Review: MAC MSF Natural

Today I'm going to review one of my favorite products of all time - MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural.  I've purchased about 10 of these over the past two years and will continue to use them as long as they are available.  The reason I like this so much is because it is so versatile.  Depending on which shade you get, you can use them for foundation, highlight, or contouring.  My favorite way to wear this is actually wet which you can do because MAC's mineral products are baked and will go back to their original form once they're dry.

Here's what MAC has to say about it:

"A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day."

I like using this with MAC's Select Cover-up and then I usually scrape a little MSF off onto a glass candle holder and spritz with water, then dip my foundation brush and apply like I do liquid foundation.  You get the coverage of a liquid foundation but it still ends up looking like your skin.  I can usually only get away with wearing this as a foundation if my skin is relatively clear.  If I'm in a rush, I'll just use the Select Cover-up and the MSF dry with a kabuki brush.  Otherwise I'll use it to set a liquid foundation with a fluffier brush.   The only drawback is that this does not come with a mirror but that can easily be remidied if you have one of MAC's beauty powders (Hello Kitty, Heatherette, Dame Edna etc) by swapping out the inner plastic part.  The color range is really great too and includes 8 shades that go from light to deep dark.  I currently have a light medium, medium, medium plus, and medium dark in my collection.  I think it's an all around great product that looks natural on skin while still providing coverage.
