My work place is pretty open to makeup but I would definitely prefer to keep a simple office type look while there and maybe on casual Fridays for work and on the weekends have a separate look. What I realized when scanning though my makeup stash was that most of my blushes were way too loud for the office so what better excuse to use to hop down to my favourite MAC store. :)
Now just to mention it, don’t try attempting to get quick service on a Friday or Saturday at the MAC store. It’s usually super busy. The MAC makeup artists are always so helpful though but you may require a bit of patience. But patience I had that day which led me to my beloved Melba blush.
I just needed the colour to suit my NC 45 skintone, be a powder blush for simple application and be matte, not shimmery. We did try out Fleur Power first, which is a soft pinky coral colour but I still felt it was a tad too bright. Melba however was a soft, coral peach colour and look really great on me when she applied with her MAC 116 blush brush.
And yes lovelies instead of showing you a swatch on my hand, let’s see how Melba swatches on the face! I was wearing my blush proudly from the MAC store to the parking lot here!!!!!
I really love this colour, it’s a blush colour that's there but not in the way someone can say hey she’s wearing blush! It really is the perfect colour for work. And Yes! I have been rocking out Melba at work! She feels like one with my face. So what’s your favorite work blush? This girl can never have enough blush!
Happy Blushing!
