I brought MAC mineralize skinfinish natural because of all the hype, but until now I wasn't too impressed as it would end up looking chalky unless I applied the tinest bit with a kabuki.
However I'm pleased to say that since trying it with my ELF studio powder brush it has been anything but chalky. It takes away the shine and gives a little bit of coverage, whilst leaving my skin looking naturally radiant.
The brush is super soft and fluffy, yet the bristles are quite firm at the same time. No matter how much I swirl it in my MSF it doesn't pick up much powder, so its really easy to control how much product I apply and if I need more coverage I just apply some more and buff it in, giving perfect results each time.
Are you a fan of the mineralize skinfinish powder, or do you think its an over-rated product?
I want to try it because I've heard such good things too, and I was recommended it. What shade did you get it it?
ReplyDeleteJo- I'm a NC25 and I got the medium shade, which is just a touch too pink but unless I apply too much its normally not noticable x
ReplyDeletei have this and i love it! :) it works really well for me because my skin is combo/oily. :) xxx
ReplyDeleteeve- That's great. What do you use to apply yours? x
ReplyDeletewow thanks for this, i have that brush and i just order a msf the other day, can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteSarah- You're welcome, I hope it doesn't disappoint x
ReplyDeleteinteresting to be honest i don't like MSF Natural for the reasons you describe but I'll have to give it ago with this brush x thanks x
ReplyDeleteI thought the same as you, looks chalky, makes the skin look worse off than what it is etc. But, I might have to buy myself one of those brushes to try it out. Thanks for the tip :) xx
ReplyDeleteLouise- Definitely give it a go, let me know how you get on with it x
ReplyDeleteSparklesandLipgloss- The MSF looking chalky seems to be a common complaint. I hope you like it x
I was like you and didnt really get on with the MSF when I got it. Im going to wait for an ELF Free Delivery code and get that brush to see if it makes any difference
ReplyDeletexx
Caz- They seem to do codes quite regularly so I'm sure you won't have to wait long. Hope using the brush works for you x
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that brush, im having a look on the ELF site :)
ReplyDeleteImo- Its a great brush, especially for the price. ELF do free delivery codes regularly so its worth waiting for one before ordering x
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of that brush. I keep lusting over MAC ones but I'll never be able to afford the ones I want, so those ELF ones might be the answer to my MAC prayers.. Maybe!?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this xx
Nikki- The ELF brushes are really good quality, so definitely try them before you splurge on MAC. They do free delivery codes regularly as well x
