Mac x Coygirl Blush

This babe was my first ever MAC blush. An odd choice of shade for your first time, I know, and I actually think being inexperienced in the field of "rouge" and then opting to use a bold deep purple shade scared me on a subconscious level. However, I made it work and it's a love of mine. I remember going to the saleslady and she thought it'd be a brilliant colour for my dark brown/black hair and I kind of went along.

The packaging is very no fuss. Simple and durable, the classic MAC case. I like that you can see through the top or I'd never be able to figure out what blush was what- which would frankly piss me off in the long run I think!

It's not all that crazy actually, and can be blended out into this nice sheer shade (well, it IS a sheertone blush!) as seen on the pictures below- it still looks best complimented with a slight touch bronzer in my opinion! Coygirl is such a pretty purply-mauve shade. Sometimes I even think it looks hot pink. It's safe to say that it doesn't get boring with this one! To be honest, I had a hard time dosing the amount of blush when I started using it. Sometimes I feel as if it gets blended away! I learned that applying it a little at a time without buffing it in too heavily is the best strategy.

And yes it looks rad on pale skin and with very dark hair- it adds a little life to one's face without looking freakishly unnatural. It's an interesting shade that I'd recommend to someone who would be interesting in switching their routines up a bit. However, for first timers: go with MAC's cremeblend blush in Brit Wit! It's my all time favourite blush, and the next in line to be reviewed.
