Bought this at a CCO. It's smaller than I thought it was going to be, I wouldn't pay full price for it, but I do like it a lot. I'm very light skinned and it took several layers of the blush side to show up, so I only use it as a highlighter. I use 1 swirl including blush and marble side as the highlight but I really like it with the flower mist dew powder. Wouldn't buy it again though cuz I have iridescent powder in silver dusk which I love as a highlighter also.

I bought this at my cco yesterday. Its a pretty coral peach color. It's pretty pigmented so I use a light hand to apply this blush this to my face. Try this blush you might like it :D

Moon River is the most beautiful MAC blush I've ever owned. Seriously. Even though I've only gotten really into MAC recently this is my go to blush. I layer it and layer it for night time and it looks gorgeoussssss and I don't need a highlighter obviously when I do this. But, I do use this as a highlighter when I wear other blushes or I put a layer of this over my other blushes. It's so damn pretty and a shame that it was LE. I get a lot a lot a lot a lot of compliments on this. I think it would be flattering on any skintone even as a highlighter. So if you can get a hold of this, DO IT!

This is probably my favourite of all the blushes I own. I think this is the perfect colour for the pale skinned (I can't imagine this working on anything except very pale skin - except as a highlighter perhaps).

I use the pink side as blush and the bluish-white marble side as a highlighter (usually not at the same time - shimmer overload), and I love the luminous effect it gives my skin.

Would definitely repurchase if I could find it anywhere.

I'm a NC25...and yes, you have to apply this in stages to get it to show up...but after you do...the effect is lovely! After working with this a while, I have come to adore this! Fabulous addition to anyone's collection! :)

I received this in a swap. Whilst the design is absolutely stunning, when I put it on my cheeks it just looks slightly glittery. I'm an NC20, a true PPP, and the colour doesn't show up at all! I even tried it as a highlight, but it still just looks like some faint glitter that you can only see in certain lights.
Don't be fooled but that picture above where it shows you swatches of Moon River. I think to get colours that pigmented you'd have to scrub really hard on the product!

This is not very pigmented so it requires heavy application in order for it to show up on my NW20 skin. I used to use the "moon" side of this duo as a highlighter on my cheek bones, and the other side as a blush. It gave a really cool sheen to my cheeks. I just wish it were more highly pigmented. However, it is blendable, buildable, and it lasts all day even despite my skin getting oily. Also it isn't streaky, which is good.

I randomly found this at a CCO in Palm Springs but it has turned out to be a HG blush for me. It's a lovely, pale pink with beautiful shimmer on one side and other side has swirls of pinks, pale blues, & lavender shimmer. It makes my face light up and glow like nothing else. A romantic, sweet color and it really lasts. LOVE it.

I was thrilled to find this blush/highlighter at CCO. I think it is versatile as you can use just the lavendar/white portion to impart the best highlight or you can use just the pink/peach part for a great blush or swirl the two together for a glowy cheek color. The highlight part is one of the best highlighters I have ever used (and I have ALOT of highlighters). I recommend this for fair skin to use as a blush. Darker skin tones can also use this but I would think it would be more of a highlighter than a blush.

I saw this at a CCO and decided to buy it (it was cheap enough, why not?) and I am so upset I didn't buy 2! Finally a blush that doesn't look too bright on me! Gorgeous pale pink with the slightest highlight to it, Love it

I am in love with moon river! It is my go-to holy grail highlighter! I use the lighter side as a highlighter for my cheek bones and brow bones, and the darker pink side for a blush. Even though I am asian with yellow undertones, this looks great as a blush and adds a bit of shimmer! If you don't like shimmer, you will NOT like this product. But it really does add a nice glow to your skin.

This color is a peachy pink on one side and swirls of pink, white, gold and purple and both sides are super shimmery. So shimmery it could probably be used as a highlight. This blush looks gorgeous in the pot but kinda blah on my skin. In the winter I am very fair and still only gives me a tiny bit of color and a super shimmery color at that. I usually only use the pink side on my cheeks and obviously the shimmery swirled side for highlight. I never mix the two. I love mineralized blushes but this one is just not for me. I would not buy this again, in fact it's on my swap list right now.

This is my HG night time highlighter, I know my cheeks are going to look beautiful when I use this. It's a pale frosty shimmery pink with a blue undertone. I use the lighter side for highlighting and the darker pink side as a blush for a different occassion. Love it!

I'm soo glad that I picked this up while it was available, because it is truly beautiful. This was the only duo that really appealed to me out of the whole lot. It's a very pretty light pink on one side and then a finely milled pearlescent highlighter on the other. It can be worn different ways...technically three. I hope that they bring it back from those that were unable to purchase it the first time around, since it is such an unusual MAC find!

This looked really cute in the pot, but the pigmentation didn't deliver. The highlight side is too silvery on my NC30 skin and the blush is too peach.

This blush has very low colour payoff and is very glittery. Its more of a highlighter but when I used this I had major fallout. The shimmer particles are very big so its a bit too much for everyday wear. I would not recommend that this be used as a blush since it will make your cheeks look oily and too reflective. Maybe just a little as highlighter, but MSFs are better for that.

This is a pretty highlighter for my NC30 skintone. If I use a heavy hand for this product it could pass as a nice shimmery blush. Its quite pretty.
