I bought マック MAC Cosmetics Sheer Tone Blush in shade ‘Pinch me’ about 2 years ago in India. MAC makeup artist suggested this to me when I asked for a pink tone blush. I was looking for a bright pink with shimmer, like this, because shimmer is popular in Japan. I changed my mind when the makeup artist applied this blush on me. It looked so pretty on my complexion. Never mind that it is glitter/shimmer free!
‘Pinch Me’ has a rosy brick red color. It is something like a warm rose with a hint of peach, more like a coral color. MAC says it is a “dirty rose colour”. It is great for warmer/tanned skin tones. It is perfect for medium to deep complexions. It can be paired with pinks, reds or even coral lips. It is similar to a natural flush, very classy and reddish shade. It looks peachy pink on me ( I am a NC 43.5 ). Although it is sheer tone still it is very pigmented so just a little product is required. A light tap and you are done! It gives a very neutral look. It has a sheer matte formula but buildable. It is easy to blend and lasts long. It lasts about 5-6 hours over the foundation/BB cream on me (without a primer). It looks beautiful and warm on… Way better than it looks in the pot.
It has smooth buttery texture and has no fallout at all. It is not powdery or chalky. It glides on cheeks like a dream.
It is easier to blend and lasts long. It comes in the regular MAC packaging of 6 gm with a plastic transparent cover and no mirror or applicator which is the only negative that I feel. It costs about 1800 Rupees. I have been using it for about 2 years now and I still haven’t hit the pan! So good value for money.
MAC ‘Pinch Me’ blush is natural yet noticeable and a little goes a long way! Highly recommended!
