This guide helps you master the MAC Glow Play Blush in 'That's Peachy', a cushiony blush designed for a natural, buildable glow. It's ideal for those seeking a fresh, radiant complexion with an easily customizable pop of color.

The MAC Glow Play Blush in 'That's Peachy' excels at delivering a youthful, radiant flush. Its unique cushiony texture means it's not a powder, cream, or liquid in the traditional sense, offering the best of several worlds. For a natural, everyday look, apply a small amount using your fingertips by gently tapping and blending onto the apples of your cheeks, then sweeping slightly towards your temples. The warmth of your fingers helps melt the product into the skin for a seamless finish.
For more definition or a slightly more intense color, use a stippling brush or a dense blush brush. Pick up product by gently pressing the brush onto the blush surface, then tap onto your cheeks. Build up in light layers until your desired color intensity is achieved. 'That's Peachy' is perfect for adding warmth to fair to medium skin tones and a subtle brightening effect on deeper complexions, providing a soft, diffused peachy hue that complements many looks. It pairs beautifully with dewy foundations and highlighters for an all-over luminous effect, or with matte bases for a contrasting pop of fresh color.
This product requires no setup. Simply open the compact and it's ready for use.
MAC Glow Play Blush is generally suitable for all skin types, including dry, normal, oily, and combination skin. Its non-powdery texture means it's less likely to accentuate dry patches, and its lightweight formula typically won't feel heavy on oily skin. It integrates well with both liquid and powder foundations, though for best results and seamless blending, apply it after liquid or cream base products and before setting powders (if used).
Storage: Keep the compact closed tightly after each use to prevent drying out and protect the product from dust and air. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
Cleaning: To maintain hygiene, if you apply with your fingers, ensure your hands are clean. If using a brush, clean your makeup brushes regularly as per standard practice. The surface of the blush itself generally doesn't require cleaning, but avoid introducing moisture or foreign substances into the compact.
Handling: The cushiony texture is delicate; avoid pressing too hard or using sharp tools on the product to prevent damage.
