MAC Supernova Mineralize Blush
MAC Supernova Mineralize Blush ($23.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “magenta and burnished gold melange.” It’s a brightened raspberry pink with subtle blue undertones and a subtle sheen. It contains swirls of golden peach-orange and neon magenta pink. MAC Weekend Getaway is similar in color when used softly. Tom Ford Wicked is cooler-toned, frostier, and lighter. Tarte Amused is much brighter and bluer-based. Illamasqua Seduce is similar, slightly more plum. MAC Feeling Flush is a bit lighter and cooler-toned. MAC Amazonian Princess is comparable, slightly redder. MAC Full Fuchsia is a bit more fuchsia.
This shade applied smoothly without emphasizing pores or any imperfections of my skin’s texture, but it wasn’t quite as blendable as I’d expect. It’s not stubborn, but I wouldn’t say it’s easily blended and diffused–just so-so there. It’s very pigmented, so a light hand is a must, and if you want something soft and sheer, I’d recommend using a stippling brush like MAC’s 188. Because it’s not super blue-based, it should work well across under tones, and the intense color payoff means it will be viable on the lightest and deepest complexions. Supernova wore seven and a half hours on me before starting to fade noticeably.

Such a great color and it looks fab in the pan!
how much bolder is this tan subtle breeze?
Wayyy bolder!
@Christine (Temptalia)
Thanks I guess since I’m still scared of subtle breeze maybe i don’t need brighter bolder things right now
It looks kind of chalky in texture, but maybe that;s the swirls looking off as chalky?
It seems like they’ve been releasing this kind of color a lot lately.
Oh god. Now I have that Oasis song stuck in my head.
This is gorgeous, though! 🙂 I always gravitate towards this family of colors. They actually give my deathly fair skin some life. If I had the cash, I would definitely be ordering it.
It’s really pretty 🙂
This is the only blush I’m even remotely interested in. Most of the Mac blushes lately have been warm-toned and I just look better in cool-toned hues. I’ll at least give it a try.
Ohhhh!!! YESS I I need this!
I’m not usually into mineralize blushes, but this looks so pretty! Looks very nice in the pics. xx
LOVE IT. Totally a bright doesnt look so wearable blush kind of gal xx
When I saw that this was similar to Tarte Amused (which I have), I thought I’d pass but it looks so different on you, Christine – a bit darker and more dramatic – so I might just have to check this one out!
*cries* I waited too long to order it and it’s sold out. 🙁
YESS! This will be sold out for sure! Ive never been to the release day for MAC counters. Does it get crazy and is there long lines?
I want this just because of the name!!
No long lines… But sold out products for sure.
Don’t forget that Nordstrom, Macy’s, Dillard’s, Bloomingdale’s all will launch it online, too
And they also do Pre sale.. Im getting mine today.. Down side, I have to wait till next week to get them
Is it sold out already?? Oh man! This one is GORGEOUS! Favorite one thus far!
Really, really cute! Want it, but I have so many blushes right now 🙂
Thanks for all the reviews!! 🙂 Is Supernova comparable to Nars Desire?
Darker, less blue-based.
it’s pretty cute
The swatch looks very reddish, but it’s a lovely pink on you.
i just got benefit bella bamba. how do they compare? as a girl with not too many blushes & wanting more different shades, would it be worth having both? thx christine!
@gmarie24 Bella Bamba isn’t as bright and is a darker pink. I don’t think you need both if you’re looking for a better spectrum of shades.
oh it’s sold out already? good thing I din’t really liked that one…pink blush does not fit my red hair
I’m loving this colour! I might have to pick it up if I can find it.
I ordered this one Wednesday and it’s supposed to be here tomorrow. Cannot wait to get it! The color looks amazing!
Gorgeous color!
how does it compare to Mac’s Buddy Up ?
@Suemalga This is much pinker!
Oh, that’s so pretty on you!! I can’t wait to try it at the counter next week.
I love Supernova, so bright ! I have ( too ) many blushes but I don’t think I have so bright a one !
Just ordered this from Nordstrom. Can’t wait to see it in person. I must admit, I bought it solely because of the name and the way it looks I the pan. Hopefully it will look good on me :D. But I’ll keep it nonetheless as it is the only piece I bought from this collection.
This looks so pretty!
Christine, how would this compare to the Grand Duo mineralize blush from Sugarsweet?
@SRE Grand Duo seems a lot lighter!
I picked this up today after reading this, I love it! It’s my first time using a mineralize blush! When I swirl my brush in lightly, there’s a lot of excess powder! Are all of the mineralize blushes like that? I don’t mind it that much though! This review was so helpful! Thank you! <3
This blush is no joke! I’m an nw30 and you need to use a VERY light hand….but the color is very pretty:)
How do this blush compare to lovething?
