MAC Definitely Defined Extra Dimension Skinfinish
MAC Definitely Defined Extra Dimension Skinfinish ($30.00 for 0.31 oz.) is described as a “silvery pink/soft rose with shimmer.” Swirled together, it is a soft peach with a hint of pink and a frosted, golden champagne sheen. MAC Light Year is warmer, darker. MAC By Candlelight is lighter. bareMinerals The Love Affair is warmer, more peach. MAC Superb is browner. Bobbi Brown Rose Gold is more beige. Laura Mercier Rose Rendezvous is browner. The lighter shade is a pale champagne with a frosted, metallic finish. Chanel Beiges Ombres Tissees is more beige, less golden. The darker shade is a peachy-orange with a frosted finish. MAC Utterly Game is somewhat similar in color but is mostly matte.
The lighter shade has a very, very metallic finish, so as a highlighter is incredibly reflective and emphasizes pores and any imperfections in the skin noticeably. The darker shade has a rather frosted finish (rather than a metallic one), but it does somewhat emphasize pores. On lighter complexions, this will show up as more of a highlighter/blush combination, while on medium to dark complexions, it will be subtler and better as a highlighter (generally). It has a soft, slightly dry, consistency and feel, but it applies with good color payoff and builds up well. It does blend out easily, and it doesn’t look powdery on the skin. When I tested Definitely Defined, it lasted for seven and a half hours well, but after eight and a half, there was some patchiness (MAC says this formula will last ten hours).

I’m really disappointed at how peach this is given the description. Not very pink at all.
I agree! I was expecting this to be a bit more peachy/rosey. This is very very close to Superb (which I LOVE) but I was expecting a pinky color.
I see that it does emphasize pores due to its frostiness…you still look great though!
Thank you Christine. I still think I’ll be getting the dark one, I believe is double definition. I am an nc20, but after I saw how it looks on you, I can’t wait to get it.
I love the color and finish of Superb, but it’s too dark on me. How much lighter is Definitely Defined?
Superb is a lot browner – if Superb is too dark, I doubt this will work better for you!
Thanks Christine! It’s $30 saved, at least.
I absolutely love it. I don’t live near a MAC store & the website has said “coming soon” for a freakin week now so I doubt ill be able to even try this. I don’t have large pores on my cheeks so I don’t think that will be an issue for me, lets hope not anyway. My biggest concern on that area is excessive dryness 🙁
This is so sad 🙁 I was hoping on a duo version of superb! :/
I know you’ve received a million comments like this but you really have been such a fabulous compass for my beauty needs. Thank you so much for the immense amounts of work that I know I can’t begin to fathom. Additionally my subscriptions don’t seem to be working- I am all set to receive others comments but haven’t gotten any in days. Thirdly- will you be reviewing any of the MAC Pro Nudes and Metallics (I know thats a long shot)?
Just waiting to buy it – I don’t think it’s out yet?
Also will have my guys look into the tech issue you mentioned!
I envy your skin Christine! I think the products looks beautiful on you.
how does this compare to redhead MSF?
Warmer, pinker.
macys.com has it now.
what foundation do you usually wear when taking these pics? your skin always looks gorgeous!
For these, I’m wearing Giorgio Armani Maestro!
=D
Trying to decide between this one and “Shape the Future” — they both look really pretty. I love the idea of this, with the lighter and darker tones of the same shade.
I think this is really pretty, but I expected it to be a bit more pink. I’m debating on this one haha. Thanks, Christine!
Look warm to me which makes me feel better about not getting it!
Thanks for the comparisons as always. MAC Light Year turn orange on me to my horror because of the colour on my skin tone. lol
How does it compare to Stereo Rose?
Stereo Rose is a lot darker, redder.
Hi Christine! Thank you for the amazing review, as always. Quick question~ how does Definitely Defined compare to Petticoat MSF? Thanks!
Petticoat is darker, more berry/red!
hi! How does it compare to Mac skinfinish Whisper of Gilt? Which do you prefer? thank you
They’re not at all the same color!
