Warm Aura
MAC Warm Aura Mineralize Skinfinish ($34.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a soft, light-medium pink with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It was comprised of four shades within the compact (which would be doable to use two at a time but not quite one at a time without being careful to use only the small edge of a brush), which included: soft pink, pink-peach, dark pink, and light peach-pink.
It had good color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with two layers or easily sheered out (or applied with a lighter hand) for less intense coverage if preferred, which made it a more versatile powder that could work as a highlighter or highlighting blush, depending on one’s skin tone and whatever else it was paired with. The consistency felt smooth to the touch and blended out with little effort on my skin. It wore well for eight hours before I noticed any fading.

Barely Dressed
MAC Barely Dressed Mineralize Skinfinish ($34.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a pale white with subtle, warm undertones and a soft, metallic sheen. It was comprimsed of four shades–white with pink shift, white with violet shift, white with green-yellow shift, and white with yellow shift–but blended together it just came a warmer white but didn’t really seem to shift.
Each quadrant would be larger enough to get the point of a tapered highlighting brush in if used with great care, but it would be more likely to concentrate a highlighting brush with two or more of the quadrants due to the size. The consistency was smooth, soft, and blendable with just a touch of dustiness in the pan (but it did not appear powdery on my skin). It had opaque pigmentation that was easy to sheer out or to apply with a lighter hand for more adjustable coverage. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading slightly.

MAC Eyeshadows ($7.00 for 0.05 oz.) come in a slew of neutrals with some pops of color. The range has really changed over time, and as someone who has followed and bought a lot of MAC products for over a decade, it’s incredible to see what shades have been discontinued (and which somehow have clung on for dear life) over the years. I tried to check and verify my picks based on what’s currently available but might have missed a couple (let me know, and I’ll pick an alternate or remove + redo!).

Show Gold
MAC Show Gold Extra Dimension Skinfinish ($33.00 for 0.31 oz.) is a light, yellowed-peach base with peach-to-pink shifting sparkle and pearl. It had a more sparkling, metallic finish than most of the brand’s Extra Dimension Skinfinishes, and you have to like a stronger, more intense highlighter to fall for this one, I think. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable.
It’s been part of the permanent range for awhile to my memory, but it was recently repromoted with the MAC Strobe collection. I didn’t find that the newest compact of it (shown here) was any different than the one I tried in 2016. The consistency was a bit drier with noticeable texture from the inclusion of larger sparkles in it compared to other shades in the same formula. I also felt that the finish was more noticeable and nuanced in person than in photos, as it did have a visible shift (sometimes looked a bit silvery/gray, though, depending on the angle–this was less of an issue when I layered it with a blush or bronzer). The powder applied evenly and blended out with little work. It wore well for eight hours before it started to fade on me.

Whisper of Gilt
MAC Whisper of Gilt Extra Dimension Skinfinish ($33.00 for 0.31 oz.) is a bright, light-medium gold with warmer, peachy-gold undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented and had a smooth, soft consistency that was easy to apply to my skin and blended out with almost no effort at all. I didn’t find it emphasized my skin’s natural texture at higher-coverage levels. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before it started to fade a bit.
I have had a few iterations of this product over the years, and I did notice that this version (which is permanent) was a bit lighter than the oldest one I have on hand, though I think for anyone who is fair to medium and tends to wear their highlighter at sheerer coverage levels, the difference wouldn’t be noticeable as the difference was detectable at high coverage only.

MAC x Nicopanda Collection
MAC x Nicopanda Collection features three eye/cheek palettes, standalone face powder, six lipsticks, and four lipglosses, which are swatched below. A few of the lipsticks were good, while I could see the glosses working for layering, but overall, this collection left me disappointed.
