Hello friends
Happy Baisakhi and Navmi everyone! Today I am here to share my views on another MAC purchase which seemed to be worth for my skin tone that too with presence of shimmers. I love how it delivers natural sheer flush to my cheeks without making me look like shining disco ball or school kid. So let’s head straight to this MAC Mineralize Blush!

My Experience with MAC Mineralize Blush – Gentle:

The dome shaped blush comes in a sturdy black case with a transparent plastic flip top cap opening; it has additional plastic cover to save blush from accidental breakage. Overall I am quite happy with its wide packaging.

My shade “Gentle” is defined as raspberry with gold pearl which is true to its description as it comes up sheer raspberry pink on my pale skin tone with subtle hint of gold shimmers. Oh yes, don’t let the shimmery blush deceive you; these shimmers are barely visible on skin. Believe me! In fact I was pretty intimidated at first when I swatched it on hands but the way it comes up on my skin is ultimate love. As they say the shade truly gives me sheer and light-weight natural pink flush on cheeks while it is further buildable with no shimmery or glittery finish at all. I love how these shimmers never look OTT or bold on my oily skin; they never seem emphasizing my open pores or shiny skin.

You know what, I feel that this color is exact match of my natural blushing and it certainly gives a cool tone to my bit warmer undertone somehow. I say so because I look bit fairer with natural pink glow which makes me reach for this blush every other day!

The texture of this mineral blush is pretty silky and effortless on skin; it spreads evenly with no streaky or patchy layer on my skin. I feel for beginners, this blush can be so forgiving with its way sheer and light-weight translucent finish which is easily blendable or even buildable with layers. I am no expert in blending still I feel so confident when I have this gentle shade and my Sephora blush brush together in my kit. I do feel slight flaky formula while swirling brush in pan but the flakiness is not at all noticed in its finish on my skin.

I love how effortlessly it blends on my skin dispersing those shimmers to almost nil visibility thereby delivering subtle, natural, raspberry pink flush for several hours. Yes gals, I am glad that the pink flush is visible on my oily and fair skin tone for good 6-7 hours thereby fading evenly with subtle glow and sheen which is completely fine with me. I am pretty fine with touch ups though I hardly wear makeup for more than 7 hours so either way it is a win for me.

I think this is by far the best finding for me in MAC especially for its versatile finish and color, a no-brainy blush to put it in the right way. It is as easy as cake walk; just swirl your fluffy blush brush, blend on cheek bones and you are done!

Would I Repurchase/Recommend MAC Mineralize Blush – Gentle?
Well honestly I would call these cons as humble heads up as they don’t seem influencing my liking for this shade. It is indeed an exception especially coming from MAC (which rarely gives me wow moment) that too with shimmers. lol. I am definitely getting it again as I am hooked onto this natural pink color for providing glowing pink finish which stays put for several hours. Not to forget it never broke me out or aggravated my oily skin concerns. I would definitely recommend it to every beauty regardless of your skin type particularly for light skin tones.
