Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion
The foundation is ok. For all you NC/NW15 girls out there who thought that Light would be too dark... it isn't =\

At least, not on me (NW15). I know.. weird, isn't it?

There's definately more coverage with this foundation than MSF Naturals- and yeah, it feels silky and barely there when you put it on. I'm not so keen on the finish though... it looks a little more chalky to me than MSF naturals too... I guess I'm just used to the glow that you get with them!

Right now, I'm using this with MSF Natural in Light Medium and Light on top (a bit of both since I'm in between!) to give the glowy natural finish I prefer. I guess the loose foundation is good in that I don't have to waste as much MSF N to get the coverage that I want- it makes things a lot faster, because I don't have to use as much product!

I've only used this product three times so far, so will update if there are any changes, but it's not making me oily or anything, and is holding up quite well.


ETA: This foundation is working quite well for me- and it saves me TONNES of time!! My skin is absolutely AWFUL right now, with redness and breakouts and SCARS EVERYWHERE... but with the help of my make up for ever full cover concealer for some serious spot concealing, this foundation and a little MSFN in Light Medium on top, all finished with fix+, this is what I ended up looking like last night (right):



I have NO idea why I still appear to be quite pink despite wearing this, which is supposed to be yellow toned lol. The only pink I had on my face was Light Flush by itself as a blush (not even as a highlight)... so go figure lol.
