MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Soft and Gentle Review

Ever since my skin has started to look so amazing and my acne and acne scarring have significantly reduced I dont mind attracting some attention to my face and that means a whole new world of highlighters and glowy makeup has been opened up to me.

The highlighters I already owned before this are all in chubby stick form and their creamy. I never owned a power highligher so I was extremely excited I could make this purchase and have not regretted it.

Soft and Gentle is probably the most beautiful champagne colour, that is extremely glowing, that I have seen. This highlighter is glowy but it doesnt make you look like a disco ball by being overly sparkly. Its such a romantic champagne hue.

I love to wear this on my cheek bones, just above my blusher. After applying a full face of makeup highlighting will be the last step for me and then I'll decide how intense I want the glow depending on what else is happening on my face. I apply this highlighter with my ring finger as I feel this gives me more control over the application and I can make it as intense as I want without losing product to makeup brushes.

When you swipe this highlighter on your fingers, its this beautiful powder that almost turns in cream with an incredible butter scotch smell that is iconic of MAC makeup. I dab the highligher, not rub, as this gives me the most intense glow. Once highlighting is complete, I take my blusher brush and literally just touch the highlighter so it picks up the smallest amount and then I apply it over my blush to give my entire cheek area a subtle healthy glow. I hate it when girls apply highlighter and the line above their cheeks is prominent and not blended, so I prefer to add the highlighter to my entire cheek area subtlely.

I have used this highlighter everyday since purchasing it out of excitement but also out of pur love. Its work amazing in the day time when you just add a touch to your face, and people compliment you on looking healthy and happy. Also with night time, you can go crazy and it looks amazing and you will receive non stop compliments about glowing.

This powder has become my makeup staple! I use it everyday, once in the morning, and sometimes later in the day if I am going out for dinner, and I am never disappointed with the coverage. I do use a sponge instead of a brush to apply, as I find it lasts longer and it covers better.

If I'm using a liquid foundation, I use the powder as a highlighter, and just extra coverage (kinda like a setting powder).

I've tried others, from cheaper brands to more expensive ones, and 8 years later I am still using MAC.

This is a fantastic product which I would recommend to my friends. I use this every day as it provides great coverage but can be applied lightly for a more natural daytime look. Mac has a wide range of shades which suit anny complexion. This mineral powder is great for covering blemishes, especially when used alongside Mac concealers.

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!
