Yeah, it is pretty steep, especially if you just got something similar. Tell us what you think of the BE stuff tho - I'd love to hear what you think of it compared to the Mineralize Loose.

I got this and was extremely disappointed. I bought it hoping for the glow I got with MSF natural, but I didn't. I returned it.

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

I got this and love it. It is the closest thing I have used to making my skin looked airbrushed and flawless.

I agree that you it is so much easier to use to pour it into a little dish or somthing before you apply because my first application was just very average but second application I was able to swirl my brush (kabuki) around in it. I looked at it in the mirror after about 4 hours and it looked just applied.

Of course, my major disappointment is that I bought it in Light and her that may be limited or discontinued. I hope that I will at least be able to buy it online.

It's so weird b/c I know other people got a great glow from the MSFN's but I got better results from Mineralize loose!

At least we've found products we love and work well with our skin.

When I looked on the MAC website it didn't have a LE triangle next to the light shade so it looks like it will always be available on line.

The same thing has been happening to me. I was really hoping that it was not this foundation but I can't think of what else it could be. Such a bummer!

I know! Seriously. I always use foundation. I use Mineralize Satin Finish or Studio Fix Liquid, Cover Girl Foundation, NYC Loose face powder translucent, but once I started to use the Mineralized skin finish loose..I have little tiny bumps everywhere.. WTH!?! It dosent look like pimples just like maybe iritated pores acting up or something.. So I dont use it anymore. I dont care how great the finish is..Its just not sexy when you have bumps under that Great finish. haha

For those of you who are breaking out...do you know if you're sensitive to bismuth?

I have never had a know allergy/sensitivity to it but it could be a definate possibility. I am going to have to look into that. Thanks for the advice!

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

I broke out really badly. Nothing else MAC has ever bothered me but I am sensitive to a lot of past d/s foundations. Not sure if bismuth was the common denominator but wow did I break out. I generally have very good skin.

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

I've had a nasty allergic reaction to Mineral powder foundation before. My skin was red, swollen and bumpy. Now I'm scared to try MAC's.
Thanks for all the reviews =)
I'll stick to my Studio Fix Fluid.

I love studio fluid fix! Soooo pretty!

In all fairness I did want to love this foundation but my skin didn't feel the same.

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

I bought this after watching aboywearingmakeup 's tut on youtube. His face looked so flawless that I just had to get it! lol I bought it in Medium Plus as the MA suggested these mineralize powders do come darker.
All in all I love it! It does make my skin look and feel flawless. There is no itchiness, no rashes. And it evens out my skin tone looking so airbrushed! Im in loveeeee

But I do have one complaint. The stupid thing it comes in looks like an adult pacifier! And when you unscrew it, some of the loose powder comes out. Its so messy. I mean being creative is one thing, but come on now, lets design something easier and more useful!

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

i am the worlds biggest pessimist, nothing ever works for me! so, yesterday, i finally ignored my morning sickness, achy body, tiredness and took my lazy behind to the mac store to pick this up! i got medium plus, the MA put it on with the 116 brush, and i loved it! i put it on at 11am, took a nap, played with my 2yr old, went to the park, and at 6pm, it was still on! not to complain or anything but the msfn worked well for a while then it stopped, then it did again, its different each day, so, i feel like nothing works consistently for me!!!!maybe this is different!!
sorry gals, feeling hormonal today!!! oh, ill probably try it with the 187 brush, or the applicator..the MA loves the applicator..she said its just easier..but she had the most amazing skin. im jealous!

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

I got it yesterday I really liked the application quick and flawless the buffer on it is ok but it kept slipping off the handle. Lasted all day for me and normally makeup tends to melt off even with primers. So far so good for me.

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

I was so excited getting this product, as it was my first time to try out a mineralized powder foundation and I wasn't dissapointed! The only thing that I didn't like to much was that the coverage was a little too sheer for me, so I had to put on 2-3 layers, when I usually only put 1-2 with my other MAC powders (Studio Fix Powder Foundation), but I eventually got the desired result. Love the applicator, it feels so smooth on my face but also buffs it in nicely. It would be great if MAC designed an applicator like this seperate from the foundation, it would be awesome for buffing on my MSF (Porcelain Pink, love it!). This is also great for a quick fix when on the run and your out of time, or you don't want too much makeup on. A definite must have for MAC-addict!

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion

I was so excited to check these out today, since I'm always looking for a foundation that just looks like I'm not wearing any makeup (but with flawless skin

) . . . Unfortunately, this is not the product for me. Maybe if they expand the color range, but these are just not for me. I'm an NW20, and thought medium would work (I use medium blot powder), but both medium and medium light were MUCH too yellow for my skin. Wah wah. Oh well. I love my Studio Fix!
