If you are looking for a new blush ... get your bottom to the nearest MAC counter pronto to check out the 6 new Beauty Powders ! I was excited to see them, but not as excited as I should have been ... they are amazing!
MAC always does a great job with shadows and blushes, but these blushes are even better than their normal ones. Six little containers of blush heaven! OK, I admit it, I am 100% completely obsessed with blushes lately. And I cannot find the perfect shade. The Bobbi Brown Blue Raspberry came close, but it was a bit too pink for my skin ... I gave it to my sister who it looked fabulous on.
I tried the new L'Oreal pink blush it was pretty, but too light (even on a pasty girl like me), Benefit's Throbbb was OK, but not enough color payout. I was hoping the new MAC ones would be better ... and they were.
I chose True Romantic which MAC describes as a "mid-tone pink with silver pearl". I call it the best blush ever! With one sweep of the blush my skin (pasty white) was glowing the most glorious, natural blush I have ever seen. It looked like a color I would natural blush and was so soft and lovely. It was neither too timid in color, or over the top ... simply put - the best blush ever. Ever. This is definitely my Holy Grail of blushes and I am going to buy another one because they are limited editions.
I also chose Eversun a "neutral peach bronze with gold pearl". I call it the perfect bronzer for pale chicks. I have the worst time finding bronzers that aren't too orange or dark for my skin ... not anymore! Eversun made me look like I had been out in the garden all afternoon ... even though we still have a foot of snow here! If you are pale and having bronzer trouble, you will want to check out Eversun ... it is simply gorgeous.
I am regretting not getting Shy Beauty or Joyous but since I have to exchange something, I may just get one of them as well ... or both. I am that obsessed with these colors.
