Mac Mineralized Skin Finish Natural Review

Hey ya'll! Today's review will be on the Mac Mineralized Skin Finish Natural powder.
This is a rather well-known pressed powder from Mac which is known for its natural finish.
I am very eager to review this product and offer some opinions on how I feel about it.

Bought at Duty Free Airport at $45.50, 10g

-Perfect for contouring face and body
-For a wide variety of skin tones
-Features a 7- Mineral Complex
-Dermatologist tested
-Non-acnegenic

Sleek black matte packaging with mirror inside.

You can see the marble effect on the powder as it has a mineralized finish.

I allowed the sales consultant the counter to choose my shade and I think she hit it quite spot on.
(Ps: There are a total of 18 shades to choose from)


Here is how my skin looks with foundation and concealer, prior to setting.

Here is how it looks after setting lightly with the powder. 
As you can see, the powder is not super mattifying and the dewiness of foundation underneath is still peeking through.


I really like the finish as it is not too matte on the skin hence the healthy glow is still showing.
Additionally, my face no longer feels sticky from the foundation so that's a thumbs up.




After 7 hours, my skin has gone slightly oilier but the overall foundation has yet to melt, and it stayed perfectly intact. (No touch ups)

I personally feel that this is a great pressed setting powder if you are looking for a powder to set your foundation but wants to retain the slight dewy look. This is a really natural powder that does not cake at all and it does not cling onto dry patches either. I am in love with the semi-matte finish that it gives. I think it sets my makeup pretty well and my makeup lasted the whole day without fading. 

Pros
-Natural finish 
-Soft powder
-Does not cake up on the face
-Gives face a semi matte look which does not look too flat
-Does not cling onto dry patches.


Cons
-Does not provide high coverage
-Does not control shin
-Magnetic packaging is a little difficult to open.
-Expensive

Normal Skin Type: -Recommended-
*If you like a semi-matte natural looking finish to your look, you will enjoy this powder a lot.

Combination Skin Type: -Recommended-
*I have combination skin and I love this powder! I think it helps set my makeup as I have slightly oilier areas on my face yet still allow some glow to peak through. 

Oily Skin Type: -Not Recommended-
*As this is a rather semi-matte powder so oil your face will get oily by mid day as it does not set completely matte. Hence if you are someone who wants to keep your oil at bay, you might want to skip on this.

Dry Skin: -Recommended-
*This will be a great powder for you as it does not cling onto dry patches and is not completely matte like most powders.

Very Dry Skin: -Not Recommended-
*If you have really dry skin, it is best that you don't set your foundation at all as any powder might emphasize on very dry patches. However if you really want to set your makeup, you can still use this but with a very light hand.


Yes
I heard that alot of people use this as a bronzer as well so I will surely be trying that out as well!


4/5

"A great powder to set your face naturally without looking too matte or cakey."
