A personal favourite

I really love the MAC Mineralise Skin Finish - it's literally one of my favourite setting powders. I love mines. It is the perfect finishing touch to my make-up. It's not overly powdery and doesn't sit on your skin like a layer of obvious foundation. It blends really well and actually blurs your skin to look perfect. It really is signature MAC quality, and yes it is very expensive but very worth it. It lasts a very long time, depending on how much you use and how often you wear makeup.

Tips: I find that using a large powder brush to blend this into my skin works perfectly. You will see a noticeable difference in the way your skin looks and feels.

MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Soft and Gentle

this is my go to cheek finish! my mum bought this for me a while back and i love it, its great because you controll the amount of cover you get, its not too dark and it doesnt look over the top. I love the shimmer that it brings, expecially for those days when you feel a bit flat, it brightens everything up. i also use it sometimes on my eyes if im just wearing mascara.

Tips: squeze your brush together and start with a light coat and build the cover from there.

No other highlighter even comes close!

Oh how I love thee! I'm a fairly recent "highlighter junkie" - I only discovered the power of a quality illuminating product in the last 6 months after watching hundreds of YouTube videos (such a guilty pleasure!)

Previously I had been a strict "matte only" girl. I wanted to look absolutely flawless, think foundation, powder a light dusting on matte bronzer, perfect lips and perfect eyes. Now my look is the same but oh so different!

My love affair with highlighter started with TheBalm Marylou manizer. I had seen it's praises being shouted all over YouTube and I HAD to get my hands on it. But it just wasn't good enough, I wanted something better, something that would make my skin look lit from within, healthy & GLOWING.

Enter Soft & Gentle. I had seen it on YouTube many times but I'd never given it much thought until a friend told me how incredible it was. So off I went to buy it & that was the beginning of my love affair! I have very light skin with pink undertones, I burn easily and can tend to look washed out if I'm not careful. This highlighter powder is the definition of perfection. It's the most amazing colour, it's makes my skin glow, it never looks fake, it brightens up everything about my face, my eyes look brighter, my skin looks luminous and healthy & it stops my makeup from looking flat.

I use it under my eyes, above my cheekbones, in the lower center of my forehead and on my cupids bow. You can build it up or leave it sheer and light and no matter how often you use it the pan stays full. I can't imagine ever running out of this and I can't imagine ever finding anything that even comes close to this amazing product!

Tips: Buy it. Don't even think about it, just buy it

Soft and Gentle

This is the only highliggghter I use! I love the sleek packaging and knowing that I am getting value for money when purchasing MAC products. I find that the mineral highlighters glide onto my skin effortlessly and give the right amount of shine it almost looks natural when the light hits my cheeks. The blend of colours in the powder blend perfectly into my natural skin tone! Great product will continue to buy

Tips: Use only a small amount as a little goes a long way

Soft n Gentle

I am conflicted on this highlighter. Yes, it is very pretty. Yes, it is a nice quality. But is it actually worth it?? I brought mine from MAC USA site direct, so I didn't pay the inflated price NZ sells it for which I'm thankful for. It's not really something I haven't seen before and is along the same level as Mary Lou Manizer and Stila Duo All Over Shimmer. It's no better quality or standard to those products in my opinion.... So not very life changing for me unfortunately BUT it is still very nice and gives a beautiful highlight... Just like the other mentioned highlighters do! It is quite shimmery so you need to be light handed.

I think if your a huge MAC fan and want a nice quality highlighter in your collection then this is great. I'm just jaded as I seem to have a collection of similar products building up! But if your on a hunt for a good highlighter then this is probably worth a try if you can afford it. It will last you a long time so you get a lot of use for your money.

Nice alternative to a bronzer

Unless you have a good brush it can be a bit difficult to apply, however its a great highlighter. When I don't want to use a bronzer it blend well with my blush, I think also the price is a bit high for this product. But currently I have been using it for over 3 month most days and it hasn't even touched the pan!

Perrrfect!!

I have been using this mineralise powder for last 5 months and it's just perfect. I use it as setting powder sometimes as well as just go nude with this powder over moisturiser. It's indeed soft and gentle and good for highlighting as well.

Glowing

This Is in my top five highlighters. It would probably be No 2! It is Beautiful. I find that if you wet your brush with Fix + it give a less chunky glittery feel and a more glowing radiant shine.

So good!

I use this nearly everyday as a contour and highlight. It has an amazing color but has quite a heavy glitter, which is easy to get around if you have a slightly damp brush. LOVE this luxe powder!
