My top 5 Mac Blushes!

I absolutely love Mac blushes. They were the first blushes I bought since they have such a huge variety, and are so widely talked about on Youtube.

I generally love Mac blushes, they have the right amount of pigmentation, they apply true to colour and last all day. Moreover, I love the huge selection of shades and finishes.

Peaches
A very beautiful brightening peach colour. I feel like it has just the right amount of peach which doesn’t make me look too orange, and is one of my staple daily blushes. I absolutely love wearing this during the day to uni and work, I also find that I don’t need to apply bronzer with this; as it warms my skin up beautifully.


Melba
This was my first mac blush and is my all time favourite blush colour. It looks like a muted pink in the pan but it applies to a beautiful coral which is not to bright and obnoxious. It is one of Macs best sellers and by all means has lived up it to its hype for me. I used this blush every single day for like a whole year! Its just the most perfect pink blush for my skin tone and I love it because its not too dark and not too bright – it’s the perfect in between colour for mid-tone girls.


Gingerly
Gingerly is such a unique shade. In my opinion it is a browny peach shade which when applied builds up as a very muted peachy shade with a brown base. This is a universal shade which is meant to work with all skin tones and is super wearable, and also goes with any look.


Coppertone
Coppertone is Gingerlys brown cousin. It is just like gingeryly but more brown and I love using this shade on my upper cheek bone as a slight contour. If you’re looking for a blush which you can swipe on without bronzer and contouring – this is your shade. I recommend it for medium to dark skin tones. If you’re lighter than NC25 – it might come off terracottery and a muddy looking orange bronzer.


LadyBlush
This is a beautiful muted light pink shade. I think it’s a beautiful everyday crème blush and I use this on long days for when I need my makeup to last. It is really creamy in texture. I love it because it’s the only cool tone pink shade which still works with my complexion.
