Limited edition blusher from M.A.C Blush Ombre from Isabel & Ruben Toledo collection in Kindergarten Red shade.

Hello everyone!
Today I really want to tell you about blusher from M.A.С limited collection, which really impressed me with quality and package.

I don’t have too much blushers in my collection, because I don’t understand why one can have 10 shades of one color, which are just same on the skin (totally different with lipsticks).
Usually I use cold gamma make-up, therefore I use cold colored blushers in general, but this summer I decided to try new shades, and was looking something more worm in blushers selection.

I don’t have any M.A.С official shop near, that’s why I decided to buy several interesting products when I finally reached their shop, including eve warm colored blushers. When I asked consultant about something unique for me, she offered me limited Toledo collection. By that time I had already seen a lot of posts about collection and I thought that all the products were already sold, but they were widely available in that shop, making me extremely happy.

Package of this product has to look limited – it has totally different look in comparison with traditional products from this brand: white square with back and red faces, it can be perfect choice for collectors, and I will just be happy during every use. In fact, box that contained blusher was also really nice – it has the very same style and inner part is covered with black and white abstract drawings.

You will not find brush or mirror, but such approach is selected for all the products of this brand, giving you ease opening box with blusher, which will keep your fingers safe. Collection itself included not only my shade, but also beautiful peach blusher and cold colors of pink and violet. First one was almost invisible on my skin, and second one was not trendy, that’s why I decided to buy Kindergarten Red.

Despite the name of it, I wouldn’t call it red. They look more warm pink, saturated if you mix different shades, but it can still give you light red shade on your skin.

With flashlight:

This blusher has perfect pigmentation, but it will not leave stains on your skin and can be easily shaded. You can find separate small shimmer in the package, but blusher has more satin and matt effect on the skin.

In my case M.A.C. blusher has perfect durability – this one can keep 7-8 hours. I have to mention that consumption is really slow and weight is equal to 10 grams.

If we talk about exact shade, gradient starting from light pink, almost white goes into dark pink, varying saturation of final shade, and light color itself is almost unnoticeable on the skin (even though consultant promised that I could use it as highlighter)
Swatches of light, dark and both shades (from left to right):

Let’s look at blusher on face skin. I think that result looks really natural, but if someone finds it extremely bright, you can always shade it into light shadow of blusher.  And vice versa of course.

I’m really satisfied with this blusher and I don’t see any disadvantages.
