Sweet as Cocoa Blush

[bella1342]

I picked this up at CCO yesterday and then when I got home I wasn't sure if it would work well for me. My skin is on the lighter side, I don't have a MAC foundation #... because I never tried their foundation.

Just wondering what y'all think of this blush though. Thanks!

I love it!! It was my first MAC blush and is still one of my favorites! It works perfectly for my neutral looks as well as a contour. I can see where this blush might be a little much for a littler complexion, (I'm NC50). But I'm sure that can be overcome by a light application. For my skin tone, I think the color is similar to the plum dubois, but sweet as cocoa is definitely more reddish brown. I say give it a try!!!

I forgot I posted this thread.. lol! I've been sick so I haven't been able to use it yet... so we'll see. I'm kinda lighter like I said earlier. I'm anywhere from light/medium, medium, medium beige, beige, etc. depending on the foundation brand. etc. I was just wondering if I could apply it with a light hand and not look silly. I have merrily and really love it... so I figured this might work too. I'll have to try it this weekend. Thanks for your response!

Hi i ordered this online, and when it came i thought it way way to dark for me (i'm NW20), but its really sheer, I love it now, I use a 187 brush and its not too dark or anything. I think you'll like it, its not as dark as it is in the pan. HTH

Oh yes one of my favorites!

Even though they describe Plum du Bois as "frosted deep pink bronze" , it reminds me of sweet as cocoa .. Almost a dupe.
