Your videos are SO informative and your voice is seriously delightful. Like a big ol' cup of chamomile tea.
Haha! #tensiontamer
Im so glad I wasn’t alone in HATING the new compacts for the mineralize skinfinishes. They are so heavy, clunky and just too much packaging. I also agree that I hate that you can’t see the colours. Made my life so much more difficult doing jobs because I have every shade and sometimes doubles of my favourites like give me sun, so I have to open or look at the bottoms of every single one till I find the one I need!
I haven't seen a beauty video in a long time that I like as much as this one! Thank you. So informative. You rock.
Many thanks for the breakdown of these powders as well as your honest opinion of them! 😘
💖💕
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this video! I work for Mac and have studied all of these powders, yet I still find these videos so helpful!
Aw thanks! I always enjoy hearing that from MAC employees! I try to provide one person's candid thoughts on EVERYTHING in a range of products! And I try to not pay too much attention to how the products are promoted, it's more about how I have personally found them to work.
When I say my heart got all warm and fuzzy when I saw a new video from you! Great video as always!
Haha thank you! xoxo
Finally!! I think I've been waiting for this since I discovered your guide to MAC foundations waaaaaaaayyyy back when ;) ;) SO appreciate your dedication and hard work on this vid! Love the insight
Thanks for waiting! Glad you liked it! I have wanted to update that old foundation video but they change foundations SO often that I have thought I might just do individual foundation reviews instead. Still pondering.
Well now I'm conflicted - I DEFINITELY would love and appreciate a new MAC foundation guide, but the old one seems special and basically vintage at this point. Maybe a new one 1x/yr talking through new releases & updated formulas?
I'm not here for the powders, I'm here just to listen to Dustin speak
Haha! I need to keep that in mind and upload some more bedtime stories huh? Haha
+Dustin Hunter Yes! Bedtime stories. I'll make cookies.
I'll keep the warm milk on my bedside :)
Fantastic!!! I'm dry like the desert ... and I own several of these but nothing beats the Studio Fix... Love it for everything from coverage to how it feels and doesn't look! 💞
xXxXxCGPBxXxXx Thank You!
Such a good video dusty very informative. You put a lot of work in your videos
1- like that you go straight to the point.
2- so natural and real.
3- your voice ❤ soothing as weed 😂😊
"MAC says something something.. something stupid" LOLs! Love you! Great video :)
I missed you Dustin! Ejjoy so much your reviews! I have very oily skin and found the set loose powder makes me and keeps me matte trough the warm days, I love it!
Thank you for an honest review. I have grown so tired of all the "infomercials" that are on youtube. I've unsubscribed to so many "gurus" this past week because I am not a fan of the new QVC format of product reviews.
I didn't know Mac had so many powders. This was very informative, and you have always been fun to watch and great to listen to. Love you!
💖💖💖💖
Thank you! 😌
I love your videos. the details, the effort you give, the soothing sound of your voice, most of all your awesomeness. wish I could "like" more than once!
Thank you!!
Ahh I love these videos, they are so helpful. Thank you! 😄
I love all your videos and your sense of humour! Thanks for making such a comprehensive video :)
Thanks so much!!!!
Amazing video idea :) very thorough. Dustin, you are amazing. Thank you for this!
Thank you! You are most welcome!
I love your videos! I like when you talk about mac products.
I've never tried MAC powders. I'm kind of stuck on stuff from other companies myself, but this was a fascinating video. I always knew there were lots of different types of powders, but you touched on some I have never heard of.
Ohhh what a treat ❤️❤️❤️ you uploaded an amazing video on my birthday 🎉🎉
Happy Birthday!!! 💃🏻✨
Thanks for this awfullly informative vide regarding the MAC powders. Loved it
Love your MAC product vids!
I have super oily skin, I love studio fix for the summer. I use it with a damp beauty blender and it gives me a few extra hours before I need to touch up. I also love that I never need to worry about getting hard pan when I do used my beauty blender, it never changes the texture. I also have the mineralized loose foundation powder, I've never really liked it, but now I'm going to try it wet and mixed with moisturizer and see if that's better.
You're such an inspiring person with so many talents! I just love your videos. :)
Yessss a new video on my birthday! I love that you mentioned the beauty powders! I'm NC20 with dry skin in winter, and normal to dry skin in summer. I have the shade Alpha Girl (from MAC is Beauty collection). I bought it because the sales assistant told me that the Beauty Powders have more product than a MAC Powder Blush, and the Alpha Girl was a perfect blush shade for me.
