I love MAC cream blushes. I've used other "cream" blushes before and they are usually either too thick and don't apply well, too thin and go everywhere, or are just not pigmented enough to be worth the money. I've purchased both posey and so sweet so easy and they are both wonderful for my NC15-NC20 face. I usually use just a little of posey under a powder blush to give myself a little bit of a healthier glow, instead of just a powder that just looks like its painted on the face. I find it lasts all day and if I want a brighter cheek, a heavier application does the trick. I wish they weren't so expensive, but I will be repurchasing.

LOVE this cream blush! I bought Posey a few months ago and used it once and then kind of forgot about it. I pulled it out a few days ago and have been using it constantly! It truly gives a "just pinched" or "just out of the sun" look to my face. I can't get enough of it. It's pretty easy to over apply, which I am guilty of because I get carried away, LOL. However, I find that using a stipling type brush works the best because it blends in beautifuly and just melds with the skin. Applying with my fingers left it too unatural looking. This is my go-to blush for sping!

I love this! I found about it from Kandee Johnson's videos and i really wanted to get it. the skin is looking so fresh with this on. blending with fingers takes a little bit more time to blend it out seamlessly. so now i apply it with my sigma contour brush (which sheds haha) , but i find blending with a brush is much easier. it will last forever because you just need a tiniest amount. it's very expensive though - bought in on eBay for 29 USD.

Gorgeous colour, really does give that 'pinched' look! (I'm NW25) Only a really tiny bit is needed, so it lasts ages and is good value for money!

i got this today because i'm am the type of girl who loves the bright fuchsia colors. it's a very sheer color on me( nw45 in mac terms) so i have to build it up on my skin a little. i'm not a big fan of creme blushes on my skin but this one doesn't leave my face feeling/looking oily.

I love love love blushes in cream form and MAC definetely makes the best ones along with Nars. Posey is a brighter and more pigmented younger sister of Ladyblush, my HG creamblush from MAC. I need to go very light handed with Posey, otherwise I look like a doll. But great color for that pinched look. Don't be fooled with the dark bright color in the pan, it applies very sheer. Make sure you use a suitable brush, never with fingers as I see some people do. It looks blotchy and too heavy when applied with fingers.

HG blush. This stuff is so good that I purged my blush collection down to 5 other must-haves. I haven't even touched these other blushes since I bought the Blushcreme, but I can't seem to get rid of them, maybe for sentimental reasons. The color is perfect and extremely pigmented. Literally, a dab will do ya. I use my fingers (*hangs head in shame*) because it just seems easier to blend that way. It's easy to overdo it with this stuff, so I try to apply with a light hand. The staying power is pretty excellent as well, despite the fount of oil that is my face. I can't say enough good things about this blush.

OMG this stuff is amazing. I am a total blushcreme addict but posey is just adorable. A MUA'er friend of mine ROAK'ed me a sample and I am now hooked! I had been lemming it for a long time then went to purchase. When I saw it in the pan I was turned off! It looks so bright and too dark. So I decided not to get it. Then I saw my friends profile pic in which she looked fantastic, and it tuns out she's wearing posey! She sent me a sample and it was instant love. As mentioned previously, a little goes a looooooong way. I use my MAC 187 brush and gently stipple it on then buff in. It gives a lovely, natural but noticeable flush of pink colour. It lasts all day on me even without a setting powder. I'm NC30 with dark brown hair and eyes and my skin is normal/dry for reference. I have tried nearly all the MAC blushcremes and I would say posey, ladyblush and lillicent are my faves. If anyone is interested here is a pic of me wearing posey blushcreme.

UPDATE 18.2. 2011
This is still HG for me. I adore this blush and rumour is they are DISCONTINUING it- what the hell?!!!! Why? Will be buying and swapping for back ups for sure! X

This blush looks scary in the pan, but once applied it looks beautiful. I am an NC40 and it compliments my skin tone very well. I use a stippling brush, I use a light hand as it is a very bright color, and it blends really well i find that with you're fingers it's a little bit harder to blend. A little goes a long way and it has great lasting power.

