MAC Flamingo Park: Powder Blush in What I Fancy, Spring Flock, Oh, My!, Life's a Picnic, Let's Be Friends, and This Could Be Fun

Tomorrow, MAC will launch their major Spring colour collection called Flamingo Park, inspired by "a picnic... a park... a girl of whimsy with a sweet tooth... unexpected guests... a curious flamingo! That's spring, it's an adventure. A little sugar goes a long way... a merry pink flock joins her feathered friend... the whole park goes to the birds... Plunge into the punch pleasures of pink in a freshly made batch of scrumptious colours that let you have your cake, and wear it, too." There is a total of 36 products, of which 18 are new and limited edition, five are re-promotes, and 13 are permanent. Flamingo Park will see the launch of seven shades of Powder Blush, of which six are new and limited edition and one is permanent (which will not be reviewed here). Each blush is housed in a regular black clear-lidded compact, contains 6 grams of product, and retails for $26.

Calling all blush fiends — this collection is for you! Here's six brand-new, gorgeously soft, finely-milled, silky, ultra-pigmented blushes for you to play with. While What I Fancy and Spring Flock are geared more towards fair to medium skintones and are ultra-wearable Spring pinks (read: fresh and peppy), the other four shades are definitely designed for darker complexions in mind, or for those who just love an intensely bright blush (read: clown cheeks) in general. For those who want a pop of colour but not in-your-face vibrancy, have no fear — these are very blendable and are easily muted when buffed in with a highlighter, skin finisher, or Beauty Powder. After winter collections of muted neutrals for cheeks, it's about time for some fun brights, and Flamingo Park definitely delivers.
