Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus Swatch
The Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural is a sheer, light coverage powder but still has excellent oil control. I prefer this over full coverage powders since I normally wear liquid foundation. This is indeed really good to use as setting powder after my usual liquid foundation. Since it's sheer, it just disappears on my skin while removing shine, without making my skin look flat.
The darker shades of this powder can be used as contour powders as well. So if you're looking for a nice soft looking powder contour, I would recommend looking into the deeper shades of the Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powders.
On good skin days, when I don't want to wear foundation. I just use the Mac strobe cream as base, then set it with this Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder, and finish it off with the Mac Fix Plus spray for a healthy, dewy makeup look.
Overall, I am really pleased with this powder and I'm really glad I bought it. The only downside to this is, it can get a bit powdery on the pan. I would recommend using a soft, fluffy brush to apply this all over your face.
How about you guys? What is your current favorite compact powder?
Until next time.
Cheerios!
