Editor's Review

MAC Springsheen Powder Blush ($24.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium, pink-coral with golden shimmer. It had medium, buildable pigmentation--and it was listed as "Sheertone Shimmer" for its official finish--but it was easy to apply two to three layers and get near-opaque coverage. The texture was smooth to the touch, dense and a little on the firmer side, though I didn't have any issues picking up product with a standard blush brush and moderate hand. The finish was noticeably shimmery but did not emphasize my skin's natural texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before it started to fade noticeably.

MAC Springsheen is a classic pink coral (with a vibe of peach) with golden shimmer, definitely a blush shade that can fit into any basic `must-have` blush color. The MAC Sheertone Shimmer formula is quite powdery and this is no exception. MAC Matte and Sheertone blushes have a more soft, finely-milled and smooth texture, the Sheertone Shimmers have some `chunkiness` from my point of view (although not in a bad way). But MAC Springsheen still blends beautifully. The color pay-off depends a lot on the brush I apply it; the formula is quite buildable, from a dust of color with a loose soft brush, to a `in your face` deep pink coral with a stiffer denser brush. It's a color that will work well on the very fair to medium complexion, but on darker complexions I believe only the golden shimmer will show. The shimmer particles are visible, but not sparkly, emphasizing any pores (the primer used will impact how much of the pores show, still); but it's a forgiving shimmer, compared with other shimmery blushes. On my skin it starts fading after 4-6 hours, but not in a bad way. The shimmer will disappear if I touch up with blotting paper.
