Most of the times we tend to review LE products, but neglect the regular items especially for base products. So this post is dedicated to reviewing the 3 MAC pressed powders that I currently own.
My personal preference is leaning towards Liquid foundation n pressed powders for setting/touch ups as I don't like the feel of powder foundations on my face EVEN if i use a brush to apply. They still feel powdery on my face.
Select sheer pressed
- For all skin types (But i feel this would suit combination or oily skin pple better)
- Delivers a natural matte finish
- helps to control oil
- Sheer to sheer med coverage depending on the type of applcation u use
General comment: It's Ok for me but I don't love it....does control oil on my T-zone for me. But on dryer areas, it can get a bit dryin n powdery. And I always use a powder brush for this. Will not repurchase this again as I very much prefer the MSF natural and studio careblend pressed
Studio careblend pressed
- Contains MAC careblend essential oils
- More geared towards people with normal to dry skin, (not much oil control)
- Delivers a natural finish, not as matte as the Select sheer pressed, but doesn't give a satin finish like the msf natural. I would describe this as in between the 2.
- Sheer coverage
General comment: Quite like this powder, it's pretty silky smooth and blends into my skin better than the Select sheer pressed. Would repurchase this again.
Mineralized skinfinish natural
- Contains 77 trace minerals
- Sheer to medium coverage
- Gives a natural satin finish (If u swatch this on ur hand, u will notice that there is very slight sheen / shimmer in it)
General comment: Love love love this. It always make my skin look super smooth even on days when i'm not wearing any liquid foundation below this. Although powder may feel a bit coarse when swiped on the hand (as compared to the other 2 pressed powders which feel more silky smooth on my hand), but it does not feel that way on the skin. It gives a very natural subtle glow to the skin n blends in nicely. If u want a natural matte finish though, I would still recommend u the select sheer pressed as the MSF definitely does not give a matte finish. But I love this n would repurchase this again.
