Mac Pinch Me blush is a warm peachy coral blush. I bought it about two years ago after I saw it in a makeup video on Youtube by Amerie. You know the lady who made the song “1 Thing” from the 2000s? If it’s not ringing a bell. Listen and it might come back to mind.😄

Do you remember now? 😂

Anyway, the video below is the one I saw featuring Pinch Me. This was around the time I started to prefer to wear coral and peach shades. I was already creating a list of coral/peach lipsticks and blushes. So naturally Pinch Me caught my eye when she showed it in her video. And I wanted to try it on myself so I bought one.

It is a part of Mac’s sheertone powder blush line. And costs about $32 on the Mac website at regular price. If you catch a sale it’s a buy cheaper. Right now, it is selling for $22.

Side note: The amount of times I’ve written Punch Me instead of Pinch Me (in web searches and writing) is both hilarious and criminal and I wonder if I should be concerned. 😂

Here is the video the blush was featured in.

It comes in the classic black packaging that Mac Blushes come and it’s pressed powder form. It’s a very pigmented blush that seems light at first. But it’s easy to over do it. One day I put on quite a bit of it because I thought it wasn’t showing up. And the next time I saw myself in a mirror the only thing I noticed were my bright glowing coral cheeks. So when applying this blush its best to use a light hand and blend well.

It perfectly fits the season we are in now as I write this. It reminds me spring flowers or a pink and orange sunset in the summer time. It looks light in the pan and on my swatched photos. But it is a bit more orange-y pink leaning coral in person.

Pros

  • Bright and pigmented
  • Blends well
  • Lasts throughout the day

Cons

  • Ironically, the con is also the brightness because if too much is applied it gets unflattering really fast. But that is fixable.

It’s a good product overall. If you are a fan of coral blushes I recommend it.

      Mine too! It’s good one. Let’s hope they don’t start to change up the blushes too. 🤞

    Such a nice shade and I adore Amerie and 1 thing ! It’s one of my favorite songs , I was so hyped when it showed up in Grand Theft Auto 5 . Did you know Amerie was a book writer too ?

      Isn’t it?! I discovered her makeup videos because of her book reviews on her channel. She reads widely too which was cool to learn.
