MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural

This is the absolute best face powder ever! I use this to set my foundation or concealer, and it provides a low natural coverage with a natural matte finish. It doesn't feel like anything on your skin. For CDN $30, it's a bit of a luxury, but there is a lot of product in the compact as it is baked with a dome top.

It is also great to touch up after blotting the oilies after a long day. If you want a lot of coverage I wouldn't recommend this, but to set your makeup, this is as good as it gets. Highly recommended!

I've been looking for a mineral powder that I can use to help control shine and give a more matte effect so I picked up this product from the MAC store.

I've been using the 'medium' shade and in the whole 'Silkfinish Natural' range there are 8 different shade options.

This gives light-to-medium coverage depending how you apply it. I usually use a powder brush and just dust it lightly all over after applying by foundation, however I've also used a powder sponge when I've needed a heavier application. It doesn't come with a sponge so keep that in mind if you're looking to use it that way.

So far i really like the product, it does what I wanted it to do. It doesn't have any luminosity factor which sometimes I wish it did, although they have other silkfinish products that have that feature.

The only thing I wish it had was an SPF factor. I'd really like to find a mineral face powder that does so I can reapply throughout the day to protect myself and my skin!

I use the "Medium/Dark" as a bronzer and LOVE IT!! Very natural sun kissed look and you can layer it, so for night time I use a little more to look nice and tanned for pictures!

I really enjoy this powder. Coverage of this powder is not too heavy and not too light it is just right. I use a big blush brush to apply and it distributes quiet nicely. I have replaced MAC's Blot Powder with this product as it is more effective in achieving a natural look. My shine is taken care of without wearing too much on my face!!
