MAC - Mineralize Foundation SPF15 Discussion

[*JJ*]

i really like the brush. do you think it could work well with the cremeblend blushes from lillyland?

i'd like to try the foundation too, but i guess NW15 will, again, be too dark for me

Btw JJ, Sigma has a very comparable brush to this one (SS194). I have it and I like it a lot. So maybe more money for other collections?

And good coverage too!!

This foundation sounds good but its moisturizing propeties really concern me. The thing is I have a super oily, super dry combination skin and I have the hardest time getting my foundation without shine for more than 3 hours...even with the long lasting ones. Then the skin around my mouth, chin and most of my forehead is super dry so with time it peels off!!

So far, Chanel Mat Lumiere and Clinique Superfit have worked the best on my troubled complexion, but if you lovely ladies have truly oily skin and try this one with good results, I'd be glad to try it too.

i get dry cheeks but oily forehead so i shall let you know how i get on with this foundation - when it's out in the uk of course!

 

[Hypathya]

Thank you darling!!!

I shall wait, I don't need to restock foundation for 2-3 months more.

My skin gets super oily during the day and I do hate having to blot out the oil with Clean & Clear Blotting Sheets. I'm hoping that this foundation will help control oil on Oily girls out there that suffer the same fate as me.

^Yeah I have oily skin too so this should be interesting to see how this will turn out!

I can just find the SS 197 at the moment - do you mean this brush or is the SS194 another one and sold out right now?

 

[romi79_2008]

I was wondering if the brush is soft it won`t be very good at blending a cream foundation, are these 2 supposed to be used together?

hhhmmm i'm not sure. it looks quite dence though so perhaps that will help with the blending. i'm sure they are meant to be used together in some way!

No, it was a typo, sorry for that. It is called the SS197, not the SS194.

I'm hoping this is similar to Nars Sheer Glow....just bought a new bottle but HATE the price and i'd rather spend it on mac...

I'm looking forward to giving this one a try too. I'm NW45 in SFF but NC50 in SS so I'll probably be like you and be NC50 in this one too.

I'd guess that she's a NC50 in Studio Sculpt like me.

So my theory might work and the colours for this foundation are the same as Studio Sculpt

Cannot wait until this comes out.
Getting matched at this time of year is always easier said than done.

If you're looking for a matte finish you will not like this foundation. Being a part of the 'Mineralize' line, it will have a glowy finish. Since I have not used it yet (they didn't have it at update) I haven't gotten to test it. The finish may range from flat glow like Mineralize Natural up to subtle shiny shimmer like Mineralize Satinfinish. I'll post here when we get stock/when I get my gratis.

Your own thanks button has gone as well

I will let the mods know.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

if this foundation range is like Studio sculpt then I'm prob an NW25. I need to get a sample first to see if I like how it looks on my skin. I hope it doesn't break me out like SF powder

 

[satin_yogurt]

i hope hope hope nc15 is light enough for me. the sff is way too dark and way to yellow. i do have yellow undertones, but my name is not simpson *lol*
can't wait to try it.
