MAC mineralize skinfinish natural

 

 

 

 

My new favourite powder

Why I've never tried this before I don't know, it's lightweight & non drying, due to it being mineral based it has that lovely, slight luminosity which stops your face looking "flat". It's the only powder I've used that acts like a powder without looking like one. I can tell this is going to be a long term relationship.

I'm in the shade Medium and love applying it with the real techniques powder brush.

MAC Melba Blush

 MAC powder blush in "Melba" £17

Because of not owning (and therefore needing) a peach toned blush, I felt I was missing out! I always grab my topshop "neon rose" cream blush in the morning, but since it's winter and my skin is getting paler I wanted something a little more subtle and "peach".

In the pan I found this blush a little pink on the pink side,  but when applied MAC Melba is the perfect true peach, not too pinky or bright like some peach blushes can be, it leaves a lovely flush of colour to the cheeks. 

Not being one for shiny cheeks, I primarily went for Melba because it's a matte finish (my favourite), I find the MAC matte finish blushes are true to colour, sheer enough but easily build-able for the intensity you want, without any of that dreaded shimmer which I find just too much for winter mornings.

I also think this would look great with a tan!
