MAC - Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

[miss_emc]

Sorry if this has already been posted - couldn't find it anywhere so i thought i'd give you guys a heads up on the new Mineralize Powder Foundation which is being released Feb/March next year. Yes it is actual mineral foundation! It has its own puff applicator and it's a bit like the L'Oreal one. Have only seen pics, no actual product, but i'm looking forward to it!

Could this be a suitable replacement for those of us who used MSF Medium as a foundation? I stockpiled 4 MSFs when they dc'd it but it won't be long before I need something new.

Oooh this sounds interesting! Perhaps it will have a little more coverage than the MSFs?

Excited!!

[bartp]

thanks, that new product does sound exciting...

- I just hope they launch it in enough different colors...
- and then it would make more sense to discontinue the liquid version of the mineralize foundation. (not the powder version).
I always preferred the powder version to the liquid one because the reflective elements in it were a bit too noticeable

That is the first thing I thought! I knew there had to be a reason they dc'd the med. A dc in the middle of the range made zero sense,esp considering the split between light and med-dark.

Is the colour range in the new mineralize powder foundation going to be the traditional NC/NW ranges or is it Light-Deep Dark? If it is NC/NW, I am even more excited than the MSF natural in med! Nothing like a closer fit.

I stockpiled 7 of the msf natural in med so far. At one of the stores I went to last week, the MA told me, "I know everything and the MSF natural in medium is not discontinued." My husband looked at her and said, "Trust me, it's discontinued." (Nicely, of course). I laughed. He is so sucked into my MAC world!

ETA: I just looked at a few of the new MSF Naturals in med that I just purchased as back-ups and they are waaaaaay yellow. The ones I have been using, as well as the back-ups I previously purchased, are much more peach-toned! Anyone else notice this with past and recent MSF purchases?

That's what I'm thinking. And if it does there will have to be a broader range of colors. I might actually find a mineral foundation that I like, fancy that.

[aziajs]

It sounds like Philosophy's Supernatural foundation, which I happen to like because it has good coverage.

[spectrolite]

Yay!!! I've been waiting for this news I'm so pleased that soon I can buy mineral makeup from my favorite makeup brand. Yet another reason to love MAC I really hope that they keep the MSF Natural's around though because I love the Dark shade too much to see it go.

[frocher]

I will miss how portable the msfs are. Perfect for trips or your purse for touch ups. This new powder does sound promising though. I hope it's buildable coverage, because I like how sheer the msfs could be.

[Swirlgirl]

I also decided to buy back-ups of the Medium MSF Naturals - and at the checkout when the very nice MA was taking inventory before ringing me up, she noticed that one of the three MSFs looked really yellow - - so she grabbed another which seemed to match the others better. There must have been a batch or two of really yellow looking ones. So beware. Also, this MA knew nothing of the Natural MSFs being discontinued, she just thought maybe the medium was on backorder - in fact they had 30-35 Medium MSFs in stock. I'll be in for an event on Dec. 8th and will get the scoop from my trusted, favorite MA.

SOOOO EXCITED OMG OMG OMG....I can never find my exact shade with BE or some other brands I've tried, MAC always does skintone colors so well!

[glam8babe]

i hope it will be as good as bare escentuals

[claresauntie]

I had no idea that Medium was being discontinued! We were out of them for awhile, but now we have tons again - I just figured there was a distribution problem. Hmm....

I'm hoping they are less like Bare Escentuals and more like the MSFs. I think the MSFs feel great and are easily buildable. Bare Escentuals are drying and a bit more cakey, IMO.

[ash10spro]

im excited! i hate to wear liquid foundation, just because i don't like the way it feels. Now i can get a nice and light-feeling foundation with the coverage of a liquid! (crosses fingers) lets hope the coverage is buildable! that way you can have a sheer day, or a more covered day when your skin decides to attack you =)

[Jacq-i]

That's great! I was just about to try Urban Decay's mmu, but I think I'll wait.

[coachkitten]

I agree that BE is a little drying. I hope that MAC makes a formula that feels a little better! I am really excited for these!

[mintcollective1]

correct me if Im wrong...but I was looking over paperwork at work and it said that the medium msf was "long term out of stock" ( along with "lasting lust" prolong wear...the bright bright red...just to name a few, there was more than that)...we've been told that means its not discontinued but they are more or less having to catch up on the supply/demand side of the deal...it takes longer to make the msf than traditional powders...

i don't think that mac is that silly to discontinue something as SERIOUS as that one color... it get soo much useage!

[mariecinder]

I would love for MAC to make a mineral foundation. I had heard a rumor that they weren't going to, so I'll have to believe it when I see it! I agree with others who have hopes that it will be better than BE.

[mac_addict_erin]

i love the MSF in medium but it made me break out! i hope the new powder ones will have some kind of different formulation so i can enjoy it!

please no

i love the mineralize satinfinish liquid.

after using some mattifying powder over it i get a very nice sutble glow - similar to the MSF naturals.

thanks for the info miss_emc. i can't wait to see these.

[miss_emc]

Guys i have bad news, these foundations are going to be LE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO! This makes me so angry. I just found out today. There are about 8 or so shades in the range and i guess if they are popular enough they will bring them back as permanent but for the moment just LE. Boooooo....

[redambition]

noooooo

i hate it when cosmetic companies (oh, all right, MAC) make staple items LE.

you say you use, mineralize satinfinish? are you satisfied, do you use the same color as others mac's products. I use NC25, but I see that MSF in nc 25 is a slightly yellow.

This pisses me off sooooo bad! A foundation LE? WTF is the point of that?! Makes me want to NOT even try it.
