MAC Sonic Collection Mineralized Blush

Thursday August 28, 2008

No beloved readers, Studio Marie-Pierre is not turning into a MAC blog… I swear!  I’ve just come across some MAC products lately that I really like, and just wanted to share.

As you may know, I have a thing for rosy cheeks.  They bring some much to a person’s face, and a make-up application, no matter how simple, isn’t complete without it.  I do own a rather large collection of blushes and after reading on several makeup forums how much everyone enjoys MAC mineralized blushes from the Sonic Chic collection, YOU KNOW, I had to find out for myself.  Friends, I have no regrets!

If you’re into rich, vibrant colors these will without a doubt appeal to your senses, big time!  These blushes are silky and blend extremely well and the greatest pay off is the no-need  to reapply.  Nice.  The texture and pigments remind me of Nars Blushes.  The only downside with Nars, is mid day I always have to touch up.  Who has time?

I played with all the colors at the MAC store in Miami and purchased 2 out of the 9 shades available. My favorite is Gentle.  Described as a Raspberry with gold pearl, it’s gorgeous on darker skin like mine as well as on lighter skin.  Although, all the blushes from this collection contain a very fine shimmer, it doesn’t show up on your face once blended, and is totally safe for photography.  You won’t look greasy I promise.

GLEEFUL is described as a pink with gold.  On me it looks more orange with brown undertone. Very warm color.

These rockin’ blushes may be a tad intimidating.  They are extremely pigmented and to those of you who prefer a light touch of blush, I would recommend to use a fan brush.  They do blend easily though, and a softer look is not a problem.  So from poppin’ cheeks to romantic glow, all is possible depending on how your swing your brush! :-)
