I like this color a lot. It reminds me of the beach. It's like a metallic pink-coral color. I think it would even look better on darker skin. (I'm super pale) Super pigmented. Best used as a base/lid color. I don't find it easy to blend.

The most gorgeous light rose pink that's not too warm toned (by warm, I mean turning bronzey or orangy)! it doesn't make your eyes look sickly or swollen, which is rare to find in a pink. Texture is great, no fallout surprisingly as a ton of mac pigments tend to fly everywhere. This is one of the few mac pigments I love and use. Will look for a sample or a vial of this (I got mine as a sample through I swap)

this is one of my most used &favorite pigments. the color is just gorgeous! i like pairing it w/ mac vanilla pigment, lily white pigment or a frosty white eyeshadow. i only buy sample jars, and i used one to press it into an eyeshadow pan. i should be set for a while now.. but i'll always repurchase this when i'm running low :) continued >>

I bought this 4 years ago. I love this color for spring. It is a nice pink that wont make you look like you have allergies.

I would describe it as a light rose pink pigment.
Itīs not a super exciting color, but it is very beautiful.
Itīs frost, and not glittery.
I normally wear only Apricot Pink (with a wet or dry brush) with a plum, eggplant, violet, black or brown eyeliner, I donīt even need a crease color. Beautiful and understated.
I am sure it could be used as a lip color or cheekbone highlighter, but I prefer to use pigments as eyeshadows.

A beautiful, vibrant, shimmery pink with no trace of apricot in it. Goes on quite nicely, I find this pigment to be less messy than another one that I have (Sunnydaze). Today I paired it with Moth Brown, it's a nice combo. I rarely use pink but when I do, I turn to Apricot Pink because it's a no brainer for me - not too dark and not too light. I even wear this shade to the office.

This is one of the more versatile and fun pigments out there. If MAC ever re-promotes this shade, I would probably pick up another full size jar. This color looks like a bright mid-tone pink in the jar, but it’s really a lovely baby pink that can be used as a lip color (either alone as a gloss or a swipe over lipstick for more depth and sheen), a cheek color *looks like Petticoat on my cheeks), a highlight color for the eyes and it even makes a really pretty pink nail color for toes. This is pretty much everything I always wanted Rose to be, except Rose is chucky and impossible to work with and Apricot Pink is so finely milled with a wonderful texture. One of my top picks for pigments!!

I have no idea why they named this Pink Apricot considering that there is not a trace of apricot in the color. A previous reviewer described it correctly when she said that it is a semi-bright pink with mauve undertones. The mauve undertones are more obvious when applied than it is in the jar. I can see this color looking really beautiful on someone with a cool toned pale complexion. On me, a NC 35, it looks as good as any pinky mauvey color is ever going to look...pretty, but not beautiful.

One of my all time fav pigments! This really is a multi use product. I use it as a highlighter and and eye shadow. One of my favorite combos is Apricot pink on the lid and a soft brown in the crease. Really looks great on my dark brown eyes. I already own the full size so I will not be purchasing again as it will last me a lifetime! Beautiful color, at least get a sample, you will not be sorry you did!

I agree with the reviewer below that says if MAC ever repromotes this it's worth buying full size. I would also run and buy a jar...pretty soft peach apricot color, love the name and its lovely shade for daytime or nighttime.
3.25.08 Wearing this today and I realize on me it appears a medium silvery mauve rosey pink. I dont detect any apricot in it at all. Its a really pretty color blends very well and I've gotten alot of compliments so far. Buy it if you can still find it. :-)

I'd pounce on the chance to get a full size if MAC ever repromotes. In the jar it looks like a shocking pink, kind of like a fuchsia with coral mixed in. Once I applied it, it looked wonderful. The texture feels a little dusty though, but it's worth it.

I hope MAC comes back with a re-promote of this product, because I would definitely buy a fullsize when/if they do! Unlike many MAC color names, this one is apt - it is a pink infused with an apricot-peach-gold hue - normally I'm not much of a fan of this type of color, but the overall impression you get is unmistakeably pink. I got this as a sample and thought I would hate it from looking at it in the pot. I was wrong. It is a pretty, girly color that can work everywhere - on eyes, lips, and cheeks. I wear this with a plum shade smudged in the crease - what a great color to make my brown eyes pop! There is shimmer, but not a disco-ball level - I can confidently wear this look to work without feeling self-conscious. However, I don't think this is necessarily a shade everyone can wear on the eyes - I'd get a sample first. If it doesn't work for you as eyeshadow, try it on your lips or as a cheek highlight! This is the thing I love about pigments - so versatile in their uses.

I love this pigment! It's the perfect semi-bright pink with some mauve undertones on me. The texture is nice to, and very easy to work with. And $20 for a 7.5 gram jar of this stuff is actually not a bad price at all!

The color can be lighter or darker depending on how much is applied.

I got this as a sample in a swap. It is pink, mauve, with little gold flecks, really looked pretty in the jar but not on my lids, when I wear this I look like I was very tired and did not have enough sleep. I would not buy this.

Oh my I agree with reviewer below: it'd be hard coming out with a more perfect pink than this one. It's glowy, vibrant, great for wearing on its own or paired with a purple e/s. (in pic paired with Bare Escentuals Devotion on crease)

I just tried this out today (after getting an entire jar of it!). Surprisingly, it doesn't make my eyes look puffy or like i have an eye infection at all. It looks really nice in the outer 1/2 of the lid, with Subtle pigment in the crease. Good colour payoff and excellent, non-flaky texture - this is a definite keeper! I can imagine it would be good on cheeks when used with a very light hand for nights out :)
EDIT: My new love is to use this for cheeks! I use a light 'base' colour to really define my cheekbones first - usually MAC Soft Dew beauty powder - then lightly apply this and build up intensity. It really mimicks the effect of an MSF.

Would you buy this product again? YES YES YES This is my favourite pigment. I pretty much use this in the inner crease daily and when I want a fresh glowy pink look I use it on the whole lid. So beautiful. It was my first full size pigment and I plan on making sure I always have it on hand. I wish MAC would have made this one of their core pigments.
