All about Natural MSF's

Re: Skinfinish natural application?

I also apply it in a circular motion with a brush after moisturizing and dotting on concealer where I need it. It's my favorite foundation yet, since I hate, hate, hate thick or heavy coverage, but need just a little something to even things out and stop shine.

natural skin finish (mineral)

i know that the mas are supposed to throw away any returns.. used or unused....
but, i bought a natural skin finish today in med dark and when i opened it up just now.. it didnt look new to me. ive never bought a natural msf before so im not sure how it should look.. should it have like a circular swirl? or hetchmarks? i actually compared to to my glissade, and the med dark has less than it (a lower dome)... and my glissade has been used more than just several times. is it just me? or should the natural skin finish have hetchmarks

Re: natural skin finish (mineral)

Go back to the counter and ask for it to be compared to a brand new one just to make sure.

Because they have a different texture than the frosty versions, I find the foundation skinfinishes look the way you describe them and I have gone through three of them. They look more flat and don't have the hetchmarks the frosty ones do. Hth.

They aren't quite as domed, nor do they have hetchmarks. But if you think someone has used it, return it for sure!

Just don't drop it!! The silly dome makes it ULTRA breakable. =( I broke my mother's while I was stealing it to set my makeup... lol.

i use the182 brush. you can also use the 109. these give more of a medium coverage. try those brushes and see how you like the coverage. you can't use the msf natural wet like you can the regular msf. it will ruin it. the natural can only be used dry.

Re: Skinfinish natural application?

I've used the 182, 187/188 and the 129 to apply, mainly depending on how I feel tbh. =P I do find the 187 to give the sheerest coverage, however, and the 129 gives the closest to the 182 without spending as much time buffing into my face, which gives a great finish. Never tried it wet tho, but now that it's been mentioned, I might do so!

i love this product and have been using it since it got first released last summer, by the time i finished mine it became permenant, so now i'm using my 2nd (technically 3rd b/c i dropped my first one and it turned into dust)

i use 182 and 187 with it and apply to my moistured face, sometimes i also use primer underneath (Smashbox Photo Finish), and it evens out my skin and gives a certain glow (and doesn't look powdery at all). i don't use any other foundation/powder, undereye concealer and MSF natural is enough for me.

I think I'll have to pick up one. I love the consistency of the shimmery MSF and this seems pretty awesome.

 

[BloodMittens]

I love this stuff, it gives me a nice finish without appearing like regular powder.

I think this is perfect for people who get darker in the summer time but don't want to dish out the cash to buy new darker foundation when in a couple of months they have to go back to their lighter foundation. This is also perfect for people who can't find their perfect match. you can layer and layer this until your desired color.

personally, i think this is the most amazing bronzer, ever. no matter how much you load on, you will never look cakey. with mac bronzers, the more you load on, the more orangey you look. this is also a great contouring color because it has more brown undertones. mac bronzers (in my opinion) should be dusted all over the face instead of using it to contour your face.

I always dust this on for some color in the summer and winter over my SFF. This also takes away shine like blot powders but still gives me that dewy look!

Im an NC35 and I got the Med. Dark...it was a little too dark for me so I use it for contouring instead. Works really well.

do lots of people break out from these, too?? like me!

They're $24.50

I use Light and its good for finish without disturbing the attributes of foundation but otherwise I don't find it really adds anything. I can't see using it as foundation as some here have stated.

anyone know if these are getting discontinued? wondering if the rumors are true....thanks!
