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. Nuanced had good pigmentation with a soft, smooth, and lightly dusty consistency that was incredibly easy to blend out on the skin. I was surprised the texture didn’t emphasize pores, but it applied in such a way that it gave a good sheen instead. On me, the color started to break down after seven hours of wear.

I like this one quite a bit. I have a couple of the dupes though. There is a slight difference between them. Since I’m a highlighter junkie, they go into consideration.
Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates! 🙂

This looks beautiful on you Christine! So pretty. ?

What would be a lighter equivalent for those of us who are ‘peely-wally’ (Scottish for extremely pale and/or looking unwell, not that I’m unwell at all)? I’ve always liked that term. ?

I love this! I love the msf/mineralize blush formula. One of the few that don’t look too powdery on me, maybe because of the way they reflect light. I will definitely be checking out this collection, hopefully in store.

This might be too warm for me, so something to swatch St the counter. Looks lovely on you, Christine.

P.S. the Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson comparator is $65 (vs. $32).
