Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Review

What they say: 'A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.'
What I think: The MSF Natural was one of my first purchases from Mac, normally I steer clear of powders. I despise the powery, cakey finish it instantly gives your skin and how it takes away from the finish of the foundation but, being blessed with combination skin and a dreaded oily t-zone I decided to pick one up anyway and it was love at first use..

What I like about these powders are how finely milled they are, they give a semi-matte finish to the skin that still allows you to look glowy and actually lets the natural finish of the founation shine through - I always saw no point in buying a luxurious foundation designed to make you appear dewy and fresh then covering it all up with powder and making it look like any other foundation. I also don't see any way you could end up cakey with this product unless you continously dusted it on your face for hours, it always seems to give just the right amount coverage and powder to mattify without being excessive.

The only things that I can think of that I could complain about is the price, it's £18.50 for 10g's of product, however these last me ages and you really do get what you pay for. After finishing my last MSF natural I decided I was going to look for a cheaper alternative, after trying out a few Maybelline and Rimmel powders I ran straight back to Mac. The only other little niggle would be that it has no mirror which would be handy for touch up's but I really like the simplistic packaging so that's not a worry either!

This is one of the few products I've actually used up and repurchased which is a big deal for me as 90% of the make-up I buy gets used occassionaly then chucked aside to be rediscovered a few months onwards!
