MAC Full Fuchsia Blush
MAC Riveting Collection: Blush Review, Photos, Swatches
Two blushes are included in the Riveting Collection: Full Fuchsia (officially described as a very bright iridescent fuchsia) and Dirty Plum (officialy described as a deep plum). MAC lists both of these as permanent shades at PRO stores, but they’ll be limited edition at counters and stores while this collection is out. I heard that Dirty Plum was recently discontinued, though, so you might want to snatch it up anyway, if it’s your kind of shade…
Blush ($18.50 U.S. / $22.00 CDN)
- Full Fuchsia is a vibrant deep fuchsia. It’s not ultra hot pink, but it’s nearly there. It’s just not quite as blindingly fuchsia as Show Orchid Lipstick is. It can be built up to very intense and bright, but even used lightly, it’s still a more intense blush than most. Think like a fuchsia version of Dollymix.
- Dirty Plum is a dark, slightly muted plum. Like Full Fuchsia, it can easily be layered and intensified to its true in-the-pan color. Used lightly, you can get a softer color. This one reminded me a bit of Vintage Grape blush ombre from Spring Colour Forecast (at least, when used lightly–when used heavily, there are stronger purple tones in this one).
Have you been waiting for some pigmented blushes? Or are they too pigmented for you?

Saturday, February 13, 2010These blushes are so pretty. I’m glad they’re pro though so I don’t have to rush to pick them up. I am still recovering from my Spring Colour Forecast haul! :)
Amber
Saturday, February 13, 2010Love the swatches!
Is Full fuschia a PRO iteam? And do you know if it is comparable to dollymix?
Christine
Saturday, February 13, 2010It’s a PRO item, and it is more fuchsia and intense than Dollymix.

Saturday, February 13, 2010I feel like those colours would look better on darker skintones…

Wednesday, March 31, 2010well the blush is supposed to be worn different due to the differences of skin tones but every shade can rock it differently and of course uniquely so its still very good girl. you just gotta work your tricks and it will work like magic!!!
denise
Saturday, February 13, 2010I think these might be a skip for me. I have plum de bois (I think) from cult of cherry. and The pink I can pick up at mac pro anytime. the l/g is a definite
Jacquelyn
Saturday, February 13, 2010The blushes are gorgeous!! I cannot wait to snatch both of them up soon after I recover from Spring Colour Forecast!

Saturday, February 13, 2010Does the fuchsia blush have any glitter/shimmer?
Christine
Saturday, February 13, 2010It has some shimmer, but it’s subtle and not very visible when you use it.
Almost black.
Saturday, February 13, 2010LOVE these! Though none of these are my colors, but still love them! :)

