Finally: In Extra Dimension Skinfinish pics and swatches!

So, this is my last post about the limited edition In Extra Dimension collection from MAC, featuring the lovely stars of the show: SKINFINISHES!  I was lucky enough to get all three at my local MAC store since MAC was dragging in putting them all up online.  I must say I am extremely pleased with how smooth and buttery these are on the skin.  I believe most skintones can pull off all three shades and as a woman of color, I found none to be too light or silvery on my golden undertones.  I say try them first before ruling any shade out based on someone else's opinion, even if you share the same skintone.

These skinfinishes give you that glowing, lit-from-within look without being too shimmery.  These have more of a sheen which seems to just melt into your skin beautifully.  They are definitely worth a try if you have never tried an Extra Dimension skinfinish before or if you want a multi-tasking highlighter that has enough color to work as a blush. These retail for $30 and are available at www.maccosmetics.com, MAC stores and MAC counters in department stores.  Now, on to the pictures and swatches on my NC50 skin (sharing's ok as long as you credit the source).  Enjoy!

Don't be scared!  This looks amazing buffed into the skin, even my NC50 skin.

I think the bottom shade would make an amazing summer blush!
