MAC Tartan Tale: Her Blooming Cheek Blush Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Her Blooming Cheek Blush ($18.50 for 0.21 oz.) is a ridiculously pigmented bright fuchsia pink blush with a satin finish. It has a subtle sheen but no shimmer. It is very, very pigmented. I recommend tapping it on and diffusing color with foundation or pressed powder or using a stippling brush like the 187 or 188 so that you can gradually build up color. It has cooler, blue undertones, but it still looks really lovely on warmer skin.
It’s more fuchsia than MAC Full Fuchsia Blush, but it seems very similar to Azalea (which I don’t think I have to swatch against). Both of those blushes are PRO only, but they are available permanently.

hi, do u think it's a good dupe for Sweetness? Sweetness was my favourite blush, but I gave it yo my sister, so I'm looking for a dupe thx :)
I just got this in the mail today and I love it, it looks soooo pretty!
try applying it with a lighter hand! thats wayyyy2 much!
The brightest blush i used to have so far was dollymix and bite of an apple, i am a nc20 or 25, and i got this one yesterday, and i am really happy with it, with a light hand it really suits me. This is one of the few thing in this collection that i really love.
I just bought this blush today at my local MAC counter. It is a very pretty, super BRIGHT color. I will be using a very light hand on this one, but it is very pretty. My first bright pink blush :)
WOW! How does this blush compare to Stila's Custom Colour Blush? It looks really pretty on you Christine
I don't have that, sorry!
I think this is a bit much for me. I'm cool-toned but very pale, and as I'm a redhead I find warmer peach/coral blushes actually suit me better.
A someone with a honey-caramel complexion and 'cool' undertones, I LOVE bright berry blushes. The usual blush colors are either too pale or too boring. Cannot wait to get this and wonder how it will look paired up with my Briar Rose beauty powder from the Venomous Villain collection.

How do you compare it to Florida Cream Blush? I mean in terms of color. Thanks =]
It's pinker - not quite as purple.
I wore something like this way back in the 80's because Madonna did. She does not any more, and neither would I. :)
Will you be reviewing highland honey blush too?
Yes.
This is so pretty! Especially on you! I have such pale skin though, I'm not sure I could pull it off.
Ooh... I am so getting this, mostly because the blue-pink tone really suits my skin. It would take me forever to use it up, just enough at a time to where it doesn't look unnatural. :)
I think I am going to be getting this now too, because I have the same skin where blue tones suit me too!
Honestly it such a garish pink - looks a bit clownish on you. :/ It is super duper pigmented and hard to apply lightly?
It is very pigmented, but you can apply it lightly.
I'm a NW15, I doubt this would work for me hahaha
I wish I could get that when it comes out here! I totally missed out on all the different launches of Venomous Villains (which sold out here within 20 minutes to an hour after store opening time IN ALL STORES) in the malls here, so I'm hoping to make up for it with Tartan Tale. I'm still sad that I didn't get to buy Toxic Tale and Bite of an Apple, though. I hope they repromote those two. But for now, I'll be bugging my favorite SAs about Tartan Tale's release here. :)
so pretty on you! how does this compare to Nars desire?
If you didn't get TT why cant you just go on ebay and get it? Like thats what I would do if I really wanted it and it was sold out.
I don't want to have to pay more than what MAC has set for it :P I'm just a little sad that I didn't get it now but I still have tons of product to keep the heartache away. Haha! Still hoping for the repromote though! I guess it sucks that my country's always one of the last to get MAC collections, plus we only get a few pieces of each product. :P there were only 3 coral crepe pp when pret a papier came out here.
How does this compare to MAC Tippy, Rock and Republic Kinky, and NARS Desire?
Much brighter than Tippy. I don't have Kinky or Desire.
Just bought this! I'm a huge fan of crazy blushes. I think after conquering Frankly, Scarlet I have nothing left to fear.
that pink is so obnoxious i love it!
This reminds me of Smashbox's Radiance.
I have a shade of blush that is SO similar to that! And then that's kind of why I ordered this! I have a really light, cool skin tone, though :)
Is this colour similar to Chanel's Tweed Fuchsia Tissages?
Nah, this is about 1000x brighter!
Oh wow, at first there was no way I thought I'd get this, cause its so scary in pan. Plus I thought it would come out to be a harsh bold color. But applied on you, its totally different and softer. Definitely looks pretty on you!! :) Can't wait for you to do a review on the other blush. Please compare it to Melba! :)
It looks horrific in the swatches but very classy on your face. Good job with the application!
I didn't know my computer screen had that color capability! WOW!!!
LOL! I know, right? It is quite bright!
Pretty, but I think it may be too dark/bright for me. I think it will look gorgeous on a lot of skin tones, though.
I thought it was lovely and buidable until I paid attention to your note: "This is LIGHTLY!" *_* I'm NW15, I don't think I can't pull this off even with a 187 :(
Nordstrom has the stuff up now... purchasing the few things i like. Not too many for this collection.
how does this compare to nars desire
It seems brighter, a little deeper.
I could see this blush working on medium to darker skin tones.
I love this! I hate when blushes aren't pigmented enough...
Ahh, It's gorgeous! I love pigmented bright blushes... But if it's similar to Azalea (which I don't have) than it's not really a must have then.
Oh my gosh, this is pigmented! Wow! It's very pretty on you :) I think it's a great "rosy cheeks" kind of blush. Would this work on fair skin if used lightly, of course?
Yes!
i like this! it looks beautiful on you :)
I've just fallen in love with this blush. It´s the only item of the entire collection that i will buy!
I ordered mine yesterday. I'm around Beyonce' and Mary J. Blige complexion. Hope it looks good on me!!
I believe so I'm in that same complexion category as well & I have Full Fuchsia & I love it.
