MAC Taste Tempations Powder Blush in Passionately Tempted and Unconventional Review and Swatches

MAC Taste Temptation Powder Blush in Passionately Tempted and Unconventional
I think of all the collections to come out recently, MAC Taste Temptations, was one of my favorites.
 "A seductive style surfaces after-hours, drawing in an exotic panorama of pleasure-seeking, night-blooming violets. M∙A∙C captures this world in an elegant colour collection of deep purples, plums and amethysts."
What a beautiful color scheme to welcome the cooler weather. This collection included a range of products but this post will focus on the two powdered blushes.

I find these blushes to be rather unique in their color scheme. Passionately Tempted is rather pigmented for a blush. It is a mid toned magenta. Really not something you see everyday and i found this shade a little hard to wear. No matter how lightly i apply this it still made me look like i had some sort of rosacea. After some blending with mineral powder foundation it began to suit me perfectly. This shade may work better for those with a darker skin tone but those who are light skinned my have a little bit of an issue with this shade. While not hard to blend i didn't have the easiest time.

 As for the second blush, Unconventional, is described as a pale, shimmering lavender, while i found it to be not shimmery in the least, it was a nice soft lavender. I don't think this shade could work on everyone. While the above shade may suit those with a darker skin tone better, Unconventional may suit those with lighter skin just a little better. This shade inst too pigmented but can be built up, i don't think you will need to though.
