I dont review half of my makeup items cos i find them kinda…boring to review..I mean how exciting can swatching and writing about a powder be? But, MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder was one of my first ever products from MAC and it was sitting in my pretty little golden makeup pouch feeling neglected and throwing tantrums for not getting any attention .(I know it was throwing tantrums because yesterday it flipped open inside the pouch and created a little mess) . Im sorry powder, this post is dedicated to you.

This is what i like about MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder
Mac Pressed Powder
Majority of the time I find it's around NC35, NC40, NC42, NC43, NC44 or NC45 I feel most Bollywood actresses mention MACs Studio Fix powder foundation. I think a few mention NC40- NC43, I know for sure Priyanka Chopra uses NC43.

Jan 13, 2014 Cons of Mac Blot Powder: Tad expensive. Provides no coverage. Stay put for maximum 4-5 hours, after that you need to re-apply it. Price: Rs.1,650/-Recommendation: For a pulled together, shine-free and matte look the Mac Pressed Blot Powder is a sure fire winner. However if you are on the look0ut for something that adds coverage, you shall be dissapointed as this is a sheer powder! 5.0 out of 5 stars Buz. September 24, 2012. Verified Purchase. I have very oily skin and after just a few hours my facce is very shiny. But not with the MAC Blot Pressed Powder. It is wonderful, but best when put on with the applicator that it comes with. Using a powder brush does not work as well. The MAC Next to Nothing Pressed Powder is the latest addition to MAC’s huge offering of powder products. The packaging of these pressed powders are those typical MAC pressed powders, round black hard case which mentioned the shade name at the back. This pressed powder comes with a thin puff.
- Good, solid coverage- covers up everything that your foundation wouldnt.
- Doesnt look cakey or artificial AT ALL. Finding a powder with heavy coverage AND non cakiness is difficult
- The puff that comes with it is – amazing. I mean you would think how good can a puff be right? Wrong. It is sturdy and very thick so even after a year and a half of usage , it has held up . (Take note Lakme Perfect radiance)
- The finish is matte but not starkly matte . Yknow, your skin is still left with a nice dewy moist looking feeling instead of like a completely dry matte look
What i dont like about MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder
- This isnt really the best match for my colour. (partly because at the time i had no idea im an NC and not an NW). But i just find that MAC skin shades are not really the best match for indian skin.
Best Pressed Setting Powder
Overall Verdict: 4/5 Price: Rs 1250/- Will i Repurchase: No. For two reasons, one- i can put in another couple of hundred and just get the mineralized skin finish. Second- this has lasted me more than a year..almost two. I really dont need to repurchase. Recommendation: If you love all things MAC, then Select Sheer Pressed Powder will definitely not dissapoint. Its a great powder , with solid coverage and a light non cakey feel. |
