My Experience with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
Mineral makeup is said to be perfect for acne prone skin, but I never got around to trying them till I got my hands on MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. Before I start off the review I canβt say enough about how much I love makeup as gift π
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural is a very lightweight finely milled mineral power. It comes in a standard all black MAC packaging. Unfortunately it doesnβt come with an applicator or mirror. This isnβt a hot button issue as this product applies better with a brush and is not meant to be a replacement for a compact. I find MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural perfect for setting in my foundation or even a BB cream. The mineral powder disappears into my skin leaving a smooth almost matte feeling. The powder is not great for zapping oil and it does leave a bit of sheen on the face, but thatβs what gives your skin an almost natural look. It doesn’t last all day long but makes for a perfect setting powder, which somehow seems to make my pores almost vanish.
My skin is slightly sensitive and there are some products, which tend to irritate my skin or break me out. But MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural was perfect and being mineral based it didnβt irritate my skin in anyway. The only downside I see is the price, but this will literally last you ages. With 17 shades to choose from, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural is a must in anyoneβsβ makeup collection.
The Good
- Works perfectly to set in foundation
- Very finely milled mineral makeup powder which gives a smooth finish
- Looks natural on the skin
- Non-Comedogenic and did not irritate or break out my sensitive skin
- Has a mild sheen, but yet leaves the skin matte
- Makes pores vanish
The Bad
- On the expensive side
- Does help keep oil away for long

Thanks Lancy. With MAC everyone is bound to get the right shade.
Yes, that indeed is a great gift and I love to receive makeup gifts as well. π I have heard a lot about this product and I really like the sound of it. My pores are very obvious, so this product will come in handy but the price is very steep. Thanks for your wonderful review. π

The days are definitely getting super hot and yeah the oil control won’t be enough for super humid summers.
Everything in MAC is so expensive, it sometimes puts me off π Loved your review will definitely check this out at the store if not buy it π
They definitely are expensive but most of their products are worth it and they last you a long time.
Right now my mom is in Canada for 1 month and I am looking for some good products to tell her to bring and this is now going to be on the list :p. Thanks for sharing dear
Akanksha recently posted…Office/Work Make-Up Tutorial
That’s perfect. Are MAC products slightly cheaper in Canada?
Yes they are and much more cheaper in America. In aus, it is so much expensive
That’s good to know Akansha. I will definitely add a few MAC products to shopping list so that my friends returning from US can pick it up.
Will give it a try for sure.
This is an amazing product Sonal and it will last you ages. A totally amazing investment.
Was really looking for something to vanish the pores. I think this will work well.
