Mineralize Skinfinish Natural: Medium (Avant Gold)

Would you buy this product again? Yes

Yes! Just as i am about to finish my Select Pressed powder, M.A.C released this natural MSFS. At first i was skeptical of how this would look on my face, as they looked boring in the pan. However, after testing out at the M.A.C store, I found that it gave a perfect matt finish to my face. So i bought it.

I wore this to school the next day after buying it. And i totally adore this! Not only it gives a flawless finish to my skin, my skin also felt velvety and smooth the whole day (I have non-oily skin so i don't know how this will turn out on people with oily skins). When i reached home, my face was still matte and smooth with little trace of oil on my face.
I highly recommend this. I am a NC20/25 for reference.

Would you buy this product again? Yes, I bought back-ups today.

Before we start, I'm an NW15 and I was skeptical when I saw them because the Light seemed too light and the Medium looked scarily orange for me but when I tried it at home it was perfect. It gives me a glow without making me look bright orange like bronzers have done in the past.

I have combination skin and an uneven complexion, resulting in me wearing primer,foundation,concealer and powder 24/7. Yesterday, I tried the MSF by itself and it lasted quite well. I only recall having to touch it up 3 times and friends commented about how healthy I looked. Today, I tried it over Smashbox primer and after two dustings before leaving the house at 11am, I looked in the mirror at 8pm and saw only a few slightly shiny areas.

I wouldn't recommend it for extremely oily skin, although it says matte, it still has a "glow" about it that threatens to turn into shine at any minute but, it would still look nice perhaps buffed into your skin before a matter powder.

Would you buy this product again? Definately!!

I got this in the mail yesterday from a specktra sale, and tried it out just today!! I didn't get these when they first came out because the MA who I talked to the day I went to get them told me that she really didn't think they would work as a foundation, and more like a loose powder.
It's mid-summer now in Australia, and I can tell you that it was HOT today. Nevertheless, I wore it today instead of either BE or EM. BE (and even EM) foundations tend to itch on me whenever I'm in very hot weather and sweat.
To cut things short, I sweat a great deal today since I had to run 1km in the blazing sun as I was running late. This didn't itch at ALL, and.. when I looked into a mirror at the end of it with dread to see how it had fared, I was amazed to see that my skin looked PERFECT... possibly even better than it had this morning.
This MSF makes the perfect foundation for me!! I Do find it a tad dark, since I'm NW15-NW20, so I'm on the look out for one in Light
The only down-side is the price... It costs a whooping $44 here in Australia

Would you buy this product again? Yes, it's my Hg foundation =)

I missed these the first time they were released, But luckily they re-released them last week, And I went and got some. I usually wear BE light which I buff in with the #182. But today I tryed using my #187 to buff the Skinfinish into my skin over my moisturiser, It looked so natural yet covered all my imperfections and evened out my skintone . I love this product, I just hope it's perm here!!

I used this as my finishing/setting powder for a year before switching to blot powder but I still reach for this often... asides from my small gripe that sometimes the plastic clear part of the lid comes out and I have to pop it back in, the packaging is neat and compact and it gives me this amazing glow. Sometimes I find that blot powder is really too powdery and matte and even though I NEED the oil control, MSF natural is still just lovely as a glow.
