blushes are normally my favourite thing to buy and review
but I don't have a huge appetite when it comes to the Mineralize formula.
Don't get me wrong the Naturally Mineralize formula is much nicer and natural looking than the
shimmer/glitter versions in collections such as Quite Cute etc
but I still prefer the normal and cream blushes Mac have to offer over this formula any day!
Subtle Breeze is described as a "Blue Pink" which I have no discrepancy with at all.
It looks much more deeper and duskier in pan form than when applied so don't be fooled by the pan shade.
It of course runs cool in tone but not overly so and should look pretty on most skin tones.
The formula is soft and almost silken to the touch but is not overly powdery
nor does it show ashy or cakey when applied to the skin but gives a natural flushed effect that is matte.
The pigmentation is really good, applies with a decent colour pay off but is easy to blend to the desired
tone or effect the user may require with minimal effort.
As I mentioned these do not yield ashen/powdery so deep skin tones can build the shade up again with ease
without cause for concern.
The only problem I have with this formula is its lack of lasting power,
on my oily skin it lasts around five hours before fading and I have read similar reports
stating that on normal skin the formula only lasts around the six hour mark which is far from great!

ReplyDeletethank you ellie :)
DeleteLove the shade but for some reason it reminds me of watercolour paints...as if it just might disappear into nothing, so I can understand the lasting power issue.
ReplyDeleteLoving your reviews on the naturally collection by the way.

I know what you mean but they are actually okay in that aspect :)
Deleteall my swatches are one strike through not built up but I totally get what you mean :)
aww thank you Carlyn that is so kind of you! :)
Your reviews are always brilliant and so helpful - you cover everything that needs to be said about a product :) This looks like a nice product but shame about the lasting power!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Claire that means a lot :)
DeleteI know as otherwise it would great!
This shade would go really well with my skintone I think.. want to get it now lol :(
ReplyDeleteaww sorry for enabling haha :)
DeleteLoveee the look of this blush, funnily enough I've never been overly tempted by MAC's Mineralize blushes either X
ReplyDeleteLove the color, but I already own way too many blushes. Haha.
ReplyDeletesoo pretty:D i think it looks gorgeous on your skintone
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely colour! I think I may now be tempted to go and buy this haha!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty but lasting time would be a concern for me. I too have oily cheeks and I like my makeup to last at least the majority of the day.

I'd fallen in love with this and the honey shade but then I read about the lasting power (or lack thereof) on oily cheeks and promptly fell OUT of love. <3 Thanks for sharing!
