MAC Styleseeker: Powder Blushes

This past Thursday, MAC released a new collection called Styleseeker, which is their main fall colour launch and features a total of 23 products — 16 of which are limited edition, three of which are re-promotes, and four of which are permanent. Styleseeker sees the release of three shades of Powder Blush, all of which are new and limited edition. Each blush comes in regular black packaging, contains a total of 6 g of product, and retails for $24.

Hidden Treasure, Supercontinental, and Worldly Wealth

Hidden Treasure is a dark warm rusted red with a very subtle sheen in a Velvet finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has intense pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily, though due to the nature of the shade, using a light hand is recommended as it builds up in colour intensity very quickly. It is lighter and more orange than Fever, and darker and much warmer than Frankly Scarlet.

Supercontinental is a medium peachy coral with a subtle sheen in a Satin finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is darker and more pink than Springsheen, and lighter and more peach than Fleur Power.

Worldly Wealth is a medium-dark bronze-brown with orange undertones and golden shimmer-sheen in a Frost finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is more brown than Sunbasque, and darker and more bronze than Coppertone.

I thought all three shades performed exceptionally well. Supercontinental is probably my favourite if only for its softer pop of colour while being generally flattering for all undertones, though Hidden Treasure looks stunning on darker skintones and Worldly Wealth is fantastic to warm up any skintone. All three blushes do lean on the warmer side, though, so if you prefer cooler blushes, I would look elsewhere. But these blushes are very appropriate for fall, and are some of the more coveted items from this collection, so they will likely sell out very fast.
