MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

If you are a regular reader of my blog I'm sure you've realised that I am very obsessed with MAC makeup! The majority of makeup I own is actually MAC, though Mineralize Skinfinish Natural certainly has to be one of my most favourite powders.

I wear NC45 MAC's Studio Fix foundation and set it with this powder and I honestly have to say that I'm pretty impressed. My shade for this product is in Dark. Studio Fix tends to give a natural matte finish with medium coverage. Therefore whenever I apply Skinfinish Natural it builds up more coverage on my face, leaving it almost flawless! However the thing about this product that really bugs me is that it leaves my face feeling and looking quite cakey, so I have to spray some Fix + on to make it look much less powdery and not so heavy.
The texture of Skinfinish Natural feels and brushes on the skin really velvety. On top of my Studio Fix foundation it lasts me around 5/6 hours with no touch-ups throughout the day! I have normal skin and sometimes it can get quite dry, though this product doesn't enhance my dry areas at all. It just spreads beautifully across my skin.
I think this would be fine with any skin type, on the other hand I've heard a few mixed thoughts on this product with people who have oily skin. So I recommend to anyone who has oily skin to really look into this product first or ask somebody at a MAC counter to help you find something much more suitable for your skin type.

Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it alot, especially your comments! Enjoy your week,

Review - Bare Minerals: Warmth All Over Face Colour

There's nothing better than having that glowy, fresh faced look; and for me Bare Minerals 'Warmth' All Over Face Colour is the best when it comes to keeping my face looking beautifully sun kissed.
The packaging is cute! A small/average sized cylinder that is so straight-forward and easy to maintain. This mineral powder is the perfect shade and its certainly not orangey.

I'd honestly say that this powder is very bronze, however it glides across the skin as fairly light, so it's easy and no hassle to gradually build up the desired shade you require. The texture of this mineral powder is so velvety and soft, I love that this product feels unbelievably lightweight on my face. I literally can't feel it against my skin once its applied. I apply these with my Bare Minerals Full Flawless Face Brush and it comes on so creamy on my face, leaving it looking naturally healthy and bronzed.

Although the durability of this bronzing powder isn't quite a benefit for me. I'm more appealed to makeup that lasts all day, keeping my face looking fresh. On the other hand, this product only keeps its radiance for only around 4 hours, then unfortunately it starts to make my face look a bit dull and eventually fade.
If I were to take this off at night it wouldn't be a problem, its so easy to remove with makeup wipes and isn't stubborn at all.
Bare Minerals 'Warmth' powder in my opinion would be more suitable for short events. I wouldn't recommend it for an everyday wear as it would fade off easily throughout the day. Other than that, I am so pleased with this outstanding product! It's so challenging to find a bronzer that isn't too orange as well as cakey!
There's so many ways I use this product. I use it as a blush or as contour or sometimes on the main parts of my face because it looks like I've been out in the sun all day! I would rate this overall 8/10. I think it could just use slight more pigmentation and for it to last much longer on my face.

Thank you so much for reading this post, I really appreciate it! Enjoy your sunday x
