Makeup Geek Rendezvous Blush
Makeup Geek Rendezvous Blush ($9.99 for 0.15 oz. pan; $12.99 for 0.15 oz. compact) is described as a “rosy to medium pink with purple undertones.” It’s a medium-dark, muted, cool-toned pink with a mostly matte finish. Makeup Geek Hanky Panky (P, $9.99) is brighter, more shimmery. MAC Young at Heart (LE, $20.00) is lighter. Clinique Plum Pop (04) (P, $21.00) is more shimmery, slightly brighter. NARS New Attitude (LE, $29.00) is lighter, warmer. Milani Delizioso Pink (10) (P, $7.99) is brighter, cooler-toned. Urban Decay Quickie (LE) is brighter, lighter. theBalm Down Boy (P, $21.00) is lighter. NARS Angelika (P, $29.00) has more sparkle. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
This shade had good color payoff that strikes a good balance between true-to-pan pigmentation and ease of application, because it doesn’t feel like the merest touch of the brush yields too much product. If you prefer sheerer color or you’re very fair, you’ll want to use a light hand with it, but it’s a color that should work well on most skin tones. The finish is nearly-matte, but as it is buffed and blended onto the skin, it almost becomes a satin-matte–there’s a natural finish to it that keeps skin from looking too flat. The texture was soft, finely-milled, though not quite as buttery as other shades–a bit thinner. I wore this and the color lasted well for nine hours before fading softly along the outer edges.

Oh this is such a pretty yet natural flush on your cheeks!
Thank you, Divya!
I really like how this looks on you. It’s very soft and pretty
Thanks, Fancie!
It almost looks like a cool yellow undertone to this? Am I crazy or is that what I’m seeing?
Hmm, I didn’t see it myself – looked bluish to me, but maybe applied since I’m yellow-toned?
I did not pick this one up as I felt I had this cooler plum/rose zone adequately covered. The three blushes I love from this collection are Love Affair, Head over heels, and Spellbound. Love affair is the most unique to my blush collection and the most dramatic, but it’s stunning!!! Can’t go wrong in the quality/price department on these.
I’m so, so impressed by the texture of the blushes. You can definitely feel that there’s no talc in them (for the better).
isn’t marlena allergic to talc? this whole collection is drop dead gorgeous. each one looks better than the last on you. then one looks at the last one…. some days i think you flatter them more than they flatter you! MUG is going to be in heavy production mode for the foreseeable future.
I think it breaks her out, if I remember correctly!
You’re too kind, KJH 🙂
The more swatches you’re posting, the more of these blushes I want to buy. *_*
They are amazing!!
Okay, it’s decided, I’m going to make a petition to try and get Make Up Geek to come to Switzerland.
I think they ship internationally!
They do, and the delivery is very speedy. I think I got my order in less then a week. From my one time (so far) experience I can recommend ordering from them. Postage was about $9, not bad at all.
Not bad at all – it sounds about right for shipping internationally based on when I ship out prizes!
Marlena brought out some amazing blushes and the quality for the price is simply great! Hoping some of them will come back in stock soon!
She did a fantastic job!
Beautiful!
Glad ya liked it, Rikki!
This looks gorgeous on you! How does it compare to Nars Mata Hari?
Mata Hari is pretty different! Here’s a side-by-side – http://www.temptalia.com/submit-dupe?sbs=1&pid=167571&dupe=111346
Thank you so much Christine!!!
I’ll have to pick this one up next Makeup Geek order, don’t know how I missed it when I order(Hanky Panky, Secret Admirer, Love Affair). I am very impressed with the quality of this line of blushes.
SO happy you’re loving them so far, JJ! Which is your favorite?
Tough choice to make but probably secret admire I love anything purpley/lavendery.
Good one 😀
Whoops, and there’s another blush added to my list!
Haha! Oops!
yes to all the cool toned pink blushes.
😀
This is one of the only ones available (pan version) on the makeup geek site! I think I’ll have to pick out a few they seem so gorgeous & high quality!
It’s amazing they sold out in so many shades!
I really like the purple undertones in this one 🙂 (Well,of coure I would, wouldn’t I?) They at an extra ‘someone just told me something really naughty’ dimension to the flush, without being too purple or so cool that it makes things difficult to balance. Lovely!
Haha! I thought of you when I was trying this shade!
Un rubor hermoso..rosita como me gusta!
Glad you liked it!
I will have to order a couple of the MUG blushes. They seem so good, and the price is hard to beat for that quality.
This one gives you a very natural flush, Christine. I like it a lot!
These are every bit as good as $30+ blushes! Easily one of my favorite formulas.
I think I may have to bite the bullet, pay the duty and have these blushes shipped to me. This colour looks fantastic on you btw. 🙂
At least they aren’t too pricey!
Christine, will these fit in a z-pallette?
Yes, I don’t see why not!
