Mac Mineralize Highlighter Review

I've found it! I've finally found it. THE perfect highlighter in the world (well so far). I've been testing out different highlighters that won't either wash me out or make me look too orange and I came across Mac Mineralize Skinfinish highlighter. The colour is named 'Soft & Gentle' and I have to say it's the perfect mix of peachy pink colours.



 You can buy this amazing highlight from Mac for around £24. It is definitely worth the money as it lasts a while and is super pigmented so you don't need a lot.


I apply this using a Mac 184 duo fibre fan brush to my cheek bones, tip of the nose, chin and forehead. Basically all the usual highlight places. It gives your a skin a soft dewy finish.

I swatched this so you can see above how beautiful and shimmery the highlight is. Let me know if you have any other amazing highlights as I'm always looking for new ones!

Mac BB Cream

A couple of months ago, I searched high and low for the perfect BB cream. I wanted one that had a decent coverage but also left my skin feeling soft. Seeing as the Broadway shopping center opened a few months ago, I ventured into there and they had a Mac stand within the Debenhams in the center. I had a browse and found they had their own Mac BB cream. I asked one of the store colleagues to do a demo for me with the product on my own face and I was surprised by the outcome.

It has a beautiful consistency and I tend to apply this with a Mac 193 Angled foundation brush. I then normally contour/highlight as usual afterwards just so my face doesn't look so plain. It really does make your skin look perfect and as I'm a natural redhead it also removes the slight redness I have in my face and a few of my freckles. I also wear this on holiday or when it's sunny as it has a SPF 35 in there as well. You can buy this from Mac stores or stands for around £25. The tube does last pretty long so it's a good investment.
