The Perfect Cheek

I'm a bit darker than many of the reviewers here (NW25) and this works great as a bit of color when I'm wearing a red or bright lip. It doesn't intrude and offers enough color to give me some dimension. Good perennial blush.

I first purchased this blush when it came out in the Marilyn Monroe collection (cutest packaging!). It is a really pretty pink, not too shimmery and looks nice on my fair/pale skin. I will repurchase when I run out of the Marilyn one!

i got this the marilyn monroe collection. i was skeptical when i first used it, thinking it was too subtle for my taste. this is the first nudey blush i've bought. with more use i fell in love with it. the colour is so soft and natural looking and gives an amazing glow, which is something considering it is a matte blush. it's different from my usual pink, peachy pink and peach tones but …Read more

i think i need to stockpile this blusher - it really is the perfect cheek.it's a lovely light, smooth, buildable formula, in the most natural looking warm pink on my NC20 skin - super pretty. i bought the marilyn monroe LE and it's going to be hard for any other blusher to beat this one ... i really hope MAC keeps making it ;-)

This blush is aptly named The Perfect Cheek. It is a beautiful matte nude-pink that imparts a glowy, contour/blush combo on my NC25-30 cheekbones. It is perfect for work, and pulls together a smokey eye/nude lip look as well. It is probably my favorite MAC blush ever. I got this (along with a back-up) with the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection but it was repromoted with the Marilyn Monroe …Read more

RIS and I really like it. On my lt-med Asian skin w/yellow undertones, it shows up as a nude/pink/slightly peach color. It really does look like you are lit from within, as others have said. The slight con is that I have to put on a couple of layers for it to show up as much as I like.

I actually love this blush. When I first got it a while ago, I didn't quite like it due to it being a little hard to see when on the cheek. But after wearing it for some time, I noticed it gave me a really subtle beautiful glow that most blushes do not give. I'm sad that this shade was LE because I wish everyone could have their chances on getting such a great blush. :) It's one of …Read more

I was really drawn to this color at the CCO where I bought it and when I got home and added it to my MAC stash I realized why...it's almost exactly the same as MAC's Cubic blush which is my HG go-to color. It's not quite as pink though, it's a little more beige and I love to use it if I'm going for a super neutral, nude face. I have to be super, super careful not to …Read more

Don't use too much on cheeks!
Just a light swip from my brush and you're set. Only thing is if you don't get the swip on the cheek right and try and put more on it REALLY gets put on.

I can see me having this product for a while. I love the color I got, melba, so A+ to the sales woman who picked what I described: a choral pink-ish natural color.

Honestly, I picked this up because the name was such a tease. Who doesn't want a blush that will give them the "perfect cheek?". Once again, this is an easy to use, everyday neutral blush. This is very similar to Blushbaby, but a tad lighter and pinker when compared side by side.
