MAC Azalea Blossom Blush Ombre
MAC Spring Colour Forecast: Blush Ombres Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Each part includes one “Blush Ombre,” which is a new product type. The Blush Ombres are really pretty to look at, and they are pretty large. They’re the size of MAC’s Beauty Powders, Pressed Powders, etc. Each of the Blush Ombres has a gradient that fades from one color to another, but in reality, you just swirl your brush on top to apply a single shade. These are all decently pigmented and feel like more pigmented beauty powders from the ultra soft, silky texture. Each blush is 9 grams / 0.31 oz. and retails for $25.00.
Official MAC description: A powder blush featuring a shade wave of gentle ombre hues. Ultra-fine formula provides the cheeks with flawless, medium-buildable coverage and lightly pearled, natural-looking radiance. Limited edition.
Blush Ombres
- Azalea Blossom swirls together to blend into a soft, cool-toned pink with an almost lilac to it. For some reason, it reminded me of Saint Germain Lipstick in its coolness and pink tone, but it’s quite obviously not that cool-toned nor the same tone of pink. While there’s definitely shimmer in the powder, it’s very subtle when applied.
- Ripe Peach is a peachy-orange with subtle gold sheen/shimmer. Like all of the blush ombres, the shimmer is very minimal and hard to see.
- Vintage Grape is a dirty plum-purple. There’s nearly no shimmer that you can detect when applied, and it is surprisingly dark. Luckily, when applied with a brush, you can build up the intensity so you don’t look like someone punched you in the cheek!
- Springshine is a dirty medium-brown that reads fairly neutral. I could see this working as maybe a bronzer or a pop of bronze on cheeks. Like the other shades in this product family, the shimmer is very subtle.

I was going to get Ripe Peach but now after seeing the swatches it looks way too orange for my NW15 skin.
Connie

I wanted Ripe Peach too, but I agree, it looks very orange…
Anna
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I totally agree, sadly :(

I’m NW15 and ripe peach is GORGEOUS on my super pale skin. I would definitely try it on before you rule it out, as I didn’t think it would work either and I actually liked it more than Azalea Blossom which surprised me.
Cherie
Thursday, February 11, 2010
Totally agree! And I’m an NW15 gal too :) Ripe Peach is amazingly pretty! I wasn’t even going to get it but then fell in love with it!

I’m so glad to hear this. I was hunting high and low (all stores in and around NE sold out of Ripe Peach. I finally called a store in NYC that still had a few in stock and ordered two. I was getting worried as people were commenting it looked too orange. I am an NW15 as well, so this is good news!
raquel
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Totally agree as well! I’m a NC 20 and Ripe Peach looks waaayyy batter than Azalea Blossom on me.

Wow, I love Azaela Blossom and Ripe Peach!
Christina
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
LOL, the Vibrant Grape Blush Ombre swatch looks like a bruise
ak

In that case, bruises are good! LOL
Melissa (divinem)
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
LOL – I thought the same thing! Def not for me.

Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I’m definitely gonna get the first two. The other two seem to dark for me (I’m not good with applying with a light hand).
Mina
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Christine! Which one would recommend out of these 4?
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Depends on your skin tone! I’d say either Azalea Blossom or Ripe Peach!
Kristina
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Christine, you are the Queen of Beauty Blogging. This single collection contains at least one week’s worth of posts for a typical blog.
There is commentary, arm and lip swatches, and tonnes of photos–I don’t know how you do it.
Bravo.
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
LOL! I don’t know about that, but thank you :)

Which two would you ladies recommend for a NC45 skintone?
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Vibrant Grape & Ripe Peach.
Vickie
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Want Ripe Peach so bad–hoping it will look good on my NW20ishness!
Christa
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
How does Ripe Peach compare to Springsheen? Oh I love these!
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
It doesn’t have the shimmer, and it’s more peach than peach-pink!
Bella
Friday, February 5, 2010
I’m sorry, I’m confused. Which one doesn’t have the shimmer and is more peach?
Would Springsheen be a good bronzer for a NW20?
Christine
Monday, February 8, 2010
Springsheen has more shimmer. If you’re looking for a bronzer, you could look at Honesty or Trace Gold.
mlou
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Azalea Blossom looks gorgeous!!
Marcy
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Ripe Peach looks gorgeous! Azalea blossom looks good too, and I can see Springshine as a bronzer, but the other one…. bruised like, would hate to see it on my Asian skin.
aradhana
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
these look pretty…but i think i’m going to have to control myself because this collection is way too huge! i would have thought spacing out the collections would be a better marketing strategy….?
Bridgette
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
OMG! I must must must get Ripe Peach!!!

Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I’m not sure if i would buy any of these.
they’re just all so “out there”.
not for daywear ( i think ) .
Vijaya
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Would you describe Springshine as a shimmery shade, Christine?
Christine
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
No, none of them were really shimmery to me, IMO!
Emma
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Wow – I really want the Azalea Blossom !
Christine, I was wondering, do they have a see-through top or just the plain black ones?
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Clear!
Andrea
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
They are certainly pretty to look at but yikes the swatches!
khaye
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
hi christine,do you think the azalea blossom and the ripe peach will look good on my skintone?? i use NW30.thanks.
Jenni
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Hey Christine (or anyone else reading),
What skin tone would be best for purple/lilac blushes? I’ve usually stuck to pinks as blushes (I’m NC25, asian skin tone btw). Is it geared toward people with darker (and cooler?) complexion?
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
I think you could work it, Jenni ;)
RachelMarie
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I wanted Azaela Blossom and Ripe Beach, but I’m extremely fair and the first is too purple toned and the second too orange… glad I’m saving myself $50! The rest of this collecting is bankrupting me though
Christa
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
How does Ripe Peach compare to Springsheen. Is Ripe Peach as orange as it looks? THanks!
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
It’s very peachy, IMO!
jelena
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Azalea bloossom reminds me of Stark Naked
amy
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Ripe peach is very pretty.
alisha
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
just got Vintage Grape today.. I can say it looks NOTHING like that swatch and is acctually a gorrrrrrrrgeous plum color when buffed out/applied with the 187.. I’m in LOVE with this blush!!!
Aleksis
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Wow can’t believe how many people want these…I think they are kinda fugly lol
Az
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Hmm I wanted to get Azalea Blossom but now I guess it’s a lil bit cool for me, so just Ripe Peach. Do you think it can be orange for NC30?
Christine
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Ohh, it’s not too cool!!! All of them would work on just about all skin tones – they go on so softly and can be built up!
Christy
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I think I’ll pick up Ripe Peach and Azalea Blossom.
Irene
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Hi Christine, do u think springshine and vintage grape will be to dark on my NC20 skin?
Christine
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Nope, not at all!!
Elizabeth
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I Love the way they look in the pan and was totally lemming these but now that I see the swatches I’m not so sure. Makes me sad.
Radhika
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I ordered a bunch of lip stuck online, but now I think I should’ve got ripe peach… I kept debating whether to get it or not. I think I’m going to have to get that one in person. ps, is it just me or does Ripe Peach look a little like NARS’ Orgasm in the pan?
Christine
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
IMO, it doesn’t have the pink that Orgasm has, and it’s not shimmery like Orgasm either!
ak
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
The Ripe Peach looks more slight-pink/coral-ish on you Christine, and I’d rather it would look more orange-y though on me an NC45. What do you think Christine is it worth me buying it?
The Vintage Grape and even strangely enough the Azalea Blossom look OK to me though, I’m comtemplating buying the Vintage Grape even though I always wanted an orange blush, not a plum one.
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
The great thing about these is you can layer it – so it doesn’t go on cheeks like it does on the swatch unless you build it up! :)
Sun
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Ripe Peach or Joie de Vivre? Now I am confused… What would you buy if you had to buy just one?
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
I’d say Joie de Vivre, just because the product type is more unique and versatile.
coco72
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
I love Vibrant Grape!!!
Natalie
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Is Azalea Blossom similar to Stark Naked?
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
IMO, it’s much, much paler/lighter. I wouldn’t think of them as similar personally!
Natalie
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Thanks Christine, it helped :)
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Yay :)
S
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Christine, how close is Azalea Blossom to Dame? Thanks!
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Has more of a lilac/purple vibe than Dame, but it has the same coolness of it.
kfm
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
That’s actually what I was about to ask. I have Dame, so I’m glad to know that there’s potentially enough difference that I can excuse myself for buying it. The Ripe Peach does look a little orange for my skin (NW15- although I own and wear the PRO shade “Devil”, which is way more intense), but I might try that. Likewise Vibrant grape, since it doesn’t seem too close to anything I have already. Eventually, I’ll have to pick one.
Mina
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Christine! Can you please tell me if this colour is similar to MAC’S PINK SWOON, because I just recently purchased that and I wouldn’t wanna get a similar blush
Christine
Monday, February 8, 2010
IMO, no.
Never Enough Nails
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
I was going to get all of these, but I think Springshine would make me look dirty, so I think I’ll be getting the other three. I just think the ombre pattern is SO cool!
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
You can use it so lightly, so it’d still work… if you really wanted it :)
Asha
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Hi!! I was wondering if On a mission blush could be a possible dupe for Vintage grape?
Christine
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
It’s a little more pinky-purple, I’d say. Vintage Grape is a little more on the purple side, I’d say! They’re similar, just not the same :)
knownever
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
In the pan Azalea Blossom is the most breathtaking of the four, but in terms of on the skin I’m torn between Ripe Peach and Vibrant Grape. I’ve never seen anything like this color gradient blush before.
Audrey
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
yay! I bought all 4 of the blush ombre’s! My favorite is Azalea Blossom! I got it last night at the launch party in my town!

