MAC Soft and Gentle

In the winter skin can look extra dry and dull because of the cool air. To keep the fresh glowing skin look I like to use highlighters to add that glow back to the face. I recently picked up MAC's Soft and Gentle to add to my highlighter collection.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle comes in a sleek black compact with a clear plastic lid and the logo and product name embossed on the top. On the bottom is a small label indicating the color and product type.

As you can see Soft and Gentle is very shimmery and is a light pink with darker pink veining throughout. The product is gorgeous to look at in the pan!

On the left is a concentrated swatch and on the right is a blended out swatch of Soft and Gentle. Soft and Gentle is a finely milled powder that just leaves a  subtle glow to the skin. When blended out the pink color disappears and turns to more of a shimmery nude.

Overall I'm really pleased with my purchase. I had been wanting this product for years I just never thought that I needed it. I love that this powder is super fine because it won't leave any chunks of glitter or sparkle on the skin. In terms of application the product went on really smooth and blended out easily. I also use this product as an eyeshadow whether its all over the lid, an inner corner highlight or a brow bone highlight! Very versatile.
