I love this blush. It gives me a beautiful glow, making me look healthy and tanned. I really love wearing this during the summer when I don't wear much makeup. It makes me looked tanned and flushes. It's not really pink, it's more orange-y, but not in a bad way. I don't wear bronzer ever because I like to have some colour to my cheeks, and this is perfect for that. It's almost like my MAC Gingerly blush, which was my go too blush before, but Prism has a bit more orange/red in it and is a little darker. LOVE IT. You need to be careful when applying though if you have fair skin, or it can be easily overdone.

I'm NC42/43 and Prism fades right into my skin tone. So I don't really have any use for it, personally. I've tried to build up the color by layering it and it ends up giving me a very SLIGHT, natural looking flush. I have oily cheeks, so I can get away with doing that on my bare skin. But, if I wear a mattifying primer or my matte foundation, then it would look powdery.

In the pan this blush looks boring and plain. It's a very natural pinkish nude. My coloring in MAC is NC42 and this blush still shows up. It's very flattering and easy to wear. Great to wear with a dramatic smoky eye or bright lips. Lovely for everyday wear. This may not last long with oily skin, a primer is recommended. If you're thinking of getting it go for it, it's become an everyday staple for me.

This is my favorite Mac blush. It is a pinkish, brownish color..looks kinda bland in the pan but looks great on my skin with my brown eyes and dark brown hair. I will buy again and again.

First of all I have no idea if this is even the shade I have, but I'm pretty sure it is. Anyway I love the pinky brown colour it gives with a little shimmer. I don't use this for a blush as much as I use it for an eyeshadow colour. It really adds warmth to my eyes, and my cheeks. When I use it for both my eyes and cheeks, I get a really warm pinky glow to my face. This is a really texture, it's powdery but spreads easily with my fingers (my only makeup tools). I don't know how much this was,I got a little sample size from my friend. Overall I really like this.

This is my go-to-blush when I want contoured cheeks. It`s not too brown, pink, muddy or dark and no peach, but a perfect neutral colour and matte. My only problem with Mac blushes in general is that they don`t last all day on me.

Nice shade but have to reapply if I blot my face throughout the day, especially in the summer.

This is an excellent contouring colour for me. I don't use it as a blush I personally find it too flat a colour for my skin but it is spot on for subtle contouring. Usual great mac packaging, fine even colour and stays put all day. I find I need hardly any on the brush so also good value.

I LOVE this colour. Now its autumn, I often have to have the lights on in the house when I am applying 'my face' at 7.30am. Sometimes I have done my face in the artificial light, and when I catch sight of myself later on in the harsher autumn daylight I look overdone. Not with this colour. Even if I have been a bit heavy handed because I am still half asleep, prism never looks clown like. I just look alive, and it also makes the whites of my eyes look whiter. I dont like to do the AM school run bare faced, but with this colour I just look polished and 'together', and never too try hard. Will be repurchasing, though this could be quite a time away, as I only dab my brush twice onto the surface of the blush for each cheek. Brilliant and HG blush for me :-D

As of right now this is the blush i reach for 90% of the time when i do my smokey eyes. It's just a perfect toned down/ un-loud blush that pulls your look together. It doesn't scream that i have blush on. Love that. On me it's a very neutral slight pinky/ brown color that just brightens my complexion and lends just the right amount of color to my cheeks. I adore Prism and will never be without it.

I really love this blush because it's not too bright for my skin tone (C40). It always gives me a very natural everyday look.

I absolutely love this blush, I use it to contour altough in my skin is slightly reddish but I wear it a lot as an eyeshadow, love it for a warmer, sultry look.
The perfect colour for my skin and it's not too dark, just right.

This is my go-to blush when I am in a hurry. It is a blush/contour colour in one for me in the warmer months (NC25-30). I apply this with a medium sized round blush brush, starting at the ear/hairline area and blend towards the apples of my cheeks. The majority of colour is concentrated near my hairline and fades softly down my cheekbones.
The colour is a dusty rose/brown. Depending on your skintone, this can look like a neutral pink or even tan/brown----I'd suggest trying this on in-store first as it is not for everyone.
The formula is smooth, and blends easily for a matte product. It lasts all day without turning a muddy brown. I also like to bring this for travel, no need to bring another blush or a seperate contour product.

NC42 MAC/ Honey in Bobbi Brown Indian Asian skin.
I found the colour very classy and i think it would suit most Indian skin tones. Unfortunately im on the edge about whether its a tad too dark for me especially since Gingerly is lighter and gives more colour. Would prefer to go for sheer tones so will not buy again, although it is quite a good blush.

WARNING: This blush can be a bit boring alone. However....
I really love it because it's neutral, and if you have fair skin, it great. After I use it as blush, I sometimes brush it over my nose for a bronzer look because it's muddy pink and you can get away with that.
It stays on really well, and it gets along well with my skin and my bare minerals foundation and various concealers. It's subtle...great for a natural look that you need to get in a hurry. Love the packaging! Love how it stays clean and compact inside the container even after i swirl my brush around in it. Favorite blush...although i find myself adding high lighters and rosey blushes on top if I'm getting dressed up.

I usually wear bronzer in place blush so this was my first transition into pink tones. It's quite subtle and not too pink. Neutral and matches almost any colour scheme.

Like many others have mentioned, Prism is a very neutral blush that is very easy to wear. It is one of those 'I don't have to think what colors to match it with' kind of color, because it truly goes with pretty much everything. I am a neutral kind of girl, nc35 for reference & combo/oily. I find that the color pay-off is pretty decent as well, when I pair this with MAC's prep & prime spf50 it lasts all day long, which is a huge plus. Also I find the color to be very buildable, has a matte texture that is so different from my Nars blushes, no glitter, no sheen, just a dusty muted pink/brown/slightly bronzey color on me. The only downside I can think is that it can sometimes be a little boring, so I pair it with some kind of highlighter (Guerlain's meteorites at the moment) and the combination is a pretty one. continued >>

Helped me on my path to discovering blush. I already have red tones in my face and was always scared to add more, and don't look good in cool pinks on the apples of the cheeks as makeup artists at department stores were fond of putting on me. But this one is not red or cool pink, and not peach or orange but a rich neutral pinky-brown. It's also matte. The color and finish are good for contouring.
I'm no MAC addict, but they have a great range of colors in most products - including blush, and they also have a good selection of mattes. This is the subtle, flattering color I wasn't finding elsewhere. And it compliments my skin and just about every lip and clothing color. Looks like it would flatter many skin tones as well as it does mine.
It's pigmented and lasts a long time but is slightly more difficult to blend than some other powders, I've noticed - but worth it.

I bought this on a whim when looking for neutral blushes. However, this just ended up looking dirty and dull on me, luckily the staying power wasn't so great, so it rubbed off to normal looking in a couple of hours. I'm better off sans blush in this case.

This blush is almost right for my skin tone, but not quite. It's workable, but I need something a little pinker. I love the blush itself, however - goes on light but allows you to build, so you can choose your intensity. Great staying power, and feels good on my skin.
