MAC coppertone blush...Review and swatch

MAC !!!
okayyyyyy Ladies...I had hauled a lotta MAC somewhere last month..just b4 my birthday..and after contemplating and contemplating and thinking and swatching and boring people(sorry Ik and Rati)...i finally got this beauty.
MAC COPPERTONE MATTE BLUSH
What MAC says!
Ok it says nothing...or maybe that says it all!!
Price Rs 1000 INR



The Product
MAC has  5 types of blush finishes in powder :Matte , Frost, Satin, Sheertone ( which goes on sheer), and Sheertone shimmer (with shimmer).
Coppertone is a Matte finish blush.

About MAC coppertone...
This is a beautiful shade for all indian skin tones. Though it might look a bit  muddy on very fair /pale skin.
This is a beautiful shade for using as a blush as well as contouring.
Makes for a great work place blush:))).It is a brownish peachish kinda shade...not really coppery !!







The things I really like :
  •  The texture..its smooth and blends like a dream...It gives a nice natural flush to my NC 42 skin..
  • The pigmentation is good.
  • The lasting power is around 4 hours maximum..by the end of which also it fades a bit on me ( thanks to humid mumbai weather and my slick  oily skin).
  • It is beautiful for contouring ..I use it with my color bar  blush (peachy rose) as  well to add more depth and dimension to my rounded (read chubby ) cheeks!
  • I think it is a pretty shade for all indian skin tones ,except very pale tones....
  • Its MAC!!
What I dont really like
  • The price ....But its Mac afterall.Colorbar blushes have more pigmentation than MAC blushes and I just have used AvON ..which is insanely pigmented..
  • There is no mirror and no brush available .I can get the brush not being there  since to get a super blended effect the small brushes usually provided would be  useless,Okayyy...I get that ..But no mirror????That gets my twitch going
Overall ...an Okay blush with fair enough pigmentation and lasting power.

WILL I RE BUY??
not the same shade for sure...want to try some other shades..... MAC has such an amazing array of wonderfulcolors...May pick up some  other color when am not budget constrained....
Which is your Favorite MAC blush??
Please share...!!!

LAKME FANTASY COLLECTION CHEEK ARTIST

hello everyone .

..I will be reviewing the cheek artist Kiss Of Rose from the LAKME FANTASY COLLECTION.This has been reviewed by almost everyone ,but I am going to have a very small review and post the picture.The picture , in fact is sooo yummm..that it has prompted me to do this mini post....
The product
The LAKME CHEEK ARTIST in 'kiss of a rose 'is a cream blush .  It comes in small tube like packaging,to be used in a twisting fashion.It has  a lid over the blush per se, beneath the cap , to prevent trauma to the creamy blush..
Wanted to buy the NYX cream blush ...but after this (also considering , its cheaper)I don't know whether I will buy NYX...Or I might still buy it  ;p



creammmyyyyyyyyy ain't it??

And Is it creammmmmy or what..Its super soft easily blendable and spreads easily.I use my fingers to apply it , but use a hand sanitizer before every use too.
It gives me a natural flush. Its pretty buildable though, so you can also use it for office or a party look as the occasion demands.
It lasts pretty long for 3 hours - 4 hours (but that was in the A.c) have not tried it in a non AC  environment.
Also I used my colorbar peach blush over this which lasted for almost 6 -7 hours.

One CON  ;the creaminess might lead to damage sometimes if one is not careful.
Also the box  mentions that it is to be applied directly on to the cheeks,which IMHO ,is going to be disastrous.
I am definitely going to repurchase this.,...

Rating 5/5

 bye everyone
