MAC Heavenly Creature Mineralize Skinfinish in Star Wonder

MAC Heavenly Creature Mineralize Skinfinish in Star Wonder

Heavenly Creature collection features four mineralize skinfinish shades: Light Year, Center of the Universe, Star Wonder and Earthshine. All limited edition.

May I start by saying how much I love MAC mineral skinsfinish products. They look gorgeous on skin, they usually last forever, the smell is addictive (for me anyway) and so on. The only ‘downside’ is that they have no brush included with the product, which would be ideal to make this product bag friendly...
Star Wonder is a shimmery golden pink with plum undertones. In the sun light there is some peach as well. Another gorgeous product from the Heavenly Creature Collection that I absolutely adore. The colour is very pretty and flattering.

Star Wonder is very easy to apply; it goes on beautifully and without any trouble. The texture is soft and smooth (that’s what I love about all mineralized products), it’s easily buildable and it is not too over the top, just a perfect, slightly shimmery beautiful shade of pink ideal for your cheeks. Yes, it does emphasise the pores on my face a bit, but then – it is so worth it! Again, you only need a small amount of product to fully cover your both cheeks. That's what I love about mineralize skinfinish products as well, you only need a little and that's why they last you for ages. I like the fact that it is not that intense like some of their blushers and it is more suitable for a day/ office wear.
The finish is frosty / shimmery (but not too over the top) and it looks lovely on the cheeks. The lasting power without a foundation underneath is: after about 8 hours (in the office environment, no exposure to the outside world) it only faded slightly so it performed better on my skin than Light Year. But then again, the lasting results depend on what you use on your skin before applying the skinfinish. Overall, I think I am quite impressed with this product and I have been using it since I got it.

Similar shades: again, there is not anything quite similar to Star Wonder that I own, the only two products that are similar are: Nars Blush in Orgasm but it is pinker and peachier and less intense; and Sleek Makeup Blush in Rose Gold but only when swatched with a light hand and it is more orange than Star Wonder.
That only justifies my purchase: I haven’t got anything THAT similar and it probably is not easily dupable. Totally recommend it. A.
