The Mineralize Skinfinish formula is described as a “velvety soft” face powder with a “radiant finish” that can be used to “add highlights to the high points of the face.” The Mineralize Skinfinish Collection for spring features five new, limited edition shades — the collection debuts on March 31st online. Faintly Fabulous had good color payoff with a soft, smooth, and lightly dusty texture that was easy to apply to the skin and blend out. The finish was luminous without being metallic or too sparkly on the skin, so I didn’t have any issues with the powder emphasizing the skin’s natural texture or the look of pores. The color started to fade after seven and a half hours on me.

Your whole look with this release is so soft and pretty Christine. I’m really surprised by it honestly. I have need for subtle, natural makeup for many of my daytime obligations and will be giving this whole collection a thorough going over! Thanks for posting so much of it.
Thank you, Trish! 🙂
I couldn’t agree more. I wasn’t too thrilled with some swatches I saw but seeing this eyeshadow that you’re wearing, I’m reconsidering it.
Very pretty on you, Christine!
Thanks, Fran!
I really like this one on you! It’s luminous but still has a softness to it.
Aw, thanks a lot, Chris!
Too orange for me, but will look beautiful on others!
It should!
Not too keen on the design I actually prefer the swirled ones over the separate ones. You end up mixing them together anyway.
The one upside is that you can direct your brush to get a lighter/darker/warmer/cooler mix if you go heavy on say, two or three shades, than all four. I think you can get more consistent color with them already swirled, though.
these looks interesting! can’t wait to see what you think of the other colors. You look great, as always, Christine!
Thank you, Allison!
Christine, Can I use it as a blush without being to shimmery?
Cause I already have an oily skin
It’s fairly shimmery, IMO! One thing you can do is apply a setting powder on top of it 🙂 This is true with anything more shimmery!
I like how this can be separated or swirled together. On my wish list! 🙂
Yay! 😀
This shade of highlighter is quite different from other highlighters in my collection. Not a must have but might purchase it if it comes to the CCO.
I’ll be curious if any of this launch lands in CCOs!
You look so pretty in this makeup. It just emphasizes your natural good looks.
Thank you, Wendy!
I don’t think it would work for me, but it’s quite pretty.
It is lovely-looking!
Reminds me of the inside of one of those Battenburg cakes 🙂
Hopefully that’s a good thing, lol!
Faintly Fabulous looks so beautifully radiant on you! But light orange-peach on my cheeks? Not so sure…although I DO wear Arena eye-shadow on my lids, Reel Sexy and Ravishing lipsticks, so maybe.
Aw, thank you, Nancy! I think if you can do Reel Sexy, you can do this!
Hmm, I was hoping that it would be a tad less warm-toned. The pink on its own is nice but not enough to warrant me getting this.
Oh well, at least I’m happy with the Mineralize Skinfinishes and Mineralize Blushes I already have. I’m just glad that the Blonde Mineralize Skinfinish is so big because I use it so much! Maybe I should start looking for a backup though, just in case, because so far I’ve not come across anything that similar to it. Time to check the dupes! ?
I can’t even imagine how long it must take to get through one MSF!
I know! I’ve made a noticeable dent in it but there’s still tonnes left.
I reorganised my collection just this week and have rediscovered some old favourite blushes, so hopefully I won’t be reaching for the Blonde MSF so often! I also found my old Prescriptives Illuminator- man I love that thing and there’s no way to replace it. Why are the best ones LE or discontinued? MAC Moon River Mineralize Blush is another example. Why?! LOL! ?
On me that would be a blush!
I could see that!
This looks like a gorgeous product – I would have to see the collection myself in order to choose the shade, but I love it.
It came together nicely!
Again the same thing happens.. I happen to like something and it is LE. I think i will give all of them a pass
Aww!
