MAC Look Don't Touch! Extra Dimension Blush Review & Swatches
Look Don't Touch
MAC Look Don’t Touch Extra Dimension Blush ($31.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and a soft sheen. It was less shimmery compared to most of the shades in this formula, though it still had a glowing finish that was noticeable but didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture.
It had nearly opaque pigmentation that was easily built up to full coverage if desired. The texture was smooth to the touch, dense (so not at all powdery) but not stiff to work with, so it picked up well with a dry brush and blended out with ease. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$31.00/0.14 oz. - $221.43 Per Ounce
The Extra Dimension Blush formula is supposed to have “long-wearing colour with prismatic reflections” that wears for “10 hours.” The formula is typically very pigmented with a soft, smooth texture that’s firmer in the pan but not difficult to use–I had no issues grabbing color with even my softest brushes–and has no dustiness or powderiness in the pan. The blushes are usually blendable with a luminous glow on the cheeks that did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. With MAC’s newly-added permanent shades, the wear time has ranged from eight to ten hours.

Yes, this is as good as I thought it would be from the swatches. My only concern with this blush shade is the warm undertones, but I don’t detect any goldie kind of undertone oon you Christine. I like the finish of it too.
Tarina Taratino came up in the dupes and I had a little moment remembering some of her fun offerings.
Pretty blush. I have a kinda sorta dupe, but good enough.
Makes me feel like spring is here. Lovely shade of glowy pink, however I do have Becca Hibiscus Bloom and also the much darker Nars Adrenaline, so I’m undecided.
Yay thank you for getting the reviews out for these blushes so soon! I’ve decided to pick up Look Don’t Touch! and Under My Plum from this collection (these two are also my first blushes from Mac ever). Can’t wait to try them out for myself! The packaging totally won me over
Very pretty!
Also thanks for reminding me I have Hibiscus Bloom! It’s the only makeup I brought to Costa Rica in a small backpack a couple years ago and it holds such great memories.
Going to dig that palette out today!
This must be a shade I like….4 dupes….
Very pretty!
