Definite must have for women of color. Offers a great brown/plum look without over the top shimmer. Reminds me of Love Joy with less shimmer.

I love to use this blush on darker skin tones. It looks so beautiful. It has a lot of pigment to it. Gorgeous.

I absolutely love this blusher. My complexion is NW45 and this is a great bronze tone with a hint of rose pink. Very flattering on dark skins and is the sort of shade that would suit most people. I use this as my everyday natural blush. A must buy!

Oh my God, I can't say enough good things about this blush! I was honestly feeling that I would never find a blush I liked, let alone a powder blush! Every blush I've ever tried has either been ashy or prostitute. I tried it on at the counter first and I wasn't sure of it, but once I got into different lighting, I absolutely fell in love! It's gorgeous and understated, but still noticeable. This is my HG blush.

This is a very pretty color and shows up well on my olive, AA complexion. It has hints of plum, brown with golden. I think its great for everyday use.

i bought this today after a friend of mine with a similar complexion recommended it!i tried it instore and just had to buy it!basically its a more goldy-shimmery version of Raizin which i already own. although they are similar, this differs in the fact that its more like a bronzer with a redness that has a hint of gold. i usually hate the idea of anything lookin remotely glitterly on my face but, like others have also mentioned, this has just the right amount to keep it flattering! great on dark skin!! MAC blushes last ages aswel so for £14 you get a lot for your money!i use Raizin all the time alongside my studio fix (NW50) and it looks virtually untouched in the pan so a lil goes a long way but i'll be taking a break to use this!!

GGG's and DDD's this is a blush that needs to be a fixture in your makeup stash! Sweet As Cocoa is a pinkish-brown sheer blush that is easy to wear. Dusted unto the apples of youe cheeks it imparts a nice glow. Not chalky. Not spotty. Works well with a stipling brush or a contoured blush brush. Lighter girls this would make a lovely fall/winter blush dusted on lightly w/ a fan brush.

MY HG! Shimmery but not OTT, it's rosey brown, great for my NC40 bronzer obsessed face. This is a alternative to bronzer as it gives a nice rosey cheek in one.

I really wanted this for a long time so I am on the fence with this one. Onmy coloring it has a tendency to look very dirty. Im not sure if that is becuase I am used to NARS orgasm or if this is an off color for me. A very shimmery raisin color nice but not sure if I would buy again.

The only nice thing about this is the adorable name but apart from that this just looked MUDDY and horrible on my NC30 complexion. I swapped it the day I got it :(

I love this blush! Looks like an icky dark brown in the pan, but goes on a heathy toasted rosy shade. Mimics the look of Nars Lovejoy on my Nc25-30is skin. I'd probably repurchase Lovejoy over this one, but I truly enjoy having this blush and will use it up.

Such a pretty berry brown blush. Am an NC25, and it gives me a snow white look when lightly applied. It looks especially good when applied lightly with a stipple brush over Poppy Convertible Color. One of my fave combinations.

Awesome. I'm a MAC NC42 and this looks great on me, BUT it is very very dark, so if you're makeup inept like me, this may be a littel dangerous. I think its lovely, but proceed with caution. :)

Beautiful! Brownish plum/rose on me, and the shimmer is very fine, unlike my NARS blushes, which I still love. Love it!!

Sweet as Cocoa...great color, just the right about of shimmer and pigmentation. This is what I wanted Metal Rock MSF to be and more. I'm not sure how to describe this but I would definately put the word 'chocolate' somewhere in there. It's that and pink...and plummy...and rosey depending on your skintone and how much is applied. I was looking for a darker "bronzer" type blush for my palette and C7 skin, this fit the bill perfectly. I would definately buy this again.

I would highly recommend this Sheertone Shimmer Blush for darker skin tones (I'm NC50). It's a beautiful plummy-pink-brown shade and the shimmer is not overwhelming. Goes on sheer but can be easily layered for more intense colour.

I was initially scared to try this color because it looked extremely dark in the pan. It looked like a very deep rosy/plummy brown color with lots of shimmer, and since I am an NC30 skintone, I thought it might look too severe on me. However, since it is a Sheertone Shimmer formulation, it goes on like it says- sheer with a touch of shimmer. It gives the most beautiful rosy brown flush, and does a good job of emphasizing cheekbones without looking like racing stripes. The shimmer is just enough to impart a natural glow... nothing garish. My only gripe with this blush, as well as with other MAC blushes tried (only tried the Sheertone Shimmers so far) is that they are not as soft and finely milled as, say NARS blushes. They are a little bit on the gritty side and are a little more difficult to blend. Aside from the slight textural issues, this is a gorgeous and unique color and one of my new favorite blushes!

This is a beautiful mauve brown blush with a hint of shimmer. Great blush for DDDs that are looking for a nice natural blush.
