All about Natural MSF's

Re: blot powder vs. msf natural

blot powder definately, if what you want to do is curb oiliness.

natural skinfinish is a great product, but doesn't help with oiliness at all. if anything, when i use it, my skin seems to show oiliness more, espcially as the day wears on. the ethereal, airbrushed "glow" starts out great, but i need to touch it up every once in awhile, because the powder has avery faint sheen to it, to begin with. i particularly love the loose blot powder, applied with either the 150 or a kabuki brush, and alittle bit of fix+.

Re: blot powder vs. msf natural

blot powder.. because of all the above reasons. And because msfs shatter more easily than blot powders

Natural MSF

I have the Natural MSF in Deep Dark and I am really considering returning it. I got it as a lighter alternative to pressed powder for the summer, and I think I like it better than any of the mineral foundation powders I have tried. It is just so light, and it takes a heavy hand to get any coverage. I was just interested in seeing what other people thought about the product.

P.S - (Plus for some reason I am afraid the triangle of death is going to appear and I don't want to get hooked on something MAC is going to snatch away)

Re: Natural MSF

i get quite good coverage out of my msf natural light, it minimizes my red patches i have on the cheeks and i have to put two layers on maximum to get it all evened out.

why should there be a triangle of death next to it? i though it was selling ok and was made permanent?

Re: Natural MSF

I use MSF DD everyday and I love it. I tried it after seeing it at the CCO and immediately went back for a back-up. It gives a flawless application when buffed (I use MAC's 182). Oh, and was also a Mineral Makeup user.

Re: Natural MSF

i use the natural msf in medium dark .... it's my favorite go to foundation for easy and quick application. i love the way it feels and looks and was by far the easiest thing sold to me at the mac counter. i used the kabuki brush also to apply. i don't have a lot to even out or cover, but just the look of it after being applied, is soft, fresh, natural and an all around winner for me! i love it!

Re: Natural MSF

I too bought it for the summer, It is very light so it doesn't give me much coverage at all (I'm used to Studio Fix powder) but I love the feel of it. I have Med-Dark and I also purchased Deep Dark to use for contouring.
I don't think you should worry about MAC taking it away because last month they told me it's apart of their permanent range!

Re: Natural MSF

I love this stuff too. I have it in medium and I think this is the one item I will hit pan on as the dome is already flat. But it doesnt help that my friends oogle over it too and want to try it.
I was told it was perminant too. It better Be!

We shouldn't have anything to worry about since they brought it back after Avante Gold. It was popular enough to make perm.

I hope that happens to the Slimshines too!

Re: Natural MSF

I have Natural MSF in Light & Medium. my skin gotten too tanned for the light so i got medium.

if i were you, if DD too dark for you, get the next shade down. im not sure wether there's a shade darker than DD? Good news is that they're perm! yayness!

Re: Natural MSF

What I don't understand is how the Natural MSF are permenant but the shimmery ones aren't. I thought the reason the shimmer ones were always l/e was because it takes a while to make them, but if they are made by the same process how is it that you can produce a lot of one but not the other?

 

[Chic 2k6]

Re: Natural MSF

the Natural ones would be used alot more and also it's considered a powder foundation whilst the shimmery ones are more like highlighters that's special edition.

if something's in high demand such as Natural MSFs, MAC is more willing to go through the expensive process of producing Natural MSFs and even though shimmery ones are popular, there's not such a high demand in which is why they're limited.

that's how i see it.

Re: Natural MSF

I love mine. I use it over strobe cream. I think buffing it in really affects the finish.

Re: Natural MSF

this is my MUST have. I don't even need to use foundation, I just buff it in really well with a kabuki brush and it gives full coverage. Oooh I lied, I do use concealer on some acne scars.

Skinfinish natural application?

I have a Mineral Skinfinish Natural in Light and read about people using them as a medium/light coverage foundation.

How should you apply them to do this?
Like, more than just applying it like you are only setting your foundation.
Sponge? Brush (which one)? Wet? Dry?

Re: Skinfinish natural application?

I have used it on a few people (that exact shade) with the 187 brush. I dip the brush in, picking up a minimal amount of the product, and apply it lightly over an entire moisturized face in circular motions. That gives a subtle and natural but notable difference to the person. Finish with a light blush and you'll look great, but more natural and light. =)

Re: Skinfinish natural application?

I love using the natural MSF as a sheer foundation (also in light). I use the 182 with it and especially like the fact that it's good for one sheer coat but also buildable in areas where one might want more coverage. I use it dry and buff it in, never tried it wet so I don't know how that would work or look.

Re: Skinfinish natural application?

I use it as my foundation

Light for NW/NC15!

Just use the 182 to buff it in all over and you're set! If it's coming out too powdery, try a light spritz of fix+ over the top. Not too much though! I tend to leave it alone since it reaally wears nicely with time. I don't even get oily with it! In fact, it seems like the oilier i SHOULD seem... the more natural it keeps me

Re: Skinfinish natural application?

I swirl my kabuki on it and apply. I really like the coverage.
