MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light Review review ans swatch !

Just a quick post.. I want to share with you what I currently love to wear on my face these warm summer months here in our tropical country. 

MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural described as–

A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. It provides a perfect low coverage. Used to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.

Pros

  • Multi-functional for me, I can use it as a setting powder, highlighter, pressed powder, and/or powder foundation as it gives me a natural sheer coverage for days that I feel like having a perfect skin.
  • It gives that natural looking glow
  • smooth on skin, it doesn’t grease, no sticky feel during the day of wear.
  • It looks matte once applied, but when it set’s in~ it gives of that dewy look.
  • It does not give a white cast- stays true to its color.
  • It matches and blends in to the skin perfectly as if there’s no make-up on
  • It does not cake even with the number of touch-ups and layering
  • No break-outs or any allergic reactions.

Cons

  • the powder tends to scatter when you’re in hurry- if you’re not careful in dipping your fave brush.
  • Not for those who are looking for a great coverage.
  • not the best for super oily skin, you’ll need to re-touch through out the day.

Overall
I simply love the sheer coverage and the natural look that Mac Mineralized skin finish gives. Great for summer days and for those who loves to re-touch or layer as it doesn’t cake nor settle into fine lines.

Tips:

  • For super oily skin and you’re looking for a medium to heavy coverage: Go for some water based liquid foundations like MUFE MAT VELVET+,  Laura Mercier Oil-Free, Shu Uemura Face architect and use this MAC MSF on top of your fave liquid foundation as setting powder.
  • For combination, or dry skin looking for light to medium coverage: You may use this alone over a moisturizer or with any of your favorite tinted moisturizer
