for a few reasons: You waste less product, the coverage is more uniform (it can get splotchy when sprayed directly onto the face, as it dries fairly quickly) and lastly it doesn't get EVERYWHERE, like in your hair, on your clothes, on the ceiling...you get my point. Overall, the coverage is buildable and I would consider it to me a med. to full coverage type of foundation. And so onto my opinion about it. As much as I really wanted to LOVE this, I didn't. Sad day. First off, I tried both 202 and 200, and the colors were both off, with the 202 being to orange-y and the 200 pale-ing me out too much. Second, although the coverage was nice, I prefer a lighter coverage, but that is just personal preference. And lastly, I felt although it covered well it almost accentuated any area of my skin that was not uniform. I'll explain, I had an allergic reaction from a new moisturizer I was trying out that lasted a few weeks, and so during that period I decided to whip this out in hopes of making my skin more uniform (my allergic reaction looked like many tiny under-the-skin-pimples all across my forehead and cheeks) After applying this all those bumpies were magnified! YUCK.
So I returned it.
The End.
