I don't like this very much. Think the glittery parts are too chunky. Color is nice, but it's just not as silky as my Becca shimmer powders and I don't think it lasts as well either.

I should be the perfect match for the color (pale, cool, blonde), but it's a bit too pink for my taste. Overall, i just don't think it was worth the money, and I like Beccas kind of shimmer much, much better.

PP is a gorgeous light pink highlighter! I'm NC15, and it makes my cheekbones glow! It is lighter than MAC Blonde MSF, and has a more "natural" sheen too. PP is one that will always remain in my stash :)

This is a beautiful product but needs improvement.

Cute, slightly on the pink side highlighter. But the texture is just a tad cakey for a highlighter.

With such a beautiful colour, it would be perfect if it was more like a Shimmerbrick.

Unfortunately it feels like it doesn't completely blend with my skin when I put it on.

Ah I spent so long pestering my MAC counter for this, Apres Chic came out the the PP MSF was the last to come and every day I called seeing if it came in. I am so glad I bought it. Gorgeous pink highlighter, no glitter chunks, nice for daytime and nighttime use. The packaging is fine, no mirror is fine for me seeing as I don't usually retouch my makeup or if I do it's in a bathroom.
I will repurchase when it next re-releases.

Absolutely in love with this MSF as it works exceptionally well with my complexion, for reference I'm a MAC NC15 or Matchmaster shade 1. This MSF departs a beautiful glow of iridescent pink with gold shimmer to the tops of my cheekbones that pairs well with pink toned shades of blushes. I apply this product with the 188. I've also used this MSF as a shadow and a highlighter to my brow bone and inner eye corners too. Awesome product that's totally worth the price.

I got this and fell in love with the pretty light pink irridecence with the golden highlights. This highlighter is very finely milled and goes on the face with ease. I just use a light hand with the brush to get a nice highlight on my cheeks. This is definatley one of Mac's best msf's in my experience.

This is my second MSF and it is africkinmazing. The pic above doesn't do it justice. Its a frosty light pink with golden shimmer. Its LE but if I ever run out I would buy it again.

Finally jumped on the MSF bandwagon. I figured out about these really late and have eyed them on the swap boards for quite some time, but never seemed to have what anyone wanted to swap for them! Anyway, this color caught my eye because of it's so called "lack of pigmentation." I hate blush, so I was drawn in by that. So I bought it in the Apres Chic release. Holy moly! My NW20 skin is glowing. I have a MAC bronzer the same size without a dome and using it every day for over a year there isn't even a dip. This will last forever so it's a great value!

UPDATE: Maybe I am just not a powder highlighter type of gal, I have recently noticed in natural light this looks incredibly fake on my skin in the sun. Really noticable and almost chalky in day like, even with a light hand. This is going back!

this is a beautiful shimmery pearly pink shade, that i use as a highlight over a pink blush (such as NARS Orgasm). it could be used as a blush on a very pale person, however it is too light to be used on my skintone (NC20) as a blush.
i think that i will have this product for a very long time as it is 9g and you only need to use a little bit to get a pretty highlighted effect on the cheeks.
i wouldnt repurchase this product, as i dont feel that its something i NEED to have in my makeup collection. however if your someone who is looking for a good quality highlight shade with the money to spend, go for it!

I bought a load of makeup on Boxing Day and I swore that was it for 2013.then I saw mac had the new après chic range out.i have wanted an msf for a long time but I needed a colour that wouldn't look ashy on my nc 30-35 ish skintone. I tried soft and gently instore and I did not like it.it looked ashy on my skin. The sales girl was more tan
And it looked even worse on her! i thought it looked like chunky shimmer too.
This colour porcelain pink is perfect!!!
I could use this with tinted moisturiser, a lil under eye concealer and mascara,job done!
It's my new absolute holy grail highlighter.it will gently pick up any makeup look.the particles are very fine, not big and glittery at all.the colour is a very soft warm pinky peach.it would work as a very light blush on the palest skins.ive heard this is comparable to the msf in 'by candlelight' from a few years ago.
This is one product I will def be keeping a stash of and I usually change my makeup all the time,so its rare for me to keep to one particular thing. If in doubt buy it!! You won't be dissapointed with this!!

