I know I am late to the party but I wanted to share my thoughts and review on MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralized Skin Finish.
I will be the first to admit that MAC was never my first makeup brand choice originally – I like the packaging and I liked the idea but I hadn’t quite found the product that made me want to try anything else. Till this product.
The MAC Mineralized Skin finish in Soft & Gentle is a cult classic. It has been majorly hyped for so many year and I was always hesitant to give in to the hype, like most products to be honest.
It is a baked highlighter in a peachy champagne tone and I think it would suit most skin tones apart from very very fair and has a lovely sheen rather than a glittery chunky mess.
I would describe my skin as NW15 so if you’re lighter than that then this might be a smidge too dark for you.
The packaging is not my favourite MAC packaging I have used but it’s practical. The closure is magnetic rather than a clip or snap shut.
I use this on the tops of my ‘cheek bones’ (I don’t really have any but if I did, where they might be), the tip of my nose and on my cupids bow and it always looks flawless.
All in all I have been completely blown away by this product and I am so glad I did eventually give in to the hype (5 years too late). It definitely spurred me on to buy more from MAC and so far I am trying more and more things that I really enjoy.
I would definitely put this down as a product from MAC you should try at least once, even if you weren’t a fan of MAC. Soft & Gentle really is a smooth entry level product that will leave you wanting more.
Have you tried this product? Fancy getting your hands on Soft & Gentle?
I’ve never tried this product before, but it does look really good
Not tried this, but looks lovely. Mac isn’t my first choice either despite many friends raving about them. Not tried much but never been hugely impressed x
I’ve got this and use it on the daily. My other holy grail mac product is their lipstick in whirl!
I do have this after wanting it for ever so long but I must say I’m not a massive fan of it- it suits me better when I have a tan (you’re very right about it being fairly dark). More often I’ll reach for my cheap MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter! £2! Xx
I have only used a few MAC items but they have all been quality.
Ooh! I’ve been using the ‘Natural’ version of this for a few years now, but I love this finish 😮 I’ll just be popping this on my shopping list 😀
This sounds amazing! I haven’t tried that many MAC products but I have a feeling I may need to try this…
I have not tried this before but it does sound great! I think I need to treat myself
That product looks beautiful. Admittedly I do think MAC is overrated, but they do have some great products.
I have never tried this before! The colour looks amazing!!!!

I haven’t given into the hype of this yet, to be honest other than some lipsticks and an eyeshadow palette I don’t own a huge amount of mac products x
I do at least know who MAC are though I have never seen this being used at home!
I have used Mac products in the past but I have not tried this one.
MAC always do such quality products. I love the shimmery look of this one – will have to check it out in store soon!
Omg that shade is gorgeous! To be fair, I haven’t heard of this so I guess I’ve even more behind on all the hype :’)

I’ve never tried a Mac highlight but I may treat myself to this is looks fab! #LeahXLUD
I’m sure I had this years ago! Time to repurchase I think! #LeahXLUD
Such a great product.