I didn't know what to do with it in the first place, since it is a peachy pink sheer powder, and I found out two main uses:
1) As a blush, and I take a dense kabuki brush to swirl on the powder a few times and deposit on my cheeks, gives a super natural flush and very blendable even with a lot of product.
2) Blending with another blush. Sometimes I might have a deep/sharp colour (e.g. theBalm Swiss Dot) that lacks pink tones or too deep, I use Beauty Powder after I apply my first blush and just use a blush brush to apply the Beauty Powder to blend with it, works really well.
Nice! Thank you for sharing your tips and experience with Beauty Powders! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you have a great day! ⭐️✨
thank you so much for taking the time to breakdown all Mac powders, i like your style, appreciate your expertise😉
Thank you! And you are most welcome ⭐️✨
I love the Hourglass Ambient powders for setting powders. They leave your skin FLAWLESS.
Your voice is so soothing. Very informative review.
Your voice is so soothing. This is like asmr for me 🙆💚
If I had a nickel... seriously! Hehe thank you!
This was amazingly helpful. I recently started working at MAC after desperately wanting to for a decade but being too self conscious to apply. Now that I'm in, I've been terrified to do applications because I was not sure what each product is supposed to do, is best suited to which skin type, etc. I've been a customer at MAC for many, many years.. but mostly my love has been the coloured products like lipsticks and eyeshadows. Hence why I'm sitting here on my personal time doing product research on powders and foundations.. :P I took notes from your video. I think they will serve me well!
Thank you for this, you're always very comprehensive and I very much appreciate your no bullshit viewpoint 😊 I had no idea there were so many powders, I don't pay enough attention obviously.
Thank you!! This was really helpful and awesome. I really, really like MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, (I'm either Light or Light Plus depending on season etc) because it's quite neutral in undertone and I find it neutralises my foundation really well. I'm warm toned but I lean slightly neutral, and have neutral/cool coloured eyes and hair. It's insanely hard to find a foundation that matches my undertones, so I find sheer/colourless powder doesn't look right on me (or rather doesn't alter my foundation shade enough). MSFN also mattifies my normal to combination/oily skin well, without looking flat or velvety fake, and breaks down and wears nicely - it doesn't go patchy or dry or disappear unevenly. I rarely touch up, but I do find I can do it once and have it look nice, but more than one touch up does tend to cake. I also use the MSFN in Give Me Sun! which is really nice for imitating the warmth my neck and shoulders gain in summer. I'm now really interested in the Bronzing Powder in Golden though...!
I could listen to you talk forever. Such a character
Very informative video. I love MAC powders so much. Pretty much all of them. My faves are Studio Fix, Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (and the highlighters!) and Blot which is freaking amazing for oily skin cuz it has no coverage and you can blot all day without going cakey.
Oh and I HATE the new Mineralize line packaging!!!!! Damn. I have 3 backups of the powder, 1 backup for Soft&gentle, Lightscapade and Gold deposit lololol
Awesome video, thank you! I have oily skin and I LOVE the studio fix powder foundation which I spritz with fix+ after application for a more skin like and natural finish, otherwise it becomes a bit too matte.
WOW thank you! I didn't realize they had this many. I have a few MAC ones and am now using a whitish hourglass powder called dim light.
I love your videos @thedustinhunter!!! They are serious staples in my makeup knowledge!
Thank you!!! So glad to hear that! xo
+Dustin Hunter as a freelance MUA I have used so much of the information you put out to help shape my kit and some important decisions. You have been a major blessing in my life, I just want to take the opportunity to tell you how your effort and hard work bless me. Literally, I use yourself, petrilude, Lisa Eldridge and some of Mathis Allen's videos as reference points for makeup wisdom and passion! Good job sir!
+Dustin Hunter so bottom line, thank you so very much!
MAC makes it so hard to understand what products they have and what they are for...the shopping experience is so overwhelming and these kind of videos really help
Thanks for all the info! Really appreciate this.
I like very few powders from MAC (e.g emphasize) but I really enjoyed this overview. A powder that I find decent but as you said for a simple setting powder is the pink prep and prime one in the compact. Nice to carry it around too.
Yay! Glad you have one you like! ❤️
Such an informative video! thank you for posting this!! so happy i came across your youtube :-D
excellent video! hope you share more knowledge such as this. thanks!
Thank you very informative. Is it possible for you review the RCMA no color power and how it compares to more expensive setting powders.
So so so helpful!! Best on youtube
You are simply awesome! Love your voice!!!
