MAC Stunner Blush
MAC Me Over: Stunner Blush
MAC Stunner Blush ($19.50 for 0.21 oz.) is described a “light coral pink” with a satin finish. It has more pink than coral–I would describe as a pale, strawberry pink with a hint of peach. It has a champagne-beige sheen, which gives it a less-than-perfectly-pink color. It is pinker than the softer side of MAC Mighty Aphrodite. It is a little lighter than Benefit Bella Bamba.
What’s nice about this shade is that despite its lightness, there is no chalky look or feel, and the pigmentation is there–but as a lighter color, it’s just light. I expect this shade to do well and be one of the more popular items from the launch; I think it will flatter cool and warm complexions. I do think it might be too light for deeper skin tones, but it might make a nice rosy highlighter.
Where to Buy: MAC Cosmetics, August 25th, $19.50
The Glossover
It seems unusual for a fall collection, and it's almost too warm to work with a lot of the vampy lip colors in the launch as well, but it should complement plummier shades like Offshoot.

Is it limited edition?
Yes.
Any dupes?
It is pinker than the softer side of MAC Mighty Aphrodite. It is a little lighter than Benefit Bella Bamba.
my stunner looks COMPLETELY different. whats up with that?!?!?!?!? its like a very pale light baby pink
I currently wear this shade and I lalalove it! I wasn't aware it was limited edition when I bought it. I wear Studio Fix Fluid in NC15. Do you know any similar shades that would suit me?! :)
MAC doesn't have a similar shade!
Oh I didn't mean MAC, just any blush in general! :P
your pic of the blush is very pretty. the color i received looks identical to mocha.
this looks like a beautiful blush. I definitely would buy this,I simply love peachy pink blushes. I like that it is more pink than coral.
Hi Christine, may I ask what's on your right cheek? I know it's not the focus of the photo but it seems like a nice, soft, barely there flush of color. :)
is it similer to fluer power blush
Just bought Offshoot and Stunner...love the combo together!
I love this! I have tarte's cheek stain in Tipsy and I think this would go fabulously with it! With my super pale skin peachy/pink on the cheeks gives me just enough of a natural flush :)
Is it similar to hipness?
Hello Christine Thank you for these great swatches. Do you think you will do any swatch comparisons like what your did for MAC Marine Life? In the meanwhile, I was wondering if you can comment how MAC Stunner compares to MAC Instant Chic (which was also described as a corally pink). Many thanks in advance for your insight ^_^
Hi! How does stunner compare to MAC springsheen?
Pinker, not peachy like Springsheen.
Would this be good for fair skintones? I'm around a NC15 in MAC foundations.
Sure!
This is beautiful, and your swatches convinced me I need it :)
It's quite pretty, but it won't work for me. I need cool-toned blushes.
Hi Christine? How would u compare to Warmth of Coral?
Do you think it's similar to Hipness? Thanks.
Nowhere near as coral
Very pretty! How does it compare with Hipness (To The Beach)? Thanks!
Much pinker
Hey Christine, do you think this is very similar to Chanel's blush Espiegle?
Pinker
Christine, your eyebrows are gorgeous! What do you do/use? How do you maintain?
MAC Espresso eyeshadow w/266 to fill in. Just tweeze!
Since I already have Bella Bamba, is Stunner worth getting? Which of the two would you recommend most? :)
I love blushes, so I bit the bullet and bought both Stunner and Equilibrium yesterday! I love them both! :D
Stunner is lighter so it's more everyday!
this is gorgeous, but I already have Mighty Aphrodite, so I'm going to pass on this
This looks so pretty and wearable. Gorgeous colour that I feel would look great on so many different skin tones.
is it a dupe of fleur power? if i have both fleur power and mighty Aphrodite, should I pass?
I don't have that, sorry!
ahoj, u nás na Slovensku ani v Čechách tento odtien nie je k dispozícii. Vedela by si mi ho poslať? dakujem
how would you say stunner is compared to alpha girl (in terms of pigmentation and color)? alpha girl did nothing for me and i read stunner wasn't very pigmented as well
Alpha Girl is a darker pink because of its matte finish, but this isn't chalky like Alpha Girl.
How about stunner compare with "My Highland Honey"??????thx
They're nothing alike - My Highland Honey is much more orange.
I love your pairing with the lipstick - both are gorgeous colours on you, especially the lips! The site looks great too, btw ;)
I have illamasqua hussy...do i really need this? i kinda love it but i will pass if its too simular
I’d say Hussy is darker – more pigmented. Since it’s matte, it will appear more vibrant, since there is no sheen or reflection of light, which gives the illusion of a lighter color overall.
would you compare this to Orgasm by Nars?
Orgasm has more peach in it.
omg u looked heaps pretty in that last shot of u posing with the blush! the camera/face angle is somehow heaps cool! :D
Wow, so that's just your natural flush on your right cheek? I'm jealous, you look gorgeous! This is a really pretty blush though. I think I'm tempted!
The color is hot but I wish this color was a cream blush instead of powder blush.
looks amazing on you
Wish it didn't have a silver pearl to it, wish it was warmer sheen instead of a silver one
ahhhh i'm dying for this collection to be released!
