This is an awesome blush on my NC25 skin. It looks like a dirty brown in the pot, but goes on as a nice bronzy color. I use it on the apples of my cheeks in addition to my regular bronzer. Great product! Would repurchase.

I got this from my local cco. It's a matte light brown with some red undertones. I use this for contouring and it is totally buildable. It goes on very light, a light brown so for contouring my face I need to swipe 3-4 layers of it on my face.
I'd prefer if it was darker and more pigmented for a contour color

Great nude, natural blush. I'm a very fair, neutral skin tone and this works quite well for me.

This isn't one of those exciting blushes, and won't bring attention to your cheeks, but I think that's kind of the point. I like to use this when I am doing a dramatic eye and nude lip, or when I am doing red lips and need neutral cheeks. This will not make your cheeks "pop"...it's very much for a natural flush. It isn't pink on me...I could almost use it as a bronzer, but it isn't quite brown enough on me for that. It could also be a great contour color. Perfect for those days when you want a lot of color everywhere else and need something on your cheeks that WON'T register as color, but will warm your skin up a bit.

Highly recommended for what it is...all-purpose, neutral, wear-with-almost-anything blush for fair-to-medium skin tones.

Total HG for me - wanted contour without shimmer and this delivers - will become a staple.

MAC Prism is ok, but not total love on my NC40 skintone. It's a light neutral pink with a slight warm tone to it. It does give a very natural glow, which is what I like about it .. but due to how light it is .. it definitely takes a few swipes to get it to show up. This blush is great paired with smokier eyes, and a dusting of Honour on top to give it a hint of shimmer and a bit more warmth. This is the perfect "natural" blush though .. just not one I reach for very often.

This is an ok blush. The SA told me it would go nicely with my coloring (nc30/35). It's an ok color; but tends to look a little ruddy on me. I use it with a stippling brush to apply. It's a nice pink/brown color. Looks like it might be better suited to contour vs being used as an actual blush.

TOTAL POINTS: 27 of 30 = very good

For me, the best blush if you have very fair to fair skin and want to look more tanned, without getting a glow or shimmer. Also recommandable for contouring!
Very natural finish, you don't need much product. Great for every day - fits nearly every look!

A great blush for a few different skintons. I am a c3 in Studio Fix. It's very, very natural, so don't expect for your cheeks to pop or anything. It's meant to be a natural color, not to make anything stand out. More for contouring, if you will. Great if you're doing WOW eyes with WOW lips! You can't be 'wow!' on everything. :) Excellent for a bold red lip or bright pastel eyes with pastel lip look.

The first couple times I tried this, I wasn't impressed. It didn't appear to be showing any colour on my skin.

Then I applied it in much better 'natural' lighting, and now I really like it. The reason I didn't notice it before, is because it looks so natural on my skin. Applying it in good light, I actually saw how it applied a natural colour to my cheeks.

It's a nice pinky-tan. I look forward to using it in the winter- when I am super pasty.

Nice natural colour, when you want a really natural shade.

I'm NC20 for reference.

Great contour colour for fair skin. It's buildable and blendable and looks natural when applied properly. I'll buy this product again. I might check out the darker colour first though.

Good blush, beautiful in the package. It goes on nice and little goes a long way. However, it does NOT look like it does in the package on my skin. I guess it is just me, I'm fairly pale, and it looks almost orangey-brown on me. I wish it looked the way it does in the palette, its so pretty but it just doesn't :( I think I will exchange it for something else.

I used to love peachy-ish blushes, but this doesn't really look all the good on my skin. It makes me look sort of tan, like I'm wearing darker foundation that my normal skin color. It's okay, I like that it's Matte, but other than that, I don't like the color payoff. =(

This is my favorite blush ever. I know that on some people this looks dirty, too brown or whatever. But on my fair, yellow-toned skin, this truly is a prism. It never, ever clashes with the other colors I'm wearing, either on my face or my clothes). Gorgeous! And since it's isn't shimmery, I can wear it to work.

Prism is a brown blush that made my medium yellow toned cheek look dirty, almost like I had an old bruise that was healing. Will return for Peachiness...

I like MAC in some things (thier beautiful Minerlized natural powder) but I've been to MAC 3 times in 2 days, I tried this ONCE and I hate the color, makes my NC30-35 skin look kinda dirty, I was looking for a glow but this is not it. I also hated Blushbaby.

I went out to MAC for Babyblush but the MA suggested me this one. "It would suit me better than Babyblush". I'm glad she adviced me this one! It is perfect for everyday use and I can make it more intense for night time. the color is nothing special, not a WOW effect, but that was not what I was looking for anyway. If you are looking for a good blush, with natural finish I would say: go and check this shade out. BUT: beware: this is a MATTE blush so it takes a little time to blend it out and it is easier to make mistakes with my 168 brush it's easy!

What is it about this blush that I don't like... I really don't like the color on me, I'm pale and it looks quite "brown" on my cheeks, yikes! I know that it is a favorite to many people, but I think their skin tone is better suited for it. I feel a bit duped. I went to the MAC counter looking for "angel" and they were all out, so the MA suggested this one instead for me. I should've returned it, but I really wanted to like this color. Just not right for me:(

I absolutely love this blush! I have medium skin that's slightly [very slightly] yellow. In the container it looks like a dirty brown/pink [which is actually it's description] but when put on it doesn't look bad. It's actually perfect for me because it makes me look like I've been running. Not exactly like a marathon runner, but maybe a quick jog,LOL. There's no hints of brown once it's on. I would definitely repurchase and I reccomend this color to everyone.It's also very easy to put on.

This is my HG blush, I use it nearly everyday (I'm NC27-30) it gives me a little colour but still looks natural. Will definitely repurchase!
