MAC FAQ: What are MSF's (Mineralize Skinfinishes) and what are they used for?

In answer to a lot of questions- there is no best MSF. They come in different colors for different skin tones. One woman's highlighter is another woman's bronzer and another woman's disaster. That's why there are more and more coming out.

Go to the store (counter etc.) bare cheeked and try on, go out in the daylight to look. At $28 USD, I'm kind of peeved at getting talked in to buying Petticoat when it's a too dark bronzer look on me. I found a Porcelain Pink which I hope will be just right on my NC 0 skin- yeah, that pale! And I'd like to try Perfect Topping.

Skinfinish Natural Light is my can't live without. It's around 100 degrees here in summer and mineral powder is the only base to wear. You can sweat through it- and it just looks better.

Then there's Beauty Powders- If you don't find a great MSF they do the same things, just in a more traditional make up formulation.

Mineralize skin finish natural is my absolute favorite powder. Its looks like your not wearing any makeup at all

I love MSFs. They are really pretty. I have many of them and I use them as a blush, highlighter or bronzer depending on their color and pigmentation. On the other hand, people who don't like frosty/shimmery/glowy look on their cheeks probably won't like them.

I am always tempted by MSFs! I have Redhead coming in the mail, and I'm lusting after Light Flush, though I doubt I will stop at two.

Is there an up to date list of all of the MSFs that have come out? I haven't found one anywhere and I would like to see a list if anyone knows where I can find one, please, let me know. Or we can try and compile a complete list...
