Rose Gold Glow

MAC Rose Gold Glow Strobe Face Glaze ($28.00 for 0.5 oz.) appears as a darker, reddish-coral base with cooler, iridescent pink pearl throughout, but it was translucent and very sheer, as marketed, so the end result resulted in a barely-there, warmer pink tint on my skin tone.

It had a slightly thicker, somewhat tacky consistency that had a high-gloss finish that never dried down, which achieved a certain look but was a higher-maintenance effect that may not work for everyone as it was prone to catching hair flyaways. It applied best with a fingertip on bare skin and gently with a stippling brush over base products to avoid lifting. It lasted for five hours before sliding/moving around noticeably.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

This looks a little bit like Kevyn Aucoin Glass Glow Face in Cosmic Glow. Not a full on dupe but similar..

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

I guess oily looking cheeks are “in” or something. Mine don’t need the extra help. I just have to let my pores run free for a day!
