MAC’s Indulge Collection (online at MAC now, online elsewhere and in-stores on August 22nd for North America locations) features two new and limited edition Cremeblend Blush shades. Both shades had good color payoff that was true-to-pan and buildable, so you could get intense, rich color or softer, sheerer color–whatever desired. The consistency of the Cremeblend formula is lightly creamy but not heavy, and they set in about fifteen minutes. The wear varies between six and eight hours (for me), and I was able to get seven hours of wear out of Glamour Feast and just over six hours of wear with tease your tastes.

Glamour Feast Cremeblend Blush ($21.00 for 0.19 oz.) is described as a “deep rose.” It’s a rosy,r eddish plum with a natural finish–slightly glowy but not too luminous. It had good color payoff that was buildable, and the consistency was medium in thickness and creamy, so it was easy to blend out the color. NARS Realm of the Senses #2 is powder and warmer. NARS Seduction is powder and darker. NARS G-Spot is more shimmery. NARS Oasis is powder and pinker. NARS Dolce Vita is powder. See comparison swatches.

Tease Your Tastes Cremeblend Blush ($21.00 for 0.19 oz.) is described as a “soft neutral pink.” It’s a medium peach with a hint of rosiness. It has a natural finish–not too dewy, not matte. It had buildable color that was true-to-pan if desired but could also be sheered out. NARS Gilda is more orange, powder. MAC Fleet Fast is pinker, powder. MAC Early Morning is more orange, powder. MAC Ladyblush is lighter, pinker. Burberry Blossom is slightly pinker, powder. Chanel Presage is more orange, brighter. Marc Jacobs Irresistible is more orange, powder. Edward Bess Secret Affair is more coral. Urban Decay Naked Flushed is slightly darker, matte, powder. See comparison swatches.
