Pleasantly surprised by this blush. I'm NC25 and thought it would be too orange for me, but it gives a nice warm flush. This will rival my all time fave mac blush which is Springsheen :) Applies well and not too shimmery.

I love this color. I only have one other MAC blush (coppertone) which I like ok, but I seem to really have to work to get it to show up. Peachtwist is a really nice bronzy peach that has GREAT color payoff and just a little bit of shimmer. One of the mua's helped me pick it out and I'm sooo glad she did. It's my all time favorite so far.

I love this! Its similar to ambering rose but a bit lighter and more bronzy.Im getting very fond of these sorts of colours and with the weather improving,its nice to look glowy.It lasts ages on my skin and looks good with most shades of eye makeup.

This is an amazing product for someone with my skin tone... I'm NC 25-30 (depending on the season)... and it really is a gorgeous colour that looks like a bronzer and blush all in one.

Staying power is great, and it is easy to blend.

Highly recommend.

This is quite a lovely blush, Very sunkissed looking on my nc45 skin. I prefer to use coppertone right now and this in the summer when i get a little darker, but definetely a great one to add to the stash and definetely a nice switch from format which is lovely to but wanted to change. When i was pregnant format made me glow. But this color is beautiful and i apply it with my 187.

I finally found an HG blush! I had been looking for an everyday peachy blush to go with my NC37-40 skin that would give me a natural flush without looking OTT or muddy and the MA suggested this. I was gonna get Style also because I heard it was also a must have for my skin tone but it looked too ashy. It's nice and build able and not too shimmery like I find my other sheertone blushes. I'm so glad I got this! My only complaint is that the stay power isn't so great so it loses a lippie since I have to reapply during the day. But it's still a great blush!

this is one of my HG blushes! it gives me 'the glow' i've been looking for on my NC40 skin. This is similar to Sunbasque but darker. in the pan, it looks like a reddish-coral (i suck at describing colors) but it gives me the ultimate peach-bronze glow on my cheeks which is awesome. i'm not sure if this color has a pink tone to it or not. the lasting power is good IMO. i apply this blush using MAC 168. this is the blush that i keep using constantly.. i put this blush on,with mascara & my fave l/g.. and i'm good to go already.

Would i buy this again?: maybe.

UPDATE: since i get fairer, this blush is a bit too red on me no matter how light i apply it.. =(

I received a pro pan of this in a sale last summer and at the time, it was too much for my complexion. I was using the 168 to apply it with and my cheeks looked way overdone and striped. Now I use the 187 to stipple the color onto my cheeks for a healthy glow.
To me, there's nothing peachy looking about Peachtwist. It's a dark pink, bronzy shade with shimmer. The shimmer isn't overkill either, although it looks like a lot in the pan.
The best part to me, is that it imparts a gorgeous pink/bronze glow on my cheeks, almost like I've been out in the sun for a while.
I'm so glad I've started using this again.

I love this blush!! It adds a natural highlight to my face and seems to be the perfect color for me. It's not too pink, and not too "bronze" It actually appears a little more bronze/orange in the package than it does once applied. The intensity can be easily built up by more application. There isn't all that unnatural shimmer in the product. Overall, I have been very pleased.

Love this peachy, warm blush on my C7 skin! Gives me such a subtle, shimmery glow. I like to add my Gold Deposit MSF as a highlighter when I'm going out to really make it pop. Will definately become a staple :)

i went to mac today to return the peaches blush i bought yesterday for this. i swatched peachtwist on my hand and ended up not liking it! i was looking really forward to buying this from all the rave reviews from the nc40ish girls. this blush looked to warm against my skin tone. it looks very similar to sunbasque, which i LOVE, except peachtwist was actually darker on me!

Oh oh my!! This blush is my HG now!! Its super pretty on my cheeks. I used to use Raizin, it was really good, but this one gives this really peachy looking glow to my face, instead of the unnatural red to my cheeks, which im so used too.

I actually went into mac since I was going out for drinks and needed a nice blush that was abit more intense then my 'plumfoolery' blush that i was using. So the SA suggested this since it goes well with my tan skintone. So i kinda just bought it anyways since i really needed a blush, but anyways when i got home and i was trying the colour out...i really loved it. It works well for theday as well...just don't put as much blush on...
Overall i will def buy this again!

love this blush! it warms up my already warm complexion soo much, lol. it gives a really healthy, natural flush. the texture is smooth, blendable and it's versatile with many eye looks. the only problem in the price... i find $17 a blush pretty expensive since my other favourite blush (santa rose from rimmel) cost $2.

I love all mac blushes. I want to try them all some day. I have used 6 different mac blushes so far, and my favorite was peachkeen. The sales person at Mac said this PeachTwist is the popular one, so I picked it expecting it would turn out comparable to peachkeen. But, there's a certain difference. This Peachtwist seems more peachy, orange, and bronze color on me than pink/coral color. I personally prefer Pink and coral in slight peach shade. This is not a horrible product, and it does its job well but it appears too bronze and shiny on my skin (I use NW20). But, if I want to minimize the pink tone on my cheek and maximize the pure peach color, I'd definitely use this blush :)

This is a wonderful summer blush. It is a peachy bronze, with golden shimmer. I tend to use very cool toned pink blushes in winter, but this doesn't make me look orange or muddy as many peach/bronze blushes do, neither does it just turn pinkish. Although the colour looks violent in the pan, once on it's very flattering (it IS quite pigmented so you still need a light hand if you're fair, but it's very do-able!). Could use it more as an all over bronzer, too. The shimmer is subtle and the overall look is sultry and glowing - very sexy.

After relying on my trusted MAC Sheertone Shimmer blush in Peachykeen daily, I decided to be a little more adventurous and venture out to try a new blush. Loving the texture and pigmentation of MAC's Sheertone Shimmer blushes because they seem to make my skin glow, I looked for another in that range.

I'm a huge fan of peachy blushes!! Peachtwist is a really nice peachy colour, a more sunkissed and golden colour compared to Peachykeen, which is a peachy colour but more on the pink-ish side in comparison. I really do love Peachtwist for the beach, sunkissed look. And now that I'm a little tanner in the summer, it blends beautifully with my skin tone without the hassle of careful blending. Although I slightly anticipate that during the colder seasons, I may have to be a little more careful when it comes to putting on that blush.

My personal preference would be to use Peachtwist as my staple blush during the warmer seasons and Peachykeen esp for spring.

For reference, I'm an NC30, brown eyes with reddish brown hair.

OMG. this blush is amazing. Where has it been all my life?!!? Its the perfect color. It IS highly pigmented, so after you get a bit on your brush I'd suggest blowing lightly on it to get rid of excess. I can't wait to try it with different looks. It isn't overly frosty and it is the PERFECT shade. I think that anyone could get away with wearing this. HG status for sure!

i love this blush!!! i asked my brother to buy this as one of his presents for me. i super love this on my NC40 skin tone. it looks natural. its like i just came from a beach and my cheeks are glowy. i love that look!!! very very natural. i think this is the first blush that i'll be emptying the pan but for sure i'll purchase another if that happens. try this and you'll surely love it!
