I'm not too sure why I decided to start wearing blush but I really wanted to try something new. I went to the Mac counter and tried this color on and it was so gorgeous on me. I was a touch of color that made my skin glow instantly without having the "clown look". It is so beautiful on my skin. I am an NW45 for reference.

If you have a warm complexion and don't own this, you've never been to a MAC counter for blush... Good rich deep color thats amazing for contouring. I will always use both this and Sweet as Cocoa!

I used to wear this as a teen, fell out of love with it, and just recently bought a new one. And now I remember why I used to love it. It looks oh-so-pretty on my NC50 skin.
It's an everyday color blush- it's a brick red color. If you're a WOC, get this blush. It just looks so pretty on darker skin.

I'm afraid to say that I've worn this blush almost everyday for, like, a year. When my Sweet as Cocoa broke when it fell on the floor, I had no choice but to go with this. I found it in my mom's bathroom, tucked away...I'm 100% positive she didn't even know she had it. So I took it and put it to use!
For reference MAC thinks I'm a NW43 (I say this because MAC always matches me wrong, so I don't wear their foundation), and this looks so nice on me. I bring it all the way up through my cheek bones to my temples and in that way it acts as a bronzer too. People have told me it makes me look like I have a nice, sculpted face.
I'm not even near hitting pan on this despite my religious use of it. Also, it was voted BEST BLUSH FOR DARK SKIN in InStyle mag and I think they're right.

This blush is great!
It's a staple in the colder seasons and I've had it for a year now and is one of my favorites. It's highly pigmented so you don't need to use a lot of it all the time.
I've had it for a year now and it hasn't even dented, the color is so versatile and I've even used it as a base as an eye shadow as well.

This was my fourth blush purchase from MAC and so far my favourite. Applied subtly on my NC50/NW45 complexion, it gives a natural and warm look. Would definitely recommend it.

I won a contest & I had the choice to take what I wanted so I decided to take the raizin blush! Several people said a lot of good things about this color. So I tried it. WOW love love love this color on my NW45! I'll buy it when it will end (probably in 6 years lol). It really gives a natural look. :) xx continued >>

My intro to blush was MAC's Ambering Rose, a shimmery soft pinkish plum. Raizin is the plain jane older sister of Ambering Rose. It's the exact same color with a matte finish. I love to use it to really put focus AND color on my cheeks. It's more expensive than a drugstore blush, but the quality is insane! As a brown girl (MAC NW50) who loves blush, Raizin is a dream. :-)

Yes Raizin looks great on me, I'm NC45. I bought it not for me though but for my Mom who's NW47 or NW55 (?) I forgot what she is because she usually uses other brands of foundation besides MAC. Anyway she loves Raizin too, and it looks great on her. I prefer my blushes to be more orange-y though. But this is more of a 'safe bet' blush for me, when there's absolutely nothing.

I thought this would be a beautiful blush on my nc43-44 skintone - but it makes my cheeks look a bit muddy and I felt like it went on a bit unevenly. I've used matte blushes before... so I have NO idea why it applied a bit splotchy.

This was the first blush I purchased from MAC... my first MAC product in fact. I am NC50 / NW45 and all the MUA would recommand this blush to women of colour. I think it's a nice option for those who are newbies in makeup... Gives a subtle natural effect without being to overwhelming. Nice for fall and winter. I got it maybe 3 years ago and now I know makeup a little more, I think this blush is ok but not my fave among all my blushes.

This is the second blush I purchased at MAC and it was an instant hit for me. I am a NW 50 and I find that this blush is great because it showed up really well on my skin. Even more then my sweet as cocoa. I really really love this blush and it looks great on darker skins around NW 50 I really love it!

NC40 here. A MAC artist tried this on me, and it was far too dark on my skin. It looked red/brown and dirty. I imagine it would look great on darker skintones -- based on the reviews here, probably NC43 and up.

This is one of the products where everyone has something great to say about it and I'm joining the club! It's perfect for my NW45 skin. I use it with either a 187 brush on light blush days or my 168 brush for regular blush days. Love, love, love it!

My 2nd blush from MAC & I'm glad I got my hands on this. I visited a CCO for the 1st time over the wknd & picked this up when I recognized the name. In the pkg it looks very brown. It's hard for me to describe this color but it gave me the perfect amount of flush on my cheeks. My daughter said it looks pink on me, I say it looks maroonish, so maybe it depends on the lighting. It looked so pretty in the sunlight & I can make this work for everyday. This color is buildable, but too much & my cheeks will look bruised. I highlighted over it with Stereo Rose MSF which gave me the perfect glow. I'm a MaC NW45 for reference. continued >>

I love this blush, I love orange blushes and this one is perfect. When I do a plain look and don't want any color on the lips I use this blush. It warms up my face giving the perfect pop of color. I usually use this blush during the winter but this summer I was watching one of my fav shows Kourtney and Khloe take miami and one of Khloe's friend who is my skin tone usually has a matte face with some pink of clear lipgloss and I never paid attention that she wears this blush. So this summer I mimicked the look at I loved it. :)

Great blush color for those of us who are just "getting our feet wet" with cheek color. Perfect beginners blush for Brown girls. It looks really brown in the pan but once you put it on it gives you a nice pinky look. Not too much, just the right amount. I love it!

This is my everyday blush right now, and I have quite a few blushes to choose from. I'm an NC45 MAC girl, and this is the perfect shade for everyday. I started wearing it in the beginning of summer, and people have commented on how it looks. I've been told it makes me look like I've just come from a tropical vacation, lol, that's weird with this not being close to a bronzer, but the way that it takes to my skin is georgeous.
Definitely would recommend this for those close to my color, a little lighter, a little darker. You won't be disappointed.