Saved in my favourites! ...Thank you for your time & knowledge
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
hi, u make awesome videos. very informative n upto the point.i hv watched many videos on mac prod reviews but i shd say urs iz d best one. really appreciate the research dat u do b4 filming ur videos. thanks for making the videos.
also wanted to knw ur opinion, according to you which iz d best mac pressed powder dat can b used on mac studio sculpt foundation.
Thank you for this video! It helped me decide if what I was using was what I needed :)
Thanks for the info! I have avoided Mac powders to many options. This helps
Trust me, it was confusing to me as well! I'm working on a video overview of their Prep + Prime range of produces as well... talk about confusing and too many options! Thank you!!!
Sooooooo helpful! Thank you!
I have oily skin and live in the hot humid Caribbean. The Studio Fix powder is a big seller here. I love it as a foundation. I totally agree with about the Bronzer powders. I use Refined Golden as an eyeshadow very often and am always amazed at how easy it is to apply and not look like too much.
Excellent video as per usual 😍😍😍😍
Oh and I really enjoyed the Studio Careblend powder although I have oily skin but now it's discontinued in local stores 😩
Nice! Good tips with the bronzer too! xo
I really like their Blot powders. I'm not nearly as oily as I used to be, but still need a touch up mid-day. I continually repurchase and am on my fourth one. I'm NC45 and use the Dark shade.
It is so nice to hear someone else hates and thinks the Select Powders and stupid and horrible powders. I couldn't agree more with the fact that they are too hard and no powder is picked up on a brush and that oils deposit into the powder from a brush and create a film. I love your review of this powder and wish it wasn't in production anymore either!
Ugh! It's the worst! One person commented and said using a stiff brush helped... if you're still trying to get through one of them 😉
sooooooooooo after this video, i think my next purchase will be studio fix and beauty powder ;) thank you , amazing video !
Studio Fix is a fantastic product really - it's one of those things that everyone should get at least once!
Thanks for the overview. It's very helpful!
You are most welcome! Glad it's helpful!
Thank u for the video....i looked everywhr for this info x
Awesome! You are most welcome! I'm glad it was helpful information!
Hi DUSTIN this is my first Time i am watching your video.
You are way too good to explain everything so clear. I love it.
Please also make a video about drugstore makeup powders.
Also there are lot of videos about Mac dupes or other high end product’s dupes. Is that true we can use a dupe and it can give a same result as high end products??? Please if you also believe in this. Please let everyone knows.
I do trust Mac products a lot i believe these are worth buying so is there really a dupe of MAC even or people just lies.
The Studio Sculp I agree it is a little hard to get on the brush. But I use a dense brush to help me pick up the product . I do like it, specially for bronzing and illuminating.
Thank was awesome. I have been overwhelmed with MACs powders for a long time. i don't live near a counter and their website frankly sucks. I love MAC so thanks for helping a girl figure out what powder is what. I do use Studiofix a lot as a foundation and a powder. I have pretty normal skin now that I have figured out a good moisturizing regime but normally I tend to be on the dry side. Love you.
WHY?! Why does their website suck SO much?!! It's horrible isn't it?! They redesigned that thing like a year ago and it still doesn't work! Editing - or even viewing - your shopping cart rarely works, products so up and then disappear constantly, it's just a piece of crap. Blerg!
+Dustin Hunter Before they redid it I couldn't even see the freaking products on the black background. But that as the only thing that improved. Now you go to the New products dropdown nightmare and it keeps clicking on one of them and then you can only get to the beginning again by clicking "new products" at the top. Idk...in the social medial beauty age they are going to have to step up and improve their online presence because we don't all have access to a counter. I used to at my sisters but since my daughter came out she isn't talking to me....WTF is that? I am not sure it is true but it seems to be a weird coincidence...
Thank you for the video! I only use blot medium dark and works great for my oily skin. Wish they had it in the loose powder.
They used to have it in different colors, don't know why it's just the one now. Might as well just get rid of it if you only have it in one color!
Your videos are so helpful. I only own one of the powdered you spoke about (Lightscapade), so this is so useful. I'll probably need to grab some blot powder for the summer.
It's my go-to pressed powder. What are your favorites? I wonder if that would make an interesting video... favorite setting powders... too boring? LoL
The pressed powder I am currently using is the NYX Transparent Blotting Powder for when I want a more satin/matte look, and when I am going for a clean skin look I opt for the NARS Light Reflecting powder. I haven't found a pressed one I am totally in love with. I use the Ethereal Light Ambient lighting Powder by Hourglass, and it's is lovely, but it works better as a finishing powder than a setting powder, so I don't reach for it for touch ups. For general setting and not pressed the RCMA No color Powder has been my go to for years, but it's not handbag friendly.