Saturday, February 13, 2010How does Full Fushia compare to Azalea?
Christine
Saturday, February 13, 2010They’re very similar. Azalea is a little deeper pink and almost more opaque. I’d say Azalea may have a more purple sheen/cast to it in comparison, but they’re hard to distinguish between.
Melissa
Saturday, February 13, 2010I’ve been waiting for bright blushes!! I’d rather have a bright one, apply with a light hand & have it last longer. :)
Jenn
Saturday, February 13, 2010Is the Dirty Plum going to be relaunched with the liberty of london collection?
Christine
Saturday, February 13, 2010The descriptions are different, and my info sheet says that it is a new and limited edition shade (while Dirty Plum from Riveting says PRO). I can’t tell you yes or no without seeing the products, unfortunately.
Anitacska
Saturday, February 13, 2010They are pretty, but probably too dark/bright for me. I’m going to buy all the new mineralize blushes anyway, so that’ll be my blush haul for the time being. :)
amy
Saturday, February 13, 2010Dirty Plum is quite pretty and I am glad it is permanent at the PRO stores, so I can pick it up whenever.
aMy
Saturday, February 13, 2010Is Full Fuchsia similar to Tippy?
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010Brighter, more fuchsia, not as cool-toned.
aMy
Thursday, February 18, 2010Thanks!
Andrea
Saturday, February 13, 2010I’m a bit torn between Vibrant Grape and Dirty Plum! Which one do you prefer?
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010Dirty Plum – easier to wear.
Jasmine
Saturday, February 13, 2010Will these blushes be available in palette refill?
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010Only at PRO stores.
sf
Saturday, February 13, 2010how does dirty plum compare to the color 3 blush ombre? i can’t remember the name–the purple one
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010Vintage Grape – it’s plummier, not as dark.
claudia
Saturday, February 13, 2010I thought this was the same Dirty Plum from the Give Me the Liberty of London Collection, Christine, but since you have said the info is different, maybe yeah, they’re two different shades. Well, actually it sounds ok, I really wanted to get it with the cute Give me …. packaging but I found it a bit too dark. Still, it’s a pretty colour, I’m so fond of plumish blushes !!
Meri
Saturday, February 13, 2010can’t wait to get Full Fuschia :) is it only for pro ?
Christine
Saturday, February 13, 2010It’s a PRO color, but it will be available at all stores with this collection for a limited time.
Meri
Saturday, February 13, 2010thanks for the clarification…can I get it by online ? I’m not in US xD
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010Only if you’re a PRO member, I’m not sure what PRO members do if they’re outside the U.S., to be honest.
kfm
Saturday, February 13, 2010well… i have azalea already and i just picked up vibrant grape… so i think i can safely keep my hands off these.
Vijaya
Saturday, February 13, 2010Do you think full fushchia would be an appropriate color for someone of an NC50 skin tone?
Katie
Saturday, February 13, 2010I love love love love love blushes! They are my favorite makeup item and ever since you posted that this collection was coming out I knew I would have to get these. As long as I use a light hand they should look fine. :)
Cherie
Sunday, February 14, 2010Pretty!!! I love highly pigmented blushes b/c it feels like I’m actually wearing blush. I am a fan of NARS blushes b/c they give of so much colour with just a tap of your brush. I do have some MAC favourites and absolutely love Ripe Peach blush ombre.
I’m really wanting a purple blush to add to my collection. Christine, would you recommend Dirty Plum or Vintage Grape blush ombre or a different one?? I’m NW15 with brown eyes/hair. :)
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010I like Dirty Plum more, just because it has more versatility. Vintage Grape is pretty dark!
Cherie
Monday, February 15, 2010perfect! thanks lady :)
Lucie
Sunday, February 14, 2010I actually don’t like this collection (my wallet thanks me a lot haha). The fuchsia blush is beautiful, but MAC fuchsia pigment also does this job quite nicely (I love it during the summer).
amanda
Sunday, February 14, 2010Do you know how Full Fuchsia would compare to the bright pink blush that was sold for the Hello Kitty line? Thanks
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010More fuchsia, not as cool-toned as Tippy.
Bobbie
Sunday, February 14, 2010THese blushes are really pretty, I have passed on almost all the blushes that MAC has launched lately so I think I will pick up at least one (dirty plum)….I need to get a new blush brush though so I can apply it properly….
monica
Sunday, February 14, 2010can you swatch them in your face?
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010I’ll try!
jannette
Sunday, February 14, 2010when is it coming out?
Christine
Monday, February 15, 201018th
Dee
Monday, February 15, 2010How does Dirty Plum compare to vintage grape from the spring forecast collection?
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010It’s plummier – like it has more red in it, less “dirty.”
Meri
Wednesday, February 17, 2010is it comparable to MAC in Lilyland cremeblend blush in Florida ?
they look same.
MakeupbyKimPorter
Wednesday, February 17, 2010I like the full fuschia. The Dirty Plum blush is not too appealing to me. I liek the Vintage Grape Blush Ombre better
Mariel
Wednesday, February 17, 2010Oh, ick. Gotta say, I don’t think either of these shades is very wearable. That Plum one would make most women look like goth-chicks/corpses. First one could be very fun for an 80′s party, though!
sf
Thursday, February 18, 2010How does full fushia compare to lala e/s? I really want a bright pink e/s, if the blush is close to lala I would rather get this and have it be multipurpose.
Christine
Monday, February 22, 2010Very similar, but it doesn’t have the fuchsia sheen.
resham
Thursday, February 18, 2010i am so happy…I can easily skip this collection…
anna
Thursday, February 18, 2010Can this blush be used as a dupe for romping eyeshadow? Or is Lala e/s a better dupe for romping??? If they are not good dupes, what would be a good dupe for romping??
Christine
Monday, February 22, 2010I personally wouldn’t, just because since it’s not formulated for the eyes, it might not be eye safe!
Isneth
Wednesday, March 31, 2010omg the full fuchsia blush looks so gorgeous imma buy it sooooo soon!!!!! im excited cus i really love bright colors so its gonns fit just right!!!
Ferarri
Sunday, April 18, 2010I finally decided to buy the vintage grape but it was sold out. Then I saw Full Fuchsia! Bought it instead. Hope it will not disappoint. I never had such a super pigmented blusher before.
