My Top 5 MAC BLUSHES
I am such a sucker for blushes. My hubby made me fall in love with these beautiful blushes. Once a MAC makeup artist used Fleur Power blush on me and my hubby liked it so much that he asked me to go buy blushes. I tried a few brands ranging from Covergirl , Maybelline , Loreal , Stila , Colorbar besides MAC.
MAC has some of the best blushes in cream and powder finishes so we have compiled a list of best MAC blushes overall and for fair skin also. I have already reviewed MAC Fleur Power on the blog so check it out if you want to.
But MAC is written all over my mind and soul 🙂 The top 5 blushes are powder blushes that come in almost 40 colors and 5 finishes – matte , sheertone , satin , sheertone shimer, frost.
- Sheertone shimmers are sheer and slightly shimmery (so they apply lightly).
- Matte is flat and without any shine or sparkle.
- Frost finishes are high shine and highly reflective because of the sparkle particles in them.
- Satin is somewhere in between matte frost but very creamy and applies like a dream.
- To do the perfect makeup for fair skin, start by lightly applying concealer to any imperfections, and finish it off with a light dusting of matte powder. For your everyday look, try a light blush on your cheeks, along with two coats of mascara and white eyeliner on your bottom lashes to make your eyes seem bigger.
- Best MAC Lipstick Color for Fair Skin Having fair skin is either a blessing or a disaster. It’s a dream for many women, and on the other hand, some fair-skinned women wish they’re tanner or darker.

It is a beautiful shade of pink-coral but you have to be very careful while using it. Apply it with very light hands otherwise you will look like a clown. It was my first purchase and will always be close to my heart.

3. MAC Blush WELL DRESSED – This blush is a perfect flush of light pink color. When you don’t want that PINK look but still want a flush of colour on your cheeks. If you want only one pink blush in your stash, I suggest you go for this color. It is a beautiful light pink blush and a must have.

I was looking for a bronzer but we Indians are not very comfortable with the idea of that TANNED look. While searching for that little bit of tan and sunkissed look that too without a bronzer, I came across this beautiful peach bronze shade. It has very light golden shimmer, which gives you a TAN look .

From creams to stains, drugstore to designer options, and plenty of bright cheek inspiration from both the runways and editorial shoots, blush is not an afterthought; it's just as important whether you wear a natural look, a bold lip, or a dramatic cat eye. But how do you pick the perfect blush color for your complexion? It's surprisingly difficult—especially considering the wrong shade can leave you looking like a clown. We chatted with makeup artist Katey Denno—who works with Amanda Seyfried, Isla Fisher, Mindy Kaling, and more—for guidance.
“Blush is all about making the rest of the face brighter and fresher,” Denno says. “The goal is to pick a shade that matches the color of your cheeks when you have a natural flush.”
Once you determine the best blush color for your complexion, picking a formula is easy: If you’re prone to breakouts or have oily skin, go for a powder formula. A cream or stain is good for clear skin and darker complexions, but will need to be reapplied after a few hours.
If you want a bold, colorful cheek, try layering a powder formula over a stain or cream so it’ll last the longest.
Take a look at Denno’s recommendations for nearly every skin tone below.
Fair With Red Undertones
“If you’re extremely pale with red undertones (like Amanda Seyfried), you’ll want to choose a cool pink color,” Denno says. “Anything warm could make your skin look ruddy.” Denno’s top pick for fair skin tones is Ilia Multi-Stick ($34) in Tenderly.
Fair With Dark Features
“If you have pale skin with dark eyes and hair, you’re going to want something lively on your cheeks,” Denno says. She suggests a peachy-pink shade like Nars Blush ($30) in Orgasm as the best blush for fair skin and dark hair to flatter and brighten your complexion. We also love Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush ($40) in Magenta, which is a little brighter than Orgasm if you’re seeking a tad more oomph.
Shades with a flattering intermix of gold deliver a shimmery sun-kissed glow to the skin.

