Modern Mandarin just came out with the Trés Cheek collection, which I merrily skipped down to MAC to swatch on Thursday. I was expecting to come away with Immortal Flower at least, if not more, but Modern Mandarin ended up being the only one which excited me.
L-R: Mac Modern Mandarin, Sleek Pan Tao, Darling Girl Fantasia, Sleek Aruba, MAC Springsheen.
Isn’t it pretty? I love the satin finish and the pigmentation is just right for a blush – not too much, not too little. I was worried from some swatch pictures I’d seen that it would be too ORANGE, but on the skin it actually has a bit of coral to it, perhpas, there’s very little yellow there to my eye which is fantastic as blushes like Sleek Aruba just look awful on me!
I really love how it looks on! I’m really pleased with it – I normally try and steer clear of MAC blushes unless they’re on Fragrance Direct or Cheap Smells or similar as £17.50 is pretty expensive. I’ve no complaints at all with this product though, and I can see it being a favourite over summer.
Really really nice blush. Love the finish on it. :-)
ReplyDeleteAhh thats so pretty! I'm gonna need to check these out!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so lovely on you! I was scared this would be way too orange but I ordered it anyways because it seemed the most unique out of the collection. I'm glad I ordered it!
ReplyDeleteI love how it pulls more coral than orange, looks great with your lovely fair skin :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I wasn't expecting the coral sheen!
ReplyDeleteI want a few of these but had to tell myself no. Argh... so many collections!! This look lush on you! x

GORGEOUS! I had been eyeballing this one too, but alas, I am on a no-buy. This is a perfect spring/summer colour!
