This collection launches on April 5th, but I've got four of these hot little babies in my hands NOW! Check out the swatches and the beauty of this upcoming collection...
From the MAC Press Release:
Everyone loves when you blush. Fashioning your choices: A new sextet of M·A·C blush powders. Go hip in bright red-orange, or add a glorious touch of peach, pink or lavender – each shade staying as bright and un-beige on the skin as it is in the palette. With a formula that’s seamlessly sheer and unabashedly buildable, what do you get? A look that says Tres Cheek.
MAC Tres Cheek Powder Blush - Retail $20US
This collection really had me excited and I had no idea how incredible they were until I got my hands on them. The texture and pigmentation is ridiculous. These feel so silky and velvety soft, just like a pillowy cloud. You can build the color up to make these super intense or blend them out for a sheer, beautiful wash of color. The colors are perfect for Spring/Summer! If these don't get you in the mood for the season, put one on and it'll change your mood instantly!
The bonus with these (and the thing I look for first in most products) is duality. These can be used on the eyes, lips and cheeks!
Let's get on to the pics and swatches. I am NC20, so keep that in mind when viewing the swatches. ;)
*NOTE: I'm still figuring out how to take swatch pictures, so bear with me! :)
I took a pic of all the items I got from upcoming collections. Here the blushes are pictured with the Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion (which is launching with the Future Prime Collection) and the 234 Split Fibre Brush (which is launching with the In Extra Dimension Collection). Pics forthcoming on the other two soon!

In my opinion, these blushes are the strongest colors out of the 6 in the launch and I honestly have a hard time picking a favorite. I do know that the versatility of using these all over the face will keep me reaching for these quite often this season. I can't wait to play with them more!
These are limited edition and I suspect will sell out FAST. If you plan on picking up one or a few, get there on day ONE of the launch. Seriously. :)
Which one(s) catch your eye? Do you have a favorite that is a must buy?
Have a beautiful day!

omfg, I was gonna skip these and get only one.. =_=
ReplyDeletethanks for swatches! they look amazing
ReplyDeletelol!! they ARE amazing. which one were/are you going to get!??
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteI have ordered 4 from this collection Full of Joy, Peony Petal,Lovecloud and Pink Tea but looking at the Immortal flower... Man wish I had got that as well!!
ReplyDelete*____* lovely!! I'll probably buy Full of Joy.. does it work on your skintone? I am warm toned too!
ReplyDelete@ starling bright - they're all gorgeous!! when i was swatching them i didn't get the other two b/c i felt they were dupable in color. the finish is extraordinary though!! you will love them all! i deffo recommend picking up Immortal Flower if you can. it's a MUST HAVE. haha! thanks for stopping by! xx
ReplyDelete@ xasperadastra - i'm cool toned! :) full of joy does lean a bit cooler and the frost finish isn't INYOURFACE and i think full of joy could work across all skintones (for the most part, i'm still testing!). it could be used as a blusher or highlighter or on the eyes depending on the coolness/warmth and depth of skintone. it also depends on the application but the color and finish is so unique and gorgeous it was the first one i swatched and said OMG YES! if you're a working MUA, you should have this b/c of the versatility of the product and the color. these can be sheered down and blended out beautifully and the finish is extraordinary. they're quite easy to work. what color are you? you look fairly light like me. ;)
ReplyDeleteuhh sorry from the picture of your hands I though you were warm toned.. I'm NC20-25!
DeleteLOL now worries! it's so hard to tell b/c of different temperature monitors, colors, etc. I'm an NC20 too! I'll be doing a video soon using the blushes on my eyes and face and mixing them to demonstrate the versatility of them but people might have these by then. i got mine last weekend so i've had a bit of time to play and full of joy is AH-MAZING. xx
