MAC Shop MAC / Cook MAC Cremeblend Blushes Review & Swatches


I've never tried MAC Cremeblend Blushes before, so I decided to get the three shades that were released with the Shop MAC / Cook MAC collection... Florida, Optimistic Orange, and Restores Dazzle!



From L to R: Florida, Optimistic Orange, and Restores Dazzle!



MAC Florida Cremeblend Blush:



Florida is a bright fuchsia pink.



It's so bright that it can look a bit scary, but it melts into your skin and blends effortlessly, giving you a very pretty and natural-looking flush.



MAC Optimistic Orange Cremeblend Blush:



Optimistic Orange is a bright orange.



At first, I wasn't sure about this color because it's very orange, but it turns into a lovely peachy color when applied. Very wearable.



MAC Restores Dazzle! Cremeblend Blush:



Restores Dazzle! is a rosy plum.



This one looks very dark in the pan, but it looks so gorgeous once applied. I love pairing this with plum and berry lip colors.




I'm really glad I decided to try these MAC Cremeblend Blushes. They are incredibly pigmented, but the texture is very soft and smooth, making it really easy to blend out. I use a stippling brush to achieve a natural look, but it can be built up for a dramatic look. They feel nice and lightweight, creamy not greasy, and I get about 8 hours of wear without looking oily. To be honest, I was not a huge fan of cream blushes before, but I really like the formula of MAC Cremeblend Blushes and need more of them in my life!

Do you like cream blushes? Have you tried MAC Cremeblend Blushes before? What are your favorite shades? Did you get any of these?

Where to buy: MAC counters, stores, and online.
