MAC Sea Me, Hear Me Extra Dimension Blush
MAC Sea Me, Hear Me Extra Dimension Blush

MAC Sea Me, Hear Me Extra Dimension Blush ($27.50 for 0.22 oz.) is described as a “beige pink.” It’s a muted, warm-toned coral with a satiny sheen. The texture was incredibly soft, finely-milled, and smooth, but it never veered powdery; it was extremely blendable on the skin, and it had good pigmentation that was buildable. It wore well for almost eight hours on me before starting to fade. Divergent Obscure Coral (LE) is warmer, more shimmery. Hourglass Mood Exposure (P, $35.00) is lighter. MAC Autoerotique (LE, $25.00) is brighter, pinker. Charlotte Tilbury Ecstasy (P) is lighter. Tarte Dazzled (P, $26.00) is similar. Benefit Rockateur (P, $28.00) is lighter. MAC Fleet Fast (LE, $21.00) is brighter, more shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

MAC Seduced at Sea Extra Dimension Blush ($27.50 for 0.22 oz.) is described as a “mid-tone neutral plum.” It’s a muted, medium orange with a hint of pinky-red and a golden shimmer. It had good color payoff, while the consistency was soft, velvety, and smooth. I had no issues applying it to the skin, blending it out, or getting it to look even. The shimmer didn’t emphasize pores either, which was a happy surprise. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me. MAC Modern Mandarin (P, $21.00) is more shimmery, redder, brighter. MAC Bad Girl Gone Good (LE, $21.00) is less shimmery, darker. NARS Soulshine #2 (LE, $29.00) is lighter. NARS Gilda (P, $29.00) is redder. MAC Fiery Impact (LE, $25.00) is darker, less shimmery.

I love MAC’s extra dimension blushes, so I’m definitely going to be picking these up! I think this collection is going to make me so broke… but no regrets 😀

ziska Avatar

Thanks! I want to pick up one I cant resist the packaging, if you should recommend one for me which would it be? Im a NC45

I like the extra dimension blush better than the regular formula. Tempted to pick up Sea Me Hear Me although Mood Exposure is one of the two Hourglass blushes I’ve had on wishlist for awhile. Hmm…

I see seduced sea looks orange, and I hate orange anything. I am getting sea me hear me, I like the colour and the packaging of course, I hope it isnt anything Iike I already have, I want to buy it guilt free!

Michaela Avatar

I got excited when I saw that there was a plum blush, but Seduced at Sea is definitely too warm and orange for me! I’ll probably just get the make-up bag so I can get the mirror with the pretty packaging!

Danielle Avatar

I still haven’t tried these, but I may pick one up this time around. I thought for sure I was going to love Seduced at Sea, but Sea Me, Hear Me is really calling to me more!

Lizzi Avatar

Ooooooo! I have to get Sea Me, Hear Me for my collection no matter what! Thanks to my uncle I love The Who and that’s obviously ripped from them. Love it!!

Chrissie Avatar

I love how the Sea Me, Hear looks on you! I really like it but I have autoerotique (haven’t used it). Is the difference that noticeable? If it was more like At Dusk, I wouldn’t even hesitate.

Gina Avatar

How does the consistency/wear/texture of these compare to MAC’s Mineralize Blush(Dainty)? I find that when Dainty is so easy to apply and goes on my skin perfectly. I wondered how close these formulas were to the Mineralize Blushes. Thank you

Natalie Avatar

Sea Me Hear Me looks so good, but I already have Rockateur and Clinique’s Ginger Pop so I can’t justify another blush like this. =( Thank you so much for the review and swatches!

Raquel Avatar

Thank goodness for your swatches. I feel like I can’t tell what the product really looks like at all based Macs site. Definitely getting both, plus I love the packaging.

Christine, these really show up lovely on you! It doesn’t hurt that you have gorgeous glowing skin anyway 🙂 I was wondering, how does Sea Me, Hear Me compare to Hourglass’ Mood Exposure? I know you’ve reviewed that as well and I have that one in my collection. I adore Mood Exposure and Sea Me, Hear Me looks lovely but also very similar–is it worth owning both, or are they more or less dupes?

A final note: High five for Parure de Lumière!! It’s my favorite, and it suits you beautifully 🙂 Guerlain really do fab foundations if you can get a shade match, don’t they?

Christine Avatar

Mood Exposure is lighter, not quite as warm-toned, but it’s similar. It’s listed above and you can see it side-by-side if you click on “view on the Dupe List!” 🙂

Guerlain’s foundations are amazing – but you’re so right, ONLY if you can fit into the range. As is, I have to mix two shades to get mine!

Leticia Avatar

I definitely don’t need another blush, but these are so pretty and the packaging is ridiculously gorgeous……I wish they weren’t so shimmery, but I might be convinced to get one when I swatch them in person. These are quite pricey, ouch…..

Sara Avatar

Hi Christine! I would like to pick up one of these blushes tomorrow with the release. Which do you think would suit an nw20 skin tone better? I have rockateur and love it of those you listed and have toyed with buying mood exposure too… Thanks for the excellent swatches. 🙂

Hi Christine,

I bought both and I must say I am quite impressed, I do love extra dimension formula because it’s smoother than the normal one.
I would say that sea me hear me could be a bit compared to small vanity from glamour daze collection.
It could be a dupe. I see similarities when applied. anyhow I always wanted a back up of small vanity so I’ m happy..
