This is a continuation of my review of the MAC Colourstruck Blushes. They are my final purchases that I did not have time to show photos of sooner. Now, I officially own all 11 of the 29 that I wanted!

I will update my original post to include these, but I wanted to post this separate review to inform the email subscribers of the new additions!

Skinfinish Colourstruck Blushes in Sinner (matte), CB96 (radiant), and Antique Velvet (radiant)

Sinner

For the swatch comparisons, I had to fish the berry shades out of my “box of products I wouldn’t mind decluttering” because I wasn’t as happy with those colors. YSL’s Spicy Berry is the exception.

When it comes to berry blush shades, I either love or hate the way they look on me. The best one I ever wore was the Make Up For Ever HD Cream Blush in Raspberry 510 (color shown here), which I bought twice before it was discontinued. Sinner is cooler-toned, but I saw someone with a warm undertone and dark skin wearing it, and the end result was similar to what I got with MUFE’s Raspberry! So, I had to buy it!

I am very happy with how it looks on me! Once again, MAC’s blushes can be effected by the undertone of foundation underneath. So, it doesn’t look cool-toned enough to clash with the warmth of my skin. Sinner is perfect for when I want that I’ve-been-out-in-the-cold type of look.

CB96

This color looks gorgeous on the MAC’s models, and on NikkifromHR, but I was hesitant to buy it because of how picky I can be about orange blushes. I was happy with Cheeky Chili, but even that shade ranked lowest of the original eight blushes I bought. I even mentioned before that I prefer coral-pink shades (like Pink Flamingo) over coral-oranges (like this one), so how could I justify getting it anyway? Eventually my curiosity got the better of me and I’m actually happy that I caved!

If I had Nars’ Taj Mahal and Fenty’s Shimmer Match Stix in Chili Mango with me in Germany, I would have tried to do comparison swatches. However, the only orange blushes I have with me are mattes. I can’t recall if I ever owned an orange shimmery blush that was opaque and dark enough to not look like a highlighter on me. CB96 might be the first!

Antique Velvet

Because the Radiant Deep Golden bronzer was a fail for me, with no “Radiant Rich Golden” as an option, I figured I could try using this shade for that purpose! Film Noir Buff worked well as a brontour/contour, and I’m happy to say this makes a better bronzer than Radiant Deep Golden, even if it’s a bit deep for me.

The darkest warm brown shimmery blushes I own are Chanel’s Lumiere Brun Roussi, Dior’s Bronzed Glow, and MAC’s Sweet as Cocoa, but all of them are discontinued shades and none anywhere as deep. So, I don’t have anything current to compare to Antique Velvet.

So that’s all I’ve got for today! Notes on longevity, performance, and so on are detailed in my original review.

I can say with confidence that these 11 are all I will buy until MAC expands the range further. I am very much satisfied with the amount I have!

Thanks for reading!
