In my last post, I talked about going to my local CCO (Cosmetics Company Outlet) and picking up a palette by Bobbi Brown. Well, that wasn't the only thing I picked up!
This blush is a Mineralized Blush by MAC. I'm not sure when it was originally released, but I'm fairly certain I've seen it within the last year in YouTube videos. Anyway, it's a sweet light neutral pink shade, and it comes with a silver heart imprinted in the center. This heart does not appear to be overlay - it delivers a light, silvery sheer highlight to the brush.
As you can see, the color is incredibly light, but it is pigmented. I do not wear this as a blush - I actually use it more for highlighting purposes. Because my face tends to be on the red side, I like that this cheek color neutralizes that redness without erring on the side of yellow or orange. By lightly applying it to the area above my cheeks, I find that my face looks brighter and more cheery without looking like I needed the help of some liquid libations, if you know what I mean! The silver heart gives it a certain soft lightness, and I like that. I like my makeup to look pretty natural, especially with blush. No harsh contouring lines, nothing too obvious. Just a nice, natural healthy glow of a girl next door... and this color definitely helps!
Have a great weekend everybody!

This is so pretty! I love the heart in the middle. Those cute touches really appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteI bet it makes a lovely highlighter.
It's nice because it's not so shimmery that it looks synthetic and over the top. It gives a tiny little glow that looks really subtle and natural. Very pretty!!
