I have mentioned MAC Peachykeen blush here and there but at the moment it is all I gush about when it comes to cheek colours. With that in mind it is long overdue that I not only share my thoughts on my blush of the moment but also a swatch or two.
I'm not going to waste your time by describing the packaging in detail - it is standard MAC and most notably it is fairly robust with a large sized transparent window to view the shade held within. Now on to the shade - Peachykeen is listed as a "very baby peach". I hate to say it but I do find the official MAC colour listings and swatches for that matter worthless - they are never a great indication of the shade let alone a true colour representation, with such website never blind buy and always snoop around other blogs for swatches. In my opinion Peachykeen is a dusky mid toned yellow tinged pink in pan form that applies a whole lot more peach once on the skin. As it is neutral in tone most skin tones should be able to sport this shade but I do warn that the pigmentation in this shade is one of MAC's weaker offerings.
As you can probably see from my photos that this blush does have a slight silver glitter accent which oddly does not translate on to the skin at all nor does it have a gritty texture. Rather Peachykeen applies initially matte but with a little buffing into the skin it gives a radiant peachy pink glow. I have no outright dupes of this blush but I do find it to be comparable to NARS Orgasm but without the beautiful golden sheen that Orgasm brings to the table. Rather this peachy blush gives a subtle, very flattering and almost soft focus flush of colour to the cheeks that does not highlight my many flaws and wears with a primer on my oily skin for up to 7 hours.
A great peachy blush that every fair to medium toned gal should at least swatch!

Random Fact - The earliest recorded case of man quitting smoking was on April 5, 1679, when Johan Katsu, Sheriff of Turku, Finland, wrote in his diary
"I quit smoking tobacco." He died one month later.
I'm looking for a great peach although this has a fair amount of red in it - it's a lot less peach than its name infers. MAC's Sheertones are outstanding though...I've got Breath of Plum which is fabulous.

Been using MAC Peachykeen for 4 years now and it just perfectly suits my skin tone. I've got a yellow undertone as I'm Southeast Asian (dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and skin tone similar to Nicole Scherzinger's but slightly darker). I find that it works best with MAC's or any other brand's liquid foundation (or MAC's discontinued Studio Tech compact) but doesn't really blend well with Studio Fix compact. The powdery texture doesn't let the blush sit, so by 3pm, the blush is gone. Other than that, can't complain. But I'll give NARS Orgasm a go :)
ReplyDeletethis is an amazing color! Kinda reminds me of Deep Throat by NARS
