We asked real women with different skin types to wear-test MAC Mineralize Foundation for one week. From dry to oily to combination and sensitive skin, here’s their verdict on finish, coverage, and long-wear performance.
Dry Skin: Hydration & Glow
“My skin felt instantly hydrated,” says Emma (47). The silky formula blended seamlessly without clinging to dry patches. She noticed a dewy, luminous finish that lasted throughout the day—no need for midday touch-ups.
Oily Skin: Shine Control
Ava (29) with oily skin tested Mineralize daily and reports “exceptional mattifying power.” The foundation settled into a soft matte finish and kept shine at bay for eight hours, even in humid conditions.
Combination Skin: Balanced Coverage
Sofia (35) appreciated the buildable coverage—medium at first, and she layered for fuller coverage on areas of redness. The T-zone stayed matte while cheeks retained a subtle glow, striking the perfect balance.
Sensitive Skin: Comfort & Wearability
No irritation, no redness—only comfort. Julie (42) has sensitive skin prone to redness; Mineralize felt weightless and she experienced zero reactions. The gentle mineral pigments offered evening of tone with a soft, natural finish.
Final Verdict
MAC Mineralize Foundation impressed testers across all skin types. Whether you crave a dewy glow or a soft matte finish, this versatile formula delivers lasting, comfortable coverage. Highest marks for hydration, shine control, and skin-friendly wearability.
