Thanks for such a great insight for faking great skin, looks terrific. Love your blog, it’s the first thing I check out in any spare time I have between chasing my toddler around. I’m going to try these tips as need to fake getting sleep. I looked on link and mac website for the mac mineralize in semi precious pearl but can’t find it.

Hi Melinda,
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it comes in handy 🙂
I think the MAC mineralize in Semi Precious Pearl was a limited release, but I will ask the MAC PR department to come back with another shade suggestion for you!
Thanks,
Sigourney x