I would watch a video on setting powders! Any video comparing products is so useful.
+RebeccaShoresMUA Interesting! It also brings up a topic that could be fun as well and that's "set" powders vs "finish" powders. I tend to use them interchangeably on myself but my skin is so dry it doesn't notice LoL! I use the Hourglass Ambient powders as setting powders on me for example... well sort of LoL I rarely powder my face because anyway because it always seems that most foundations turn matte on their own after a couple minutes on my skin Haha
AWESOME!
shout out on that Prince guitar in the back lol
Hey, I love your mac guides they are very helpful and informative, can u do one for mac primers?
we love you Dusty 💗💗
Hehe thank you xo
You are so nice to listen to.
I just love these videos
Thanks bub! xo
I loved this video. It helped me a lot with my Mac powder choices. Thank you very much. I miss your videos!
Thank you! I uploaded just two week ago I think? I have been uploading fairly regularly - I have never been one to do a video a week or anything though, it's happened before but it's rare when it does! Ha
I love when you do these! :) Can you do one for Make Up For Ever or Lancome?
I'd love to do more for other brands! It just takes time to buy all of the products so it's a commitment! Hehe
Dustin, you're my favourite.
💖💕
Careblend is my favourite (even though i have combination skin)! MSF used to break me out in tiny little bumps every single time I used it (must be the ISOPROPYL PALMITATE that's in it because that ingredient is often listed as comedogenic).
I also love the macigally cool loose powder in the summer but that's easy to overapply because of the nice fresh feeling when you're using it so I use the 187 stippling brush and I TRY to be careful and mindful, ha ha!
Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge once again xx Valentina
I have Magically Cool in a couple shades and I enjoy it too - Estée Lauder Japan still makes it - I couldn't find it anywhere on MAC's website so I assume it's long gone from this world! 😒
+Dustin Hunter we're gonna have to hold on tight to those last jars 😭
So informative and fun!
💖💕💖💕
Great video as usual! Studio fix is one of my staples as powder foundation. I would love a video comparing different powder foundations. I've tried a few, but so far nothing beats mac. I would love to hear your thoughts and maybe try something new. Thanks!
I have a very old video comparing all of MACs different foundations but many of those are discontinued and new ones are available that aren't in the video. I love doing videos like that - I'm a foundation junkie - but they are so often discontinued that it's hard to do an overview without it being irrelevant within a week or two of uploading! LoL!
+Dustin Hunter yeah I totally get that. I know so much work goes into these videos. you make it look easy, which is the sign of an expert.
Mac also has a collection called lightful!!
You should review them!
I love you for this.
💖💕
Thank you thank you thank you. Great video! And your are wonderfully hilarious!
Haha thank YOU and you're welcome 😘
The Studio Fix Powder in Shivering White is still available at Pro Stores only! Love to c a new Video from u... xoxo from Orlando!
Thank you! Is it actually still being made tho? MAC is always ambiguous about these things... stores may still be getting stock burnt might be gone, it might not. Awhile back they took Vellum eyeshadow off the site but it's still in Pro stores. Doesn't make any sense - I think it's just a mistake they haven't fixed yet. How's Orlando? ❤️
After the first time I watched your video, I got the close to nothing powde, and tried it out for like 2 months: I love it. I took the dark tone to warm up my face as a contour and bronzer. I love it! I have a yellow undertone. I am coming back to your video because I need a powder to set my under eyes, and I am thinking of getting the close to nothing one to set my under eyes. But I am afraid that it wouldn't match my skin tone since they don't have a wide variety of shades in this one. I don't like translucent setting powders because even the yellow ones become greyish on me. What do you think I should get ? I wear an NC42 in Mac studio fluid, and a C5 in face and body fluid. I don't want to highlight my undereyes, hate that look (also because no one needs to highlight eye bags). I just want a powder that adds a little bit of coverage under my eyes, sets the concealer in place, and matches my skin tone to perfection.
thumps up before watching!!!
😀😀
Haha! Yes! 💖💖💖
I wish that you upload more often lov u Dustin
Me too! Haha videos take a lot of time and money so I've often been a "once a month" kind of guy. Sometimes more but that's what I aim for.
Studio fix powder is my go to, for years. Oily tzone. I like that it's just so easy when I'm lazy. I use it to blend out my shadows too.
Yes! Great idea! I've used it as a brow bone/highlight color before. Wonderful texture and coverage. Everyone should have it even its just to play around with it once in your life! x
amazing! love you!
