MAC - Sheer Minerals Discussion

^lol now I need to order a backup of So Ceylon before it's gone. The dome shape is now getting smaller.

I just ordered So Ceylon from Nordstroms online. I have really fair skin - I was after Soft and Gentle but they didn't have it (I was using a Nordstroms gift card or I would have just gone to the MAC website). Anyone here with really fair skin use So Ceylon?

I am NC15/NW15 (medium fair?) and I love So Ceylon!

I'm paler than NC/NW15 and love it.

How do you all like Gold Deposit? (Those of you that own it.) I'd like to buy that one...

 

[Sanayhs]

Gold deposit tends to be too glittery for my tastes, but I'm a pretty matte-face kind of girl.

 

[barbie.doll]

Hmmm... I don't want to look too glittery either.

I just want a beautiful, bronzey glow. I hate the bronzers that are reflective like that but then have way too many sparkles, you know? I don't want glitter all over my face.

What would you suggest for a pretty, bronze glow?

^Try out the golden bronze loose powder from MAC it's part of the permanent line.

I recommend Trace Gold! Depending on your skin tone, it will deliver a soft sheen of gold. It's not a tacky gold, but more of a bronzy apricot gold. It's a sheertone shimmer blush - the shimmer is flattering and not over-the-top

Thanks nunu, I'll check it out.

Out of the MSF though, what would you recommend? Are they all too glittery?

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check that blush out too.

I totally agree. So Ceylon makes me feel warm inside. It's like the perfect finishing touch of sunkissed glow

and I nearly died when someone in the other thread said it was Perm now. It turns out it isn't.. but I can keep dreaming

I love Gold Deposit! I only use it when it's nice outside when the sun's out so that Gold Deposit can show in the sunlight, which is really pretty! I do want another So Ceylon and I'm sad that it's not permanent. I wish So Ceylon was perm since it's a really awesome MSF!

I used So Ceylon exclusively on my cheeks today. No other shades for contour, blush, highlight, whatever - this did it all! So pretty.