I am a blue eyed NW10 (NW20 when tanning).

This is a great highlighter for under blushes and brow bones. It's a subtle mix of peachy-pink and champagne gold shimmer. Very pretty on my coloring, good for the day time and highlighting the looks. Not necessarily the highlighter for evening looks. But a must for PPPs.

MAC Pink Porcelain MSF is my absolutely #1 favorite MSF of all time. It's so pretty that I have two backups in my shelf already. Obviously, it's not part of a permanent line but it's well worth stacking one or two of these MSFs when they're repromoted. It's a very sheer, light pink that leans on towards to light peach which I think is very 'everday wearable' shade. You can't go wrong with this color. You can just use it on your cheeks for a sheer pink glow or layer it over another blush for a different effect. I personally like to use this as a highlighter on my cheeks. It doesn't necessarily pop out of my cheeks but it gives that lovely pink glow (all girls want, right?) during different angles of the light. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Highly recommended.

My Favourite mac msf by far , I am Nc15 brown hair . I love this for giving my cheeks a lovely healthy looking glow. Its subtle and flattering. I even bought a back up just to make sure I don't run out any time soon.

I bought this and lightscapade when MAC rereleased them earlier in the fall. I am a huge fan of both, and enjoy using this one as a highlight or over blush. Between the two, I think Porcelain Pink is the must have as it is very universally flattering, compared to lightscapade, which can look ashy on darker skin tones (I don't have this problem, but I usually use LS all over my face with a light hand).
I'm NW25 for reference.

This is definitely a HG product for me. I'm on my second Porcelain Pink now and just bought another back up last week at the CCO. I use this product for highlighting and getting that dewy sort of look. I use it over pink blushes (use Soft n Gentle over browner/darker blushes) and it really makes them pop. I usually use it in conjunction with Fix+ which also helps with the dewy look and also sweeps the product on a bit better. This definitely falls under the category of a harder pressed MSF but not awful.
PROS: beautiful MSF, shimmery without being overpowering, great with fix+
CONS: since it's a LE it's harder to find (but MAC repremotes this one often enough that it's not too too bad)

It's absolutely stunning. I love the gold in it. It gives the face just the right amount of glow rather than making your face look like its caked with sparkles. I would recommend this to just about anyone, but since it is discontinued I would really look into maybe swapping with someone or going to the CCO.

I bought this when it was part of the High Tea collection. Years later it's 2010 and I'm finally using it. I just couldn't get it right before. Finding the right brush to apply the MSFs can be tricky. The only 2 I've found that work for me are MAC's contour blush brush and the synthetich blush brush by The Body Shop. They deposit just the right about of color with literally no powder fall-out. Other brushes I used had me looking like disco ball. I like using Porcelain Pink MSF to accent my cheeckbones and give my face a more complete look. I thought the reason it didn't look right when I first got it, was because maybe it was too light for my skintone, but I bought it for a highlighter since minerals (good ones) tend to be pure color and not fillers. I finally achieved the glowy-rosy-golden-iridescence look that I always aimed for. I get lots of compliments with it when I pair it with MAC's Blunt powder blush. I use that to contour under my cheek bones. So this and PP are my HG pair. At least right now or until I discover an even better look for my cheeks. And what's great is that I can do this with just about every makeup look. It's neutral enough to go with everything. I've been doing this look everyday for a couple weeks and I am really loving it. It looks great as an eyeshadow also. It just gives me the perfect glow and wakes up and brightens my whole face without using alot. (For reference I have medium brown skin with a golden undertone. I wear MAC NW43 foundation and NC45 concealer.)