This blush looks a bit intimidating in the pan, but it is beautiful on the skin. A little goes a long way and it has great lasting power.

I am starting to loveeee blushcremes! This is a strong color so you have to put it on lightly!! You can always add more if you need so start with a very small amount. With that said it looks great on. The only prob I had was the top part of the compact came off! So it was open and dirt was collecting all over the blush so I had to throw it out :( Other than that I love it and will be buying another one.

This blush is WAY too strong for my skin tone. I'm very, very fair . This looks beautiful if used sparingly, but it's easy to apply too much. I'm mixed about whether or not I like this and I kind of wish I had gotten another color.

This is my first creme blush i'd ever used and i love it! the colour looks really bright in the pan, but once you apply it if looks beautiful! (given you don't apply too much!) its really really pigmented so you only ever need a tiny amount. the first time i applied this, i used my fingers - it was ok, not the best method its just a little harder to blend properly; the second time i used MAC's stippling brush and that works sooo much better! you just get a better distribution and better blending power. when applying with the brush, its best to start off with a tiny amount them built up to the colour u want, becasue i'd imagine it to be hard to remove excess colour.
you'll be left with a nice dewy glow (but not oily), no shimmer, no glimmer. its just a really pretty colour and it lasts all day. i use this especially in winter when my cheeks can get a bit dry.
highly recommend! i will be buying this again!

This is the first mac product i ever bought! I live in Rio de Janeiro, so in the summer i use just the face and body C1 foundation, the ysl touche eclat, this blush and some waterproof mascara! It's the perfect combination for the Rio de Janeiro's infernal heat because it lasts all day long.. it doesn't melt down like powder blushes and i don't have to reapply the product along the day, it really really lasts! It's the perfect blush for a night out too.
the fixation is really amazing, i love it! And the color is great too, i'm very pale and i can pass just a little on the cheeks for a "natural healthy look" or a bit more for more healthiness :) my mother in low is a NW40 and the color works amazing on her too.
First when i bought this, i have a little difficulty applying, but now i'm a pro haha.
It really worths the price and i'm definitely gonna buy another when this one runs out.

I was using this blush for about a week before I had to stop using it because of what it was doing to the skin on my cheeks.
This is the first cream blusher I have tried, and it was ok for the first week until I started to get rash like pimples all over my cheeks. It really didnt agree with my skin. I spoke to someone at MAC and they said I could just return it, which was good because I had already used some, but because they said it looked like an allergy, I could just return it and get my money back!
I guess my skin just didnt like this cream blusher, which is a shame because I do like the colour and you only need a tiny amount, so it would last for ages!
I would not recommend MAC cream blush for sensitive skin, or skin that flares up easily.

Great colour for fair skin, as you can keep it quite sheer or build it up. Gives a nice sheen without being shimmery or sparkly. You can use it as a lip gloss too. It's a wee bit expensive, but lasts for AGES. Will definintely buy again.

Ive been looking for a great cream blush since lancome's blush pomettes. The MAC ones always looked sticky and greasy in the shop amd i was concerned that hey would block my pores and the colour would clump. BUT I went ahead and got this one and I have to say that the texture is not at all how it is in the shop- which i think is down to MAC always wiping a cotton bud across the surface to cover up finger marks. The texture is much less sticky and the colour is really nice. I was after a snow white glow to my Nw15 skin (plus white face & body mixed in)- I use 4 finger dabs on each cheek and blend in. i just got the 188 to use but I think it's gonna be too small for the kind of disffused blush I like. I also use a light powder over the top because I dislike what Dita Von Teese calls 'the greasy supermodel look' - aka dewey. Don't let the ones in the shop put you off.

I am not a big fan of cream blush at all but I absolutely fell in love with POSEY! I am an NW45 girl and this color looks awesome on me! I apply it with my mac 190 brush and wow... i get the color that I am looking for without looking over done at all! Just like with all blush applying with a light hand is important to aviod looking like a clown!


My dark skin ladies (with dry to normal skin) this is a must have blush in my opinion!
