I'm in between with this. I just got it from a purchase and while I DO love how nice it looks over blush, I think it's a tad too glittery for morning use. It is PERFECT though for using at night, and looks amazing over a soft pink blush as well. great highlighter.

Won't be buying again though because I feel this one will last me forever, as it won't be a staple day to day for me in my stash.

I don't know where all these neg. reviews are coming from but personally I love this stuff! i use the champagney color over top of any bronzer/contouring color i have on then use the light pink color along with the middle color over top of my blush.. its beautiful! Although there is shimmery some may say glittery ness to it.. its still beautiful and yes i love all that glitters shimmers/ is pink hahah ... the only reason i said i wouldn't repurchase this is ill probably never run out and i love trying new things.. everything anything i can.. so yea

I swear this blush makes me look like a supermodel!!!!!!! I love it!!!!
I contour with my bronzer, then I apply the darkest berry shade on the highest part of my cheek bones with a mac 168 brush and blend towards my temples..then use the light pink shade to Highlight my nose my chin and a little above cheek bones right under the outer corner of my eyes. It looks awesome!!!!!! I don't use the gold shade, its a little to glittery for my taste but I love the other two.

Hate it. Glitter, no pigment or color just a ton of glitter. This was my first MAC MSF and i am not impressed. I am hoping they arn't all this way, because seriously this just doesn't do anything for me. Sorry MAC i know we are all suppose to love everything you make but this product is just pointless :(

One of my favorite MSFs!!!! i love that it is a gradient, so i can mix the three colors together, or use them separately. i have cool toned skin and finding a really pretty, cool-toned blush is hard b/c a lot of them seem to have warmer hues, but these three shades of pink are all def cooler toned and are so pretty!!!

Must be a hit or miss type of product! This is one my fave MSF from Mac. Use a light hand with it and it's a great highlighter! I don't think it has as much glitter in it compared to other highlighters out there. I love that there's 3 strips of colors so it's like 3 colors in one, or you can swirl your brush in it and use all 3 together! Like others mentioned must be personal preference!

Really gorgeous raspberry pink shimmery blush. I am generally heavy handed when it comes to blush however, this gives my NC 35-40 skin tone a soft glow. It's just enough colour without over doing it. Really nice and SHIMMERY. Some may say that it's sparkly...and I'm ok with that. I am 25 so that doesn't bother me but I can see how those a little more "mature" may not like how sparkly it is. However, this will last me forever!!!

I'm sorry but I love this as my highlighter PLUS I love it as an MES. If I use Fix+ and use it as an eyeshadow it's beautiful. It's like a 2 in 1 :) AND it's portable. I love this. My MAC sold out of this one on the 2nd day so I guess people around my area loves it haha. Personal pref I guess :)

this is cute=), i love the multipurpose make up, this is one of those you wish never finish...i love glow in my cheeks too much better than moonriver(casper look), as eyeshadow looks pretty too, is not long lasting(maybe i need to apply face powder before), but by now is my favorite blush=).

I hd high hopes for this product. I use this as a highlight and all it really does is add a lot so shimmer. There is really no color at all with this. I guess it just doesn't work with my skin tone (nc40/42). I won't buy this again and do not recommend this. I only like it has a highlight when I already have dramatic eyes and a somewhat 'darker' blush.

I was so excited for the "Colour Craft" collection, and knew I was getting this product months before the collection came out, so once it was released I ordered it online and when it arrived my first instint was disappointment as other people have mentioned it is super sparkly and glittery. I love the colours in it, its really pretty but I have to use a really light hand to avoid looking like I got smacked in the face by Liberace. The darker pink in the middle is nice as a blush with just a little of either of the other shades as a highlight. Use sparingly, I imagine this will last for ages!

This is a very pretty color. It's highly frosty though. I use a 181 kabuki and really have to buff it in so I dont look like a pink disco ball is sitting on my cheeks. I think it's absolutely beautiful just a bit too shimmery for me. I have slightly larger poors and it does nothing but accentuate them.

I wouldnt buy again but I'll continue to use this one for a while. This is definately not as smooth as the BBR Msfs though. It's okay but to me really not worth the 27 dollars....

I bought it but returned it. This is serious bling for the face. It is just so glittery and the shimmer particles are so big you look like a disco ball. Outside that of a disco, I cant ever imagine a situation which I could get away with this. If you are after a highlighter, skip this, there are lots of other options out there that are finer and more refined looking; try PSP from Becca. Its so obvious when others wear it and says 'look at me' but not in a good way. This looks like dress-up make up that little kids use. Not a good look. Porcelain pink is slightly more subtle.

This went back to the Mac store yesterday. As others have mentioned, it is super-glittery. No one should wear this much shimmer on their cheeks..not flattering at all.

This is a beautiful raspberry~ish color! It is VERY shimmery, but when applied with the 131 Duo Fibre brush, it casts just the right light handed effect. Just be careful to avoid any areas with larger pores b/c this will highlight them. I personally like to wear all 3 colors blended together and then the top pink to highlight the tops of my cheek bones. YUM!

For ref I have NW20 skin.

Can you say glitterbomb??? My oh my... I thought these MSF's were going to be like the ones released with Blonde Brunette Redhead... wrong!!! This one hardly applies any color, just glitter... Not subtle at all, really obnoxious looking glitter on me... Thought the center raspberry color would be much more pigmented... Sigh... a definite miss for MAC.

When Colour Craft collection came out, I was so excited. I wanted this MSF so bad when I saw it. It had three beautiful colors that could have been used in different ways, which would have been a great buy!

Yet, when I got it finally, I was very disappointed with the product. First off, the MSF was too glittery, which was bad for my pores because of the emphasis. Next, darkest color of the three was too dark for my skin tone. Overall, I really wanted to like this product, but it's not for me.

Bought this as the colour combinations caught my eye and I knew i could get multi use from it (blush, highlighter, eyeshadow)

I do like it, however it may be a bit too glittery for day wear / work wear and the pink shade in the middle is a bit dark for my skin (i'm NW15)

Like the other reviewers here, this MSF seemed to catch my eyes more than the others that came out with the color craft collection. But contrary to what others have said, it was a bit more glittery than I expected (the brown color especially). That being said, I only had one MSF before and it was refined- a MSF with basically zero glitter. But, I'm still happy that I bought it. The deeper color in the middle was a lot darker than the online swatches mac had but I love it anyway. Overall, I like this MSF because of the pink colors- it can triple as a blush, highlight and eyeshadow.

I voted no as far as buying again because I am fickle and in my 20 plus year addiction to makeup, only the original OPI My Private Jet made it to the repurchase status.

That said, I love how this looks on me. I am NC20, and normally have a hard time with any blushes, plus I am in my 30's so I have to fake that glow I had when i rolled out of bed in my 20's and was able to slick on chapstick and maybe concealer if the hangover was that bad.

It is a bit of a raspberry color, and is not too glittery. i like to swirl my skunk brush over all three colors and layer lightly over my Hello Kitty pink blush (can't remember the name, sorry, but the bright pink one). Then maybe add a touch of the gold color on my nose, and the light pink under my browbone and in the inner corner of my eyes. I look like I slept 10 hours.
