MAC Ring of Saturn Mineralize Blush

MAC Ring of Saturn Mineralize Blush ($23.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “terracotta and gold melange.” It’s a gold-shimmered coral-red with warm undertones.  The powder contains a pinky-peach and muted red. Tom Ford Savage is more muted, more matte, but very similar in base color. MAC Buddy Up is less red, darker. MAC Fleet Fast is pinker. MAC Modern Mandarin is more orange, less red, brighter.

Ring of Saturn packs plenty of color punch; you may find you need to use a lighter hand during application to avoid going overboard.  It has a soft, faint golden shimmer-sheen that didn’t seem to emphasize pores or the texture of the skin.  The texture of the powder was soft, smooth, and came together nicely both swatched and applied to cheeks.  When I wore this shade yesterday to see how well it would wear, it managed seven and a half hours and looked only a wee bit faded after eight hours.
