Hey dolls, I hope you are all having a great day! A few weeks ago, MAC came out with a new limited edition collection called Tres Cheek. The collection consist of six new powdered blushes, that have been getting a lot of love from the beauty blogging community. I finally stopped by my nearby MAC store this past weekend and checked out the collection in person. While swatching the blush colors, I was instantly impressed by Modern Mandarin ($20.00).
Modern Mandarin (satin) is a vivid, yellow-peach coral, that contains small, fine shimmers. The main reason that I was so drawn to Modern Mandarin was because of its gorgeous color and pigmentation. I am pretty sure that I don't have a blush that is quite like this one. Its a refreshing addition to my makeup arsenal. Summer is nearby and, I think Modern Mandarin is the perfect color to sport during those warmer months. This is no surprise to me, seeing as I am constantly wearing peach/coral blushes during that time.
When applying Modern Mandarin, a light hand is preferred. I accidentally picked up too much product on my blush brush and I ended up with clown cheeks! So, remember that a little bit goes a long way. The texture of this blush is a dream. Its enjoyably smooth and blends with ease. As for the shimmers, they are so fine that, they don't really show up on my cheeks, at all.
The longest I have worn this blush was for 7 hours and by the end of the day, there was very minimal fading. Keep in mind, I have oily skin so, those with normal or drier skin, may fare better when it comes to lasting power.
Overall, I am really pleased with Modern Mandarin and I definitely advise those who are thinking about picking this up, to do so as soon as possible, before this sells out. Luckily my local MAC counter had a few left in stock and right now, I am seeing on the MAC website that Modern Mandarin-as well as the other blushes in the collection, are all still available online. Get this beauty while you still can, lovelies. It's worth it, I assure you!
What do you all think of Modern Mandarin? Did any of you pick up any other blushes from the Tres Cheek collection?

DeleteThis is so gorgeous! I've been trying to stick to a beauty budget this month but I don't want to pass this up. I'm loving all the orange blushes this season.
ReplyDeleteI think its awesome that you are keeping track of your beauty budget! I need to do the same because, I am so easily tempted by every beauty item I see, LOL! But, I think you should make a tiny exception for Modern Mandarin, seeing as it is a limited edition blush, that I think nobody should pass up!!!!
