MAC Unsung Heroes: style blush

by barbee Uncategorized

wearing a single layer of MAC Powder blush in style ($21) on my cheeks
I’ve had to do rapid-fire makeup to get out the door and catch appointments two days this week. From start to finish, I’m talkin’ 10, 15 minutes tops.

This pressure cooker of time has led me to MAC Style, a shimmery golden coral Powder blush in the MAC permanent line.

PUBLICITATE

I picked it up a while back during a tension shopping session (girl, you do it too!) but set it aside when I became completely infatuated with MAC Cantaloupe.

I guess I was just feeling much more like matte cheeks and full-on wintery makeup looks for a while there, and Cantaloupe fit the bill. I had a blast layering different highlighters and shimmer products with it, too, but that was when I had enough time to play…

When my schedule doesn’t allow for that and I have to leave the house in a hurry, extra little makeup touches like highlighter typically get cut.

Which is where MAC style comes in…

MAC style Blush
A beautiful soft coral powder blush with a delicate golden sheen, I think it’s great for getting out the door in a flash. Its moderately pigmented coral base has just enough color to give a good flush to my cheeks.

It’s not so intense that I have to spend precious breakfast time buffing and blending everything out if I inadvertently over-apply, and it’s easy to control. No exaggeration, but I can get it on my cheeks and be finished with blush in less than a minute.

But that’s not my favorite thing about Style. That distinction goes to its fine golden sheen.

Leşin!

While delicate and subtle, it completely takes this blush to the next level for me, transforming it into a hybrid blush/highlighting butterfly, and I smile each time I see a flash of its pearly golden glow.

Not only is style dynamic, it also shaves a couple steps off my makeup routine.

And the possibilities for layering are endless! Yeah, Style’s great as an everyday blush to get you out the door, but when you do have the time to play and blend, you can do that, too. in some cases I’ll layer a peach or coral blush underneath it (try Sunbasque, Margin or Orgasm), and sweep style on my upper cheekbones as a straight-up golden coral highlighter.

Or, if you want to play up the golden shimmer for a much more dramatic cheek, layer your favorite high-shine highlighter either below or on top of style on your upper cheekbones.

I’ve worn it with MAC’s golden Bronzer Iridescent loose Powder, hourglass Radiant Ambient and Becca’s Opal, and I think it dances divinely with all manner of warm gold or peachy shimmer.

With winter season winding down, I also think that style will be ideal for spring.

I did this look in 10 minutes. That’s the hourglass Dune Eyeshadow Duo on my eyes and MAC fashion Fierce Huggable Lip color topped with Overindulgence Cremesheen Glass on my lips.

PUBLICITATE

Ya know, if it’s warm enough outside to run errands in sandals and a dress, I don’t want to be wearing heavy makeup or a full face. I’m pleased to keep it easy — tinted moisturizer, brows, mascara, under-eye concealer, gloss and a touch of blush. style will be ideal for casual spring days.

Farmecul tău prietenos de farmec dependent,

Karen.
