Although I don’t really lose my wits over buying new blushers, whenever I
DO remember to pick up a new one, I fall in love and wonder how I possibly
survived up until that point without it. My newest addition to my ever-growing
make-up hoarder paradise is MAC’s Blushbaby. I’m so excited because not only is
it beautiful and new, it’s also my first proper MAC blush.
I say ‘proper’ because the first one I bought was back in the day where I
thought I could pull off the same makeup looks as someone with a good fake tan
on. My first MAC blush was Melba, a vibrant, warm coral shade which did
absolutely nothing for me (except maybe make me look like I was auditioning as
a Dame for a pantomime or something). I threw it swiftly into my makeup drawer
and forgot it ever existed. Over the past couple of years, I’ve grown much more
into my own skin and I take makeup inspiration from girls with similar
skintones, so I don’t end up looking hilarious again. I find that more
delicate, petal-toned hues suit me much more, which is why I finally settled on
MAC’s Blushbaby blush.
I usually don’t have many positive things to say about MAC staff (normally
because I rock up after university looking like an addict and they judge me),
but the girl who helped me choose this blush was lovely. I told her that I
wanted something peachy, dusty and natural looking, and she chose Blushbaby. It
delivers on every aspect of what I was after. Obviously MAC’s blushes are such
a high standard of quality; blendable, pigmented and comfortable, and this one
is no exception. It’s a beautiful neutral shade and works beautifully with my
paler complexion in the cooler months. This one is a sheer-tone blush, meaning
that is goes on in a much more fine way and gives a translucent finish. It’s
really pretty and ever-so natural.
At £18.50, this blush is reasonably affordable compared to other MAC
prices, but still a little bit eye-watering. It’s so beautiful, though, and has
become my go-to blush. Given that it’s a sheer-tone, you do need to use quite a
bit to give more colour definition, so I’m trying to be as sparing as possible
so I don’t use it too quickly! Even so, I’m beyond happy with my new everyday
blush, and MAC has only gone and delivered the fabulousness AGAIN.
Lots of love,
