MAC Powder Blush in “Pink Swoon”

One of my all-time favorite blushes is MAC’s “Well Dressed.” I can’t stay away from it for too long, even when I purchase other blushes because I return to it all the time. In fact, I’ve finished two compacts of it and I’m on my third one.

Not too long ago, “Pink Swoon” came on my radar for whatever reason — and, it was a color I had overlooked for a long time. Then, when I went out in search for it, it was sold out everywhere — at MAC counters, the website, Nordstrom, etc. Perhaps the fact that I couldn’t find it anywhere convinced me that I needed it even more than ever. Who knows, lol. When I went home for Thanksgiving, I went on the search for this blush again and found it.

The MAC Powder Blush in “Pink Swoon” is a surprisingly workable color for me. In the pan, it looks scary and loud; and, I had assumed in the past that it would look “clown-ish” on me because of the deep pink tone. In fact, it looks so cool in the pan, I was surprised that when I blended it out on my cheeks, it looked pretty and rosy-pink. As with all MAC blushes, the pigmentation is great and lasting power is phenomenal. “Pink Swoon” is a sheertone blush, so I think that’s why it’s so effective in looking natural and pretty on the cheeks. It looks like I just came in from the cold — perfectly pinched and rosy, but not so much so that it looks like I have a rash.

“Pink Swoon” isn’t a new color and has been around for awhile. But, if you’ve passed it up before, I suggest re-visiting it like I did because you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
