I just recently made my first purchase at MAC and I decided to get Viva Glam Nicki and the Face and Body foundation. Since it was my very first time in MAC I worked with a consultant to figure out my color and which foundation would be best for my skin. After she applied the foundation she also applied MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish which made the look perfect for me. So my question for you guys is after you apply this foundation ( Face and Body Foundation) do you also apply MAC's skinfinish or do you apply something else?
ive had mine for 3 years and its cmpletly lasted,smells gorgeous and gives you an amazing colour nice and glowly and natural id say medium coverge depending on how much you use, deffo for the summer gorgeouss
Hey Djenaba! Honestly, the MSF after-application depends on your skin. I wear Face and Body over a sunscreen and it lasts pretty much all day on my combo skin without any powder over. But if you're on the oilier side, I'd top with a pressed powder or MSF. If you're on the drier side, try wearing Face and Body on its own and track how the finish progresses throughout the day.
But I'd probably splurge on the MSF too, regardless :) It gave you a great finish, right?
Usually when I use the face and body foundation or any liquid foundation I use the Mac translucent powder to set my foundation or the Mac sheer loose foundation for a little more coverage and set my foundation as well. Sometimes I will apply the powders all over my face and sometimes just in my T zone area so my whole face won't look so matte and I will keep the rest of my face powder free in order to keep that glow on the cheeks area.
@victoria yes i loved it. I went to the MAC kiosk in macy's today and I ended up getting the MSF natural by accident but im hoping this is good as well :/
