Bought this at Kenosha CCO. BEAUTIFUL natural light golden brown color on my NC45 cheeks. It is basically a me but better color that I wear with bold eyes. It probably would work well as a highlighter, but I use Bare Escentuals RSVP as the highlighter and this as a cheek color. It gives a peachy golden brown shimmer on my cheeks that is simply gorgeous. As the above reviewer said, looks great with Enchantress lip gloss. Highly recommend. As with all MAC blushes in the pot, be careful about dropping them, as several of my plastic protectors have separated from the casing.

WOC, this is a perrrrfect highlighter for ur cheekbones. Reviewers below who referred to this as a neutral highlight r on point. I swear to you, it is neither really golden or bronzey or orangey. It is, to me, the color of light. As if you literally applied some light unto ur cheeks. Beautiful! NW45.

Picked this up at the local CCO and love it! There were only a few left so I deduced it was a good color. After comparing it to 3 other mineralized blushes there, chose this one.


It has a brown-gold tone to it with shimmer. I'm wearing it with NC30 and it looks great on. For darker skintones, it would make a great highlighter. As for when I'm paler, NC25 or below, I have yet to test it out...but it swatched as a brown gold shimmer (no orangeness) on my wrist.


My first brown based mineralized blush but does a great job. Color is buildable and seems to work on all colors (warm/neutral/cool).

I would say it's pretty similar to MAC Trace Gold blush but more shiny and a deeper color payoff. It's great to warm up the cheeks but use a light hand otherwise it's to overpowering. Nothing special but nice to have.

i was pleasantly surprised by this blush. i normally gravitate towards bright cheeks - pinks and peaches, but i saw this on another girl and thought it looked lovely.

it gives a beautiful summery, healthy glow to my cheeks. i'm NC30 and this shows up as a blush on me, not just a shimmery highlight as some have mentioned.

i pair this with enchantress lipgloss with myth lipstick on top, two coats of mascara and i have a surprisingly pretty and very natural looking glow to my face.

I was looking for the MSF cheeky bronze first, which ran out of stock in store. The assistant suggested me try Cheek and Cheerful instead, and it turned out that it's a wonderful fit! If you want something golden orange, shimmering, cool and youthful (not like those girlish tones at all), then this blush can definitely make it.
The only thing I'm worrying about is that it might be too shining on your cheeks for a daily or autumn/winter look. But I'm a fan of shimmer anyway.
I would love to buy it again if I use it up, though I don't think that could ever happen.

This is a really pretty color- a beautiful bright golden peachy color whose name fits it perfectly- but it is more shimmer than actual color. I use this as a highlighter and it gives me a really nice natural glow with a very subtle hint of color. The shimmer isnt so intense that it cant be worn in the day. It is quite subtle, however I cant pull this off as a blush because the shimmer makes me look greasy on my cheeks :( But on the bright side, it lasts all day and looks PERFECT as a highlight color, so for this reason, I would repurchase this item.

I really like this blush because it gives you a nice healthy neutral glow. The website calls it a "mid tone bronzy brown with yellow gold veining." I also think it's a peachy gold color, very similar to MAC's BPB in Eversun (my HG peach blush) and NARS's Luster blush. So if you already have those, you can probably skip this one.
