Love this powder. sets foundation. does the job without looking heavy

OMG What's not to love about this?  It comes in the super cute hot pink Heatherette hollogram compact.  The color is perfect for a subtle sweet contour for everyday! 

This is from the Heatherette 2008 collection. I think the only use for this beauty powder is as a blush at least on me (NC15). It could be used as a highlighter on darker skin tones though. This wasn't as pigmented as I thought it would be. It's definitely not as pigmented as any of MAC's powder blushes. The good thing is it's pretty hard to overdo and very easy to blend. It's not matte but it has very tiny gold shimmers that aren't that noticable once it's applied. The colour is like a muted pink and almost reminds me of cheek blush but pinker.

This powder gives a lot of coverage.  It's a matte powder that's good for touching up a bit, but I don't really like to wear this because the finish doesn't look natural and can be powdery looking. 

One of my favorite powders to use is M.A.C.'s Irridescent Pressed Powder in "Belightful".

This "luminous" pressed-powder highlights your skin with subtle bit of colour. It is jet-milled with Mica and pigments that gives anyon's skin a beautiful dewey glow.

I use is alone and with foundation but NOT Hyperreal unless you appreciate the SUPER irridescent look.   It is very long-lasting and applies easy with any brush from a loose powder to a "Kabuki" style brush depending on how much color you need or desire.  It is VERY concentrated ...so use it spearingly at first!

I love it all over the decollte as well...perfect for brides!!  Although older women do not like "sparkly" or metallic look, if used sparingly, this is a great product!

This powder is great on my tzone for sopping up any oil. Even though the powder is almost translucent it does not leave a white powdery residue like some other pressed powders do.

Excellent coverage! I apply it with a MAC brush most of the time, use the sponge if on the go.  Works great alone, without foundation. I received this as gift and it was the wrong color and I was very dissappointed, but once I got the right shade no complaints. I've been using this product for 7 years now and cannot part. (Wow 7 years is a long time!) My first MAC was a graduation gift!!

Shimpagne is a beautiful color!  This gives a glow to the skin like nothing else. :)

 

I'm really pale, so I use it more like a bronzer, but most ladies will be able to use this as a highlight.

Well, I wasn't sure if it would be worth getting a Natural Matte MSF, but I'm so glad I did!  I get the best airbrushed look with it!  I use my MSF (in Medium-Dark) over my UD MMU, and I look flawless!  My skin mooth as silk, and I'm 100% matte!

 

I haven't used my Natural MSF yet alone as a foundation, but I hear it works well.  I buff mine on using my MAC 182 Buffer Brush after applying my MMU, but before applying my blush. I've been using this daily for about a month now, and I still have the dome on it as if it's barely been touched!

 

I'm not sure if my shine staying at bay for at least 60% of the day can be attributed to the MSF or not, but I do know I have less shine later in the day than when I use my MMU alone.  I'll edit this review later once I've finally tried my MSF byt itself as a foundation.

hm... i heard so much raves of this product that i simply had to try it!

well.... it's nice... but however can be a little too shimmery when i get too heavy handed.... gives a nice glow to my face :) sometimes, on little makeup days, i even use it on my eyelids!

 

overall... nice... besides, im a sucker for mac

I really liked this pressed powder, and would totally recommend it if you're in need of a powder.  I used it to set my select tint (tinted moisturizer) and liked the light coverage it gave without looking cakey.  I did give it up, however, when I found the mineralize skinfinish in deep dark. 

love it, love it, love it !!! i hope they NEVER quit making this stuff! 

I used to use select tint (tinted moisturizer) and set with powder, however, now I use the mineral skinfinish only by itself.  It lasts all day and gives a flawless complexion with only a few little swirls, and deep dark is a perfect color match for my nc45 skintone. i swear it looks like you're wearing nothing, it REALLY photographs well too. I can't rave enough about this product

I didn't bother with these the first time they were released as they didn't look anything exciting, but after reading reviews etc i thought I'd give them a try the second time around and im so pleased i did.

They give a really nice matte finish to my look and even with my oily skin, my face still looked nice and matt with hardly any shine after a few hours which doesn't usually happen. They are so light i don't feel im wearing any powder over my foundation.

I don't know what they would be like on there own as i've only used them over my foundation, to give a nice finish to my makeup.

Medium-dark works well on my NC35

The color is exactly like Mac Shimpagne MSF, but less glitery. Gives a fablous glow. Great to use all over the face for a glowy look.

This is great. It does what's its supposed to! I like that it doesn't leave a powdery finish.

I've never bought a beauty powder before and so I was skeptical about buying it.  But I am sooo glad I did!  In the pot it looked like a very light tan colour.  I used my MAC 129 and applied it as a blush.  It gave a nice sheen to my cheeks but it was too light.   So then I added a light touch of Coppertone on top and OH-MY-GOD!  It looked soooo good!  And the more I looked at it, the more I loved it!  It provided a very nice highlight to my cheeks!  Just gorgeous.  I can't say enough about it.  Now I need to go back and get backups!

I like this powder! It does blot the oil away but I just don't having to put it on over and over again. It can start to clog pores and since I have acne prone skin I don't really need that so I'll just stick to the blotter sheets!