Fair to Medium With Red Hair
Denno knows a thing or two about red hair. She created this look on Isla Fisher, and has red hair herself. Redheads can wear a range of pinks and peaches, but avoid anything coral, she warns. Her selections are Alima Pure Loose Mineral Blush ($24) in Freja or Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush ($29) in Glisten.
Fair to Medium With Brown Hair
If you have fair-to-medium skin and brown hair like Alexa Chung, consider yourself very lucky, says Denno. “You can wear so many different tones!” she says. For a rosy flush and a dewy, fairy-kissed finish, this duo from Kosås is sheer brilliance.
Medium With Golden Tones
Purplish pinks and peachy-pink hues work best on golden blondes like Blake Lively because of the undertones in their hair. Denno’s pick is Nars Blush ($30) in Outlaw. E.l.f. Blush in Pink Rose ($3) is a great affordable option.
Olive
If your complexion is similar to Eva Mendes’, the best blush for olive skin requires not one, but two formulas. Start with a cream bronzer to define your cheeks, and then top it with a peachy blush with red undertones, Denno says. She suggests Ilia Illuminator ($34) in Sway followed by Kjaer Weis Cream Blush ($56) in Sun Touched.
Beige Undertones
Lucy Liu’s beige undertones look best with a touch of pale pink, Denno says. Try Bobbi Brown Blush ($32) in Coral Sugar. Then, to kick it up a notch in the luminosity department (if you feel so inclined), try topping off your application with Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powder ($45) in Devotion. Trust us—it will make you look like an ethereal angel.

Dark With Warm Undertones
Just like Chung, women with complexions like Mindy Kaling’s can wear a variety of colors. Denno’s suggestions for the best blush for dark skin include hot coral, warm reds with rich brown undertones, and purple hues. “Indian women need a lot of color, so I always start with a stain and then layer a powder on top,” Denno says. “Vapour Beauty Multi-Use Stains ($36) in Crave or Enchant are great—and so is Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush ($29) in Blissful.”

Golden With Peachy Undertones
If you share Chrissy Teigen’s golden coloring, try a rose color or a pinkish peach hue like the iconic NARS Blush ($30) in Orgasm. It has a subtle touch of shimmer without looking sparkly—think fresh and glowing. (The shade is the go-to blush hue for both our features editor Amanda Montell and senior editor Hallie Gould—although Hallie actually prefers it in stick form!)
Dark With Golden Undertones
“A peachy-pink blush would look great on Kerry [Washington],” Denno says, “but she could also rock a hot pink.” Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick ($50) in Poppet is gold in a tube. Plus, it’s filled to the gills with an entire host of skin-improving fares like BerryFlux Vita and jojoba oils.

Deep With Neutral Undertones
“Darker complexions look best with a super-pigmented cream blush,” Denno says. Currently, we’re having a major moment with any of the hues from RMS, but the brand’s Lip2Cheek ($36) in Beloved is out of this world.
“I have warm, reddish-orange undertones, and this blush from MAC is one of my favorites at the moment,” says assistant editor Maya Allen.
Another favorite from Maya? This gorgeous hue from NARS. “Mr. Nars created this blush for Naomi Campbell, and it’s extra flattering on dark skin tones,” she says.
“My undertones are neutral and a little on the sandy side,” says wellness editor Victoria Hoff. “Therefore, I’m lucky and can wear pretty much anything. I do, however, love Glossier Cloud Paint ($18) in Dusk. It has a very pretty, very ’70s kind of vibe.”
Coral Blush Fair Skin
“Not only is this blush cute as can be with its compact, flower-shaped palette, but it also delivers the perfect amount of color, so you’re not overly flushed or wondering if you even applied any in the first place,” managing editor Lindsey Metrus shared. “I have very fair skin and love the shade Pink Pop, a soft rosy pink that matches my natural pink undertones.”