Thank you! Happy you like this!
You are so funny and charming and knowledgeable. Please do more videos!
Great video. But i still don't know what to buy. I have an oily t zone and i want a natural finish powder( doesn't matter if it's colored or translucent) to control my oils. I want a matt, but not drying product. Can you help me choose one?
Very Informative!! ;-)
I heart u! Can I ask which MAC powder foundation you would say is close to smashbox HALO hydrating powder foundation?
Special K 30 I've never tried that one so I can't say but MAC really only makes one or two powder foundations. Most of these are setting powders and won't give any real coverage over bare skin.
THANKS HON!!
I have never payed attention to MAC powders! I think I never even tried any of them, except for the MSF in soft and gentle, because after reading lots of raving reviews on it I ended up getting it, and I haven't used it (only swatched) because I find the shimmer/glitter particles are too noticeable. Overall I have about 6 highlighters (let's see...MSF in soft&gentle, Benefit high beam, burberry fresh glow?, lush feeling younger, Nars albatross, a MAC cream color base and Kevin Aucoin candlelight) and I think soft&gentle is the one I like the least. I have dry and fair skin, and I seek a glow-from-within effect to use in my everyday day-time look, and out of these what I really enjoy using is the KA highlighter
The MAC MSF powders are currently the closest thing they have to everyone else's powder highlighters - I've seen images surfacing online if a new product launching from them tho - I don't know if it will be permanent but it's a powder highlighter. I have zero information on it but it exists! LoL! I have fair and dry skin as well and because of that I prefer to highlight with a cream or liquid product that has a lot of clear glossiness to it. Powders just look blah on me. A few drops of oil rubbed into my palms and pressed into the high points of the face does he trick!
I wish they would give the compact powders new limited edition designs. I love the black plain compact but switch it up, I would also make some glitter compacts as well. Try something new and fantastic. I love the Blot pressed Powder & Careblend pressed powder.
Another excellent comprehensive product review, thanks! One request: could you please add the list of products in the info bar, in the order in which you review them? Thanks again.
Ugh! FINE! LoL! I actually thought about it but this video in particular was flipping me shit and I had to upload it three times before it worked so by the time it did go live I didn't want to look at it anymore and I was just hoping nobody would ask. Haha! I'll take a look at it and see if I can add a list with time stamps. I prefer it that way myself... I just wanted to be lazy 😂😉
Thanks! I keep staying away from Mac products (meh quality, overpriced...) but your reviews are always balanced, plus I have the same skin type as you. Hence this request. Happy Sunday from sunny Ireland!
"something something something Stupid"... lol luv
do Mac studio fix powder foundation cause breakouts???
Only at 1:17 in & already subbed... And my sub list on UA-cam is like my DVR lol I don't sub to just anyone for the hell of it lol!!
Dustin! I don't know if the white Studio Fix Powder has a different name than it currently is now, but Mac has a "Studio Fix Pastels" in Shivering White that is a white Studio Fix powder.
Yup! This has been discussed a few times in the comments section LoL It wasn't there when I filmed the video, now it's back. It was also off the site awhile back and then put back on again too... they don't know what they are doing LoL
Does the MSF Natural leave a satin or pearlescent finish? I'm looking for a non-matte finishing powder because I find it makes my face look dead...
Also, while Studio Fix has really amazing instant coverage, it's almost impossible to find a shade which works with my medium tone, yellow undertone shades, as the Studio Fixes have a red undertone.
And all these powders are still available :)
I find that MSF Natural leaves a really nice almost-matte-but-not-quite finish, when I use other powders I get annoyed that they look flat and powdery, or super velvety (and fake) whereas MSFN just pulls my complexion together without looking too "done".
What is the meaning of life, though, Dusty? ;) Thanks for the review. I learned that I only really need to try Blot pressed for my needs/likes :)
I love the sound of the Pro Longwear powder, but i'm NC15 so would I be light or light plus in powder?
Amy Oram I would think Light would work best. You can also chat with a MAC consultant on their website and ask them just to verify but I would recommend Light over Light Plus.
I love the Mineralize Skin Finish Natural for my Brides.
Thanks for this video. Does the mac prep n prime translucent powder work well on darker skin?
On darker skin tones it's possible to get a "cloudy" appearance with the Translucent Powder if you use a fair amount (I've never found a translucent powder that doesn't do this if you use too much - some worse than others). The deeper Blot Powders or MSF Powders are both good alternatives.
+Dustin Hunter Thanks
