MAC Blush - Help Please

[Glam Girl]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to put together a pallette of 6 blushes from MAC. I need a variety of colors. Any suggestions?

Creams or powders? For yourself or for a kit?

I generally buy blushes two at a time, one light and one dark of a similar hue. Dollymix and Cute, for example. Also grab a more neutral powder blush like Peaceful - it's fantastic for taking the intensity out of a shade if you mistakenly apply to much or you find it has too much impact.

PBI, but I couldn't find peaceful on the (Canadian) MAC website...was it LE? I tried searching for a swatch/pic as well but couldn't find one.

Sounds like one I could really use!

Peaceful might have D/Ced. I don't think it was a L/E. Check your CCOs, it's probably coming through there.

I'm popping out to buy some more camera batteries, so when I get back I'll snap a picture for you.

completely agree with what lara said, i generally buy two blushes at a time, one lighter and one darker of a shade, or one shimmery, one matte. my blush pan is currently breezy, tantone, dollymix, sunbasque, ambering rose, and blushbaby. but i've switched them up a bit, here and there, buying and selling ones that i have. i think its always good to lay 6 out at a time, and pick and choose from there. buy your blushes with the entire palette in mind, so you have a broader range of colors.

I'm in Canada, so I'll hafta wait for a trip to the States to check that out.

Thanks for offering a pic!

I'm in Canada - I'm also a dead pale chick with black hair/eyebrows and blue eyes. I've got blushbaby (matte plum brown), fleur power (matte rosy pink), style (peach with shimmer) and well dressed (blue pink with shimmer).
They get me through just about any palette that I'm after - and blush is my best friend. I'm so pale that bronzer makes me look like I dusted dirt on my face... hope that helps...

Did you check out the Ultracheek blushes? They were released not that long ago and are permanent so come in pro pan form. There were some nice colours in that collection. Could be good as a starting point.

I agree. Be sure to check out Springsheen from this collection. It's a nice, soft peach tone. Also, Shy Angel if you can find it. Unfortunately, it was the only LE one in the bunch, but it's a very pretty light pink.

makesure you get plumfoolery and dame...
amazing stiking colours .

also agree with getting dollymix and well dressed.

I love Breezy too...its very dark but amazing for clubbin

maybe get Trace gold for highlighting?

Peaceful is the bottom right-hand corner, and the formula is sheertone.
