Mac Blush Shy Angel Review

Hey ya'll! Today's review is on one of my first few highlight. It is the Mac blush in shy angel.
Obviously, this shade is too light and shimmery to be pulled off as a blush on me, so I use it as a highlight instead.


Selling in Mac at $35, 6g






This is a very subtle highlight with a pink undertone.


Here is the highlight swatched beside a few other highlights of the similar tone.

This is a very subtle and natural looking highlight as the sheen is not too intense.


Well, I don't think I hav much to say about this highlight as you can see it in action in the photo above. It provides the perfect from within glow which is in no way powdery or over the top.
Lasting power is decent and the shade is suitable for a light to tan skin tone. It pulls slightly pink but not in an obvious way hence making it look super natural as it blends into the skin.
Compared to another MAC holy Grail- Soft & Gentle, this is a lighter shade which is less powder and less 'pow' in your face.
Overall, if you are looking for a subtle and natural looking glow, this is one to try out!


Pros
-Very natural and subtle highlight
-Blends subtly into the skin
-Great for everyday use
-Not very powdery
-Finely milled powder 

Cons
-Not a glow in your face highlight


Yes
I think Mac does some pretty awesome highlight.

"A great sheer everyday highlight."

Mac Blush Melba (Matte) Review

Hey ya'll! Today's review will be on a Mac blush. Mac's blushes always has a lot of hype around them and people seem to love collecting them. This is my first Mac blush and I did plenty of research (as usual) before going in with the purchase.

The shade Melba is one of the most versatile shade which many recommended as a must have. So lets go into the review!

Selling at Mac Counters at $35, 6g

Matte Formula

Simple black sleek packaging 

Mac describes it as a soft coral -peach

When swatched beside Mac Peaches, Melba is a deeper coral-peach while Peaches is straight up peachy.
Additionally, Peaches feels softer in the pan as compared to Melba.


Here is another side by side pan comparison.

Here is how it looks on me. It gives a really subtle blush of colour to the cheeks.

I really enjoy using this when I do smokier eye looks. I think it gives the skin a subtle flush that is so pretty. However as the powder is pressed pretty hard into the pan, it was slightly difficult for me to get the product onto the brush so I had to go in a couple of times to build up pigmentation. Also I did notice that it fades slightly through the day. Despite those points, I still find myself reaching for this blush very often as it is just such an easy shade which will compliment any eye look.

Pros
-Really versatile shade or all skin tones.
-Gives skin a natural flush

Cons
-Pressed a little hard into the pan.
-Does fade slightly through the day
-Was slightly difficult o pick up product from pan

Yes!
I also would want to try out their other finishes of blushes.

3/5

"May not be the best blush formula for it's price."
