I swatched the MAC blushers:
L to R--- Pleasantry, Azalea, Angel
L to R: Pink Swoon, Peachy Keen, Plum Foolery
From L to R: Pink Porcelain, Petticoat (the dark colour gave me a shock!! I think I touched mostly the raspberry swirls), Alpha Girl, Nuance
I will choose 5 of my favourite blushes (in no order of preference):
- Stila's Convertible Colour. This pretty pink suits my skin tone, and when I have the time, I use it as a base under my actual blusher for longer lasting colour. How I use this: After my liquid foundation and before setting with face powder, I use my 187 brush and stipple this cream blusher onto my cheeks for a thin and even layer, creating a cream base for cheek colours later on.
- Azalea: This may look like a bold fuschia, but I use my 168 brush, and with a very light hand, tap the powder off, and lightly dust onto cheeks for instant rosy cheeks. So the bright pink becomes a very faint flush of colour.
- NARS Orgasm: This may be a cliche, but the colour payoff is awesome and it suits whichever eye looks I am doing. Sometimes I also use the Orgasm Multiple Stick as a base.
- Pleasantry: Pretty shimmery pink and the texture is so smooth and easy to blend.
- Plum Foolery: For a darker and almost mauve tone on my cheeks.
I have been using Azalea and Pink Swoon the most often now.
