Mac Mineralise Skinfinish Natural shades

E.T.

I want to get MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural to use for touch ups, but not sure what shade. I'll get into BT during the week, but wondering what shades others find good. I use Bare Minerals Medium Beige, but it's not the handiest for carrying around, even the travel versions. Going by the MAC website Medium Dark looks nice, has anyone else used this?

The shade pictures on the website are way off, medium looks really pale on there but I have it and I use it as bronzer.

If you get a chance you should definitely go into a MAC counter and swatch them, otherwise look up swatch photos on Specktra or google them to get a more accurate idea of what the colours are like

Best. Product. Ever.

No, really.

I wear the lightest one so can't help on shades, also wear the lightest bare minerals (fair?)

What makes this so good? Usually wear studio fix powder

It's just a really really nice finish, very natural, bit of glow, but no shine. Lasts pretty well on me, and very little does, and sets my foundation very well without a powder finish.

Also If I don't want to wear foundation but just even out my skin I buff some off this on, mineral foundation style, with a kabuki.

yeah, I am actually in love with it, and mine is on it's last legs and I can't buy another one as I'm going to the states in three weeks and it's about half the prices there (am buying 3)

Have to agree I love it!! Goes on so smooth and makes your skin velvety! Best powder ever but I have an oily tzone and find it's not great so I used it sparingly there.

I'm very pale and normally use the lightest shades of most make up but with this the lightest is quite pale so I go between light and light medium!

I use the lightest one when I have my natural skin colour and medium dark when I have my fake tan on. I use medium deep with Estee Lauder Double Wear Tawny and Mac NC35 if you want a guide. Light is with Estee Lauder Shell.

I absolutely love this stuff, Use it every day on top of my foundation.

This stuff is amazing, really and truly. It's definitely a staple in my make up bag. It's like putting the finishing touch to your make up without looking cakey or powdery, it just looks natural. It gives a sheen to my skin without looking sparkly or glittery. No other product quite like it. I wear it on 'no make up' days with just a little concealer and mascara and its perfect

Wow thanks for all the replies I'm sold! Will be making a trip into MAC later,

blahhh

Love this! I use it in medium and I'm a paley, I don't think it's dark at all. I wear it alone for taking shine away and with foundation to set it, perfect product
