Too Good To be True?~ MAC MINERALIZE SKINFINISH NATURAL REVIEW

Haha you saw my title rhymed? :P


MAC MINERALIZE SKINFINISH NATURAL (MSF Natural in short) is a dome of happiness! Dome flattens, happiness goes down! (Its called being directly proportional).
Its not just a compact. It bends compact rules anyway! 

Being a dry skinned girl naturally (Its been odd lately, Yes, I know I ranted enough and you know, But trust me, its dry mainly), I never got to use powders. You know when all my classmates would takeout their compacts and *touch up* their makeup, wear gloss looking into the mirror and apply kajal, I'd stare here and there and just assume the position of my lips and put on gloss! :/

Its like the makeup God heard my silent plea and took me to a beautiful world of mineral makeup. Non-drying powders. :D I'd like to believe that MSF Naturals were created just for me. No, really!

Makeup God said: lets make a non drying, yummy looking powder for the little girl and since she is so used to applying gloss minus the mirror, lets NOT put a mirror in it!

Thank you Makeup God! You truly are the best! But I wish you'd add a mirror to this! Not for me, nooo, no. For the millions of other pretty ladies who find it painful to 'assume' the position of their lips. You've truly blessed me. :D
MSF Natural has no mirror (refer rant above) no puff & THAT is where it stops annoying you! MSF Natural is a cult favourite and there are secrets why. Its a secret dodo. No one knows! It is ~*Magic Dust*~ (*all starry eyed*)
This actually looks so yummy Z wanted to eat it!:P

MAC Cosmetics describes it as- 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.

Price: Rs 1480 for 10g.

Shade: I use a Medium Plus which is darker than Medium & lighter than Medium Dark.
All shades go like this: Light<Light Plus<Medium<Medium Plus<Medium Dark<Medium Deep<Dark<Deep Dark.

Coverage: This provides sheer to medium coverage. But more than the coverage, Its this dimension it adds to your skin. It makes skin look healthier. Much better. It wont cover blemishes or other imperfections. I use this on a daily basis. 
My makeup is Concealer<MSF<Kajal<Mascara<Chapstick & sometimes Blush.


I cant tell the difference when I wear this powder. Does my face look different (minus imperfections)? No. But it does something. Like magic dust!It does something. Adds a subtle glow to my face.

• This gives into my skin-mood swings! Behaves accordingly! :)
• This DOESN'T break me out.
• This is EXACTLY the colour of my skin 
• & thank you God it DOESN'T oxidize on me!
• EVERY other powder I used made my face flat and dull. Not this.
• This sets makeup beautifully! It gives it the airbrushed finish that loose powders usually do!
• Doesn't look powdery at all. (Duh!)
• Its very light weight in texture.
• MAC is cruelty free. :D

 I use it with my TBS Nature's Minerals Kabuki brush.
It It picks up enough product in 2 swirls for my entire face!

Texture wise, this is the softest powder I have ever used. I'm talking  about compacts here. Not loose powders. Just look at that! Magic Dust, it is!!

 Can you tell its on my hand? I applied it heavily so something would be seen! But no! This lives up to its name and the finish is extremely natural. This just gives you a 'good skin day' always!

That being said, people with oily skin might not like it as much since it does make skin oily after a few hours (Like 4-5 hours for me). It has been doing that to me lately (with the rain and all). However, It never broke me out!
I don't have the heart to carry it in my bag because I'm scared it'll break and mess my bad up! Mineral makeup is fragile like that! Plus I'll have to take my kabuki brush along. Thankfully for me, I never touch up my makeup!:P 
Only gloss/chapstick/lipstick. But that doesn't count. No?


I think I'll but one before I run out of this! I love it too much!! :D Whats your favourite powder?
