MAC BLUSH COLLECTiON

I am a serious blush fanatic and I may have own blushes that will last me a lifetime and the next. I have several blushes from different brands whether it's high street or not. Whilst looking in my blush collection, I did notice that amongst all the different brands, the one brand in which I got several blushes is MAC. The reason behind it probably is that MAC has a wide range of shades to offer and its price sits inbetween drugstore and high-end. You might find it strange that I have it in individual pan instead of a palette. To be honest, when I started buying these blushes, I didn't expect it would reach to this number although I still don't have an extensive collection. I also prefer carrying one at a time or two when I am travelling instead of hauling an entire palette. Just one of Ella's logic.

MELBA- This is my first Mac blush and I still love it as much as I first got it. It has a matte finish and has warm undertones. It is medium brown peach and it is one of those blushes that looks natural on the cheeks. As it has a brown-y tinge to it, I usually use it as a contour and blush in one go. It is also pigmented and not chalky. Melba is a permanent shade from Mac which is great as I know I can get another one easily if I run out. Melba is great if you are looking for blush that is not overpowering yet still gives that hint of colour. Mac Melba Powder Blush £18.50

FLEUR POWER- Fleur Power has a satin finish and is describe by Mac as soft coral pink. You can probably tell by now that I am a fanatic of peach-y or coral-y blushes as I find that it compliments my skintone quiet well. Fleur Power has warm undertones and I can best describe it as neutral, medium pink. As it has satin finish, it has a very subtle sheen to it which just adds a bit of glow. The sheen is almost unnoticeable to be quiet honest and the finish looks matte from afar. Mac Fleur Power Powder Blush £18.50

GiNGERLY- Probably my favourite Mac blush of all time. Gingerly has a sheertone finish which means that it can go sheer and you can built it up in which you really need with Gingerly. Gingerly is also a warmtoned blush and is neutral peach-y shade. It almost looks like Melba but Melba has more pink tinged to it. Gingerly is great for contouring whilst still giving hints of peach on the cheeks. It just looks great when you are wearing a bold lip or a serious smokey eyes and you want the rest of your face to be neutral. Mac Gingerly Powder Blush £18.50



Taken with Natural Lights

SPRiNGSHEEN- has a sheertone shimmer finish. It has the same finish as the sheertone blushes from Mac but with very small shimmers added into it. This is very similar to Nars Orgasm which is also one of my favourite all-time blushes. Springsheen has warm undertones and is a very pretty pinky-coral shade with frosted shimmers on it. It is also a permanent shade and the shimmers are not very obvious on the skin when blend properly. Mac Springsheen Powder Blush £18.50

AT DUSK- Mac At Dusk is an Extra Dimension Blush and unfortunately a limited edition shade. It has a pearl-y finish and just looks really pretty when worn. At Dusk is pale, medium pink shade. Although it is pink, it is not overpowering and just compliments the skin. It almost looks neutral on me. The blush also has a very pretty pattern but it is obviously gone now. I am even scared to use it frequently as I might reach pan and can't get another one. It's pigmentation is good but since it is very pale on the pan, you have to built it up if your skintone leans on the medium side.

BRED FOR BEAUTY-Another limited edition shade is Bred for Beauty. It is the opposite of At Dusk as this is very bright and it looks scary on the pan. It is a bright fuchsia pink with blue undertones. It reminds me of Candy Yumyum lipstick even. This has a matte finish which is the appropriate finish for it in my opinion as it is already bright. Eventhough it is very bold on the pan, it is not as pigmented when applied which makes it good as it is very bright and I might end up looking like a clown. It starts as sheer and you can built it up according to your preferences. It needs proper blending to give a nice finish. To be honest, I am not very keen on this blush compared to other ones mentioned above.

So these are my Mac blush collection. What are your favourite Mac blushes?
