    After being traumatised by Petticoat's high sheen (not sure if it was just my product as mine had a lot of red veinings), I wasn't too keen on MAC's MSFs. However, when seeing By Candlelight in...

    I love MSF's, so I own this. But really, I rarely use it and I think of it as a typical champagne shimmery highlight. It's nothing that other highlighters won't do, and it's not very versatile...

    Three words: BROKE ME OUT. And badly too. I could not figure out why I had all these red bumps all over my face. This was the culprit. I am not willing to sacrifice my skin for this product. I find...

    This product is the first and only MSF I purchased from MAC so far. I found I really love the product. For me, it is definitely an HG item. The color creates a pretty subtle glow on my cheeks...

    I just got it without seeing it in person. I asked on the board a couple of times and ppl said it has no colour. I was expecting a colour-less shiny highlighter, perhaps a little like champagne but...

    This is a really great product. In the pan it looks pinky/champagne, but when you swatch it, it has a peachy/pink sheen to it. It does not have chunky glitter, it has a very fine shimmer to it. The...

    Out of all of the MSF I own I reach for this the most. It gives my NC20-ish skin the best "glow" without being super-shimmery. Reminds me a lot of Guerlain Meteorites. If you get a chance to get...

    I really love "By Candlelight" Mineralize Skinfinish! It gives a really soft sheen to the cheeks, but for me it is too pink for a highlight, so I use it as a blush. This is a great product if you...

    Very glad I got this, as it gives a very subtle, glowy sheen to my NC40, Asian skin. I use a very light hand, if I'm using it as a highlighter with Mac #187 brush on the tops of my cheekbones, and...

    I'm an NC15-20 with yellow undertones and this highlight is incredibly natural looking on me. It doesn't deposit any colour, just gives me a glowy radiance that looks like it comes from "within"...

    I hesitated between rating this a 4 or a 5. I'd say right in the middle. This is a beautiful champagne-pink. It looks gorgeous as a highlight on darker toned skin and this also looks gorgeous...
