Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I was thinking of getting this but I don't know how good it is.
Anyone use this?
I could use some reviews please. Does it cause breakouts like the studio tech?

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
i bought it, used it twice and now it just sits there =(
its pretty light coverage, definitely not enough for me. It gives your skin a "dewy" look, but for me it just equaled a shiny, sorta sticky mess.
but i'm not sure about the breakouts, didn't use it long enough to find out!

Yeah I read that it doesn't cover as much. I actually wanted it for a dewy look but does it look dewy and moist or just plain oily?
I would be better off with a highlighter huh?

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I have it and I actually quite like it. I'm not sure if it was the thing that was causing me to break out, or if it was just my own imbalance, so I'm afraid I can't help there. It does give a very nice dewy look and I find that if used with Stuido Fix concealor it gives me enough coverage. The first time I used it my bf said my face was glowing, so that it does a good job of!

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
Okay so if I have combination skin then I shouldn't use something that would make my face look more oily? I find that I have a natural glow but to me, glow and dewy are entirely different things. I want a dewy look, a moist look. Do you have any pics of it on mariecinder?

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I tend to have oily skin so I use Blot Powder with it. I don't have a picture though, sorry.

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
i like it
i use with with select sheer powder over the top, and i end up with a nice subtle glow.
it is quite light coverage - so if you like a heavy coverage foundation it won't be for you.

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I am testing this out right now. Actually, have been for the past two weeks and oh my, I am loving this foundation. But I do not wear it by itself. My skin is way too oily and I need (AND WANT) a lot of coverage, so using this foundation on its own just didn't work for me. But as soon as I made my custom blend/mixture of Studio Fix Fluid and Satinfinish (in two different colours as well)... the results floored me.
Even my ass't manager at my store was like "Wow, your skin looks amazing. So bright!" And for the rest of that day, I was receiving so many compliments on my skin and what I was using. I wore it on one occassion with Studio Fix powder over top and the "glowiness" still shined through and my face didn't appear as flat as it normally would if I was just using my normal products of SFF and SF powder (which means that I have to use a lot more blush/highlighting products to contour and highlight my face to give it some life).
So far no breakouts either. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
Thanks so much! Now I think Im gonna try it out myself. My face has finally cleared up almost entirely from my cystic breakout from studio tech ughh but this may seem like something I'd like. And of course I would use studio fix foundation to give me better coverage.

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I love this foundation, its the only one i use! I can't have really heavy coverage because i have some freckles so it looks masked but it goes on beautifully and looks amazing if you use a MSF to top it off! It also matches my skin pefectly. I have another MAC foundation, studio fluid or something, and its horrible! It looks orange on me and if you touch my face, the foundation starts to peel and roll off!! I hate it! My skin looks flawless with the satinfinish. I'm going to open my 2nd one this weekend. My first bottle lasted me from feb-nov. I need to buy more back-ups!!

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I hate it.
If you have any imperfections in your skin, texture, pores, etc... Don't buy it. It will highlight all of them.

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I have blemished skin, very oily
i got this foundation from the website and i picked NW20 as NW15 was out of stock but when it came it was the perfect colour for me! [swatch was quite dark on website but i thought id get that one as i was going on holiday and would get a tan]
I wore it for the whole holiday [well apart from during the day] and coming home i wore it and it looked nice, gave medium coverage but by the end of the day it was sliding off my face probably coz im very oily.
It does give you a dewy finish but it doesnt look oily
I stopped wearing it when i got my BE mineral foundation and veil
Then last week i started wearing it for my new job with mineral veil over the top.. it looks nice and doesnt slide off my face now  i dont wear it all the time though as it does tend to break out my skin if i wear it everyday so i alternate between MAC and BE and it seems to be fine!
hope i helped ya

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
I went to MAC yday and an MA advised me not to buy it. She said it doesn't cover as much and it doesn't provide the dewy illuminating look that most people think it does. She said it really doesn't do anything for you and a better alternative would be the Hyper Real SPF15. Because it provides smooth pearlescent finish formulated to make the skin reflect a natural health and vibrancy. And it has medium coverage.
I didn't end up buying it though as I stocked up on more e/s lol

Re: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation
