MAC Blush Collection and Swatches

Today I will share with you my MAC blush collection. I love MAC blushes because they come in a wide variety of shades (although most of mine are peach) and they have good pigmentation. I have depotted all of mine except for the limited edition and mineralized ones. I will talk about them briefly here and show you swatches.


Well Dressed is my least pigmented and lightest blush, I would only recommend this one for those who are very fair skinned. Peachykeen, which I mistakenly thought would be peachy (when I first got into MAC blushes) is actually my most coral/red toned blush, I rare wear this one, but it has great pigementation. Springsheen is a pretty pink with gold shimmer. Melba and Cantaloupe (pro) are both intensely pigmented and are both matte. Sunbasque is quite dark peach.bronze shade.


Here is more of my peach blushes, and some of my favourites (and most worn). Peaches is my all time favourite peach blush. If you like more of an orange peach I would suggest Style or My Highland Honey (more chalky than Style). Gingerly, I got purely because it's said to be Kim Kardashian's favourite, it's a dark peach as well, very good pigmentation. Margin is okay but very shimmery and glowly. Sincere is probably the darkest blush that I have, verging on a bronzer, but could still be considered a peach tone.


Then I have my limited edition (still in original packaging) and mineralized blushes (not wise to depot those since they are domed). I have left out my mineralized duo blushes. Fun and Games is a pretty peach with slight shimmer, I suggest getting this one if you can find it. Eversun is a nice brown peach. Hipness is one that I never touch, it's pretty but too pink/red for my taste. Dainty and Utterly Game are nice but very shimmery, if you zoom in on the picture you can see, I do love Utterly Game though if you like a shimmer dark peach.

Do you like MAC blushes? Which ones are your favs? are you a peach fanatic like me?

  1. Fun & Games is one of my all time favorite blushes! I've also been lemming Peaches and Melba, but you totally convinced me to check out Springsheen. It's so pretty!

  8. oo you have basically all the peach blushes from mac! haha. i really dont have that many mac blushes. i feel like their pigmentation is not up to par compared to other brands. but i do have a 6 palette thing that i want to fill so i will probably fill that up and not get anything else from mac (unless i absolutely need a LE item)...thanks for sharing your swatches justine! i will be sure to use this as a reference when i fill up that palette :P

  12. @kellyyes - compared to say NARS, the pigmentation is not as great. I haven't branched out into mamy other high-end blushes as of yet. I like how MAC has a ton of colours.

  13. What a great post! My favourite is Warm Soul and from the regular blushes, Peaches is also my favourite, so easy to wear!

  14. I also love a good peach blush but you should try blushbaby, I find its a nice blush when you wear a smokey eye and nice on fair skin tones. My blush drawer is my most treasured, I just can't get enough!! I was obssessed with MAC but have branched out into other brands, now its NARS. Thanks for the swatches!