i want Azalea Blossom i think it would compliment my fair cool toned skin. so pretty!
Reyna
Thursday, February 4, 2010
How do you think Springshine and Ripe Peach would look against NC45 skin tone? I love the swatches but I’m leery that they wont show up much.
Christine
Monday, February 8, 2010
I think Springshine would show up, but Ripe Peach would be subtle.
Erika
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Is it vintage grape or vibrant grape? (like the eyeshadow)
Christine
Monday, February 8, 2010
It’s Vintage Grape!
Jackie
Sunday, February 7, 2010
you should totally do actual cheek swatches or something, lol
anyways i ordered Azalea Blossom for my fair/light beige/pink undertone skin, i figured i’d stay safe until i actually get to try ripe peach in person :)
Sparrow

I just purchased Azaela Blossom and Ripe Peach last night!!! Soooo pretty… Wearing Azaela Blossom today… :)

Christine

Ripe Peach
Holly
Thursday, February 11, 2010
For those of you who have tried Ripe Peach, is it comparable to a blush in the perm line? I like the color but I don’t really like the idea of spending 25 bucks, haha.
Christine
Friday, February 12, 2010
Springsheen is probably the closest… maybe Peaches (but has no coral/pink).
Holly
Sunday, February 14, 2010
Cool, thank you!
Debbie Racho
Friday, February 12, 2010
ahhh, i want to go back to MAC and get ripe peach..i wasn’t sure about it last night when i was there!!!

I am a NW 45(brown skin),same skintone as Gabrielle Union, and Ripe Peach is sooooooo gorgeous! I was nervous at first have no fear,trust me,it is beautiful on the skin.It gives the right hint of peach it doesn’t show up orange at all! Its totally spring and summer and since it LE I will be purchasing another. I think I want Vintage Grape I have Hot Planet mineralize duo blush that can sub for Azalea blossom. I know we on blushes but Fresh Salmon paired with Kumquat is gorgeous for brown girls as well. Hope this helps!
Emy
Sunday, February 14, 2010
Mmmm, do you think Springsheen could be a good contour on NW15 skin??
Ripe peach is sooo lovely but I’m just not a blush kinda girl..
Christine
Monday, February 15, 2010
It might, but it does run a little more bronze than “natural contour” kind of color.
jenna
Monday, February 15, 2010
i really like the ripe peach and think it is . i’ve been using it a lot now that i have bought. i think i might go back for the springshine!! =) idk i have been on a blush hype lately since i have almost used up most of my shy beauty.
Jessica
Monday, February 15, 2010
Since i have MAC’s Well Dressed do you think it would be a mistake getting Azalea Blossom even with the lilac tint?
Christine
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Nah, not at all!
Mika chan
Friday, February 26, 2010
Do you know of a dupe for Ripe Peach?
Christine
Monday, March 1, 2010
Springsheen by MAC is kind of similar.
Ferarri

Vintaga Grape is so beautiful on my asian yellow tone skin. I am considering to buy it next week. It looks dark purple on the pan but a nice rosy berry on my cheeks….so beautiful. RM105 here, compared with the normal blush of RM75, but the size is more than double the normal blush…9 gm instead of 4 gm. Gram for gram, it is cheaper!
Coco
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
I bought the ripe peach :D. It’s so lovely!!
Catherine
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
Are all blush ombres limited edition?
Christine

Yes!
