Mineralize Skin Finishes
Heavenly Creatures MSF's by Mac
Mac Earthshine Blush
This shade is really, and I mean, REALLY intense. Like use a
stippling brush with a feather light hand if you have a medium or lighter skin
tone. I can’t stress how easy it is to go overboard with this shade, and the
texture is extremely unforgiving. It doesn’t want to diffuse at all; it barely
blends along the edges, but with enough persistance, it can be blended out to
look one with the skin. This color will work well with deeper complexions, and
it can certainly work on lighter skin tones, just be prepared for some trial
and error.
The texture of Earthshine is dry and powdery, which did make
blending more difficult and I ended up cheating a bit by using loose powder
around the edges to blend out the edges. Its finish is decidedly metallic; it
was extremely reflective, though not glittery, and it did emphasize my
pores. The wear on Earthshine was better
than Center of the Universe, as it lasted for seven hours before it started to
fade noticeably.
Mac Center of the Universe Blush
Depending on how heavily you concentrate on the golden shade, you may have a soft shimmer finish or something more metallic. The shimmer from the golden color doesn’t seem to be too sparkly, though it doesn’t bind together perfectly, so it’s not completely smooth. This was one of the sheerer shades out of the four from this collection. It’s very warm-toned, too, with strong orange tones. I see this working best on light-medium complexions with warm, yellow undertones.
