Mac Apres Chic Mineralize Skinfinish in Stereo Rose

I know you probably cannot buy it anywhere in the UK at the present time (maybe some single mac counters) and I know it is sold out online – it has been so long since I actually got it but there was so many reviews popping up on the net at the time I thought I would just skip it. My mistake. :P

Stereo Rose is a very sought-after coral blusher with golden shimmer and a hint of pink. It has frosty finish.  This is my first ever Stereo Rose and I must admit I understand why it is so popular. It is just such a wearable shade. I have been wearing it every day since I got it! The ratio of colour to shimmer in Stereo Rose is just right. It gives you a nice hint of colour while highlighting your cheeks at the same time. It is perfect for daytime looks, night-time looks (you can build it up), looks for special occasions… This product is so versatile it is almost perfect.

Mac Apres Chic Mineralize Eye Shadow in Winter Pursuit, Frost at Midnight and Fireside

Mac Apres Chic Mineralize Eye Shadow in Winter Pursuit

Mac Apres Chic features five eyeshadows: Ice, Winter Pursuit, Silver Birch, Frost at Midnight and Fireside. All limited edition (and thanks for that!...).

Right, but before I go into detail shall we start from the beginning?

Winter Pursuit is a very glittery gold copper shade with silver veins. It looks golden brown when applied. It has very metallic finish. Very wearable shade. This is the most intense out of three. Hard to transfer from your fingernail you're your skin, even harder with a brush. Had to put on a few layers for the colour to show up. Once you get through all of this, it looks okay on your skin.
