i can't believe that the MA suggested that you use a sponge! i would NEVER recommend a sponge for anything! they apply too much product, waste too much product, and provide a less-than-pleasant finish that a brush doesn't. always use a brush. always!

oh wow, I didn't know that. I even bought some sponges at the counter. Thanks for the advice..can you recommend a good foundation brush? Why are the MAC brushes so expensive, are they really worth the price? I checked and saw that the foundation brush was £24.

Since you're having issues with how its covering, I'd suggest the 188. It covers just enough and shouldn't clump in your dry spots like denser brushes that apply a heaver coverage, such as the 190 or 191.

TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS FOUNDATION, WEAR IT ON IT'S OWN FOR A HYDROLUMINOUS LOOK (IT HAS A RADIANCE TO IT, SOMEWHAT OF A LITTLE LESS IRIDESCENT VERSION OF HYPER REAL FOUNDATION). TO GET MORE OF A NATURAL SATIN FINISH, USE MINERALIZE SKIN FINISH NATURAL POWDER OVER IT WITH THE 150 BRUSH...DON'T TRY TO JUST BRUSH IT ALL OVER OR IT WILL STREAK! PAT IT WHERE YOU WANT LESS SHINE! IF IT GET'S TOO POWDERY, MIST WITH FIX+ SPRAY.

**QUICK TIP**

IF YOU WANT THE RADIANCE, BUT MORE COVERAGE MIX IN A LITTLE BIT OF SELECT COVER-UP CONCEALER!

HOPE THIS HELPED! I'M A MAC ARTIST, AND I'VE STARTED WEARING THIS EVERYDAY NOW!

I have combination to oily skin in summer and really like this foundation for going out in summer!!

It has a very pretty sheen in it that gives my skin a healthy glow. Studio Fix Fluid is a bit too much for me when it is really warm and humid outside.

This foundation looks more natural in summer for me.

The Mineralized Satinfinish is one of those foundations that's hit or miss. It either looks beautifully on someone, or it looks horrendous. The only thing I can tell you is to experiment with different setting powders. Try the Mineralized skin finish natural powder, it seems to work on anything.

I'd love to know this too, I absolutely hate this foundation & liked to know techniques & settings powders that seem to wrk w this foundation.

but LC i think you're right about this foundation being a hit or major miss ! i do have a few loose powders but they work only for a while .

i just bought this foundation since i got a little darker, but i love it. i use the new loreal primer in green, to even out my redness, then i put some foundation on the back of my hand and pat it on with a cheapo foundation brush, and then blend with a sponge. and to top it off i just use some cheapo loose powder.
its a great foundation, i hope you can make it work for you!

I figured that this would be a great thing to try, because I don't like heavy foundations at all. Unfortunately, this was a major miss with me. Even though my skin is fairly dry, it made me break out within a week of using it. Back to regular foundation with moisturizer for me...

Apply it lightly with a 187 brush and use Select Sheer Powder Pressed to fix it.
