Phew....doesn' t look that orange in this pic than it does in the other!

But I definitely have to see swatches before I can make a final decision.

I am sure that I want the pink blush but still unsure about this.....


Thank you for sharing!

This looks like the hibiscus blush from aveda (not all the colors cause hibiscus has 3 gradient colors) but similar in the other two... Will need swatches !!!

I take back what I just said.... Not similar at all where hibiscus swirl swatch tends to coral the proenza is looking more pink than this. Still think it could be duped ! This is the only thing out of this collection I'm interested in so I'm invested in finding all about it now

I second that. Wow! I like this one better than the more filtered(?) orangey one. I am leaning towards this blush over the pink one even tho I like the pink one also. Augh! Decisions!!

Edit: So I showed my mom this blush and the pink one and asked her for help. She doesn't wear makeup at all. All very tomboyish and au naturale. She likes them both and said she wasn't sure. Maybe the orange one since it looks like a Sunset. Think I'll go for this one. She was shocked that MAC didn't come out with a new purpley blush ombre. I told her when they do I'll jump at it this time around.

I think I will settle on the coral blush and call it a day.

Unless Woodrose enchants me....
Ugh I really need to get into the low buy thread more lol

Same here, although I do want to check out Pinkfringe to see if it is anything like my beloved Pinkpacked from days gone by.

I imagine that the ombre blushes will sell out really fast...at least here in Canada we have a couple of minutes more than the Americans....haha!

The typeface on the Proenze Schouler MAC stuff is Neuzeit S, which is a classic modern font from the late 1920s, and very European. It's clean, simple, straightforward. It is the typeface they use on their website and on their products. It is identified with them. That's why it is used on their MAC products.

I absolutely love it, and this is why. Thank you for posting this information!

I thin Mighty Aphrodite has a bit more pink in it than this, off the top of my head.
I am currently looking at my Mighty Aphrodite, and it looks quite different than the pics I have seen of the new ombre. Of course it is hard to compare without seeing them side by side, but the new ombre blush is A LOT brighter (more vibrant color) in the darker portion of the pan. Hope that helps!

I was worried it would be too orange and I almost shed tears but it is looking more wearable in this pic. Even if I have to use a tiny brush and just swipe the top portion, I know I want it. Even if I have to buff the shiznit out of it and layer it with something pink to soften the orangeness of it, I know I want it. Want, want, want, want, want, want. I hope this is easier to get than Marine Life was.

I know this may sound a bit cray but I logged into the Candy Crush app and the wonderful orange background has me seeing Ripe Peach and the Proenza peach ombré. Isn't that just the most perfect color! Amazing as a blush IMO

Scanned this from the new Vogue. The model is wearing one of the lipsticks, and the article states that Mangrove is a tomato red and the plum (Primrose) is sheer. (Please excuse the watermarks. I just learned that my scanner is no longer supported on the newer Mac OS and I had to download a scanning program which adds the watermarks)
