Any product by MAC with the word “Skinfinish” in its name becomes a favorite! When MAC introduced Extra Dimension Skinfinish back in the spring, I immediately fell in love with the beautiful metallic glow they delivered. Included in the MAC Glamour Daze collection for holiday, Whisper of Gilt and Superb also happen to be the two shades from the original launch that I felt were universally flattering.
