MAC’s Powder Blush formula is supposed to be easy to apply, long-wearing, and have “fantastic colour.” It’s hard to generalize for MAC’s blush formula, because it varies a lot from shade to shade, even within different types of finishes! Some of them are very good, others are so-so, and a few are complete misses. The more frosted/shimmery shades tend to have the softest and smoothest textures and are easier to apply and blend out on the skin, while more satin and matte shades can sometimes be powdery, firm, or stiff, which makes blending more challenging. The wear is typically between six and nine hours but closer to seven to eight hours on average. Style had really good, nearly opaque color coverage with a soft, blendable texture that wasn’t powdery nor was it stiff. On the skin, it has a gorgeous sheen that doesn’t emphasize pores. The color wore well for eight hours before fading slightly.

This totally reminds me of Too Faced’s heart shaped blush in I Will Always Love You, one of my favorite blushes
I can see some similarities!
I thought this would be too light by the pan. But this is really pretty! An A- rating. I think I may need this one!
It comes out nicely, I think!
This is gorgeous on you!! Adding to my wishlist.
Thank you, Yvette!
How beautiful. I’m such a sucker for peach with gold shimmer. It gets me every time.
Me too 😉
Whoah!!! This one is a total shocker! In the pan, it looks so pale and blah that I was like, “Yeah, right, this won’t even show up on me!”, but on your actual cheeks, this is a kick-butt shade! Much, much brighter and more pigmented than I ever would’ve imagined. ?
It is a real winner 😀
Poor, neglected little MAC blush! It’s overpowered by the holiday palettes. No surprise there. Looks gorgeous on you, of course. And the dupes aren’t all that dupe-y. I’ve got 3 & they all look highly different from one another. I never thought of Romance, Rockateur, or Sugarbomb as looking anything alike! Actually, they do share some features…
It was surprising that there weren’t more similar dupes for it!
I like it, never thought I’d like a frost finish blush, but this is pretty.
It came out nicely on the skin!
Very nice on you. I think this one might be a bit too warm for me though.
Aw, thanks Erin!
I’m so here for how luminous this is!!! This is like blush and highlighter in one. Love this on you Christine!!!
Thank you, Ciara!
Wow, the color looks so beautiful on you! Maybe I should get another MAC blush…haven’t gotten one since “Petal.”
This is almost like Petal’s orange cousin 🙂
I love this shade. When I saw the swatches, I immediately thought of Nars Orgasm and Milani Luminoso.
Yay!
Do you think this is darker in tone than Margin, Christine? I had Margin for a while and it was too light for my skin, by the time I managed to get it to show my cheeks were crusted with shimmer. I’m around NC35.
I think Margin is darker!
Style was my first ever MAC blush and definitely my favourite blush of all time! So pretty!!
Awww!
