#aboutface I have always been a fan of MAC powders because of the fabulous coverage it gives even when you use it on its own. Honestly, when I received this powder, I had no idea how to use this because this is the first time I came across it being one of those people who stuck with their MAC Studio Fix foundation for a long time. I was a little pissed with my current makeup base that day I received this powder and I just couldn't wait to try and use it with the current liquid foundation I had at home and see if it will at least bring my foundation to life. True enough, this skinfinish natural did such an excellent job on giving my somewhat pasty liquid foundation the most natural look on my skin that I call this powder the miracle powder. This is quite expensive for a compact though but by using it with a powder brush, you get to use it for a long time.

Believe it or not, with my fair skin, I am an NC 35, so I guess with my skin tone and shade, the medium shade suits me most, making my makeup look so natural. This medium shade goes very well with my skin tone, there are times I find it a little bit pinkish for my skin tone which shouldn't be the case but I found that after a few hours, it blends in naturally making my foundation look flawless and seamless. This Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder is available in 8 shades: Light, Light Medium, Medium, Medium Plus, Medium Deep, Medium Dark, Dark, and Deep Dark. Don't be confused with the shades because they truly are quite confusing, so I suggest consulting with a MAC makeup artist to help you find your real shade. There are times where I do not wear anything under this powder and just brush it on top of my bare face and it still gives coverage that makes you look naturally flawless.
For weeks I just kept using it because it was the powder that was most accessible to me in my bathroom. And for some reason, I really found myself reaching for it a lot these days. It has super fine illuminating particles in it that doesn't make you look shimmery, but it gives your skin a really dewy finish after wearing it for a few hours. During the super hot summer months, it even made my oily T-Zone oily matte for an extra hour or two compared to using another foundation. I find myself getting a lot of compliments when I wear this powder, with or without liquid foundation under it.
I guess it's safe to assume that it’s the powder that’s giving me a very luminous, natural, and even looking skin tone. It sets into the skin like magically. It has a barely there finish that everyone is very obsessed with nowadays. When I use this powder, you can't tell if I have makeup on or if I have anything on my skin. Well, at least for me though. Maybe it's also because the shade matches my skin tone closely. Not a perfect match yet, but it's pretty close.
M.A.C Claims: A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day The first thing I ever purchased when I started experimenting with make up was the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. The reason that I decided to start off with this is because the make up artists told me that this product had coverage, but not enough to be visible to eyes. It's also buildable, lightweight and looks natural. When I first started applying this product I would use the Sonia Kashuk Highlighting Brush, since the brush itself is duo fibre it allowed a lightweight but airbrushed finish of the skin. When I wanted to move up in coverage I asked the M.A.C Make Up Artists about the Studio Fix.
She asked me what I was using on my face because it already looked good. I told her that I was using the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus. Instead of suggesting a foundation that was higher in coverage she suggested the Fix + (spritz of vitamin and minerals, review coming soon). That in itself gave me awesome coverage without looking like I was actually wearing make up.
I own Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in two shades, Medium Plus and Medium Dark. The reason that I owe them in two shades is because in the winter I can go with Medium Plus and to contour or during the summer I can use the Medium Dark shade. To set my Prolongware Foundation I use my Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus to town down the pink undertones in my skin. Therefor giving me a natural even tone. I have also ran in to the problem where my shade is no longer matching me because my skin darkened during the summer, so instead of buying a darker shade of foundation I dusted on some Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark. That itself saved me not only a trip to the M.A.C Counter, but also money on a new foundation. Not only can the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural be used to set and give warmth to your face, but it can also be used alone.
This product itself is a product that I seem to purchase time after time. It's truly one of my favorites. Pros: Light Weight Buildable Natural Used for Setting Gives Color/Warmth Cons: Low Coverage http://makeup4men.blogspot.com/. Having many facial imperfections, I would not use this as a foundation/powder. If I had good, clear skin that would be a different story and I'm sure it would be perfect. However, I do love this as a setting powder for my liquid foundation. It's light, matte, and it never looks cakey or powdery.
I love the finish and it's one of my most used setting powders. I wouldn't say it controls oil, but it's not a dealbreaker. I apply this with a fluffy powder brush or kabuki brush. It melds into my skin beautifully and it looks natural. Price is steep for a light powder, but it's worth it.
I can honestly say this is my go to powder.I reach for my MSF more then any other product I own. It leave such an amazing finish and is a very versatile powder. I use it on its own, with long wearing liquid foundations and with light weight liquid foundations and the end result remains the same: beautiful, glowing, natural skin. Another great thing about this powder is the fact that you don't need a lot of it. Just a light wash on the t-zone or all over the face and your look is complete.This is definitely one of my holy frail products and the best part of it all is it doesn't break me out:).
