Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural - How to use?
Is MSF a powder to apply after foundation, or instead of foundation?

I tend to get a shiny face and love MAC blot powder for this.

I also have visible pores and asked the MA yesterday whether prep & prime would minimize pores, he said that MSF camouflages pores and evens out skintone more. Didn't buy it b/c I was not sure if MSF is the product I'm looking for.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

I use it over my foundation, too.
If you choose the color of your foundation, the MSF Natural will fix it. If you use a darker shade, you can use the MSF Natural as a bronzing powder or to shape your face contour.

By the way, I love normal MSF using as a blush.

I use msf naturals alone over moisturizer. It has fairly good coverage, I think using it over foundation could give a heavy look if one wasn't careful.

I use it to set my SFF, it's perfect. I apply it with my 182 kabuki brush.

I use it alone over tinted moisturizer, and I sometimes uses just over concealer. I use a kabuki brush to buff it on. It's my HG product.

I use it after my foundation. I swirl my kabuki brush in it, spray with Fix+, and buff it in.

Do you spray on the brush or on your face?

Re: Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural - How to use?
I also use it to set my foundation I used studio fix fluid in nc44 and satin mineralized finish in 45( my summer color) . I just brush it on lightly and then buff or blend it in to the foundation. I have tried using alone with just moisturizer but i don't like the coverage it just makes me look pale. I love the msf in warmed i use it as a bronzer and blush and have also used it as eyeshadow for a more natural bronze look.
