Askmewhats Reviews: MAC Grand Duo Light Over Dark

When MAC came up with a mineralized blush duo collection, I told myself I have to check it out because it looks really pretty!!! I want to have at least one in my collection!

Choosing only 1 is difficult, am I going for peach? pinks? The answer can be made if it's tested on my cheeks! And I chose none of the above!

I went for MAC Grand Duo Light Over Dark, it's a nice "bronzey" duo that gives me a healthy and natural flush.

MAC Grand Duo Blush says ---

A Mineralize Blush featuring soft-shimmer super-shine pearl in pretty tricolor veining to enhance and glorify cheekbones, followed with the pop and dimension of solid color shimmer without an overly frosted look.

Pros

• can create 3 different shades as compared to a regular mono blush
• gives out a healthy glow due to it's pretty sheen
  
• very pigmented
• lasts long
• a great everyday color
  

Cons

• pricey
• if not careful, this can be shattered easily if dropped
  

Overall

I admit, I had big regrets after I purchase this because I felt that I got sidetracked by the SA of MAC. I went there originally thinking about a Pinkish shade and felt bad that I left in a different blush color.

When I got home, I tested it on my cheeks and feel that it is indeed pretty but a bronzer from different brands can do the same job! I even plan to return it the next day but the lazyness in me stopped me from doing so.

Now that it's been with me for quite some time, I found that even though there's a lot of dupes out there, this blush does give me a healthy glow when needed.

Yes, this is a good buy but I won't say this is the best buy, again there's always different brands out there that gives out the same shade and glow I want.

But I am not complaining....this looks ok on my skin!

Tips

• use this as an eyeshadow as well
• try on different sides and see which one would work best for you
• tap the brush to remove excess
  
• start applying less, adding as you go on
• Stila bronzer is a good dupe!
• for the blush not to come out too strong, use a big fluffy brush or stippling brush to applyl
  

Will I repurchase?

Not this shade, this will last me a lifetime!
