Sweet Enough
MAC Sweet Enough Mineralize Blush ($29.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a soft, slightly dusty texture that was a bit thin. For the type of hue, I expected it to apply with next to no effort, but the thinness and matte finish did seem to make it apply a little unevenly initially. I was able to blend and diffuse the color onto my cheeks for even coverage, and it wasn’t particularly onorous. This shade lasted for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$29.00/0.11 oz. - $263.64 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to "build lightly" and "glide onto skin" for "luminous color." Most shades in the range have more medium to semi-opaque coverage, which tends to be buildable to opaque coverage, but most shades are not truly sheer in coverage. The texture used to be drier but has become smoother and more finely-milled over the years. The finish is typically luminous but can be metallic or almost matte depending on the particular shade. They wear between six and eight hours on me.

I love this shade, but it’s not a high enough rating for a $29 price tag, and there’s nothing on the dupe list that seems much better. Oh well. Money saved.
I am really loving these very neutral, natural shades that MAC has done in their Mineralize formula with this soft matte finish. This pink looks like a very natural flush instead of something vividly unnatural. Again, another good one for professional or understated looks.
A gorgeous shade that would work well on an everyday basis as it is not too shimmery or glittery.
