This is a very beautiful highlight. Not too shimmery, and just right at giving off a nice sheen. Unfortunately I give this a three because I bought it to apply to my entire face to give it an overall glow but it broke me out (honestly, what doesn't break me out? My skin is so frustrating at times!) and that just kind of defeats the whole purpose of having bought it if I can't put it on my face. Of course I still do use this on my brown bones, inner corner and down my nose but I just can't justify the hefty price tag if that's all I was going to use this for :(

This was the first highlighter I ever tried, and I loved it when I first used it. But when I branched out into other highlighters, I realized how sparkly this one is in comparison to others. This is better used on a night out, and isn't very well suited for every day wear. I much prefer the MAC Cream Color base in Pearl. It's less sparkly, is much more wearable, and is cheaper than the MSF. I think the MSF is just much too over-hyped.

This is the only mineralize skinfinish that I own.
I was really exited when I ordered it, but when I tried it I thought I love my prestige highliter more.

This is a beige/peach gold powder with really fine -glitters-.
I'm not a super fan of the consistency, I found it a little bit gritty. I think is because of the fine glitters.
I don't love the glitters and I don't like to have them on my face.

Overall I think this is a beautiful highliter that give a nice glow, but not the best.

I love this! It gives my skin a perfect highlighted look. I use this on the bridge of my nose, cupids bow & cheekbones! I would recommend MAC Gold Deposit MSF, for people with darker skin tones. They're both pricey, at 34$, but it will last a long time! Definitely repurchasing this, love! continued >>

I love this highlighter its my 2nd fav msf (behind the LE msf in starwonder). This is a beautiful champagne color mixed with silver and gold shimmers.
Because of that i feel it can work with many diffrent skintones and undertones

Important note: This msf is NOT glittery. Those who believe its chunky or glittery are not using it properly. It is not meant to be used all over the face nor is it meant to be used with a dense brush.

How I apply it: with a medium fluffy or dual fibre brush, you only need to touch it to the msf and shake off the excess and sweep it over anywhere the light would naturall hit and viola beautiful glow! :)

My skin tone is NC20 from Mac and sadly Soft and Gentle looks ashy.

Recently purchased this product and I like it a lot it works great if you apply just a little bit to your cheeks. Apparently some people like to apply the product to their entire faces but I think that's just stupid..
Amazing when any form of light hits your cheeks it really gives definition (:

My new crazy obsession, although I've owned this for 2 years. I don't know why my love for this did not start sooner. It makes complete strangers stare 5 seconds more.
Looks so healthy, glowy, instantly pretty. I just wish it looked the same on pictures, it doesn't! Do not use this on days you will be photographed because you will end up looking sweaty or extremely oily. All the other days - it stops traffic!

i feel like this is an urban decay eyeshadow in highlighter form. way too frosty/glittery. it gives a nice sheen but the sheen quickly fades and you're left glitter. you can get the same effect by using sin eyeshadow or grand entrance. returned it and got a hard candy highlighter instead which turned out to be way better
