MAC Light Sunshine Beauty Powder
MAC Fashion Flower: Light Sunshine Beauty Powder
MAC Light Sunshine Beauty Powder ($25.00 for 0.35 oz.) is described as a “pastel neutral pink with soft gold and pink sparkles.” This shade has a lot more of a sheen in its finish compared to Alpha Girl, which looks nearly matte on skin. The color is a very pale, light pink. It’s more like a white-washed pink, because it is quite light. It is, however, rather pigmented, but also noticeably powdery because of the paleness of the base color.
It doesn’t work well on my medium skin tone, because it lightens my cheeks instead of brightening them. I think those with light and pale skin tones would like it as a subtle highlighter or finishing powder (if used with a light hand), but it may be ashy on deeper skin tones.
Light Sunshine definitely reminded me of Play It Proper (Stylishly Yours, ’10), though Play It Proper is a smidgen lighter and more cool-toned, but on, I think those differences are downplayed. It also seems comparable to Flower Mist Dew (Emanuel Ungaro, ’08) but more pigmented.
Where to Buy: MAC Cosmetics on April 28th, $25
FINAL THOUGHTS
I could see those with lighter skin tones liking this best. I would recommend those with deeper skin tones check it out in person before buying, because it looks like it would turn ashy.See more photos & swatches!

Hey Christine, Is it anything like the Jeanius blush (pink cult I think?)
It’s much, much lighter and not as cool-toned.
It actually gives you a fresh look. Not too bad, considering it is such a light color!! I might check it out as I have pale skin
I agree, I actually think this suits you from looking at the photograph!
I really like the look of this
Makes me look like a zombie – so terrible, IMO!
I don’t think it looks bad on you! I may have to get that one for myself…
Woh! A product that does NOT look good on you :O That’s very rare..
Im confused, does this collection come out April 28th or May 5th in stores?
Fashion Flower has been moved up to April 28th – confirmed at 7AM with MAC HQ.
thanks so much Christine! I just dont want to miss out!
i don’t know why but i really like it
what do you wear on ur lips?
Please read the FAQ!
Yeah i dont love that on you..it doesnt show up..just looks kinda like a white cast
I’m very pale (NC15), so I might check it out – it might work on me!
That’s the problem with reviewing blushes and bronzers – they’re so dependant on your specific skin tone. I would look ridiculous trying out a dark bronzer, even if it was the best quality.
This looks so fresh and bright on your face. It looks good, IMO!
I liked Play It Proper on you more but you definitely don’t look like a zombie
My god… I want this lipstick!!!
I might check this out…usually highlighter-types are either too white, too golden, or two glitter (ekk!) for my skin.
I’m thinking this might actually look quite good on my NW15 skin. I’m going to have to check it out!
Is this similar to By candlelight? I couldnt get my hands on by candlelight so is Light sunshine a better alternative?
Kind of – less metallic sheen, more shimmery, not as much pigmentation.
If I didn’t already have Play It Proper I’d totally want this. It’s lovely.
Yeah, it’s pretty pale but I still think you can get away with it… or maybe I’m just being fooled into thinking it looks good since the rest of your makeup looks so nice, hahaha!
Anyway, if it looks that good on you, I know it’ll look awesome on me, the queen of pale!
Ooh, I might have to pick this up as a backup for when my beloved Flower Mist Dew runs out!
the colour is gorg in the pan, but I have to force myself to pas. what ood will this actually do me? none.
I wanna have this! I love it and i’m very light so i think it will fits me.
Hi is it similar to Flower mist dew?it’s my favorite beauty powder:)
It’s a little pinker but similar.
hi christine
how does this compare to the highlight side of benefit’s 10 box powder? tks!
Wow, very pretty powder. It really suits you.
Sorry to post this so late, but this collection will launch in the UK next month so I’m researching now to avoid missing anything when it comes out. I’m looking for a good hightlighter for my NW15 complexion, would you choose this over Dior Amber Diamond? – thanks
