A beautiful Peachy blush. After falling in love with the Sheertone formula, I wanted to try more shades. My first sheertone was Pink Swoon, and I loved the texture. I loved how it was buildable, and left a gorgeous color. Previously, I was devoted to Cubic (a Satin finish) and I found myself having to pile it on to show up, then it would get blotchy. Anywho, I wanted to try Gingerly next, and so happy I did. Its perfect when I want to look a little more warmer, it really wakes up your face & looks beautiful. Its great if you want something a little more neutral then pink. I love using Pink Swoon when I want that Baby Doll looking blush. MAC has never let me down, a few products can be duds- but they make up for it with the products that are amazing. I apply this with my Ecotools Kabuki, and get the perfect finish everytime. continued >>

Recently purchased this blush after reading many positive reveiws (mainly Kim K., lol). Looked a little boring/scary in the pan (tad orangish), but I must say, I LOVE it! It's the perfect spring/summer blush for my NC30 skin. Leaves my cheeks looking matte and healthy! Might just be my new fav blush!

I am VERY fair, Siberia in Nars sheer glow, possibly an NC 10 or 15 in MAC, though not sure. Freckles, hazel eyes, dark brown hair.
This looks TERRIFYING in the pan. I walked into MAC and asked for a peachy blush. I've been getting tired of my NARS cream pennylane, which lasts for half an hour...and I've started thinking it has a grey undertone? (maybe I'm just bored)
Anyway, the nice MAC salesperson showed me this in response to my query. No way, I thought. Peach, not bronze. But on my skin, it is beautiful. A very subtle warm peach. From looking at the colors in the pan, I went straight for peachy keen, but it on my skin, it is too pink and garrish.
So score one for the MAC customer service.
Oh, and look it on your skin in different lights.

My favorite Mac blush i have ever purchased. it is the perfect spring/summer color for the cheeks, and I like that it doesn't have any shimmer. It is a natural looking blush that i will be hitting pan on very quickly!

Gingerly gave a tan kind of look to my NC15 skin and the truth is I didn't really like it 'cause I prefer porcelain white kind of skin with highlighted cheeks. I should have bought something lighter and more vivid I think. On the other hand if you have a pale skin and want to look more broze like in the summertime it would probably be a good choice. I think that it works best on darker complexions though...

At first I was kind of scared when I received it, it looks so brown in the pan, but it is such a pretty color. It warms up my complexion and acts as a bronzer and a blush as the same time. It's pigmented and blends very well. I'm NC20 and this is just beautiful on my pale skin

#1 warm weather blush. Makes me look like I'm on a permanent vacation. Very natural and healthy looking. Some people say it looks boring in the pan. I have no idea what that means. It's not supposed to jump out and throw you a party. It's supposed to emphasize your beautiful face, and you don't need sparkly dance numbers for that.

Its a pretty summer bronze like glow .....But it can look like your face got burned from a curly iron if you use too much.

When I first swatched this I was very disappointed because it looked exactly like my tone so it was like I had nothing on my wrist, but I tried it today on my cheeks(NC/45 and NW45) and it is such a nice soft natural look. I cannot describe the color but it is so nice.
I put some on my 13 year old just to see and it didn't show up much on her but it is very soft on me. Not sure if it is build able though because I did not try this yet. I love mac blushes that are matte and sheer toned.
If you are ambivalent about this blush I say purchase it. Some blushes you see and you are like now way. If you have the slightest interest in this blush please purchase it.

My all time favourite terracotta, coral blush. It looks scary orange in the pan, but gives a nice flush for my NC25-30 skintone. This is one that I've repurchased over and over again. It's a fantastic summer shade!
It's a foolproof color--it works amazingly well as a blush or a light bronzer.

A nice terracotta, burnt-peach kind of colour. I'm an NC25 right now and it looks good on my skin, however when I'm at my lightest (NC20) Gingerly tends to look rather orange and doesn't look good. This blush is versatile as you can use it to sculpt your cheekbones, as a bronzer, blush or just to warm up your skin. Very pigmented despite being a sheertone. I would repurchase!

The most beautiful shade I've ever used on my pale-olive skin. Absolutely the only color I really like, despite the 30 other blushes I own. I think I can stop looking, now.

I was recommended this by a professional mac artist. What I asked for was a blush that would give life and definition to my fair complexion. She swept this across my cheeks, and the result was exactly that! What I also got was sculpted cheekbones, something that is very hard to achieve with any other blush that is not a a sculpting powder. it is a staple, it may appear a dull colour in the pan, but wait until you sweeep it on. It might work great as bronzer on fairer skintones as well. A very good buy, a basic really which gives a professional sculpted and defined cheekbone!

LOVE this blush! It's like a blush and a bronzer mixed together, and it looks awesome no matter what my skin tone is at the time, whether I'm super tanned in the summer or deathly pale in the winter, it doesn't look to orange or anything, if you apply it right. I have found that it can easily turn from a beautiful colour to a little orange if I apply to much, so I have to be careful and I have to check how I look in a few different light settings before I'm happy with it. But that's not really the products fault, that's just me having a heavy hand! Anyways, I will definitely keep buying. It is pricey, like all mac products, but it last so long. I've had mine for 7-8 months and there's only the smallest indent in the product.

Its alright but not great. I find it looks quite 'flat' on my NC43 skin, I can't really point out why. I got it because so many NC43/ 42 s recommended it but I was not too impressed personally.

This is the only MAC blush I own and I love, love, love this blush. It's a very natural looking blush that I wear to work almost every day. If I want a more shimmery look then I go over this blush with a light bronzer.

This was my first ever MAC blush and the one i'd say i reach for most often. It's pretty much a no-fail type of color. Kinda pink..Kinda peach idk. Me being such a blush lover, I usually lay it on thick and it never ever gives me the bozo the clown look. If your scared of blush and or new to makeup in general, i'd recommend starting out with Gingerly......hell, every girl should own Gingerly :)

NC30, blonde & blue eyes-- very natural looking. Great for workplace. No shimmer, so there are no distracting particles all over the face which can look terribly unprofessional. This can double as a bronzer as well. continued >>

I'm an NC25 and have medium Asian skin. I love MAC sheertones cos I love piling on makeup! Haha! So for this colour in Gingerly,it's orange-brown in colour which looks perfect on my skin as a bronzer. I apply on my forehead, lower cheeks,chin and especially especially importantly on both sides of the bridge of my nose to create depth. I love love love this colour for the effect it creates on the latter! I know most people would conour their noses with a brown matte shadow/brow liner but I prefer to use a blusher for that! And for my skintone,it's perfect! I don't look orange bcos of the brown tint that this blusher has. I'm finishing mine soon and would buy again in a heartbeat!

When I first tried this blush on, I was quite disappointed as I couldn't see any change on my NC42 skin. However, I put just a tad bit more on and buffed it in well and it was wonderful. Its just a little bit more brown than my natural flush and it looks so lovely on.
