MAC Venomous Villains : Briar Rose Beauty Powder Review
MAC Briar Rose Beauty Powder is a part of Maleficent’s Collection. Maleficent is the villain from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.

It is packed in black glossy compact with the imagery of Maleficent printed in it. The size of beauty powder is bigger than the regular blush. MAC blushes are 6m of productΒ while the beauty powder is 12 gm.

MAC Beauty Powders are sheer blushes and can be used all over the face. It comes with a compact mirror


Briar rose is a cool tone dpink beauty powder with lavender undertones. It has a satiny finish to it. It is the blush for those days when your face looks dull and you want the dewy glow on your cheeks. That’s exactly the kind of finish it gives . The texture is hands down better than the regular powder blush. Also the satiny finish is such that no matter what, it would never accentuate your pores. It would give that satiny veil to your cheeks.

The shade is especially pretty for girls with medium to dusky skin tones. Briar rose beauty powder has sheer to buildable coverage and I don’t think you can use it all over the face. That would be too much .I use it as a blush only. You can apply a wash of briar rose along the bridge of your nose to get that wintery glow.
It stays on all day on me. However it gets even sheerer after a few hours but I don’t mind that.

It is one of the most natural looking blush I have in my collection. It gives that innocent rosy glow on your cheeks.

Shade wise I wouldn’t call Briar Rose a must have but You must give MAC beauty powder a try.

This is soooooooo pretttyyyyyyy :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: …I wonder how would it look all over the face? ?:-) ?:-) ?:-) ?:-) :-/ :-/
you would look pinky. π π π π π π π π π
he he.. π π π it would look OTT on Indian Skin tones. No matter how much cold the climate is here, rarely people become all pink, except for their nose and lips…
But, this look sooo cute!!…your cheeks looking all :blush: :blush: :blush:
you cannot apply it all over the face. I mean I haven’t even tried doing that because I am not very fair or don’t turn very pink as it is. But cali the texture is soo gorgeous. It’s like as if you are touching something silky.
Thankies :blush: :blush: :blush:
I so much want to buy some MAC stuff!! π :-(( :-(( ..I dont have even a single MAC thing…..
Cali if you keep buying german stuff all the time, how would you ever buy MAC :snicker:

Rati..u knw on Monday we were goin out for dinner n i applied mascara and lipstick This is wat followed:
Hubby π― π― π― π― π― π― Y r u so dressd up….
Me: Y cant i apply lipstick also :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug:
Hubby: But we r only goin out for dinner…n .i dnt like lipsticks on u π π π π π
Me: So wat??? I like :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: I will go like this only :-X :-X :-X
Hubby: Uh ok…. :quiet: :quiet: :quiet:
Me: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: π
:giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :-*
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: That was soooo :fighterf: :fighterf: :fighterf: …Me still have to learn a lot in order to loook goooooood wearing an eyeshadow..my bf doesn’t like any eyeshadow on me :panda: :panda: :panda: ..probably because I donno how to apply them properly and carry them gracefully….He likes me wearing bindi, liner and nude lipstick..The kind of makeup I did on Karwachauth!! :smug: :smug: :smug:
do very black smokey eyes one day, he’ll get used to everything else after that. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
He will get scared and run away from me!! π π π π π …When I did the smokey eye after reading the tutorial..he liked the overall look π π π , but wasn’t comfortable seeing me in that avatar… :silly: :silly: :silly:
oh may be start with neutral eye shadows. :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: Like just a wash of a soft brown eye shadow on lids. then dheere dheere contouring , next colors . by the time you get full on with eye makeup, he would have got used to seeing shadows on your lids. π π π π
Farha I have gone through the same phase but I think he is used to it now. he he he now he kinda compliments me on my eye makeup and all …only on some days :smug: but still..
I keep bugging him by asking “blush cute lag raha hai na” ” my earrings are cute na” ” my brushes look so cute na after their tips are painted ”
he says yes to everything. me happy, he happy :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
oh earlier he used to roll his eyes…he has found an easier way now . he says “yes” to everything i ask π π π π π π
but so what? I am happy that ways only :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug:
he he he… :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I think my BF will also learn this over a period of time!! π π π I hope he learns! :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/
It’s very irritating at times but still… :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:
Very sweet color rati, looks v good on u too.
We dnt hv Mac here only Mac dupes.
Thank you Nimi. π Which place do you belong to?

Hehe Rati π π π π π Guess u have trained him completely now…. π π π
With my hubby i have to literally fish for compliments by putting finger in his throat :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: I keep on telling him u didnt say enethn abt how i luk today :knife: π π π π π π until he gets the point and compliments me π π π π
Slowly they learn Just keep asking questions..:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Rati, i belong to Bhubaneswar (Temple city), capital of Orissa, near to Cuttack (Silver Filigree work) Puri (Lord Jagannath temple) n Konark (Sun Temple).
oh!! you must visit bombay or delhi sometime just to buy makeup. :-* :-* :-* :-*
areyy m also from bhubaneswar … kolkatta is the best option for us … i plan a trip to one of my dozens of relatives now and then and shop shop shop π π π and they say silky kitni pyari bachi hai ,, milne aa jati hai :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
its a beautiful color…..looking lovely on you…pinky face π― π― nowadays its only my daug who sees my makeup and she can even know if i hv put / not put a non gloss lip balm !!! hubby from “yes” to everything has moved to saying nothing !!!
haan they say you can use beauty powder all over the face. But i think only people with very fair skin can do that. May be peachy toned beauty powder can be used all over the face to get a glow but not his one.
from saying yes to nothing is scary :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble:
i think i will take your advice and do a smoky eyes !!! will def wake him up π π π

Awesome!! Let me do some more estee lauder reviews for you. π when are you going?
yeahhhhhhhhhh.. π π π he liked me in that brown/maroon kind of eyeshadow I bought from inglot!! ..I did a simple makeup once – just applied a nude skin colored eyeshadow all over the lid, and that inglot maroon shadow around the outer v of eyes.. Followed by applying highlighter on the brows. Then I applied thin black eyeliner over the lids, and Kajal only at the 1/3d of the waterline (outer area). It was quite soft makeup and he somehow liked it and gave me compliments too! :cute: :shy: :shy: :shy: :shy: :shy:
he he so far everything blends into your skintone, they don’t mind. The moment anything looks extra on you they π π π π
You do thoda thoda regularly.

oh you can use your lipstick as a blush. π :d just apply an oil free moisturiser on your face, apply some lipstick as a blush and set your makeup with sheer powder. :))

nahin. :((
@Rati: The blush looks so cute on uuu!!!!!! I always wondered if pink blushes only suited teenies..but seein ur pics..I want one for myself..!!!!ye!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
oh no! pink blushes look good on everyone. They bring a very refreshing look to your face. π
sooo pretttyy!!
1st when i saw this colour i thot its too much of a cool pink tone to suit indian skin tone and probably would look frosty!!
but then –
ofcourse my view changed after seeing u wearing it in the next pic!!
its cuteee and gorgeous and u look lovely in it! :cute:
I agree with Rati on that point..But somehow powder blushes make my cheeks look dry and dull..Else really liked the color of this one..
@Rati-I’ve always wondered how Sanjeev Bhaiya is never insecure of the pics u post of urself ..I mean the way u look,Guy’s could be drooling in front of their screens looking at ur pics and making plans to kidnap u while u go makeup shopping..
