Make Up For Ever I736 Copper Red Artist Shadow (Blush)
Make Up For Ever I736 Copper Red Artist Shadow (Blush)Make Up For Ever I736 Copper Red Artist Shadow (Blush) ($21.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a bold, brightened, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a golden copper, frosted sheen. Make Up For Ever ME734 Tangerine (P, $21.00) is brighter, more orange. LORAC Nude #5 (LE) is browner. Becca Papaya/Topaz (P, $27.00) is browner. Makeup Geek Goddess (P, $5.99) is less shimmery, slightly browner. MAC Pleasure Model (LE, $25.00) is more muted, browner. Sleek MakeUP Sunset #9 (P, $9.99) is darker. NARS Taj Mahal (P, $29.00) is lighter, brighter. Make Up For Ever #10 (P, $23.00) is more orange, cream. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
It is intensely pigmented, and it’s a blush where a little goes a long way. The creamier, denser texture makes it easier to apply, blend, and diffuse for a softer application if so desired. It can also just as easily be applied at full color coverage for a more dramatic, richer look. Your choice in tools will make a world of difference with a blush as pigmented as this one; I highly recommend a less dense, stippling-type brush (I like MAC’s 159) for applying color, and if you feel like it’s still too bold, you can use a buffing brush to soften further or take a colored setting powder to tone it down (alternatively, I often use my foundation brush to diffuse edges). The finish has more shimmer in it than some of the other blushes in the range, but it didn’t emphasize pores and appears more pearly than shimmery on. As a blush, the color lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.

Now that’s a beautiful copper!
Agreed!
Ooh, I like how this one gives you a proper glow! Kind of like your cheek is an ember, but in a soft, pretty way, not an OMGMYFACEISONFIRE way… 😀
LOL!
This is beautiful Christine and doesn’t look as orange on. Your swatches always make me sit up and take notice of shades that I’d ordinarily walk right past.
It’s a great option for orange if you don’t want BOOM! orange!
There’s no Goddess under the current selections of MUG blushes. (?) Care to explain? Or, don’t bother, bec. it might take some digging + too much time to figure it out. given your increasing time crunch. It’s not an e/s in Vegas Lights, is it? Never mind, I’ll look. This one is DDG (drop dead gorgeous), but cheap dupe, when it’s MUG, + fab, + is that close, would be card-friendly.
Goddess is an eyeshadow! 🙂 http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/eye-products/eyeshadows/makeup-geek-eyeshadows/makeup-geek-eyeshadow-pan-goddess.html
I love these kind of colors! I already have Pleasure Model but this looks so much more rich in color. I really like the subtle golden sheen too. So perfect for everyday!
It’s definitely a richer, bolder take on that type of color!
I would have never thought to use this as a blush. I have NARS Taj Mahal and even though it looks scary in pan, when applied lightly, it’s the perfect summer glow. I can’t imagine how beautifully this must apply. Almost half the shadows from the range are sold out on Sephora so these things must be good. You’ve given me another lemming hahah.
Thanks for the post!
Here’s hoping others like these as much as I have, May! I get nervous when I REALLY like products that everyone else will hate them, lol!
Hahha well I can’t speak for everyone, but you’re my favorite trusted reviewer. And you shouldn’t be nervous. Ppl like/dislike things for different reasons. THATS THE BEAUTY OF MAKEUPPPP
That is very true, May! Thank you! <3
That color looks such a pretty peach on you! I’d have never given it a second glance for a blush! is it the application or the product? Which brush do you use for blushes Christine?
If it’s the finish, it’s the blush more than anything! I used MAC 159 for this!
I quite like the shimmer in this blush!
Me too!
Wow! That is simply stunning. I may definitely have to check this one out in person.
It is a lovely shade! 🙂
Is it just me, or does it look like your left cheek is pink and the right is copper!? Lol
Yes, they are different.
It looks pink on your right cheek. O__o
I almost always have to swatch with different blushes on each side, as I only can do about 2 swatches per cheek before my skin gets irritated.
i’ve always wondered that! It’s gorgeous on you, both of them.
WTB darker, warmer skintone! There is no way I can pull this off with my NW15 skin!
Awwwww! But you can do all the pretty pinks and lavenders that I can’t!
So this is slightly OT but Christine, I am still in love with the MUFE 30 Years Palette. I used a lot of the brights and smokes in my rehearsal test look and it lasted through the day. Can’t wait to play with it more. Except now I want all remaining 180 shades 😛
Woohoo!! I’m so glad you love it, Celia 🙂 It’s a fantastic formula!
It’s so pretty:) I wonder if I could pull this off in the fall/winter!!
I bet you could ;D
It’s a stunner for sure!
It’s so bold!
Wow! It looks a bit intimidating in the swatch but I love the glow it gives 🙂
With the right tool and application, it can be totally wearable!
Can I use this as eyeshadow?
In the U.S., it is listed as a blush because it is not eye safe.
That is absolutely gorgeous. What a fantastic shade for fall.
I love the brown-ish tones to it – I think that’s what makes me think fall as well!
OHHH, mommy likey! Not for me but nice for ladies with warm or dark skin!
It would be lovely on darker skin!
Oh man! Not a colour for the faint-hearted!!
That is true!
Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.
Agreed x3!
This looks so gorgeous on you! Fantastically glowing!!
Thank you, Karen!
I know it is a bit off topic and the palette is currently sold out at Sephora, but is there any chance for a full review of the 30th anniversary palette before it sells out a second time? You’ve reviewed a lot of the colors and they mostly get good grades, but what about the palette as a whole?
Hi Rebecca,
I’m just reviewing the individual shades! 🙂 The palette score would just be an average of all 30 eyeshadows.
I swear I’m not usually so much of a jerk, just this palette has been haunting my dreams. Someone on Sephora said it wasn’t worth it if you were cool or neutral toned as most of the Neutrals palette is quite warm. Would you say that was true?
I would say that just depends on what kind of colors you wear – because you don’t have to only wear cool-tones or neutral-tones if you are cool/neutral, you know? I would look at the kit and think about what color combos come to mind, which shades do you think you’d use a lot? I think it’s a great palette, and there are more warm shades than cool ones, but some of the warmer ones are also darker, smokier shades that aren’t orange-based.
I was waiting for that too! So far the average seems to be A I think.
This is so vibrant! I love it as a blush, and would probably use it as a blush and as an eyeshadow, as I suppose it’s safe for European eyes 🙂 I would probably not use it as blush and eyeshadow at the samt time though. But, you never know 😀
It probably is safe for European eyes, lol!
didn’t think i’d like a color like this, but it looks amazing on you, wow!
Thanks, Meghan!
