MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Soft and Gentle Review

Im very pale and i wasn't sure this highlighter would be light enough for me, but it is! It has a very light bronze tint to it so you have to be careful if you are very very pale. It makes you look so healthy and glory, i love to put it on my cheekbones to make them stand out, it has a bit of glitter in it so it really does make you glow!

This is such a stunning highlighter. I use most days just applying to my cheekbones but after reading some awesome reviews I will definitely find some new uses for it! It provides a beautiful subtle glow but is definitely buildable for a more intense look. I currently just apply with a powder brush but look forward to purchasing a blusher brush or something more suitable to make application that much easier. You only need such a small amount of product, I literally just lightly tap my brush and that’s all I need. A family friend purchased this for me while in America, and although much cheaper there I would definitely repurchase this product here in NZ. Yes it’s definitely quite expensive but I was given this I am guessing a year and a half ago and it still looks full. Which is insane! My sister steals this whenever she can and wants to buy one for herself! Definitely recommend purchasing you won’t regret!

I couldn't decide between a whole lot of highlighters and when the husband got a trip to Melbourne, I decided to make him get this for me in duty free. I do not for one second regret making him do this! This highlight lasts all day. It isn't overly glittery and doesn't emphasise pores. It blends so easily and is buildable so you can go either subtle to hello disco ball and anywhere in between.

I did find that the powder is quite fine and like the Hourglass AL powders, it does kind of go everywhere, but the packaging is also really nice - the magnet keeps it very much closed (the new packaging that is).

This has worked its way into my every day makeup and I just love love love the subtle glow it gives - it really is a soft and gentle highlight!

After searching for what feels like a lifetime for a fail proof highlighter - I need look no further! Soft and gentle adds the perfect luminosity to cheek bones and other high points without looking too over powering and feeling like a disco ball. Tried it for the first time tonight and got so many compliments on my highlighter! I found the formula to be beautifully silky when applying and you can definitely build it up to the pigment you're after without being scared to go too far. I used a fan brush and then a big fluffy real techniques brush to sweep over my cheeks and other highlighting areas. I would recommend this shade to most skin tones as a trusty highlighter. Not chalky. Not difficult to blend. Gives a beautiful flawless finish and can definitely be used all over for super intense glowy, dewy and give you that 'pregnancy glow' without the pregnancy. Can't rave enough about this pretty pearlescent shade.

MAC mineralise powder for me is the best thing I have every come across. I have stopped using a foundation and just use this solely, great coverage, stays on all day. Love it.

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 is my number one, never let me down product, I cant even explain my joy with this amazing getup.

I have other highlighters - cream -powders and I do use them However i will always use this over the top to finish, It comes out really nice in photos if you wanting that shimmer , I also use this for eyeshadow over the top of a natural - or going out look, or to put in my eye pocket to bring out my eyes,

Its really pretty and shimmery I do think you can use this with any skin type as it can blend quite well

I do love the old MAC soft and gentle packaging, as the glass bit can pop off sometimes but it still looks pretty, and it will always be my go to product with out a doubt.

So I came across this by accident. BEST accident I've ever had. I was skeptical it would suit my colour tone being a rosey gold colour and me being olive. I thought it'd be too pinky toned for me but it suited me well. Like all Mac products it's something that's going to last me a while.

I love the lightness of this highlighter on my skin. Definitely something I'd recommend and buy again.

I truly love this product and it is one of my go to highlighters.

Firstly the packaging is nice, fairly simple but effective. The product is baked onto a pan and it really does last forever!

The powder itself is a beautiful rose gold colour and looks perfect on the cheek bones, above the lip or under eye brow. Best to apply with a small brush or I guess you could use your fingers as well (but blend well).

My all time favorite Highlighter! It gives a great glow to the skin and totally worth the hype. I apply this with a fan brush along my cheek bone, above the eye brow, cupids bow, down the nose, and on the eye lid. Use a light hand when using this product as it is pretty intense!! It isn't a super finely milled powder, as it is a little more chunky with glitter, but its not chalky at all. This product will suit a large range of skin types, and it will last you forever! The amount of product is great and you won't need much to get that glow from within look!
