MAC Semi-Precious Pearl Mineralize Skinfinish Swatches, Photos, Reviews
MAC Semi-Precious Pearl Mineralize Skinfinish ($28.00 for 0.22 oz.) is described as a “beige champagne base with inner circle of white, plum, and bronze.” The center splotch is an russet bronze with heavy shimmer and slightly frosty finish. The outer ring is a pearly, white gold that’s a little sheer as it is mostly shimmer and sheen as opposed to color. Together, they swirl and create an ambery bronze with a white gold sheen. It adds a little warmth with a high sheen on my cheeks; there is some color, but it is light. With an even lighter hand, I could see this working well as a highlighter or just-barely-there glowy sheen. I would like to know why these are 0.22 oz. as compared to 0.35 oz. for previous mineralize skinfinishes.
The center portion is a bit like MAC Honey Rose, just a little hint of gold instead of pink. It has more red in it than Guerlain Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder. I think the versatility of this particular shade will make it easier to dupe yet harder for me to give you possible dupes, because it really depends on just how heavy you go with the outer ring of color, since it’s so light, it can greatly alter the shade.
Where to Buy: MAC Cosmetics, July 7th, $28
The Glossover
I see Semi-Precious Pearl working well as a highlighter, and I think this is a shade many are going to gravitate towards. It's easy to wear, should flatter many skin tones, and has that glowy sheen many look for in a mineralize skinfinish.

The centre is a beautiful shade for eyes as well.
Hi, Christine! Do you think this one is comparable to Shell Pearl from Liberty of London? I've been looking for SP's dupe for long. Thank you!
How would this look on my skin tone? (nw45) i'm trying to decide between the MSF. Thanks Christine :)
This looks fabulous on you!!
I would like this better if it had the inner circle of the goldstone MSF.
This looks nicer than I thought when worn. =]
Wow, this is prettier than I thought it would be.
Looks gorgeous! Does the swirl of color in the center do all the way through?
As far as I can tell, yes!
PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who looked at this and immediately thought it looked like a wart or a tumor or something on human skin... I'm a nurse, though, so make of that what you will :P
It looked like vomit to me, lol. "Circle" is a pretty loose term the way MAC uses it with these.
Now I will never see it the same way again!! Thanks, ladies! :P
This is exactly my thought on all three of them, warts/rashes/whatever you want to call them... I think MAC scared away a lot of gals who are conscious of how products look not only when applied, but when in packaging as well!
Haha! Yeah I thought they looked kinda gross too
For real! That didn't occur to me either. LOL
LOL! I am cracking up right now. It does now that I look at it again :p.
WOW this is really gorgeous on you. I love the color it makes when swirled together!
holyyyyyyyyyyyyy that is so unexpectedly versatile and beautiful!!!!!!!
This looks great on you! I like it, but I don't NEED it. there are too many other things I have to have from this collection!
