My MAC Blusher Collection

Hi guys :)

I thought I would do a post on my MAC blusher palettes. I don't really wear blusher on a daily basis but it's nice to have a few in my collection to use on other people or to use when i go out! I've tried to collect a good variety so that I will have at least one to suit every skin tone. I hope you enjoy :) 

#1 Style :

This blusher reminds me a lot of NARS 'Orgasm'. I would describe it as a peachy pink with gold shimmer. It is a frost finish. The shimmer is quite metallic and very obvious. I would use this lightly on the apple of the cheek and I think it would look really beautiful on tanned skin. 

#2 Springsheen :

This blush is a lot like Style, however, the base colour of Springsheen is a lot more sheer making this a better option for paler skin tones. It is a sheertone shimmer finish which I think makes the flecks of gold more noticeable than if it were a frost. I really like this blusher! 

#3 Sincere :

I love using this blusher to contour pale skin. It is the perfect taupe-brown shade without being to grey or orange. Sincere is a sheertone finish blush. This is definitely a great blusher to have in your makeup kit.. It's a good all rounder!

#4 Peaches : 

Left with flash....Right without flash

This is one of my favourite blushers from MAC! It is the perfect peach shade for almost all skin tones. It has more of a pink undertone rather than an orange. It is a sheertone finish blusher and it stays well on the cheeks. 

#5 Plum Foolery :

Left with flash....Right without flash

This blusher looks so gorgeous on darker skin. It's almost metallic purple in colour. It is a sheertone shimmer blush but it gives the skin almost a dewy look rather than a shimmery finish. I don't really like this on my skin (I'm very pale) but I reeeeally recommend it for dark skin!

#6 Harmony :

Left with flash....Right without flash

I love this blusher for contouring tanned skin or to warm up the face on paler skin. I use it like a bronzer more often than I use it as a blush. It is a matte finish and it looks great used as a blusher with smokey eyes and a nude or pink lip! I definitely recommend buying this blusher!

#7 Melba : 

Left with flash....Right without flash

Oh my goodness if you don't own this blusher go and buy it right now! This is my all time favourite MAC blusher and I just love it with every look. It has a matte finish and it comes off as like a muted pink colour. It blends really nicely and it doesn't look powdery on the skin. It suits almost every skin tone and it's amazing! I just any say enough good things! 

#8 Trace Gold : 

Left with flash....Right without flash

Trace Gold comes in a close second after Melba as my favourite blusher. It is so gorgeous used on the cheekbones as a highlighter/ blusher hybrid! I love using this with bronzed cheeks for a beautiful sun kissed glow. It looks lovely on pale skin but the darker the skin tone the more flattering this blush will be. This is definitely a must have! 

#9 Honey Jasmine : 

Left with flash....Right without flash

This blusher was limited edition with the "All About Orange" collection. It is a satin finish so it blends really well while still being quite opaque. I love that it has more of an orange undertone than most peachy colours. This is the only limited edition blusher that I keep it my palettes. I love it because it is such a unique colour.

#10 Pink Swoon : 

Left with flash....Right without flash

I love love love this blusher! It's a gorgeous candy pink colour.. Almost like Saint Germain in blush form. It is has a sheertone finish but I think it transfers really opaque. This is another great all rounder because it suits every skin tone. I would definitely repurchase this! 

#11 Well Dressed : 

Left with flash....Right without flash

This blusher only really works on pale skin in my opinion. It is very light but it gives a really nice finish and glow to pale skin. It is a satin finish blusher so it blends into the cheeks without sitting on the skin and looking powdery. It is like a dusty purple pink colour with a slight metallic finish. This is a great colour for a makeup kit! 

#12 Fleur Power : 

Left with flash....Right without flash

This blusher is very pigmented but still easy to work with. It is a true pink with a blue undertone. Fleur Power is a satin finish blusher which again makes it very blendable. This blusher really lets the natural oils in your skin shine through so it doesn't come off as looking cakey at all. I think this colour is quite unique so it's a good addition to my kit!
