Renewed love for MAC MSFs!
MSFs. For more than a year, I often ignored them. I rarely used them and often wondered why I ever bought them. But now, I’m feeling the love for MAC MSFs again — and I blame the blogger community for this! All the raves and the beautiful FOTDs featuring MSFs ‘made’ me revisit my MSF collection again. And I am very thankful. I have a bunch of them including the new ones and am now using them daily as part of my makeup routine. My favorites are By Candelight, Blonde and Redhead, which I use mainly as blushes or highlighters. I also love Sunny by Nature,Cheeky Bronze and Comfort as bronzers. I tend to veer away from the ones that are overly shimmery as they accentuate areas of my face I don’t necessarily want to draw attention to.
So I ask those of you who are MSF addicts, how do you use the product? Do you apply before or after your blush? Or do you wear it as blush? Why do you love them?

I got By Candlelight and it is my first MSF and I am in love! I stayed clear of them as I thought they wouldn't work on my oily skin but so far so good, had so many compliments about my glowing skin, I wish that colour was permanent!

I love them for their subtle colouring and making me glow! I use it as blush and a light bronzer all over the face.

I don't have an MSF yet! I have a few highlighters though. I think I may cave on an MSF soon…

I have one from MAC. I really like it and it makes the foundation look more natural and not cakey. I usually apply it before my blush.

I use my Comfort as my bronzer and a bit of contour, I use By Candlelight after my blush.
I heard the hype on MSF's forever and never picked one up until By Candlelight & Comfort came out recently, I have a few posts up showing me using them

I don't own any of them just the MSF mineralized skinfinish which I love using for touchup

You know, I have some MSFs that tend to go neglected too, and I've been thinking I need to give them more love!

I mostly use it as a blush. But the lighter shades I have, such as Porcelain Pink and Perfect Topping, I use as a highlighter and over blush.

i only have two (smooth merge and champagne) i use smooth merge as a blush which is like the blonde brunette red head MSF with three different colors.and then champagne is just a really shimmery champagne color that i use as a highlight and its gorgeous !
