This is my favorite MAC blush. I wear it everyday, just ordered two more that's how much I love it. It's a nice peachy pink that can look very natural or you can build up for a bit more color, it's just beautiful! I'm an NC35.

Sightly shimmery peach, gorgeous on my NC35 skin tone. This has been my daily spring/summer blush for years now. I wouldn't call this a bronzer, but it gives you a very natural and healthy glow, as if you'd been out sunbathing (just realized how perfect the name is!) Apply with a lighter hand for day; use a bit more for evening, neutral enough to pair well with dramatic eyes or lips. I've been using this for 3 or 4 years at least and have yet to see it look clownish. Wear time is excellent, lasts all day with no need to reapply unless maybe you're in the heat and sweat it off.

I think most MAC products are of very good value. You pay maybe a third more what you'd pay at a drugstore, but you're getting a quality product that will last you YEARS. Of the MAC blushes I've owned, the quickest I went through one was 3 years (with near-daily wear.) I don't know if I'll repurchase this because on one hand, I love it, and my makeup philosophy is if it ain't broke, don't fix it, But on the other hand, I don't want to commit to another 4 years of the same color when there are so many more MAC shades to try!

I have loved Sunbasque since I was 15 (7 years ago)! My mother and sister both wear it also, so it runs in the family. I have fairly pale skin with freckles on my nose & cheeks and dirty blonde hair and this is the only blush that really pops on me. It's pink and shimmer, but still adds a little bronzer to my face, so it really makes my freckles stand out. Perfect for summer!!!!

My only complaint is it cracks anytime you drop the container, leaving you with little 'blush rocks' but I am cheap so I deal with those!

This blush is near and dear to my heart, it was my first ever Mac blush when I was 19 lol. It's a great color for me, I'm about a medium-light skin tone and I absolutely adore it. The one thing I hate about it is the packaging, Mac packaging of their blushes such in my opinion, they break VERY easily. My first sunbasque broke in travel. I have just purchased another one today and can't wait for it to come in the mail!!!

This blush is okay nothing special. It looks a little muddy on my skin which I hate that. I don't know if it's just my sunbasque but mine is very dusty no joke. I will not be repurchasing.

I don't use this color often just because I have way to many other blushes but on My NC 40-42 skin tone, or MUFE 140 tone this blush looks like a bronzy peach goes with a lot of colors, works well when you are wearing a strong eye or strong lip.

I love this blush! I have peachtwist which is VERY similar like the only difference is this one is more pink not peachy. It looks really pretty on my skin & this can be used to look very natural or very bold. I love it! I'm an NC 35 for reference

I bought Sunbasque based on MUA reviews. Its a lovely peachy blush which can be applied lightly or layered for darker look. Its a great color for NC30 skin tones, my only gripe is that this looks identical to MAC Peachtwist blush on me which I already own :( so I don't recommend buying this if you already have peachtwist. I expected Sunbasque to look like a natural bronzer - not a colored blush - but that's my own fault.

This is a pretty peach-bronze-orange blush, to just throw on everyday. It isn't too pigmented on me,. It has a little shimmer. Nothing special, but good to have for w hen you don't know what else to throw on

For reference, I am nw15 and I have ruddy cheeks, especially in winter, so I don't like to wear any blush that is going to accentuate this, obviously. I needed some new makeup so eagerly headed off to mac after doing some online chatting with a mac artist - she had suggested 'sweet as cocoa' blush as a good blush/bronzer in one, but as soon as the mua tried it on me in store we both agreed it was way too dark and weird looking, even applied sheerly. So she showed me Sunbasque...beautiful in the pan, and even more beautiful on. A sheertone shimmer, so you gradually build the color, almost impossible to make a mistake, and it gives the most beautiful soft sunkissed glow from the very fine shimmer. It's amazing! I think my favourite mac purchase, actually! If you find bronzers to be dirty or orange and want a more natural looking alternative then definitely give Sunbasque a go! It's gorge.

this is my next favourite blush behind springsheen and lady blush (creme blush)
it is a good colour on my NC35 skin; it acts like inbetween a blush and a bronzer and the gold shimmer in it isnt too much
it is so pretty on its own and even with a bronzer as a contour. i would be repurchasing if i ever ran out of this. it is a staple blush for me

I like this a lot but it doesnt give me a glow.. it makes me look just awake. Its very pretty but I dont know.. its just a bit.. bleh. Its very pigmented and just a little stroke on my cheeks gives me a lovely look but I wouldnt use this everyday.

Sunbasque is a beautiful blush in the pan but on me it was so muddy looking. I have tan skin so I thought it would be my everyday blush but I just couldn't get it to work. I hate to say but I'm just not happy with MAC's blush range, I've tried so many shades and I think the texture of the powder just doesn't blend well.

I really like this blush. When an artist at Mac tried foundation on me, she put this on and I went back the next day because I had to have this. It is definitely not a color I would have picked out because I like matte blushes and this product, even when swatched, appears quite shimmery since its a sheer tone shimmer blush. However, on my skin it does not look shimmery at all. I don't use a lot because I like a more subtle look, but it builds up well. It is a really nice color and it warms up my skin. I use this blush more than any other blushes in my collection and when I hit pan, I definitely plan on repurchasing this.

So i went into my MAC shop and i was orginally set out to buy Margin, but the girl at MAC really recommended Sunbasque to finish my blush palette off. To be honest i really wasn't too please with this blush i felt on me it just looked muddy and patchy and now i wish i would have bought Margin! :( <3

I LOVE this blush, it's so flattering on my skin color, for reference I'm nc40-nc42, I have many other Mac blushes but this one has to be my favorite especially for the summer, it's a sheertone shimmer blush, so you have to be careful a little to much and you can end up looking like a disco ball. I just love it.

I love this blush. It gives a bronzey peach color to my cheeks that is very flattering on my medium olive skin. I like shimmer blushes, and this is definitely shimmery, but not frosty. This is a good neutral blush for every day wear that brightens my face and never looks muddy. It goes with any lipcolor. I took off one lippie because the lasting power isn't very good. All of my Lancome Blush Subtil blushes last through my 60-minute workouts, and Sunbasque does not. I will repurchase.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this yet! This was my first MAC blush that I ever bought and I keep rediscovering it now and then (don't you just love that?). On my NC35 skin tone it's a warm peachy pink that could be built up to be more coral. It's very neutral but also has a slight shimmer to it that's not suffocating. I highly recommend!

i wanted to love this product but it just doesnt sooth my skin. It comes off like a bronzy shimmery highlighter somewhat similar to the MSF gold deposit. The MUA said this would look great on me but the color cannot be seen at all. It will only look like i have shiny cheeks.

I love this product due to the lovely shimmer tone and the bronze/pink tones suite my medium skin tone. The price is steep at the UK price f £17.00 but it is worth it for the lovely result and it lasts for ages. I recommend!!
