The MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural excels in delivering a refined, natural-looking finish. Its slow-baked nature means the powder feels silky and blends like a dream, never looking chalky or heavy.
For Setting Foundation: After applying your liquid or cream foundation, lightly dust the powder over your entire face using a large, fluffy powder brush. This will set your makeup, extend its wear, and impart a subtle glow. Focus on areas prone to shine, like the T-zone.
For Adding Luminous Glow: To highlight and add dimension, use a smaller, denser brush to apply the powder to the high points of your face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, brow bone, and cupid's bow. The satin finish catches the light beautifully, creating a healthy radiance.
For a Natural, Polished Look (No Foundation): On days you prefer minimal makeup, apply the powder lightly over moisturized skin to even out minor imperfections and reduce unwanted shine, leaving you with a fresh, healthy complexion.
Buildability: Start with a sheer layer and build up gradually. The formula allows you to add more product for increased coverage or luminosity without caking.
Seamless Blending: The fine milling of the powder ensures it integrates seamlessly with your skin and other makeup products, avoiding harsh lines or patchy application.
Setup: The MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural is ready to use directly from its compact. No complex setup is required.
Compatibility:
Foundation: Compatible with most liquid, cream, and stick foundations. It helps to set these formulas without altering their finish drastically, instead adding its signature satin glow.
Skin Type: Generally suitable for most skin types due to its lightweight nature and non-drying finish. Those with very oily skin might benefit from a mattifying primer underneath, while those with dry skin will appreciate its non-cakey texture.
Care:
Storage: Keep the compact closed tightly when not in use to protect the powder from moisture and air. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Application Tools: For optimal application and hygiene, regularly clean your makeup brushes. Dirty brushes can lead to patchy application and bacterial buildup.
Handling: As a pressed powder, it can be fragile. Avoid dropping the compact to prevent breakage.
