About this deal

MAC has a solid blush range but some shades are harder than others to blend out or diffuse, and as it does for most formulas (from any brand), it really comes down to some shades falling shy of expectations. The matte finish had a tendency to darken on my skin within five minutes of application; for most shades, I would recommend applying over a powdered face and/or avoiding applying on still-drying complexion products to make blending the easiest. The matte shades seemed to be semi-opaque to opaque, buildable, and long-wearing (about eight hours). I like that I don’t have to worry too much about blending out the edges with it because it’s very well behaved and a cinch to apply (I usually use the swirl method with a couple of layers); great for mornings when I’m running late. Matter of fact, that’s what I did for these pics right before running out the door for lunch. Move over Helvetica… The color sings on a range of skin tones, from porcelain princesses (like Dita Von Teese, who says she loves it) to caramel cuties, and whenever I feel like wearing a soft, subdued pink, but either can’t find Blushbaby or want something a tad different, I grab Mocha. The great thing about Mocha is that it looks completely natural; you don’t have to carefully apply this blush, because it has such a gorgeous buildable colour that’s hard to overdo. As usual with my guides to the best MAC products, I’ll write about the best MAC blushes for medium skin, olive, Indian, Asian, and dark skin as well down the road.

Why send that heartfelt message to your friend in boring old Courier, Helvetica or Arial when you can say it and so much more with Llama Font instead? 🙂 Only a few of the shades in the permanent range seemed to be particularly frosted/metallic on the skin; most shades that had shimmer appeared more softly luminous or pearlescent on the skin to the point where there was little sheen/reflection captured by my camera (I did a double take for a few and re-did swatches only to find the same finish captured yet again!). The Sheertone Shimmer performed most consistently with this: very subtle sheen, more "my skin but better" with having a slightly more noticeable sheen than matte. There were a few shades that had a strong sheen on the skin (like Peachykeen), though. The Frost finish just seemed to have stronger, larger shimmer in it, but the effect on the skin ranged being subtle to moderate. The same was true with Satin--some were more satin-like and some seemed more like a Frost (like Modern Mandarin).Between Pinch Me, Blushbaby, Peaches, and the incredible MAC Mineralize blush range, I’m telling you about 16 great options today, as well as the undertones and what you could pair each specific blush with.

Highly pigmented, long-wearing power, radiant finish, natural looking, lightweight, blends easily, like all MAC blushes it takes a while to hit pan Cons It’s a medium-toned coral blush, but much, much more muted than the Peaches blush, which is, on the other hand, brighter and more suited for warm weather. MAC Mocha Blush is one of those shades you’ll bypass time and time again, until you’ve tried it once, and you’ll love the natural-looking, radiant effect it gives you.Your skin tone plays a vital role in selecting the right blush. If you have fair skin, opt for lighter shades such as pale pink, peach, plum, and baby pink. If you have a medium skin tone, go with slight enhancement such as rosy pink, apricot, berry, or deep peach. Deep plum and berry shades complement dusky/dark skin tones the best. Consider the Powder Blush in Fever for a regular reddish-burgundy flush on deep skin tones. The best option for natural-looking color on deep to medium complexion tones is the Powder Blush in Peaches. The Powder Blush in Melba’s delicate coral-peach shade is the best for medium to light skin tones.
