Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the MAC Powder Blush in the shade Dame. I got this about a year ago but I’ve recently rediscovered it in my collection which is always nice.
MAC Blushes are very famous but this is the only shade I own as I’m not really a blush person. On the website that’s what they say about their blushes:
“A blush that provides fantastic colour with ease and consistency”.
You can get from maccosmetics.com for 23$.
PACKAGING
The packaging is very simple and minimal, I like that I can see the shade through the top.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
The formula is quite hard and stiff especially when you swatch it, it’s not really pigmented.
It doesn’t have any fallout.
Usually, I like a less pigmented blush, it reduces the risk of clown cheeks, but this is a too much, it takes so long to apply, I mean, you can build it up but it’s not quick.
As you can see, mine has the “expired product patches” the blush is not expired, it creates them every time I swatch it and it did since the beginning, I don’t know why. I can scrape them off but it’s quite annoying.
APPLICATION
It’s really easy to blend and to layer, it looks so beautiful on the skin.
The shade I have is Dame, which is a satin blue-pink, very elegant, it looks super natural on the skin.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
On me it lasts around 6 hours before starting to fade.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 9/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 7/10
- Texture: 6/10
- Pigmentation: 7/10
- Packaging: 10/10
GRADE: B-
This blush is very pretty once you put it on, it looks like you are naturally flushed but it’s also really really hard to apply, it takes ages to see some colour, once it’s on it blends easy and it layers but what a struggle. The lasting power is ok. If you like the colour you can get it since it’s not awful in any way but it’s not something I would run out to buy.

I’ve never used a mac product before but look forward to getting some mac products next month. What are your top 5 recommendations for a mac newbie? 🙂
They have some pretty amazing things 🙂 I love their:
-Pro Longwear concealer here you can see the review https://blushydarling.com/2018/01/17/macplwconcealer/
-MAC lipsticks are incredible and one of my favourite formula, my top are Ruby Woo, Brave and Syrup
– Another staple is their lip liner in Soar
– I love their paint pot in Groundwork
– And you can’t go wrong with their blushes
😀 Hopefully you’ll find something to love and let me know what end up picking up <3 x
This is really helpful! Thank you so much <3
You are so welcome ?
Awwww it looks really pretty!! I must say I’ve never really tried blush before xx
It’s a game changer! ?
This blush looks so pretty! I honestly haven’t tried many MAC products but I definitely should!
They have so many hits you totally should ??
It looks great, but I don’t think it would be for me since it’s so difficult to put on. I don’t wear a ton of blush either because my cheeks tend to get really red on their own. LOL

I have to agree with you 🙂 it can be tricky! Thank you for reading xx
Wonderful review, always love reading makeup reviews that are honest. The shade is so pretty and looks beautiful on you!
Thank you so much! Always keeping it real here ??
I love all my Mac blushes and I havent had the need to restock as they last forever. Great post
I hate it when products get hard pan just when you are using them normally! I haven’t actually tried MAC blushes, but this looks like a nice berry shade! Lovely review girly 🙂
Thank you may darling! <3 I know, it's so annoying
I love this shade! I can’t wear many blushes though because mu skin is super fair and everything looks funny on me :-/
This is super delicate! You won’t get the clown effect at all!
This is such a beautiful shade and looks stunning on! x
Thanks ???
I love MAC, but my favorite MAC products are the eye shadows because they are so pigmented!
They are some of my favourite eyeshadows too ♥️
