MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural



I know I'm probably the last person to jump on the MSFN bandwagon but I had a good reason: I absolutely hate powder foundation.  I can't stand a powder-y look on my face and they only seem to last about 10 minutes on my skin.  But on a whim I tried out my friend's MSFN and could not believe how well it worked, it gave amazing coverage and had a beautiful natural finish to it.

I've always been a liquid foundation kind of girl but lately I've found myself wanting something lighter and quicker to put on so I finally went out and picked up the MSFN in Light Plus.  This has become my go to every day foundation and I couldn't be happier with it!  I apply it with my Benefit Bronzing Brush and a light dusting over my face (with a little concealer applied beforehand) gives me the perfect amount of light coverage that lasts for hours and best of all it doesn't look like powder on my skin! :)

I can't believe it's taken me this long to pick up this product--but now that I've tried it it's something I'll be repurchasing over and over.

What's your take on this powder?  Love it or Leave it?

  1. I think I have a love/hate relationship with MSF. If I'm not wearing any foundation, I think it's a pretty good product to use on its own. Not great coverage, but enough to get the job done with some concealer. As far as setting any foundation with this, it can look cakey if you aren't very light and careful with the placement. I do love how creamy it feels for a powder, though.

  6. I loved this powder when I first tried it but now that I'm using MUFE's powder foundation now to set my liquid foundation, I haven't gone back to my MSFN yet. I should though. :) Great post!
