MAC Mineralized SkinFinish
Natural in Medium
Hey guys! Sorry
I have not been posting regularly, I’m currently working full time so I don’t
have much spare time to do reviews but I’ll definitely post 1 up every week. As
you can see from the title, today we are going to be talking about the MAC
mineralized skin finish natural. I can’t believe I have not done a review on
this yet because I have been using it every time I am going out recently and I am
absolutely in love with it.
Swatches
Pros:
It gives
the most natural, flawless finish to the skin. The powder is very fine and it
blurs out all the minor imperfections that the skin has. I am always faithful to my Revlon translucent
powder for setting any concealer or foundation (I don’t really use
foundation/BB on a daily basis) but it does make me skin look a little dry and
cakey.
This magical powder on the
other hand makes the skin look even
better after a few hours of application. When I first bought it, I thought
it would just be another expensive yet ordinary
setting powder, maybe a little better than my Revlon translucent powder that I
normally reach out for. But its performance
is pretty astonishing. Give it a little time and it will melt into your skin and create a flawless canvass. Even after a long day, my face still looks fabulous.
It leaves a smooth, satin finish that is not shimmery at all but reflects light amazingly. For
reference, I am a NC25 and I use Medium shade.
The product comes in a dome shape that all products in the
mineralized line has. I have been using it religiously for around 3 months now
and I haven’t made a dent yet. It
does produce fall outs quite easily
but most compact powders do as well and it doesn’t bother me that much.
It is pretty
compact, definitely more travel-friendly
than my loose translucent powder, and useful for travelling or on-the-go touch
ups. However, there is no compartment
for a brush or sponge unlike the MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation so you
do have to carry a separate brush or
sponge.
Cons:
The powder
is pretty pricey for a finishing
powder. If I’m not wrong it cost around SGD$35 at MAC outlets. Although the cost may be on the
pricier side, the product lasts forever
so do not hesitate on splurging on this item because it will be there for a good whole year.
I do not find it has any coverage at all so if you are
looking for a foundation powder I do not
recommend this. This powder only provides a nice satin finish to the skin. Many people use it as a setting/finishing powder. I use it over
my BB cream or alone on days where I am just running some errands I use it just
to give my face a little colour.
The only big con I find is
that this powder has no ability to control
any oils at all. I do get oily during the day but I really like the radiant look that it gives so I have to
blot maybe once every few hours.
As usual with many of the MAC
products, many reviewers find that MAC products break them out. My acne problem has stabilized a lot through recent
months so I did not break out from it at all.
It does not contain any mirrors or a compartment for any sponge applicators unlike the MAC Studio FixPowder Plus Foundation so you do need an additional
sponge or brush for any on-the-go touchups.
Yadda Yadda:
