A little pricey at $21 BUT it lasts for over a year so the price is not so bad. Plus, when it comes down to cheeks - you really wanna make sure you use a good quality product, otherwise you might be left with dark spots when you grow older. As for Gingerly itself, it gives just the right amount of color! On my NC20-25 skin, it looks very nice. I used to use Pink Swoon but that is a little too pink. Gingerly adds the glow and is great for the summer. I'm not sure I would use this for the winter - most likely I will switch to one of the Peach/Pink shades. Gingerly blends well with my bronzer and creates a sexy summer look!

This blush goes with a lot of looks and I really love it all year around for some color. It goes on nice not blotchy and looks amazing.

This gives me a nice healthy glow... like after yoga or something. Very natural. It lasts all day without fading as I was driving around under the sun. Its sheer so you can build up color. I lov this product. No wonder it works for Kim K.

This blush was on my wishlist for a long time and I just got it for Christmas. At first I wasn't sure about it, but once I applied it I fell in love! Its the perfect shade to just warm up my cheeks a little bit without the typical pink or peach cheek I wear practically every day. I'm fairly pale and this still looks nice! The only downfall is that I have to buff it out or it looks terrible! I apply this with an angled blush brush from Sigma and blend it with a kabuki brush. An extra step is not a huge deal, and maybe its the brush's fault - I'm not sure. The bottom line is, this is a great shade of blush for those girls who want to try something different and I will definitely repurchase!

This has been my favorite blush for a long time. Goes well with my skintone, and give me a sunkissed but yet work appropriate look without appearing overdone. It works well with a lot of my lip colors too.

I am probably on my fifth or sixth blush since having found this shade at 14. This is the perfect shade for my skin and is just overall a really flattering color. Love, love, love this blush.

I'm a bit on the fence as to whether or not I'd buy this again. I really like it, but I can't justify the price. Unlike some other reviewers, I have no problem with the pigmentation. I have light-medium, yellow-toned skin and I have to be careful not to swirl my brush too much or else too much gets onto my cheeks. I drag my brush across the surface three times, dab on a tissue a bit, and then apply to my cheeks and this amount of color is noticeable and appropriate for daytime wear.

The color itself is very nice and natural, but nothing MAGICAL which is what I expected for some reason. But when I think about it, there really can't be such thing as a magical blush. It's just really, really nice. The greatest critique I have of this blush is that it isn't very long-lasting. At the end of the day it's gone. I think my splurge on blush in the future will be with the MUFE cream foundation that comes in a pump tube. Those last forever, and have the most natural, pigmented color I've ever seen in a blush.

This barley shows up on my skin tone and I'm not even dark complexioned. I looked up some swatches and thought it would be a nice bronze type blush but I was wrong. Mac products are ridiculously priced in Australia so I buy 99% of the make up from US websites and have it forwarded to Australia, so I don't really have an option to test it before buying. I wish I had bought a more bronzy color which is more pigmented. Also, on my tan complexion all blushes look more or less the same. I'm not an expert at applying make up but I can't really tell that difference when I use different blushes.

One of my best acquisitions of Mac. By the way, this blush is very popular here in Brazil. It gives a very natural and healthy tan looks. I heard that it is one of the favourites blushes of Kim Kardashian. I bought this product because of how the colour looks good not just in Kim but in fair skinned people. Too bad I just can buy Mac in free shops.

EDIT: I've found my HG blush! This goes with EVERYTHING! sigh...it's love in a pan:)
I'm Asian w yellow undertones, light-medium, Mac nc30, Bobbi brown natural 4.0.
I asked the Mac SA for a neutral cheek color that would give me a warm sunkissed glow. She pulled out tenderling and gingerly. Theyre very similiar on me but tenderling has shimmer. I went with gingerly and I love it. Goes w all my eye looks or when i dont have eye makeup. I've been using it everyday sine I got it a few months ago. That's saying a lot since I get bored with makeup fast. I give this 4.5 stars because it's a sheertone and I have to layer it.

