It’s no secret that of all the formulas that M·A·C makes, Mineralize Skinfinish is my favorite. I love the luminosity this formula imparts. So perfect then, that it’s part of a collection called Lightness of Being. The Mineralize Skinfinishes in this collection, Lightscapade and Perfect Topping, both look gorgeous. The other thing I love in this collection are the textured treatment to the top of the Eyeshadows, Blushes and Skinfinishes. I haven’t had the opportunity to try the products out yet; I’ve been sidelined with knee surgery.
I have quite a few MAC mineralize skinfinish products in my collection and one recommendation I can make is to buy the right brush. Not only will the MAC 159, 187 and 287 Duo Fiber brushes give you a better result; they will make sure you aren’t wasting or degrading product. Although expensive, I find these brushes invaluable in working with mineralize skinfinishes.
The M·A·C Lightness of Being Collection is available now in department stores including Nordstrom and online at Maccosmetics.com. Are you planning to pick up anything from this collection? Let me know in the comments!
