Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation

[BloodMittens]

Wow... I never knew there was so many problems with the Satinfinish...

I have been using Satinfinish in NC15 for about a year and a half now. I LOVE IT. I don't need a lot of coverage on my skin, but it does help with some of my redness in the middle of my cheeks without irritating it. It also does give me a nice dewy look without looking oily, but I also put a very light coverage of MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Light so it actually keeps it from getting oily or "orange" that people are complaining about...

I've also never had a problem with breakouts at all with this foundation. I would suggest it if you have nice skin and just want some slight coverage and a nice dewy look. Word of warning, do NOT use a lot. Haha.

i'm usually a nw 15 but unfortunately satinfinish doesn't come in nw 15. can i use nc 15 instead? or would that look weird? any experiences?

i LOVE satinfinish. if i have to use a mac foundation, that'll be it. i can't get on with any of the others. i have normal skin (possibly more on the dryish side) and i don't find it sliding off my face, but if you have any flakies from dry skin it hides them very well. i put a little bit of powder over it because i don't really like the dewy finish much. unfortunately, i'm not using it at the moment because the colour i have isn't right for me, and i don't have the money to buy some more right now

I would be better off with a highlighter huh?

I like my Satinfinish a lot. I usually wear low to medium coverage so it's fine in that department. It's not oily on me, but because I usually get oily in the T-zone, I dust a little Loose Blot Powder (I find it looks a bit more natural that the pressed) on my forehead.

This is actually the first foundation I've ever used and I'm still using it. I actually like it and it does make your face kind of glow and look very smooth. It's not heavy or anything, I use it with the studio finish concealer and it's really nice.

I'll have to try other foundations though to compare.

I love satinfinish! I have dry to normal skin and I used the satinfinish all through summer, then switched to select for winter. It really did give my face that "glowy" look...without making it look oily. People were always complimenting my face.

here are a couple of pictures...

I actually like this foundation. Don't love it yet-because I haven't gotten my consistency right but I can see this being a pretty good one in the future for sure. It looks AMAZING in pics though.

Hey i jus bought this last week but its definately not what i expected it to be..i wanted to love it sooo much lol...i was looking for a slightly glowy/ healthy look..i have normal to dryish skin, and probably never have problems with getting oily, but it just didnt work for me. i have fairly good skin, so the low coverage aspect was fine with me, but i must say, for the amount i paid, i wish my skin looked at least a little better, and the worst part for me personally, was lots of glittery bits to it ..when i look in natural light, i can see lots of glittery particles shinniing of my face!! i think it has the potential to look oily on some people...however, must say the colour match was fab! almost makes me not want to return it..not sure what im going to do with it yet sorry for the rant everybody !! Hope it works for you though, this was just my experience

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!
