Still working our way through the MAC blushes; today I have an assortment of browns. I’ll be honest; I’d never looked at these shades before and I’m not quite sure what to do with them. Thoughts? Ideas?
MAC’s potted blushes are $18.50; the pans are $15.50. To buy a pro shade, you can visit a pro store, or call 1-800-387-6707.
MAC Blush: Harmony, Sincere, Clove, Blunt, Format
These seem almost like bronzer shades….
One of my favorite YouTube makeup gurus, Tanya of pixi2woo, uses Harmony as a contour powder rather than a blush. I’m thinking about trying it for that purpose.
I use Harmony to contour and it works very well!
These shades are good for people like me who have redness issues…or rosacea. We need “color” but not exra pink red or orange. I also use them for contouring.
I agree with Lucille – I have rosacea and need to avoid pink blushes (even using MAC Studio Fix powder, some of my pinkness shows through). I use Sincere as blush using a light hand. I also use Peaches. When using Peaches as my blush, I use a bit of Sincere towards my ear, just under my cheekbone to help contour my face. Blunt is terrific for contouring since it’s matte. I use a tapered brush to make sure it lands where I want it to. Kandee Johnson (kandeethemakeupartist.blogspot.com) uses Blunt as her contour color; I believe she has youtube videos showing how.
I could KISS you for these. Recently rediscovered both my love for blush, and my HATE for MAC online swatches. So thank you, thank you!
Also, i too found Harmony blush from my favourite guru, pixi2woo. I’m nw15/nc15 and it’s warm and perfect!
i use harmony as a contour, but guru’s like kandee johnson like blunt for contour – i find that one to be too dark for my skintone
I’m an nc15 with blue undertones (use yellow foundation to cancel red), and love using sincere as a blush, especially with red lips or colorful eyes, as it’s competely neutral.
Harmony looks like it could be a wonderful contour for us fairer ladies
I use a discontinued color for called Strada for contouring; some of these shades could be used as contouring for people with medium and very tan skin. They could also used as highlighters or color enhancers/correctors for people with dark skin. Whenever I see strange colors from MAC, I always remember that this is a line designed for professionals first – they need a rainbow. Plus, a good pro can make anything work. Good thing for me, MAC does a great job with wearable, easy to apply shades as well.
Hey doll! I BADLY and I do mean badly want that Clove blush. I have been searching high and low. I found Ebay but I wont buy from Ebay, as I do not trust them :/ Do you have any idea where I can find this? I would be willing to buy from you too if you have it! I am broke but I NEED this blush! Thank you so much doll for any help you can offer me! ♥
I just bought format today and I like it! i’m pretty fair but when i use a light hand it looks good and the make up artist said it looked “bomb” on me so i hope she is right..
Would you happen to know a dupe for MAC Blunt Blush?
