Editor's Review

MAC Pinch Me Powder Blush ($24.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium, rosy copper with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, though the firmer, denser texture worked well with a lighter hand to achieve more buildable coverage if preferred. It was, however, much more pigmented than expected based on the finish (Sheertone). The texture was soft, velvety, and much smoother than past versions I've tried of this shade, which made more blendable and easier to work with. On me, it wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

The blush is certainly buildable and easy to apply, however, after about 4 hours it oxidizes to an unattractive orange color. It does this even when applied over foundation.
