I totally agree with caffn8me.
To get my MSF's to stick, I either apply them directly on top of my SFF or I use Fix + to suck up the powder, and then they apply perfectly. These are pretty much the only ways I can get them to stick.

don't apply the MSF on top of a powder product, apply it on top of an emollient based product, namely, a liquid foundation, such as studio fix fluid. honestly, when using an MSF, i find additional powder to be overkill, usually. i'll apply studio fix fluid, possibly a blushcreme, then the MSF, and finish it off with a spray or two of fix+ directly onto your face. fix+ is honestly the best stuff ever, especially in hot, summery weather. another way to do it is to sweep your 187 (or whatever brush you use) through the MSF and pick up the desired amount of product, then spray fix+ onto the brush, which gives the MSF a slightly different, shimmery effect, but still makes it last forever.

Some ideas...
-Try a spritz of Fix+ on the brush, then swirl it in the MSF and apply.
-Use the MSF as powder on your cheeks instead of Pressed Powder. Set the rest of your face as usual with Pressed Powder.
-Try the MSF over a creme blush or Cream Color Base.
Fix+ is an awesome investment. I use it all the time for wetting eyeshadows and setting makeup. You can even keep it in the fridge for those really hot days when you need a refreshing face mist! A bottle lasts quite a while, too. I've had mine for over a year, and it's over half full.

i often use a cream blush under my msfs-especially with PP
Otherwise i do my loose powder only under my eyes to set concealer then use the msf on the liquid and i fins it 'sticks' really well that way!

i use both petticoat and Shooting Star and they alst forever on me.
I use them both over a powder foundation (with a very good moisturizer base).

In addition to the ideas above which are all great- I many times do not have time to do a long makeup routine.
I simply apply sunless tanner on my face, and then when I apply the MSF I look like I have a perfect complexion that stays a long time.
If I use a lot of powder, I then set it all with Fix+ and it looks amazing- pretty much all day, unless I am running or something (like marathon type running-

The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star
So I went to MAC yesterday to check if they have the Icon collection yet(they don't I'm in Germany) but they did have the new skinfinishes.
And yes they re-relesead shimpagne but it looks nothing like the shimpagne I have, it's much more dark and bronzey and looks almost like shooting star. Just thought I let you girls know.
On the other hand the new liquid is really nice! it comes with a pump has a really light coverage and a little bit shimmer, so if you like to mix your foundation with strobecream or similar and don't need much coverage - this is your foundation!