I originally was interested because I had heard that Kim K used this, and being that I am about her skin tone, with dark features I thought I might like it. I tried peaches first because I really love that peachy glow on olive skin tones..but peaches looked awful. So I later bought gingerly and oh my gosh I am in love. I can't explain the glow or color this gives. It is a tan, yet bronzed peach, that just makes any tan/olive complexions exotic and fresh back from Bora Bora. Love it! I will continue to repurchase forever. I completely recommend to buy if you are olive/yellow complected!

For the past 5 or 6 years Peachykeen has been my HG blush, I love it but I'm so glad a gave Gingerly a try because all I can say about it is WOW! It's like a blush and bronzer in one, in a nice peachy bronze colour. I imagine this would suit a rather large variety of skin tones, it looks really good on mine (NC40-42). It's a sheertone but buildable as well and I find you can create really nice contours with this too as it gives the skin a nice healthy sunkissed glow. I will definitely repurchase this blush! One thing that annoys me though is the inflated price of cosmetics in Australia, $41 for a blush is ridiculous in my opinion but I'm willing to over look that, just because this product is so awesome LOL. If you're in the market for a new blush shade, I'd say definitely give this a try!

This was my first MAC blush and I've hit pan on it at least 4 times! obviously this particular color won't work for everyone, but for my olive skin tone it is just perfect. I love layering it on top of my bronzer during the summer, as it makes my face look a little tanner (I wear SPF70 to the beach). I also love pairing it up with MAC's iridescent powder in Golden Bronze, it just gives me a beautiful summer glow and it looks gorgeous!! definitely going to repurchase forever!

A beautiful Peachy blush. After falling in love with the Sheertone formula, I wanted to try more shades. My first sheertone was Pink Swoon, and I loved the texture. I loved how it was buildable, and left a gorgeous color. Previously, I was devoted to Cubic (a Satin finish) and I found myself having to pile it on to show up, then it would get blotchy. Anywho, I wanted to try Gingerly next, and so happy I did. Its perfect when I want to look a little more warmer, it really wakes up your face & looks beautiful. Its great if you want something a little more neutral then pink. I love using Pink Swoon when I want that Baby Doll looking blush. MAC has never let me down, a few products can be duds- but they make up for it with the products that are amazing.

Recently purchased this blush after reading many positive reveiws (mainly Kim K., lol). Looked a little boring/scary in the pan (tad orangish), but I must say, I LOVE it! It's the perfect spring/summer blush for my NC30 skin. Leaves my cheeks looking matte and healthy! Might just be my new fav blush!

I am VERY fair, Siberia in Nars sheer glow, possibly an NC 10 or 15 in MAC, though not sure. Freckles, hazel eyes, dark brown hair.

This looks TERRIFYING in the pan. I walked into MAC and asked for a peachy blush. I've been getting tired of my NARS cream pennylane, which lasts for half an hour...and I've started thinking it has a grey undertone? (maybe I'm just bored)

Anyway, the nice MAC salesperson showed me this in response to my query. No way, I thought. Peach, not bronze. But on my skin, it is beautiful. A very subtle warm peach. From looking at the colors in the pan, I went straight for peachy keen, but it on my skin, it is too pink and garrish.

So score one for the MAC customer service.

Oh, and look it on your skin in different lights.

My favorite Mac blush i have ever purchased. it is the perfect spring/summer color for the cheeks, and I like that it doesn't have any shimmer. It is a natural looking blush that i will be hitting pan on very quickly!

Gingerly gave a tan kind of look to my NC15 skin and the truth is I didn't really like it 'cause I prefer porcelain white kind of skin with highlighted cheeks. I should have bought something lighter and more vivid I think. On the other hand if you have a pale skin and want to look more broze like in the summertime it would probably be a good choice. I think that it works best on darker complexions though...

At first I was kind of scared when I received it, it looks so brown in the pan, but it is such a pretty color. It warms up my complexion and acts as a bronzer and a blush as the same time. It's pigmented and blends very well. I'm NC20 and this is just beautiful on my pale skin
