MAC x Disney Aladdin Rose Pigment Reviews & Swatches
Rose
MAC Rose Pigment ($21.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and much warmer, golden shimmer (and lots of it!) that gave it a metallic finish. It’s a loose product, but it has a chunkier shimmer to it–more frosted than most shimmers are these days–and tends to work best really pressed and patted on with fingertips or applied with a wet brush.
Applied dry as an eyeshadow, I find it tends to have a fair amount of fallout (even when I’m careful), but it goes on rather nicely when applied to my cheeks (dry, loose) and really buffed out on my skin as it is a larger area (and I think fallout tends to fall off the face vs. fall under the eyes when it’s used as a blush).
It had medium pigmentation applied dry, whereas it had opaque coverage when applied with a wet brush as the powder came together more readily and adhered better to my skin. The formula is designed to have more buildable and adjustable coverage, which I’d agree with for the most part. The color stayed on well for eight hours with minimal fading on me.

The shade, as both an eyeshadow and a blush, is really pretty – but it’s the sparkles that are offputting to me.
Rose (plus Vanilla) pigments have long been on my radar. For the longest time, I had to abstain from buying them because of a rather rambunctious and quite large Maine Coon Cat named Scunci. Well, Mr. Scrunch has calmed down a great deal now that he’s a 14 y.o. senior cat. I’ve been able to use my Patrick Starrr pigment without incident, so I just might get this.
MAC Rose pigment is such a classic shade and one of my favorites. It’s very nice to see you highlighting its versatility by using it as blush and eyeshadow. Can’t remember if it’s lip-safe, but it would be gorgeous pressed on to lips as a highlight or mixed with clear gloss. It is so beautiful on you! Glad they released this one again!
